Samsung’s Galaxy A53 gets its dose of Android 13
When Samsung rains OS updates, it pours. November is stacked up to be a busy month for the company and it’s already been a busy week with multiple devices getting Android 13 through a stable One UI 5 update. Up next? One ofour top budget phone picksright now, theGalaxy A53.
Our colleagues atXDA-Developersspotted a thread inSamsung’s European community forumswith A53 owners there talking about receiving the update.
It’s reported to come with the October security patches and size up at about 2.2GB. Phones receiving the update earlier this week also got the October patches. That said, as one forum commenter points out,the Galaxy Z Flip 4 received the November patches yesterdaydespite the fact it’s still officially on One UI 4. Flip 4 devices on the One UI 5 beta first received those patches in the waning days of October.
With the A53, Samsung has just brought its ninth device of the week up to date after having done the same for theGalaxy S20, Note 20, andS21 serieson Monday. In South Korea, the company is targeting20 modelsfor a stable One UI 5 release by the end of the month. Regional specifics will vary, of course, but that’s a lot of devices witha lot of new features to look forward to.

The Samsung Galaxy A53 5G is a perfectly fine mid-range phone with a great 120Hz display, but minor downgrades from the Galaxy A52 5G make it a weaker value.
