Korean giant Samsung recently embarked on rebuilding its mid-range portfolio. After cheaper A02s and A12 a middle class Galaxy A42 after a year of evolution, a more equipped sibling also survived Samsung Galaxy A51. It became the best-selling phone of 2020. And all indications are that it has just been introduced Galaxy A52 builds on his successes.
- The Galaxy A52 has the ambition to become the king of the middle class. It has great equipment and an affordable price
- we praise for the waterproof body, stereo speakers and 64Mpx camera with OIS
- in addition to the phone, you get free headphones Galaxy Buds+
Two variants are officially heading to our market – Samsung Galaxy A52 and Samsung Galaxy A52 5Gwhich visually hold a uniform line. At the outset, it should be noted that its parameters are definitely surprising and shortcomings are really hard to find.
Samsung Galaxy A52
The successor to Samsung’s most popular mid-range model has prepared quite a bit. The design refers to the top-of-the-line Galaxy S range with camera layout and color combinations, but still retains its distinctive character. Matt plastic is definitely welcome, as are subtle color variants. Standard black and white are complemented by light blue and purple.
The dominant feature of the front is the 6.5 ″ Super AMOLED Infinity-O display with Full HD + resolution (1080 x 2400 px), brightness of 800 nits (increase compared to its predecessor by up to 33%), SGS Eye Care certification with guaranteed reduction of blue light and Gorilla Glass 5.
A significant novelty is the 90Hz refresh rate with Seamless technology, which has a shorter response in the case of the Super AMOLED display compared to the same counterpart with the LCD display. In practice, a 90Hz Super AMOLED can be equal to a 120Hz LCD display.

Under the hood is an eight-core Snapdragon 720G processor complete with Adreno graphics, 6/8 GB RAM and 128/256 GB internal memory with the possibility of expansion with microSD cards up to 1 TB. In terms of performance, this set should reach an estimated 280,000 points in the AnTuT benchmark, which is enough performance even for playing undemanding games. The choice of Snapdragon is interesting, but not surprising – the Exynos 9611, which is the equivalent of Samsung, achieves lower performance.
We can’t miss the camera either. The main got a resolution of 64 Mpx and optical stabilization. It is complemented by a 12Mpx wide-angle lens and a portrait / macro pair, both identical to 5Mpx. On the front we find a 32Mpx selfie camera.
The cameras do not lack tetra binding technology, which combines adjacent pixels for greater sensitivity to light, or night mode, which combines 12 images into one. Videos can be shot in 4K and you can save your favorite moments directly from the video as 8Mpx photos. The Scene Optimizer uses artificial intelligence and recognizes up to 30 types of scenes.
For enthusiasts, a professional mode with manual ISO, time, focus or white balance settings is then available. When shooting in low light conditions, you will use Night mode, which takes several photos with different exposures and then combines the result into the final image.
Operating system Android 11 complements the successful One UI 3 user superstructure. In addition to a debugged environment, it also brings the Samsung Knox security solution. This security works at the hardware level, isolates and encrypts personal data, or continuously monitors system behavior. Extended support will also be pleased, with the Galaxy A52 and Galaxy A52 5G receiving security updates for at least 4 years.
A useful feature is Music Share, which ensures convenient music sharing between users of Samsung Galaxy smartphones. Music Share includes sharing music without having to pair a wireless speaker or play music from a single source on two pairs of headphones Samsung Galaxy Buds Pro.

The physical dimensions of the phone are 159.9 x 75.1 x 8.4 mm and the weight is 189 grams. The body is covered with the degree of resistance IP67, which is a shortage of goods in the middle class. The icing on the cake is the presence of Dolby Atmos-certified stereo speakers and rich sound delivery. Compared to the previous generation, the performance of the speakers is increased by 43 percent.
Don’t miss – Samsung Galaxy A72: the most equipped “A” is not the most advantageous
Samsung has integrated the fingerprint reader directly into the display panel. The battery has a capacity of 4,500 mAh and can be charged with a power of 25W; the manufacturer promises up to two days of endurance. This is aided by an adaptive mode that analyzes the user’s behavior and activates energy savings if necessary. We found out what it’s like with the charger that came next Galaxy S21 it is missing, however you will find it in the package here (also for the 5G version).
Samsung Galaxy A52 5G
Although it may seem that the difference compared to the LTE variant is only in the name and support of 5G networks, the opposite is true. The Samsung Galaxy A52 5G already differs in the display, which supports a 120Hz refresh rate. Thanks to Seamless Pro technology, the Super AMOLED display matches the response of the LCD panel with a refresh rate of 144 Hz. This will certainly be appreciated especially by players.
Furthermore, inside we will find an eight-core Snapdragon 750G processor and we will have only one memory variant to choose from with 6 GB of RAM and 128 GB of internal memory. Performance should be higher than the LTE version, with an estimated 330,000 points in the AnTuT benchmark. The Samsung Galaxy A52 5G can be described as the most equipped of the newly introduced trefoil and, thanks to the support of fifth-generation networks, it also withstands the best of time.
