Samsung Galaxy A53 5G vs Samsung Galaxy A33 5G

Display and Design

Design-wise, both siblings are sharing the same design from their predecessors (A52S 5G and A32) with minor improvements. The build quality is not so prevailing as the back is still made of plastic. On the front side, Gorilla Glass 5 protection is given for protection against scratches. Both devices come with an IP67 rating and hybrid SIM/Micro-SD slot. The volume rockers and power keys are placed at the same position on both smartphones.

The alight difference appears on the front side, Samsung Galaxy A53 5G offers a 6.5″ AMOLED panel as compared to the 6.4″ AMOLED panel on the Samsung Galaxy A33 5G. Concerning the resolution, it is the same Full HD+ one. The PPI is 405 and 411 respectively. Whereas, the refresh rate is 120Hz for the A53 5G and 90Hz for the A33 5G. There is a punch-hole cutout on the Galaxy A53 5G while the Galaxy A33 5G retains a teardrop display. Besides that, both are quality AMOLED panels from the veteran, Samsung itself.

Samsung Galaxy A53 5G vs Samsung Galaxy A33 5G Camera

In the optics department, both phones have a quad camera setup. The resolution differs on the primary sensor, ultrawide, and depth sensors though. Samsung A53 5G sports a 64MP shooter with OIS.

For the front camera, the resolution gets 2.5 times higher with 32MP on the Galaxy A53 5G while there is a 13MP front camera on the Galaxy A33 5G. So, the 32MP selfie camera also has HDR for videos while the 13MP one lacks it. There shouldn’t be a drastic difference in picture outputs for the back cameras.

For videos, both phones can capture up to 4K 30fps.

Also, they run on the same One UI 4.1 skin on top of Android 12. The performance should be more or less the same on both devices.
