Abstract: The Samsung Galaxy A52 measures 15.6x7.3x.8cm and it weighs 189grams. The viewable screen is 15x6.7cm which gives the notional diagonal imperial measurement of close to 6½ inches. The display is 2400x1080 which is called FHD+.Going around the outside th...
Abstract: Sitting in the middle of the affordable Galaxy M series and the pricey Galaxy S series is the Samsung Galaxy A Series that of late has not been getting the sort of attention it deserves. The affordable Galaxy M series often gets hyped because of the compe...
Matte finish feels good in hand, IP67 dust and water-resistant, 90Hz high refresh rate Super AMOLED display, Long-lasting battery life
No 25W fast charging adapter in the box, Underwhelming Snapdragon 720G processor
The Samsung Galaxy A52 is overall a solid phone for its asking price however it is not without its share of concerns. For a starting price of Rs 26,499, the phone has an all-plastic build, a Snapdragon 720G processor under the hood and does not arrive wit...

Preinstalled bloatware, Spammy notifications, Average low-light camera performance
The Galaxy A52 is a good-looking smartphone and brings IP67 water and dust resistance rating to the table, which most of its competition miss out on. Sadly, apart from this, not a lot of things are in its favour. It does certain things well but the compet...
The Galaxy A52 is a good generational upgrade with lots of improvements in the design, display, and camera department. Where the phone falters is the hardware performance due to the SD720G chipset, which isn't a bad SoC, but this price-point deserves a bi...
If you look at this segment closely, you will get more choices than ever. Samsung too offers a number of fantastic smartphones in this price segment. I think the Galaxy A52 is for those who are looking to get locked into Samsung’s ecosystem but aren’t qui...
Abstract: Samsung has launched two new smartphones in the Indian market today, the Galaxy A52 and the Galaxy A72. These models were launched internationally a few days ago and have been quick to make their way here. Sadly, the much-awaited Galaxy A52 5G has not bee...
