The South Korean brand has some problems with innovation. Once again, we see how Samsung is trying to "overtake" the Chinese Xiaomi. Already adjusts the size of smartphones, copies camera blocks, announces the presence of 5G in budget phones. Only about the price, as always, forgets. The new Samsung Galaxy M53 5G is no exception. We see through the prism an analogue of Xiaomi only with an increased price tag.

The declared technical characteristics are relevant for any market. This is clearly not a flagship. And the average smartphone, which will be of interest to many buyers. Only, compared to Xiaomi phones, the Samsung Galaxy M53 5G has a very high price tag. It is clear that this is the number 1 brand. But, in terms of warranty obligations and the speed of new firmware releases, Samsung has long been no longer a leader in this segment.
Fortunately, Samsung abandoned the idea to develop its operating system for smartphones. Somehow Android 12 is much better. And this is a pleasant moment for buyers who prefer Korean rather than Chinese brands.
