Released in March 2021, the Galaxy A52 5G is expected to gain a successor soon. The Galaxy A53 5G passed through the Chinese agency responsible for the homologation of such products. In the documents, there are practically all technical specifications, such as larger battery, cameras and processor.
The Galaxy A53 5G that appears on TENAA has an octa-core processor with a maximum frequency of 2.4 GHz and 8 GB of RAM. The screen has FullHD+ (1080 x 2400 pixels) resolution and 6.46 inches diagonally. It should be AMOLED, as there is an indication that the smartphone will feature the always-on display feature.
The agency speaks of five cameras, three in the rear, with 64, 32 and 5 megapixels, and two in the front, with 12 and 5 megapixels. There must be some mistake here, though. Previously obtained renderings and TENAA’s own images, however, show the Galaxy A53 5G with four rear cameras and only one front.

Over dimensions, it will have 159.5 x 74.7 x 8.1 mm and 190 g in weight. The battery has 5,000 mAh and the device must come with a 15 W charger.
Other leaks point to slightly different information.
On Geekbench, smartphone performance testing platform, the successor to the Galaxy A52 5G that gave the faces has the code SM-A536U and runs Android 12, but has 6 GB of RAM. One specification that appears there is the Exynos 1200 processor, which has two performance cores with 2.4 GHz and six with 2 GHz.
You can imagine that this is another version of the same model. There are also rumors of versions with distinct chipsets for different markets. An option with 12 GB of RAM is not discarded.
The site 91Mobiles got some images of the housing of the device.
When comparing the Galaxy A53 5G with the Galaxy A52 5G, there are some important differences. The processor now reaches a speed of 2.4 GHz, 0.2 GHz more than the Snapdragon 750G 5G of the 2021 model — of course, that doesn’t mean much and we have to see in practice what the performance impact is.
The screen gave an almost irrelevant shrink, from 6.5 to 6.46 inches. The battery grew from 4,500 mAh to 5,000 mAh. The new handset should come with no headphone output, as expected since December, but with Bluetooth upgraded to version 5.2.
