Blackview A52 Pro Review: specs and features, camera quality test, gaming benchmark, user opinions and photos

Blackview A52 Pro - performance without functionality

A good processor is an important component for any smartphone. And representatives of the low price segment are no exceptions in this matter. However, the chipset alone is not capable of making the phone one of the commercially successful products. This did not happen in the case of the hero of today’s review.

The appearance of the new product is not particularly remarkable. Among the positive aspects, we highlight the dual camera unit and the ribbed texture of the plastic body, which improves ergonomics. But the lack of a fingerprint scanner, the outdated form factor of the 5-megapixel selfie camera and wide screen frames still do not allow us to give the exterior a high rating. The 6.5-inch IPS display is nothing surprising either. The resolution of 1600x720 pixels is standard for the price category; it is impossible to obtain impressive picture clarity with it. The brightness of 450 nits is not enough to work with the mobile assistant in direct sunlight, and there is no increased image refresh rate.

The technical characteristics can no longer be subjected to such obvious criticism. The UNISOC Tiger T606 CPU, 4GB of RAM and the Mali G57MC1 video adapter do a good job of reproducing the Android 13 interface; gamers on a limited budget will also like the combination. Thus, undemanding projects like PUGB Mobile operate at medium graphics settings, if you have a chance to evaluate the resource-intensive Genshin Impact with minimal presets. 128GB of permanent memory is allocated, so the use of MicroSD cards will not be relevant for every buyer. You don’t have to look for a power outlet every day, because a capacious 5180 mAh battery is responsible for autonomy. It’s a pity that the charging power was a modest 10W.

The main 13- and 0.3-megapixel photo modules cannot satisfy all the needs of the modern user. While it’s still easy to capture text, it’s not always possible to even create a high-quality daytime shot. The detail is low, there are many errors in color rendering, small objects turn into blurry spots. There is no stereo sound, one speaker is quiet, the bass cannot be heard. The developer also saved on NFC contactless payments. As a result, there are practically no objective reasons for buying a gadget.
