The Samsung Galaxy A52 is a mid-range Android-based smartphone manufactured, developed and produced by Samsung Electronics as part of its Galaxy A series. It was announced on 17 March 2021[3][4] at the Samsung's virtual Awesome Unpacked event alongside the Galaxy A72. An upgraded variant of the 5G version, Galaxy A52s, was first released in August 2021.[5]

The phone serves as a successor of the Galaxy A51. It is similar to its predecessor but features an upgraded 64 MP main camera, a larger-capacity 4500 mAh battery, and IP67 water- and dust-resistant design.[6]

Specifications

[edit]

Design

[edit]

The Galaxy A52 has a similar design to its predecessor, the Galaxy A51. It has an Infinity-O display with a selfie camera cutout and slim bezels, just like the A51. Unlike the A51, the A52 has matte color options rather than glossy gradient finishes.[7]

The display is protected by Corning Gorilla Glass 5 while the frame and back panel are made of plastic. Both the LTE and 5G (including the 5G "s") variants share the same design and have IP67 water- and dust-resistance.

Display

[edit]

All variants feature 6.5-inch Super AMOLED display with 800 nits maximum brightness, 20:9 aspect ratio, 1080×2400 pixels resolution, 411 PPI pixel density and ~84.1% screen-body ratio; however, the display refresh rate differs on all models: the LTE variant has a 90 Hz refresh rate while the 5G/5G "s" variant have a 120 Hz refresh rate.

Cameras

[edit]

All variants feature a quad-rear camera setup with a 64 MP main camera with optical image stabilization (OIS), a 12 MP ultrawide-angle camera, a 5 MP depth camera, and a 5 MP depth sensor.[8] The camera is able to take video up to 4K@30fps, and 1080p@60fps.

Battery

[edit]

All variants have a 4500 mAh battery with 25W fast charging support; however, a 15W charger is included in the box, and users need to buy the 25W charger separately.

Processor and Memory

[edit]

The LTE variant is powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon 720G processor, the 5G variant on the other hand is powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon 750G processor.[3][4] The 5G "s" variant uses the Qualcomm Snapdragon 778G 5G processor.[5] All variants come with 6 or 8 GB of RAM and storage options come with 128 or 256 GB (all models and storage variants use UFS 2.1).[9][10][11]

Others

[edit]

The device includes a 3.5 mm Audio jack (the last A5x model to include it) and uses the top earpieces and the bottom speaker to deliver stereo sound. It also features an under-the-screen optical fingerprint scanner.

Software

[edit]

All variants ship with Android 11 and One UI 3.1, and are eligible for 3 OS upgrades and 4 years of security updates.[12][13][14]
