Samsung unveils new A-Series handsets with five new phones heading down under

After a successful launch of the Galaxy S22 series last month, Samsung has unveiled their latest mid-range handsets with five new Galaxy A-series handsets heading to Australia soon.

The new phones announced at an online event overnight include a mix of 5G and 4G compatible handsets, including the Galaxy A73 5G, Galaxy A53 5G, Galaxy A33 5G as well as the Galaxy A13 4G and Galaxy A23 4G.

The Galaxy A-Series are a good seller for Samsung, offering a large display with smooth scrolling thanks to impressive refresh rate, as well as long lasting battery life, security and an excellent experience wrapped up in a stylish design.

The new Galaxy A-series phones are running the latest Android 12 with Samsung’s OneUI 4.1 on-board, with Samsung promising ‘four generations of One UI and Android OS upgrades and up to five years of security updates’.

The flagship of the 2022 A-Series offers a large 6.7-inch Super AMOLED+ Infinity-O display with a 120Hz refresh rate and a punch hole notch fo the 32MP front-facing camera. The Galaxy A73 also includes a quad-camera array on the rear consisting of a 108MP Main camera, with a 12MP Ultra-Wide, as well as 5MP Macro and 5MP depth sensor as well.

The phone comes with an IP67 water/dustr resistance rating and is powered by an octa-core processor with 6GB of RAM and 128GB of on-board storage (with microSD card expansion).

There’s a 5,000mAh battery on-board which should see you through the day, though it supports 25W Super Fast Charging if you need a quick top up at the end of the day.

TheGalaxy A53 is the headliner for the A-Series launch this year, with Garry McGregor, VP:IT & Mobile at Samsung Electronics Australia describing the A53 priced at $699 as ‘pound for pound one of the best mid-tier devices on the market‘.

There’s a lot to like about the Galaxy A53, which will be offered in both Awesome Black and Awesome Blue colour options and a durable body with an IP67 rating.

The phone comes with a generously sized 6.5-inch Super AMOLED Infinity-ODisplay with 120Hz refresh rate and a 32MP front-facing camera – with a quad-camera array on the rear headlined by a 64MP main sensor, 12 MP Ultra-Wide, 5 MP Macro and 5 MP depth sensing camera also on-board.

Samsung is also offering an octa-core processor on the Galaxy A53 5G with 6GB RAM and 128GB of on-board storage which can be expanded with a microSD card.

Again there is a 5,000mAh battery on-board which also supports 25W Super Fast Charging.

The Galaxy A53 will be the first A-Series to arrive in Australia, with the phone arriving on April 1st with pre-orders going live today including a special pre-order bonus.

Also announced is the Galaxy A33, another 5G enabled handset in the A-Series. The handset is priced at just $599 and offers many of the features from the higher-end units for a slightly cheaper price.

For $599 you’ll get a 6.4-inch Super AMOLED Infinity-U Display with a 90Hz refresh rate. It’s also powered by an octa-core processor and just like the higher end models it includes 6GB of RAM and 128GB storage. There’s also a 5,000mAh battery on-board with 25W Super Fast Charging supported.

Samsung hasn’t skimped on the camera for the A53 5G, with a 13MP front-facing camera nestled into the tear-drop notch, while a quad-camera array featuring a 48MP main sensor, 8MP Ultra-Wide, 2MP Macro and 5MP depth sensing camera is on the rear.

Again Samsung has included a 5,000mAh battery with support for 25W Super Fast Charging for a quick top up.

Moving to 4G enabled phones, Samsung will bring the Galaxy A13 4G and Galaxy A23 4G to Australia from the 1st of April for $329 and $399 respectively.

The Galaxy A13 4G and Galaxy A23 4G both include a 6.6-inch TFT V-Cut Display, with an octa-core processor, 4GB RAM and 128GB of on-board storage included in both phones.

The similarities don’t stop there, with both the A13 4G and A23 4G both including a 50MP main camera sensor, 5MP Ultra Wide, 2MP Macro and 2MP Depth sensing camera. There’s also an 8MP front-facing camera nestled into the V-Cut notch in the display.

Samsung has included a 5,000mAh battery in the Galaxy A13 and A23, just the same as the 5G models, with support for 25W Super Fast Charging also included.

The phones will be arriving in Australia next month, starting with the Galaxy A53 5G, as well as the Galaxy A13 4G and Galaxy A23 4G on the first of April, with the Galaxy A73 5G and Galaxy A53 5G arriving on April 22nd.

Samsung is offering a pre-order bonus for those interested in the Galaxy A53 5G. Those wanting to purchase outright will receive a pair of Galaxy Buds2 valued at $219 after pre-ordering, while those wanting to order through Telstra will receive a pair of Galaxy Buds Live valued at $249 – not a bad deal.

The Galaxy A-series phones have begun to be almost as hotly anticipated as their S-series siblings and we can’t wait to get our hands on them to try them out.
