Barely a week after Apple unveiled its first budget 5G smartphone, Samsung announced a competing model that rivals it on price.
At a brief virtual event on Thursday, Samsung showed off its new Galaxy A53 5G smartphone, which packs much of its higher-end flagship line into a more budget-friendly device. The Galaxy A53 comes with a new quad-camera system, a powerful processor, a sleek design and 5G capabilities.

Now he’s the odd man out.
