Just over a month after Samsung’s last Unpacked presentation (where the Galaxy S22 phones and Tab S8 tablets were unveiled), the company announced two devices in its more midrange Galaxy A line. The stars of the show were the new additions to its budget-friendly Galaxy A series of phones, the Galaxy A53 and A33.
The Galaxy A53, which is the successor last year’s Galaxy A52 5G, features a 6.5-inch screen, 5G connectivity and four rear cameras all for $450 (£399 or roughly AU$710). That’s $50 cheaper than what last year’s A52 cost at launch. The latest affordable Galaxy A phone also sports a few new camera tricks, including a way to erase unwanted background objects and Fun Mode, Samsung’s take on Snapchat-esque AR filters.
