Compare the most attractive Galaxy A53 and iPhone SE 2022 in the mid-range-Hi-tech fashion

iPhone SE 2022 and Galaxy A53 will be two worthy competitors in the mid-range market segment. Compare their strength to see who stands out more?

Price and internal memory

iPhone SE has an expected starting price in Vietnam of 12.99 million VND for 64 GB memory configuration, while the international price is 429 USD. Meanwhile, the price of Galaxy A53 is VND 9.99 million, but the internal memory is twice as high. Highlights of iPhone SE is the newer A15 Bionic chip for theoretically higher raw performance.

Needless to say, the iPhone SE is smaller than the Galaxy A53 in all dimensions as it comes with a 4.7-inch screen compared to the rival’s 6.5-inch. Besides, the iPhone SE has an outdated design with thick borders and a Home button.

The iPhone SE body has a premium glass material, while it’s made of plastic, the Galaxy A53 body isn’t bad at all with the new matte colors. The camera cluster is on one side, perfectly combined with the back, while the front is the entire screen and the thin bezels will give the Galaxy A53 a more modern look.

Color and design

The iPhone SE is available in Midnight, Starlight, and Red colors, while the Galaxy A53 comes in pastel colors like light blue or cream, as well as a wider choice of colors than the iPhone SE.

As for the specifications, it is not surprising that the 6.5-inch screen on the Galaxy A53 is better, not only in size but also Super AMOLED technology with 90 Hz refresh rate and 600 nits brightness.

Camera

In theory, the iPhone SE cannot have a camera like the Galaxy A53 when one side has a single camera, while the other has four cameras. However, only two of the four cameras of the Galaxy A53 that are widely used are 64MP main and 12MP ultra-wide. The advantage in the iPhone SE is that the 12 MP main camera on the back supports optical stabilization, while in terms of software, everything is optimized through the A15 chip, such as Smart HDR or Photographic Styles.

Apple calls it “the best single-camera system ever on an iPhone,” and with the help of the new A15 image processor, it’s able to produce some incredible shots for the camera hardware that is now available. This can take advantage of Smart HDR algorithms to capture a wider dynamic range.

As mentioned, in practice, the Galaxy A53 has a quad-camera system on the back that surpasses the iPhone SE in terms of specifications, but the 5 MP macro or depth sensors are the least exploited.

Video recording capabilities are also different. Since the iPhone SE can shoot 4K 60fps video that fills up 64GB of memory pretty quickly. The benefit on the product is that it has a better image processing chip, which brings convenient photography techniques.

When it comes to the front camera, the 32MP sensor on the Galaxy A53 can beat the 8MP on the iPhone SE, but keep in mind that a higher resolution isn’t always a good thing, especially since smaller pixels will make it worse. They are difficult in low light conditions.

Performance

The A15 Bionic chip inside the iPhone SE is really “a monster”. While the new Exynos 1280 is manufactured on an advanced 5nm process, but even the most advanced chips of the Android world cannot beat Apple’s best chip, it is not surprising that the performance of the iPhone SE is superior to that of Apple. Galaxy A53.

On the other hand, Samsung offers more RAM and 128 GB internal memory to meet the latest One UI 4.1 interface. Although the iPhone SE also has a 128 GB version, at that time the price of the device will be even higher than that of the Galaxy A53.

The big difference besides the chip is that the 5G modem inside the Galaxy A53 supports both mmWave and Sub 6 GHz networks, while the iPhone SE only stops at the slower Sub 6 GHz. However, that’s the bulk of the 5G network that’s covered today, so this probably shouldn’t matter.

Battery and charging speed

Apple says it has improved the battery life of the iPhone SE, but that is simply difficult to keep up with the giant 5,000 mAh battery on the Galaxy A53, which allows users to use it continuously for up to 2 days at average use. jar.

The iPhone SE can charge to 50% in 30 minutes, but users have to use a 20W charger to do that. Although the Galaxy A53 also does not include a charger in the box, it does support 25W fast charging which allows the 5,000 mAh battery to be charged faster on it.

Who should choose?

At a price difference of 3 million VND, Galaxy A53 and iPhone SE may meet different user requirements. While the Galaxy A53 stands out for its larger and much more comfortable Super AMOLED display, long-lasting battery and ultra-wide camera, the iPhone SE 2022 excels in chips.
