Back of the Samsung Galaxy A53 5G

The display is made of Corning Gorilla Glass 5. The back panel and side are made of frosted plastic.

The design of the smartphone is similar to its predecessor, but as in the Samsung Galaxy A33 5G and Samsung Galaxy A73 5G, the rear panel is now completely flat, and the transition between the rear panel and the camera unit is smoother.
