If you are aware of the Samsung Galaxy A52 and A52S then the A53 will look pretty much familiar to you. Samsung A53 is almost identical to the A52S with couple of small differences. 

One of these is the missing 3.5mm headphone jack in the A53 but it compensates with slightly bigger battery. They also have different processors but that is something we will discuss at a later stage.
