Imagine if they make their flagship models has the same features of the A series, bigger battery, a headphone jack and a expandable storage. People will get excited.
I will never, ever, ever buy a phone without expandable storage. Ever. And a headphone jack is almost a deal-breaker too. I'm only now having to replace my current Galaxy S5 which has kept going for 7+ years, practically anything would be a huge upgrade for me. I sure AF don't care about the slight difference in chip speed or cameras between this and the flagships, *especially* not for double the cost.
The reason i subscribe to yaur chanel is you are willing to see the non flagship Smartphones. Other youtuber ore mostly blinded by the glorious S21 Ultra which is right on their own, but you *acknowledge* the mid ranger the most people will end up buying. I applaud you and thank you for this.

@@daveramn2267 lol no. I gave my A50 to my sister and it's updated compared to any midrange from other brands. I never experienced it lagging or slowing down until i used 90hz on my a72.

Got an awesome blue 8gb 168gb variant. It's excellent. What a joy to use! This review is spot on with the cameras as well but here's something worth mentioning: Pro mode and Pro video. Use it. Night time on a tripod or stand, play with shutter speed and iso settings and take some great astrophotography with it. Excellent device
Dude, thanks for the review. Since I am reviewer as well and really liked your RGB backlight, I checked the description of the video, however the links provided get me only to Amazon, not to the specific product. Could you tell me the model ? Keep up the good work!

i've been using this phone (the 5g variant with a 120hz refresh rate and 6gb ram) for a few months and i have to say it's the best phone i've owned to this day, especially for the price. samsung really know how to make well-rounded devices. can't wait for this to get android 12!
@@Neehalmahfuz they're the same, but different in a couple of ways. doesn't have an always on display, lacks hdr but has a slightly improved cpu. I'd say it's still a pretty good buy!
Watching this on an A52. I can afford a flagship but this works well enough for me. The mid level phones are now same quality as high end. You're paying mostly for name and a sleeker design. And just a couple other features if you spend $400 more. Worth it? No.
Awesome Review! Yes you`re right, the BackGround blurr effect is very good and creates a TrueBokeh effect normally found on expensive cameras that have a TrueDepthSensor allowing for a ProMode photography experience. Just received my A52 5G NorhAmerican model and to my delight it comes w 25Watt fast charger! Galaxy A52 5 G a truly Awesome phone indeed:)
Nice review, though you forgot to mention that the 64mp sensor is the same one used in the Note 20 5g, and S20 FE series. It's a friggin flagship sensor in a mid range phone.
I just got the 5g version it's cracked the camera is better, speakers are better, refresh rate is better. I have the Note 10 and I was surprised a phone for this price could beat a couple-year-old flagship. I would 100% recommend it.
My mother ordered the 5G version for me and it's coming at the end of the month, can't wait to finally trash my Galaxy J3 Emerge Edit: My phone's taking a bit longer than expected to come, so I won't be able to share what I think about it yet.
@@Rican856 Nice....are you comfortable in sharing why u felt the need to buy another android phone in the same range....sorry to bother you but I am planning on upcoming pixel 5a/6
Nice job on the review ...You compared it to the S 21 many times it would be cool if you just put them next to each other so we could see the size difference and so that’s the one thing I would’ve done that’s different but besides that a really good job
That's pretty trippy when you're watching a video on a phone you want, and the photo part has photos and videos of the city/town you live in! I'm currently eating fries from the Jack-in-the-Box on 1st and River lol.
Hey Paul I like to share a comment about 4:30 the micro lens is actually quite desirable for work related pictures for engineers (like taking pictures of circuit boards printed information). I work in IT, and I very often use my phone as a tool to take pictures of barcodes or pictures of small technical info that can be found on the back of most hardware, yes I can use the regular lens but the focusing time is a hassle, with micro lens you don't have an issue focusing VERY close to small text, Micro is more of a working lens and is a desirable feature for some.
The finger print sensor is different in S21 and A52 S21 has ultrasonic finger print sensor which more secure whereas A52 has optical finger print sensor which isn't as secure as what you get in S21.
So here's the big question. Do you want to wait for the Galaxy S21 FE, or just buy the Galaxy A52 instead if you want to upgrade to a new phone immediately? Only two things that are similar between the S21 FE and A52: 1. hybrid slot, no dedicated microSD slot 2. 256GB of storage memory I am a user of the Galaxy A71. Just saying.
Midrange phones between $200 and $400 meet the needs of most users. Flagship phones are not necessary. The midrange phones of today have the same picture quality as older flagship phones
I love my A52 but I wish it had 40W fast charging and wireless charging. I love the 25W charging but my friend showed me his 40W charging speed and it is a bit faster than mine. I did pay $400 for the 5G model, so I payed about a 3rd of the cost he paid for his Note 10 plus. I don't see much speed or screen quality differences, so I am happy with that. I don't care that much about camera stuff but I still want to take pictures and the A52 is good enough. Yeah I wish it was a little longer zoom and a bit better quality but it's better than any phone I had in the past, camera wise. I have a great camera for dedicated pictures, so I doubt any phone camera would beat my dedicated camera. I bought the phone because it had everything I needed but it was the right price and it was a plus to get a SD card slot and headphone jack. The charger was in the box as well. I have the stock 15w in my bedroom, for night charging and my 25w charger that I just got on black Friday, for when I have to go out but I need a quick few minutes to charge my phone. That's why I wish it had 40W or more but I don't need a battery bank as much since I bought the A52, so I am happy about that. I will probably need it in a few months, when the battery wears in though. I wish the phone also had 8 gigs of ram and the snap dragon 888 but with everything I wish it had, I wouldn't be able to afford it. I am happy it has a plastic back though cause I don't break screens, besides 1 screen that got ran over and the entire phone broke but I have cracked 3 backs of phones and 2 had cases. Plastic backs I don't have that issue with. My S7 was 1 of my backs I broke. That back broke completely apart.
A52 is half the price of S21, but neither A52 nor S21 are worth for the money the shops and a producer want for them... smartphones are not so revolutionary, we might even say that the quality decreased and some features are now missing in the flagships as well and we're ought to pay 2.5-3x more that just 3 years ago? this is madness!
😑 Yeah how I feel. I was good with my S8 lol it's been great until they started messing with with towers for the tmobile home internet. Now my phone losses signal in certain areas. I switched to a new 5g phone and those spots where my S8 lost signal the 5G goes down to 4G. Smh
Y'know, I just watched this to get more familiar with the phone. Just bought it for around 310$ (the 4G version), brand new. Making a jump to this from an S8 and am honestly quite excited.
@@AyeshaKhan-kq7tz oh dont worry i even have the a21s its like a flagship with the front camera as an infity o on top left and a big screen with 5000 mah this phone is super fast and really awesome , a52 should be even better but i like the big screen and front camera of course the camera is really good too. So dont worry
Clean and neat video. Good job. Now talking about the phone. I bought the 5g series couple weeks ago. Casual user with more into productivity. Personally, what I like the most is the design. Consider my handling that quite small. The screen without a doubt one of the best out there for non flagship phone. Camera is decent. As describe by him. I never like the 'retouch' software from samsung by the way. Make a face photo too smooth to be true. Never want to test for water (poor people here). With a battery solid at least 30 h standby with casual purpose and sometimes use for tethering job. I don't think the refresh rate can be downgraded up to 60 Hz on 5g series even thought I have set up my screen rate lower. I still feel the 'buttery' operation which not happened on 60 Hz. I assume it still 90 Hz. Nonetheless, it is a good phone for who is looking for daily uses as college student or beginner level of professional I would say.
I just got the A52 5G last week, switched from iPhone 12 mini and so far I'm enjoying it thoroughly. Only complaint so far is that I cannot find a lot of cases in stores, so I recommend getting one online before you have one arrive or go pick it up.
both the 4g and 5g version have 8GB RAM variation of the phone. As well as no wireless charging, you also miss out on the NFC features. Just a couple of things missed!
This guy when said we dont get to see the charger and cable included in the box anymore, I felt bad for western countries where samsung and apple are selling top end devices and snatching away extra cash.
Eh, I think it's a non-issue. Most people have the chargers they need laying around, so why create more junk people don't need? It's wasteful. Also, if you can afford a $1000+ phone, paying $15 for a charger will be no big deal, especially since they can re-use that charger for their next phone and any other devices they have around.
I just got this 4g model yesterday, was not planning to buy one at all, as I am very happy with my Huawei p30 pro. Then I was just scrolling through fb and stuble across one for what equals to 187$, used for a month.
Bought it today for 300 €. I am not sure, if it is worth, considering that I have Honor 10 now and it is working very good. Maybe I should have waited 1 more year.
I have an A52 5G phone which I am delighted with and impressed with the Battery life too. However SAMSUNG, you let the SAMSUNG Team down by supplying a pathetically short charging wire with the phone. Hope this is "lesson-learned" for the future.
@@football82stars52 I like the phone smooth to use .can be a bit iffy when it come to using the duel sim .camera quality is good . No real complaints. Good review aswell .
Still okay to show the difference I think. People might be very interested in seeing the difference as they consider buying the cheaper one and wanna see what they lose out on in comparison to the flagship ones. So, well done Paul 👌🏼
Thinking of getting this one and finally replace my A5 2017. My storage space is running out. On top of my history with dropping phone into water and dropping them. This seems like a good choice.
I'm on the hunt for a new phone. In your honest and expert opinion which phone has the the most flexible and versatile cameras system with the overall better quality, more natural photos and videos for the front & rear cameras: the OnePlus Nord or the A52 5G?
Awesome review, thank you! I am trying to see if the group texting issue is due to Metro PCS or the A52 & the "free" A025. I didn't have this issue on my old Galaxy with AT&T.
A really great review !!!! Thank you ..I'm torn between A32 A52 (due to my finances) . Is it worth the extra €€€€€ . Also I need to be able to insert 2 x SIM cards plus an SD card. Do these have dual SIM?? 🙏🙏🙏❤❤
A52: does it have the O2 and pulse sensor that previous phones had. My Samsung Health will NOT check my O2 or pulse from the phone, it wants my watch. I have health issues and sometimes an not wearing my watch when I need to do a quick check. Thoughts, tips, help?? Great review. I'd say it's at least comparable to my S9+ which no longer will be getting system updates to future Android builds. The specs were also fairly comparable to flagship phones but at half the cost...as you said some minor changes such as the chipset, but nothing that is a deal breaker.
for me I was going to choose the S22 ultra BUT then I found out they took out the expandable storage and headphone jack😯I been using the Note since the Note 2 and I was not happy they took the name away but to leave out these other functions is making Samsung be like Apple😐 i wanted the S20 Ultra since had expandable storage but was too late to get it..so I saw the A52 and liked was waterproof, expandable storage and headphone jack..time went by and saw S20 Ulrra out again as refurbished but saw it was not waterproof ..went down to best buy to ask why..he said once its refurbished the phone seal not will not be the same..so I got the A52 and love it except not got S-pen
Just bought this and am static. The only thing I didn't like was t-mobile charging me $30 for upgrade. Sadly I was sold out everywhere else including best buy
so one issue I have encountered in the past with Samsung sub-flagships is decreased bluetooth quality with wireless earbuds. Has anyone else experienced this?
It is like reviewing the A32 but also the A52 has developer option like any other phone and a feature available in the developer option is sRGB which mean that it make the colors appear way better.
@@waqaswains1985 if you wanna keep your phone for more than 2 years. Then yeah its a big reason to go with an a52 since you get 4 years of software support
Watching this, it would have helped if you had compared the photo’s taken with another of the same price. As the a52, rather than the twice range the iphone 12 has. BTW. I am planning to use the a52 as my work phone , and just bought 14 days ago the iphone 12 pro max and use it as my private phone. And you keep mentioning the s21, but that is slso a flagship phone, while this a52 is a midrange. One.

Only two things that are similar between the S21 FE and A52:

Midrange phones between $200 and $400 meet the needs of most users. Flagship phones are not necessary. The midrange phones of today have the same picture quality as older flagship phones

I have the stock 15w in my bedroom, for night charging and my 25w charger that I just got on black Friday, for when I have to go out but I need a quick few minutes to charge my phone. That's why I wish it had 40W or more but I don't need a battery bank as much since I bought the A52, so I am happy about that. I will probably need it in a few months, when the battery wears in though. I wish the phone also had 8 gigs of ram and the snap dragon 888 but with everything I wish it had, I wouldn't be able to afford it. I am happy it has a plastic back though cause I don't break screens, besides 1 screen that got ran over and the entire phone broke but I have cracked 3 backs of phones and 2 had cases. Plastic backs I don't have that issue with. My S7 was 1 of my backs I broke. That back broke completely apart.
A52 is half the price of S21, but neither A52 nor S21 are worth for the money the shops and a producer want for them... smartphones are not so revolutionary, we might even say that the quality decreased and some features are now missing in the flagships as well and we're ought to pay 2.5-3x more that just 3 years ago? this is madness!
😑 Yeah how I feel. I was good with my S8 lol it's been great until they started messing with with towers for the tmobile home internet. Now my phone losses signal in certain areas. I switched to a new 5g phone and those spots where my S8 lost signal the 5G goes down to 4G. Smh
So detailed! I really appreciate the lengths you went to show us the different features and their comparisons. New subscriber here :)
Thank you for the kind words, Samantha!
@@PaulBradfordTech Thank YOU for doing the review! It influenced my decision to purchase the phone yesterday and so far I've been loving it!😁
Y'know, I just watched this to get more familiar with the phone. Just bought it for around 310$ (the 4G version), brand new.
Making a jump to this from an S8 and am honestly quite excited.
has there been any issues ? I've been thinking of buying one but I've been also hearing there are issues with the phone..
Currently have an S8 and am thinking of getting an A52 but worried that it won't be able to match up to the flagship experience.
@@AyeshaKhan-kq7tz oh dont worry i even have the a21s its like a flagship with the front camera as an infity o on top left and a big screen with 5000 mah this phone is super fast and really awesome , a52 should be even better but i like the big screen and front camera of course the camera is really good too. So dont worry
@@Elis03 oh that is great..thank you!
@@AyeshaKhan-kq7tz I know I'm 7 months late but how is the experience? Did you get the phone? Since I'm also making the jump from the S8
Sick review bro nice lighting and studio,I'm taking tips also love the camera test outside 👌
Clean and neat video. Good job.
Now talking about the phone.
I bought the 5g series couple weeks ago.
Casual user with more into productivity. Personally, what I like the most is the design. Consider my handling that quite small. The screen without a doubt one of the best out there for non flagship phone. Camera is decent. As describe by him. I never like the 'retouch' software from samsung by the way. Make a face photo too smooth to be true. Never want to test for water (poor people here). With a battery solid at least 30 h standby with casual purpose and sometimes use for tethering job. I don't think the refresh rate can be downgraded up to 60 Hz on 5g series even thought I have set up my screen rate lower. I still feel the 'buttery' operation which not happened on 60 Hz. I assume it still 90 Hz. Nonetheless, it is a good phone for who is looking for daily uses as college student or beginner level of professional I would say.
0:55 "Even larger than the S21" Holds up an iPhone 🤦
Why are front camera quality on phones so bad?
I just got the A52 5G last week, switched from iPhone 12 mini and so far I'm enjoying it thoroughly. Only complaint so far is that I cannot find a lot of cases in stores, so I recommend getting one online before you have one arrive or go pick it up.
Switched from IPhone 12 mini!!! Was it not good?? 😳
I think this is a best video for A52
Stop comparing it to flagships, compare it to another midranger instead or its predecessor which is the A51.
But for oddballs like me, I’m debating the A52 and iPhone 12 mini. Price vs features vs what I need, and all that
both the 4g and 5g version have 8GB RAM variation of the phone. As well as no wireless charging, you also miss out on the NFC features. Just a couple of things missed!
If the camera is the only thing I care about, is it worth to spend a bit more for A72 instead this A52?
I ended up buying an openbox Samsung S20 FE on eBay for $477. I think the extra $150 spent will pay off in the long run.
It will
What a great review. It's easy to follow and I gain more understanding about the phone. Thanks!
Glad it was helpful, thanks for watching!
This guy when said we dont get to see the charger and cable included in the box anymore, I felt bad for western countries where samsung and apple are selling top end devices and snatching away extra cash.
Eh, I think it's a non-issue. Most people have the chargers they need laying around, so why create more junk people don't need? It's wasteful. Also, if you can afford a $1000+ phone, paying $15 for a charger will be no big deal, especially since they can re-use that charger for their next phone and any other devices they have around.
Great review. Waitlisted for the 5G model (I'm in a really saturated 5G area, so it makes sense for me).
rip+
I just got this 4g model yesterday, was not planning to buy one at all, as I am very happy with my Huawei p30 pro. Then I was just scrolling through fb and stuble across one for what equals to 187$, used for a month.
great review, but you gotta stop comparing midrangers with flagships. it doesnt make sense.
I've been using my a52s 5g for 2 months and I'm pretty much satisfied with it's performance.
it's been months and i still want the A52 lmao im gonna be saving up for ittt
Bought it today for 300 €. I am not sure, if it is worth, considering that I have Honor 10 now and it is working very good. Maybe I should have waited 1 more year.
omg I had honor 9 and I bought the a52 today
I have an A52 5G phone which I am delighted with and impressed with the Battery life too. However SAMSUNG, you let the SAMSUNG Team down by supplying a pathetically short charging wire with the phone. Hope this is "lesson-learned" for the future.
Just ordered the A52 5g looking forward to Tuesday. Nice review 👌
hi bro.its a month after your comment😂 please say me your opinion about a52
@@football82stars52 I like the phone smooth to use .can be a bit iffy when it come to using the duel sim .camera quality is good . No real complaints. Good review aswell .
@@alanburn4248 thanks
Nice review. Getting one. I love the waterproof as I tend to ride in monsoon season a lot.
Bro, the video is good but keep on comparing with iPhone and S21 series is not justified as this is mid range and the other 2 are flagship phone.
Still okay to show the difference I think. People might be very interested in seeing the difference as they consider buying the cheaper one and wanna see what they lose out on in comparison to the flagship ones. So, well done Paul 👌🏼
@@TimoMM Alright then. Maybe I am wrong in this. But anyways, great job on the video.
Would like to have that phone too but I have no money these days. New subscriber here
I just bought an A51 😭 waiting for the price to go down
A51 is exynos 9611 a chipset used in 10 series m phones which easily overheat
Thinking of getting this one and finally replace my A5 2017. My storage space is running out. On top of my history with dropping phone into water and dropping them. This seems like a good choice.
I always now check for phones which have a 3.5mm Headphone Jack. It should be standard on all new phones regardless.
Great video. Quality keeps improving and videos are looking véry slick! Kudos!
Much appreciated!
@@PaulBradfordTech you're welcome :) Keep up the good work 😁👌🏼
Great review! Clear and straightforward!
This guy has the same voice as the actor from the good doctor. Had to do a double take
First time to see your channel. You are good in reviewing the phone. You covered everything about it. By the I ordered one today morning.
I'm on the hunt for a new phone. In your honest and expert opinion which phone has the the most flexible and versatile cameras system with the overall better quality, more natural photos and videos for the front & rear cameras: the OnePlus Nord or the A52 5G?
i love this, after i adquire mine i didn't know that was water proof neither the other cameras function, like wow thank u so much.
How is the video stabilization? For example, if I'm creating video while walking?
you deserve so much more! i loved your review please keep this great job
Great video man! Keep up the good work👍
Thanks for the support!
Awesome review, thank you! I am trying to see if the group texting issue is due to Metro PCS or the A52 & the "free" A025. I didn't have this issue on my old Galaxy with AT&T.
A really great review !!!! Thank you ..I'm torn between A32 A52 (due to my finances) . Is it worth the extra €€€€€ .
Also I need to be able to insert 2 x SIM cards plus an SD card. Do these have dual SIM??
🙏🙏🙏❤❤
A52: does it have the O2 and pulse sensor that previous phones had. My Samsung Health will NOT check my O2 or pulse from the phone, it wants my watch. I have health issues and sometimes an not wearing my watch when I need to do a quick check. Thoughts, tips, help??
Great review. I'd say it's at least comparable to my S9+ which no longer will be getting system updates to future Android builds. The specs were also fairly comparable to flagship phones but at half the cost...as you said some minor changes such as the chipset, but nothing that is a deal breaker.
for me I was going to choose the S22 ultra BUT then I found out they took out the expandable storage and headphone jack😯I been using the Note since the Note 2 and I was not happy they took the name away but to leave out these other functions is making Samsung be like Apple😐 i wanted the S20 Ultra since had expandable storage but was too late to get it..so I saw the A52 and liked was waterproof, expandable storage and headphone jack..time went by and saw S20 Ulrra out again as refurbished but saw it was not waterproof ..went down to best buy to ask why..he said once its refurbished the phone seal not will not be the same..so I got the A52 and love it except not got S-pen
The a52 pictures look way better than the ones from the iPhone. More light doesn't mean more clear.
After this, there is no way i am not buying it. You just earned a sub and notifications on
bought mine a few days ago.... seemed better overall compared to the A53 although i wish it had the same battery life as the A53
Ty for being very informative as I just bought this A52 and didn't get a lot of information from the shop... ty!
Here in the UK I got the A52s 5G with a SD 778G and free galaxy buds live for pre orders.
Great review! Do you think this phone is a good follow up for the Samsung S8?
Definitely
Still rocking my A50 from 2019. Best phone i ever heard. Will keep probably until A56 comes out🤣
Same here! I love the A50. I just bought the A52 for my mum. She had been using her S7 from 2016 prior to this
Just bought this and am static. The only thing I didn't like was t-mobile charging me $30 for upgrade. Sadly I was sold out everywhere else including best buy
Awesome video i just picked up A52 5g for my kid its alot better then i expected.
Hey I want to buy this phone and the most important aspect for me is the Selfie Camera could you please tell me if this is a good one for it?
Why dont you watch the video first before commenting? 4:31
5:13
so one issue I have encountered in the past with Samsung sub-flagships is decreased bluetooth quality with wireless earbuds.
Has anyone else experienced this?
Do galaxy a52 4g have straight radio FM?
Yes, it does.
@@FrauleinBeyza thank you boss
Yes
It is like reviewing the A32 but also the A52 has developer option like any other phone and a feature available in the developer option is sRGB which mean that it make the colors appear way better.
Bought it in my country Pakistan where it's available in 8gb 128gb configuration and a silicon case out of the box for roughly $344
Is it worth buying over redmi note 10 pro
@@waqaswains1985 if you wanna keep your phone for more than 2 years. Then yeah its a big reason to go with an a52 since you get 4 years of software support
It is not lower price anymore in our country... it costs nearly 10.000 unit and our country's minimum wage is 5.500 unit. so sad
Great review, love from Poland 😊
Siema 👍👌

A52 or A71 or F62? Which would be better regardless of the price?
great review, thanks
Where did you get that wallpaper . It looks stunning
Very thorough review. Thanks. I am looking to upgrade from the Galaxy S5
thanks a lot; found this very helpful in making a decision
Hello paul. Where to get this wallpaper?
Bought mine yesterday May 30th after 2 months research... the best purchase ever😍
I bought mine today!
Watching from my Samsung galaxy A52😁
Me too
@@danielewest8241 congrats🥳😁
Same
Same
I'm still using my A50😅
My first time seeing your videos very clear and concise thanks
Watching this, it would have helped if you had compared the photo’s taken with another of the same price. As the a52, rather than the twice range the iphone 12 has. BTW. I am planning to use the a52 as my work phone , and just bought 14 days ago the iphone 12 pro max and use it as my private phone.
And you keep mentioning the s21, but that is slso a flagship phone, while this a52 is a midrange. One.
Does the front camera have beauty option and does it give nice and soft look on skin?
No need for that
