The Samsung Galaxy A53 is one of the most advanced mid-range from the South Korean manufacturer today, and also the mobile that will give way to the Galaxy A54 5G shortly. This not only competes with mid-range devices from other brands, but also with the Galaxy A72, another phone in the same series. Because they are both of similar ranks and share various qualities, the question has arisen as to whether Which is better and why. To get out of this, below we compare them in depth, based on all their characteristics, technical specifications and prices.
The prices indicated in the article could vary over time, therefore, from tuexperto.com, we limit ourselves to analyzing the differences as of the publication date.
Identical to more could not, but with different screens
Samsung Galaxy A53
There is not much to say about the designs of both mobiles, since they are full blown twins, and for this reason it is difficult to differentiate them with the naked eye. And it is that both have the same body in polycarbonate that makes them proof of fingerprint marks, which usually give a dirty look to mobile phones with glass back covers, although the latter also give a more sensation in hand. premium. Finally, pros and cons…
Both also have a camera module with four sensors that are organized in the same way. At the same time, they make use of screens with a hole for the selfie camera in the upper central part of them. come on, what They practically do not have appreciable differences at an aesthetic level.
However, they do have several differences in terms of screens. To begin with, the Samsung Galaxy A53 is one of Super AMOLED technology that has a diagonal of 6.5 inches and has a FullHD+ resolution of 2,400 x 1,080 pixels, so its display format is the typical 20:9. Also has a high refresh rate of 120 Hz for animations and a scroll (gliding) quite smooth and fluid. In addition, it has a touch sampling rate of 240 Hz, a maximum brightness of 800 nits and is protected by Corning Gorilla Glass 5 to resist scratches and other types of abuse.
For his part, the screen of the Samsung Galaxy A72 is bigger, since it has a size of 6.7 inches, which makes this mobile anything but compact. In addition to this, like that of the Galaxy A53, it is Super AMOLED, has a maximum brightness of 800 nits and has a FullHD+ resolution of 2,400 x 1,080 pixels, which also provides an image ratio of 20:9. . Of course, its refresh rates and touch sampling are lower, being 90 and 180 Hz, respectively. Otherwise, it also comes with a Gorning Gorilla Glass 5 glass for protection.
Exynos and Mediatek go head to head again
Samsung Galaxy A72
The performance of both mobiles is usually more than enough for the vast majority of users, both to open applications of all kinds and to play heavy games with 3D graphics. However, as they are two mid-range mobiles, it must be borne in mind that They are not the most powerful on the market.It is worth noting. In the same way, they offer a fairly fluid user experience for day to day.
Responsible for the power in the Smausng Galaxy A54 is the Samsung Exynos 1280a processor that has a node size of 5 nanometers and an eight-core configuration that works at a maximum clock frequency of 2.4 GHz. To this we must add that it is paired with a 4 or 6 GB RAM of type LPDDR4 and an internal memory of 128 GB of type USF 2.2, which can also be expanded via a microSD card.
In the other corner we have the Samsung Galaxy A17 with the Qualcomm Snapdragon 720G, a SoC that in terms of power is lower than the aforementioned 1280, according to test platforms such as AnTuTu and Geebench, two of the most reliable and popular for measuring the performance of mobile processors. This chipset has a node size of 8 nanometers and has an octa-core configuration that is capable of working at 2.3 GHz. It is also paired with 6 or 8 GB LPDDR4 RAM and 128 or 128 or UFS 2.2 internal storage space. 256 GB which can also be expanded via microSD.
Different photographic bets
Both the Samsung Galaxy A53 and the Galaxy A72 come with a quad camera that features a 64-megapixel main sensor with f/1.8 aperture and support for video recording in 4K resolution at 30 fps (frames per second). However, said lens is paired with different sensors in each mobile.
This leaves us with the fact that the photographic configuration of the A53 also consists of a secondary sensor that fulfills the role of wide angle and has a resolution of 12 megapixels with an aperture f / 2.2 and a field of view of 123 °. The remaining sensors are two 5-megapixel macro and bokeh sensors with f/2.4 aperture each.
In the case of the Galaxy A72, the three remaining sensors of its quad camera are an 8-megapixel telephoto lens with f/2.4 focal aperture and 3X optical zooma 12-megapixel wide angle with f/2.2 focal aperture and 123° field of view, and a 5-megapixel macro with f/2.4 aperture.
for selfies, both come with the same 32-megapixel photo sensor with f/2.4 aperture and 4K video recording at 30 frames per second.
Batteries and other features
Another thing that the Samsung Galaxy A53 and A72 share is the battery. This is from 5,000 mAh and supports fast charging up to 25W via USB Type-C input.
Regarding connectivity, only the Galaxy A53 has 5G support. For the rest, both have 4G LTE, Wi-Fi 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac dual-band, GPS with A-GPS and GLONASS, NFC for contactless mobile payments and Bluetooth, which in the A53 is version 5.1 and on A72 it is version 5.0. Also, only the A72 has FM radio and a 3.5mm headphone jack input.
Other features of both mobiles include an under-display fingerprint readerstereo speakers, IP67 water resistance (submersion proof) and Android 12 under One UI 5.0 with the possibility of updating to Android 13.
Prices, conclusions and opinion: which is better, the Samsung Galaxy A53 or A72?
Currently, the Samsung Galaxy A53 can be obtained with a starting sale price of approximately 330 euros. In the meantime, the Galaxy A72 is somewhat more expensivesince it starts from 400 euros in most cases.
With this in mind, now it only remains to say which mobile is better, and this isIt is the Samsung Galaxy A53, the winner of this comparison. The reasons? We give them below…
For starters, although it has a slightly smaller screen than the Galaxy A72, it has a higher refresh rate and touch sampling. Its processor also offers better performance for day to day, making the user experience better on this mobile. It should also be noted that it has 5G connectivity and a more advanced version of Bluetooth. For these details, as well as for being cheaper and lighter, this mobile is a better purchase option today.
Nevertheless, the Galaxy A72 also has its pros, and one of them is the telephoto lens it has, something the A53 lacks. It also comes with FM radio and a 3.5mm headphone jack input. For the rest, it is offered in larger RAM and internal memory variants, something that many users may find quite important and even decisive when buying one or the other.
