Did you know that April 10 is Siblings Day? Celebrating the love between siblings, this day also happens to be a lesser-known occasion to mark our bonds with loved ones.

In today's digital world, devices like smartphones are the key to opening up virtual windows that connect people across different spaces and strengthen the bonds that tie us – including those we share with our siblings.

This year, make Siblings Day extra special with the new Galaxy A53 5G and A33 5G, which let you enjoy many of Samsung’s most impactful mobile innovations without breaking the bank.

Read on for some ideas on how the latest Galaxy A Series can help strengthen connections, both physical and digital, between you and your siblings.

If you haven’t had one-on-one time with your siblings lately, why not plan a meal at your favourite restaurant, or visit an old childhood haunt like the arcade and relive some of your best showdowns. Capture these precious moments in pristine quality with the advanced quad-camera system on the A53 5G, which includes the 64MP OIS Camera with VDIS technology that takes crisp and steady shots every time, and a high-resolution 32MP front camera for great selfies. The A33 5G also features a quad-camera system with a 48MP OIS main camera, as well as a 13MP front camera.

There’s no need to worry about fuzzy photos or videos in low-light conditions either. The Galaxy A series’ improved Night mode makes photos taken under dim lighting look brighter with less noise, and automatically adjusts video framerate for clear and vibrant videos even at night.

The Galaxy A series also comes with 128GB or 256GB of internal storage, which can be expanded to 1TB via a microSD, so you won’t run out of space while saving treasured memories on the phone.

While we may not be able to spend time with our siblings every day, shared digital experiences can go a long way to maintain familiar bonds.

The expansive 6.5-inch¹ Super AMOLED display on the A53 5G with a 120Hz refresh rate, and the 6.4-inch² Super AMOLED display with a 90Hz refresh rate on the A33 5G, both give you an immersive viewing experience – all the better to watch TikTok videos that you share with each other.

If gaming is your preferred way to hang out online, the Galaxy A series is also equipped with a 5nm Octa-core processor, 6GB or 8GB of RAM, battery life that lasts up to two-days³, and 25W Super-Fast Charging⁴, so you can enjoy top gaming performance without any lag when you go head-to-head on Clash Royale or PUBG Mobile.

It’s nice to be able to reach out to your nearest and dearest whenever you’re thinking of them. The A53 5G and A33 5G are both 5G-enabled, letting you get in touch quickly with one another, no matter how far apart you are.

Sharing private and personal information is also a breeze. The Galaxy A series comes with the Private Share⁵ app that lets you securely share and keep files within the family, while also giving you the flexibility to control who can access these files and for how long.

Loving these features? You will also be pleased to know that these phones are built to last. The A53 5G and A33 5G come with the tough Corning^® Gorilla ^® Glass 5 and are also rated IP67⁶ for water and dust-resistance. Additionally, both devices guarantee up to four generations of Android OS upgrades, and up to five years of security updates, allowing a peace of mind for those looking for durability and to maximize their smartphone’s lifecycle.

Even if you and your family have matching phones, there’s no limit to the amount of personalisation available with the A53 5G and A33 5G.

Both models are available in a variety of colours for you and your siblings to express your unique and individual personalities: Awesome Black, Awesome White, Awesome Blue, Awesome Peach and Awesome Mint (Only available in A73 5G).

If you’re up for some good old sibling rivalry, here’s a fun idea to see who’s the better dresser: Take a mirror selfie with your Galaxy A series devices to show off your matching outfits and smartphones. Dress in the colour scheme of your phones for a cohesive look and share your pictures on social media or in your family group chats for a vote to see who wore it best.
