Huge bang for your buck

The basic mission of the engineers was to offer the perfect blend of fresh and innovative technologies, giving prospective buyers the most bang for their buck. That's right Samsung Galaxy A52 5G built around a 16.5 cm AMOLED screen that refreshes with up to 90 Hz and can handle a resolution of 2400 x 1080px. The latter has an excellent color and offers a luminosity above 750 nits, and the fingerprint scanner is hidden under it. It's a great screen for a phone in this price range, bridging the gap between the 120Hz OLED screens on Samsung's premium Galaxy S smartphones and the less colorful and cheaper LCD panels you usually see on mid-range devices. If we dwell a bit on the exterior of the phone, you will notice three standard buttons on its right - two for sound, one for power, and on the bottom side is a headphone jack. The latter is something that is definitely missing from the "best" phones and is still an extremely useful feature of the phone. Connecting classic headphones is a special kind of pleasure. What the best lack is definitely a micro SD slot for memory expansion (it is shared with a SIM card), which the newcomer has and thus offers more than average in another segment. The stereo sound is also pleasing, with which they followed the needs of users for an excellent soundscape when watching movies and other multimedia content. Galaxy A52 5G interacts with the processor Snapdragon 720G, 6 GB of RAM and 128 GB of basic memory and is thus well equipped for almost all work tasks, including gaming. Since it is intended for active and dynamic users, there is no shortage of waterproofing standards IP67, which ensures that the phone can be submerged to the max 1 meter deep fresh water for maximum 30 minutes. However, it should be noted that it is not recommended to use the device on the beach, by the pool or in the soapy water. If liquid containing sugar is spilled on it, rinse it in clean, standing water and not under the tap or shower, as high water pressure can damage the device.

As resistance is an important factor, the front of the screen is protected by Gorilla Glass 5 technology, which ensures good durability without protection. It is also highly resistant to "fast" consumption 4500 mAh battery, which users can quickly fill with 25W. This means that the battery will be fully charged in just 30 minutes. Galaxy A52 supports 5G data transfer and is thus ready for an ever-faster future!

Photo leap

Compared to previous generations, the biggest progress Galaxy A52 5G shows right in the photo skills. So A52 5G offers a set of cameras from 64-MP main camera, 12-MP ultra-wide, 5-MP macro camera and 5-MP depth sensor. On the front, there is a 32-MP selfie camera. The cameras are capable of capturing video 4K/30fps, which is becoming increasingly important, especially for creators on social networks such as Instagram and TikTok. Likewise, "programs" and artificial intelligence in photography bring extremely similar feelings to the smartphone series Galaxy S smartphones. It also comes with the so-called night mode, with which it captures photos perfectly even in low light conditions. It deserves a very high rating for photography, and in its price range it is definitely at the top.

Samsung is in the new one Galaxy A52 5G gave in fact everything you can expect from a value phone up to 500 euros. The design is timeless, minimalist and playful with a palette of colors that is such that everyone will find the right one for themselves.

The photography is at a top level, where you won't miss anything. If we add to that the excellent handling of the battery, the beautiful colors it can handle FHD+ Great OLED screen, becomes Samsung Galaxy A52 5G the smartphone that will once again be the most desirable of all.
