Samsung Galaxy A33 5G and Galaxy A53 5G Arrive in PH

Finally, Samsung Philippines has officially brought the much awaited Galaxy A33 5G and Galaxy A53 5G devices in the country through an exclusive livestream event held last night. Powered by a brand new processor, coupled with Galaxy's signature AI camera, expansive and smooth display, and two-day battery life, the new Galaxy A series features 5G connectivity, defense-grade security, an eco-conscious, stylish and slim design, and advanced connected experiences. Plus, both devices support continuous One UI and Android OS upgrades and security updates to ensure the user mobile experience is always awesome.

Capture the moment

Whether creating a content or sharing it with friends, Galaxy A53 5G and Galaxy A33 5G offer an advanced, next-level camera experience, packed with many powerful and fun features from the Galaxy A series. Galaxy A53 5G's quad-camera system features 64MP OIS Camera with VDIS technology that takes crisp and steady shots every time. Meanwhile, a high-resolution 32MP front camera delivers great selfies and clear video call experiences. 

Fueled by a brand new 5nm processor, the new Galaxy A series' innovative AI-powered camera makes every image look awesome - even in low lighting. Improved Night Mode automatically synthesizes up to 12 images at once, so night photos look bright, with less noise. And when shooting video in low light environments, the Galaxy A series' framerate is automatically adjusted to create bright, clear videos. 

The enhanced Portrait mode captures depth and subject outlines more accurately with dual cameras and powerful AI. Meanwhile, with Fun mode, moments can be amplified using playful filters and effects that now work with the Ultra-wide lens. For the first time on the Galaxy A series, Photo Remaster breathes new life into old photos by offering ideal lighting and resolution settings, and Object eraser removes pesky photo bombers in the background.  

Nice and expansive display

In the past, a sunny day could make it hard to see what's on a smartphone screen, but now the new Galaxy A series' intelligent algorithm ensures display comes through in vivid detail, even outside. Galaxy A53 5G's expansive 6.5-inch Super AMOLED display also offers a 120Hz refresh rate for an immersive experience while the Galaxy A33 5G features a 6.4-inch Super AMOLED display with a 90Hz refresh rate. Plus, the new Galaxy A series is now equipped with up to two day battery life and 25W Super Fast Charge - so viewing, streaming, and more can last longer. 

Beautiful and durable design right out of the box

The new Galaxy A series is expertly crafted to be fashionable, functional, and suitable. The device's slim bezel creates a smooth, stylish look and Ambient Edge design seamlessly blends the camera with the body of the phone. Both of the phones feature the tough Corning Gorilla Glass 5 and IP67 water and dust resistance, providing enhanced durability and peace of mind. 

Samsung has always challenged what's possible with technology and will continue to rethink how best to use the planet's resources. Announced in August 2021 with Galaxy for the Planet, Samsung is committed to delivering tangible environmental actions to help make the planet healthier by 2025. Building on Samsung's sustainability efforts, the Galaxy A series removes the charger plug and reduces the size of the packaging. Packaging also uses sustainably sourced paper, while the device itself users recycled post-consumer materials (PCM) for the side buttons and SIM card trays. 

Beyond materials, the longevity of the new A series is extended. Galaxy A53 5G guarantees up to four generations of One UI and Android OS upgrades and up to five years of security updates. These features allow users to access the latest software and security to maximize the smartphone lifecycle.
