Samsung Galaxy A52 5G Review: specs and features, camera quality test, gaming benchmark, user opinions and photos

Samsung Galaxy A52 5G - a ruined bestseller?

The mid-price segment of 5G smartphones has become one of the most popular and fastest growing this year. The release of a successful phone in this price range promises the manufacturer a good profit, but a sophisticated audience wants to see a technological, beautiful and functional device even for that kind of money. In pursuit of achieving such a result, the Korean company Samsung, unfortunately, forgot about the cost of the hero of today's review and, as a result, its final price tag.

The appearance of the novelty is very attractive due to a number of factors at once. The unusual and memorable four-camera unit is perfectly combined with the original texture of the rear panel, metal edging, bezelless display with a 32-megapixel selfie camera and a fingerprint sensor. Only the plastic of the case can darken the impression of the exterior, instead of which we would like to see tempered glass. The 6.5-inch AMOLED screen is good in terms of picture resolution ( 2400 x 1080 pixels), brightness and contrast, increased image refresh rate of 120 hertz . But the AMOLED display is not deprived of disadvantages either. So, there is no DC Dimming technology, directed against the PWM effect, which is harmful to the eyes.

The technical specifications do not impress with performance, but they provide a competent balance between the smooth operation of games at high graphics settings and energy efficiency. The Qualcomm Snapdragon 750G processor , 6GB / 8GB of RAM and the Adreno 619 graphics accelerator with a capacious 5000mAh battery will make possible about 10 hours of active screen time. Internal storage is also an important parameter for the modern Android user. 128GB / 256GB of ROM, coupled with a slot for MicroSD cards, are unlikely to upset the buyer.

The main 64-, 12- and 5-megapixel (pair) cameras do not surprise with photographic capabilities. There is no optical stabilization, as well as a telephoto lens, the quality of the optics is not flagship. As a result, it is possible to count on detailed photographs with realistic color reproduction and without noise only during the day. But the list of advantages has been replenished with contactless NFC payments , protection against dust and moisture according to IP68 and Android 11. However, the previously mentioned disadvantages, combined with a not particularly humane price, significantly reduce the attractiveness of a worthy gadget. We still cannot recommend it for purchase.
