It’s been over a week since the announcement and we finally have a price for the Samsung Galaxy M53 – € 520 normal price, but there will be a special discount of € 50 until May 2nd. The phone will be available on Samsung.com, Amazon on Monday Spain and PC Componentes.
Europe does not have the Galaxy A73, which is closest to the A-series M53. The Galaxy A53 is smaller (6.5 “versus 6.7”) and lacks the 108MP main camera of the other two. However, it has some advantages over the M phone and is cheaper at € 450 (in Spain). For reference, the Galaxy A52s used to cost € 340 on Samsung.com (now out of stock), but can still be found for slightly less on other stores. There is also the M52 for € 320 and the M33 for € 360.

In last week’s survey, many showed some interest in the Galaxy M53, subject to a competitive price. Do you think € 470 is competitive? And € 520?
Many people believe the Galaxy A73 and A53 are better than the M53, and we suspect the price will push enclosure models towards an A-series model. Why prefer those on an M-series phone?
Well, the A series gets better software support: 4 OS updates and 5 years of security patches, while the M series only gets 3 OS updates and 4 years of patches. It’s still better than most Android phones out there, but even so it means a year-old Galaxy A phone is on par with a current M-series phone.
Other complaints we’ve seen in the comments are that Samsung removed the OIS from the 108MP camera, even though the A73 had it. The A series models are also rated for IP67 dust and water resistance, the M53 does not have an official resistance rating. The Galaxy M51 stood out with a huge 7,000mAh battery, but the M52 and M53 dropped to 5,000mAh – that massive battery was a real plus for some.
Maybe Samsung will bring the Galaxy A73 to Europe later. Perhaps the Galaxy M53 will be cheaper in other regions. Those are just maybe, though.
Have you changed your mind on the Samsung Galaxy M53?
