Samsung Galaxy M53 5G


Nice looking, with a great screen and enough specs to do a day's work.
Not long ago, we saw an A53 5G on these pages. Samsung has taken to using the same naming conventions across its A and M series, so we now have an M53 5G right on cue.

The M series is typically less expensive than the A series; it's for those looking for a good Samsung phone without breaking the bank, though Samsung aims for "Gen Z."

The M53 5G is designed in the same manner as many other Samsung phones. It's flat with slightly curved corners, thin, and light. The back is a stylized polycarbonate that looks nice, especially in the olive green tone I received for review. It catches the light and bounces it back at you. The camera square is prominent, as it always is, and there's nothing else to distract from the back except the Samsung logo.



The fingerprint sensor is located on the power button and functions properly. The 3.5mm jack does not return on this device. However, it does have a microSDXC card slot. The battery has a capacity of 5,000mAh and charges at a rate of 25W. Because there is no charger in the box.

There's a vibrant, vibrantly colored display. It's 6.7 inches in size, but it has the brilliance of a Samsung display. It has a refresh rate of 120Hz (no adaptive business). I couldn't get rid of the Glance option on this phone, so whenever I woke up the screen, I got different content; in the process, I was treated to a splendid feast of color. The screen is also completely sun-friendly.

The M53 is powered by the 6nm MediaTek MT6877 Dimensity 900, which is found in a number of phones in this price range these days. It comes with 6GB or 8GB of RAM and 128GB of UFS 2.2 storage. This phone is reasonably fast and well suited to daily tasks, and it can handle some gaming without overheating. The performance is adequate for the specifications. To provide a smooth ride, Android 12 and Samsung's excellent OneUI 4.1 work in tandem. There's a lot of bloatware that's completely unworthy of this brand.



The cameras have a 108MP primary lens, an 8MP ultra-wide lens, a 2MP macro lens, and a 2MP depth sensor. The front-facing camera is, as expected, a 32MP shooter. The cameras are adequate for a phone in this price range. The camera app includes all of the features found on more expensive phones, so you'll have plenty to play with and video to shoot.

The M53 5G is pitted against the Nord CE 2 from OnePlus. The two have nearly identical specs, with only a few differences in the cameras and battery size due to the smaller screen size. There is also a distinction in charging technology.

Severance's strange computers and claustrophobic hallways

Severance's strange computers and claustrophobic hallways The computers in Lumon's vast underground office, the megacorporation at the heart of Apple TV Plus' thriller Severance, are downright bizarre. They appear to be an old Mac at first glance, but the closer you look, the stranger they become. The CRT display functions as a touchscreen in some ways. The gorgeous blue keyboard is accompanied by a massive trackball. The goal, according to production designer Jeremy Hindle, was to create a device that doesn't make much sense, mirroring the purgatory-like world that exists only within Lumon's basement. "The idea was that anything you could see underground didn't exist anywhere up top," Hindle explains. "You'll never see that computer or keyboard again." This article contains minor Severance spoilers.  Severance is set in a world where a new procedure — the titular severance — allows workers to split their lives in half after undergoing mi...

The Sixers admit that the officiating in Game 4 against the Raptors bothered them.

TORONTO–The Philadelphia 76ers had a chance to sweep the Toronto Raptors and advance to Round 2 on Saturday, but they were unable to find a rhythm and were defeated 110-102 in Toronto. In Game 5, the series will return to Philadelphia. The Sixers lost their cool a little bit because they were upset with how the game was called. Philadelphia attempted 25 free throws to the Raptors' 35, and the Sixers were called for six more fouls. Coach Doc Rivers believed that his team would be unable to overcome the officiating in this game because they had allowed them to get inside their heads. Georges Niang fouled out after 22 minutes, Joel Embiid fouled out four times, and Tobias Harris fouled out five times. "Give them credit, they played hard and physical," Rivers said. "I thought we complained a little too much tonight" (Saturday). We just have to go play." Embiid was also called for a technical foul, as was Toronto's OG Anunoby, who got into a shoving match wi...
