Samsung Galaxy A52 5G Review: Bang for your buck | Trusted Reviews

The latest entrant to the A series is the Samsung Galaxy A52 5G and it takes a lot of inspiration from the Galaxy S21.

Great screen;Long battery life;Years of support, OIS is welcome

Design is a bit basic;Secondary cameras aren’t good

Samsung Galaxy A52 5G review

Samsung's latest Galaxy A-series phone offers a lot of basics, and that may be enough for most people.

Solidly built A good display Decent battery life

Mediocre power Extra cameras are only okay Lacks exciting features

The Samsung Galaxy A52 5G isn’t going to blow you away with top-end specs or a remarkably affordable price, but it’s still a solid choice for a mid-range handset that can compete with the likes of the Google Pixel 4a. It’s a difficult phone to love,...

Samsung Galaxy A52 5G review: perfect for point-and-shoot photography

The Samsung Galaxy A52 5G is a mid-range phone with some high-end features

5G support ; 120Hz FHD+ display ; 64MP main camera is excellent

Thick design ; 10x digital zoom is very grainy ; Slower than expensive handsets

The Samsung Galaxy A52 5G is an Android handset with an excellent main camera, it has a large display with a 120Hz refresh rate, water-resistance and a long-lasting 4,500mAh battery. Granted its performance won’t blow you away but you get what you pay...

Hands on: Samsung Galaxy A52 5G review

Samsung's latest Galaxy A-series phone looks like an exciting alternative to the Google Pixel 4a.

Cheap for a 5G phone 120Hz refresh rate

Doesn't feel premium Thick bezels

The Samsung Galaxy A52 5G brings a variety of top-end features you'd normally expect to be included on flagship phones to its cheaper variant including 5G connectivity and an improved screen technology. This may be one to watch if you're after a...

Samsung Galaxy A52 5G review: Mid-range marvel

A competitive affordable device with plenty to get excited about. So should you buy an A series to save hundreds over an S series flagship?

Great display ; Plenty of power ; IP76 dust/waterproofing ; 3.5mm headphone socket and microSD expansion ; Refined software

No HDR (high dynamic range) for the display ; Spurge of camera lenses a little oversold - the macro and depth sensors of little use

An excellent mid-range phone, packed with a great display, plenty of power, and waterproofing to help it stand out from the crowd. Running Samsung's latest software, it's an affordable way to get the latest Samsung experience with little major compromise.

Galaxy A52 5G review: Samsung's best budget phone with flagship features

Samsung's new 5G smartphone balances smart compromises with quality features to keep its low price of $500.

120Hz high refresh-rate display ; Good battery life on 5G ; Wonderful software upgrade support ; Simple, clean, unified design ; Good main camera with OIS

Fingerprint sensor is too low on screen ; Macro camera is mediocre ; Duplicate apps ; 4K video recording lacks stabilization

Samsung Galaxy A52 5G review

Samsung's latest mid-ranger offers reassuring solidity at almost every turn and a display that dazzles but lacks the value for money of its rivals

Excellent 120Hz AMOLED display ; Decent camera with OIS ; IP67 rating

Weak performance for the money ; Unreliable fingerprint sensor ; Uninspiring plastic design

The Galaxy A52 5G sweats on the details, with a fine 120Hz AMOLED display, an IP67-rated body, a competent OIS-laden camera and the promise of four years of security updates. There’s better value to be had, however, if not quite the same sense of...

Samsung Galaxy A52 5G review: Agreeable affordability

With 5G connectivity, a 120Hz display and solid performance, the Galaxy A52 5G is Samsung's best-value smartphone yet

Almost half the price of Galaxy S21 ; Excellent 120Hz display ; Huge performance uplift

Slightly cheap design ; Chunky bezels

This, among other things, is one of the reasons why the A52 5G might actually be a more well-informed pick. The Pixel 4a , as much as it’s an astonishing mid-range handset in a bunch of areas, isn’t quite as versatile in the camera department. Don’t...

Samsung Galaxy A52 5G review: The most affordable waterproof 5G phone yet

The Galaxy A52 5G even has an OIS stabilised main camera, 120Hz AMOLED screen, 25W fast charging (with a charging adapter), expandable storage, a 3.5mm audio jack and even FM radio -- do you need anything more from a sub S$550 phone?

Waterand dust resistant build ; OIS in main camera ; 120Hz FHD+ AMOLED screen ; Reliable in-display fingerprint sensor ; Expandable storage ; 25W fast charging with charger supplied ; 3.5mm audio jack and FM radio ; 5G network support ; Excellent...

Haptic feedback can be better

Samsung Galaxy A52 5G review

The Samsung Galaxy A52 5G is a killer mid-range handset that shows Samsung can compete in this segment of the market just as well as at the top end.

Excellent 120Hz screen ; Good quad-lens camera ; Great value

No wireless charging ; Plastic back ; No telephoto camera

The Samsung Galaxy A52 5G is an exceptional handset, and what few faults it has are barely faults at all for what it costs. If you want a great all-rounder that won't cost a fortune then it's well worth considering.
