Yessss. Just got a pixel 6 and bummed to find out it doesn't have one or expandable memory, besides buying google storage. Definitely thinking of going back to Samsung instead. Between this and the s10 FE. I think snappier phones are necessary for gamers. I loved my s10+ and the pixel just feels like a downgrade
@@shaysdy3357 the pixel 6 and s20 FE do not have a headphone jack. Only a type C port, where you charge the phone, in which you can get an adaptor from type C to AUX
I agree, the ear jack and SD slot are the main decision why I choose the A52 over the S20. I upgraded from a Sony Xperia Z1. All before were Samsungs, and I am glad I am back.
Had one now for 3 months, switched to it after my iPhone XR unfortunately broke and I couldn't justify getting a new iPhone (and didn't wanna downgrade to an older model). Been blown away by it!

@NOTPARZ Hey! Sorry if my reply comes too late. In my experience the Screen and the Camera are the two things Samsung has prioritized with this phone and I think it absolutely makes sense. Build quality and haptics engines are two things where you really notice hat this phone is actually a mid-range smartphone but are things I can live with seeing as how the screen and the camera are performing way above my expectations given the phone's price, and Samsung have won me over definitely. However! I kinda wish that I'd gone for the Samsung Galaxy S21 since there are some overall great improvements that I think add to the overall quality of the phone. The A52 5G is amazing, but it's sort of an "uneven" phone, where some parts perform above what you'd expect them to and others below it. I personally think it's a worthwhile sacrifice but you mentioned you were looking at an iPhone and probably find yourself in a more advantageous financial situation than I did. If that is indeed the case then I'd say go for the Galaxy S21, overall higher quality feel as well as a better camera experience. Maybe not necessarily in terms of pixel count or other tangible statistics, but definitely in the coloring of the photos as well as creating depth and contrast in your photos. So if you're in need of a superb camera and you can go for the Galaxy S21 - do it. But if not - the camera on the A52 5G is definitely above serviceable and you're absolutely capable of creating some stunning shots. Hope this helps!
I purchased this phone close to its release date. A bit hesitant at first as it was my first time with the A Series. Let me be clear, you cannot go wrong with this phone. Samsung have been smart here. They have punched in to the budget market with high end features. If you decide you want a better camera, then the A72 will serve well, but you will lose other features such as the display. As said in the review, the price point is a little bit higher than others. BUT, you are getting features here that are ahead of the others. For the price, it is phenomenal. You will get a device that will keep going for the years ahead. The display is beautiful, at 120hz it is above other budget phones and on par with flagship models. The case is matte plastic. This is great for grip resistance and should the worst happen, will be cheaper to repair. Sure, previously, the glass looked great on the back of a phone, but what a pain to repair. In a difference to previous plastic backs, this time it does not feel as 'sheen' or slippy as previous plastic that has been used. The camera is capable of keeping up. This was my main point for buying. I was looking back on photos from last year and was initially looking for a new camera. I then came across this phone by chance and was given a deal on a 5G SIM only contract (in the UK, this is still an emerging technology and the deal was there to entice early adopters). I would recommend purchasing this phone outright. The current contract prices do not at this time carry enough savings. This means that you can benefit from its full 5G capabilities by changing provider if needed.
@@l-russki-l right on bro, at the time I didn't even know there was a non 5g version lol... but I actually ended up buying the a52 5g model and absolutely love it!!!
I've had this phone for 7 months now, and I'm glad I upgraded from the A51 because this is better in every single way I can think of, especially the with 12 software update... As a result, I don't see myself upgrading to the a53 (whenever it comes out) because after reading the specs and losing the headphone jack (?!) I simply don't need to, and I'm not sure if I want to shovel money for an S series phone
My question is this, who determines what is a "mid" priced phone? when these companies roll out an iphone or a samsung for $400 , they'll call it "mid" range. do they just assume that the average buyer is making $70k a year? These phones are being made with the premise that everyone can just drop hundreds on phones like it's nothing, without any consideration to real working people.
I don't know but I think it's based of the price of regular flagships which are $1500 most of the time and it's a fraction of that price so maybe that's why
You need to drop hundreds if you want a phone that doesn't drive you crazy when using it. You need at minimum around 200 for a lower midrange device. Anything lower than that and the phone is gonna drive you crazy. 450 dollars is an upper midrange smart phone which is what this is. This phone is much better than the 200 dollar phones, which are loaded with ads. This phone is also almost as good as a flagship device. It's in the middle therefore "midrange".
Especially now that the "problem" with the rather slower processor is fixed thanks to the A52s .... I couldn't find a better phone for me currently. The 778G is a powerhouse, especially at this price. No wonder since it's practically an updated 855. Awesome Display, speakers, battery life ... such a great cam for the price, headphone jack and expandable storage. On top even water and dust resistance. I used the Note 10 Plus for the past 2 years and I don't regret to "downgrade" to a mid ranger. It absolutely can hold it's own against the Note, hell even takes a few steps ahead. I still can't believe that even the cam isn't a downgrade compared to the Note

A very good phone over all. The only let down is the 4K and 1080 60fps video recording stability which is BAD. Nobody is really pointing this out to bring Samsung's attention to it and get it to fix it ASAP.
It's marketing, they disabled the EIS for 4k video so you would buy their higher end phones. It's all marketing. If you want a fast phone with everything for the same price as this a52 then go take a look at the Xiaomi mi 11 lite 5g.
@@AlexiaVon Hmmmm not sure. I'm currently testing the Xiaomi Redmi Note 10 Pro vs the Galaxy M51 which has a similar camera set up to the Mi 11 lite 5g and I'm disappointed. Having said that, it might be better optimised and perform better but I'm not buying it. Do you own it?
What's your battery percentage at right now? 🧐 (don't lie) Mine is at 55% --------------- Samsung A52 on Amazon: geni.us/KIB0ein Samsung A52 5G on Amazon: geni.us/WN6f6IV
I can't contain my excitement more now. Tried to check other models but Samsung S7 Edge stayed with me for 5years, 2days ago it went off. Am impressed of the years it lasted. Getting this unit tomorrow. Wohooo!
Watching on my a52 5g and coming from the a51 5g I gave my mom. The biggest plus is 120hrz, camera auto focus, brighter screen in sunlight and stereo speakers.
Watching this video for the first time on my a52 I just bought it this morning before even seeing this video the lady at cricket recommended it I'm honestly glad I picked it out of some other options
Excellent review. My old phone was giving me problems while I was on a long trip. I bought an A52 5G from the T-Mobile store in Daytona. I paid $504 for it without research, hoping it was a good deal. I believe it was.
I ended up getting this phone just a few weeks ago. I do miss the physical home button sometimes, but I love the phone overall. Fast and snappy, pretty good camera, solid SoC, and just shy of being too large. I got the 4G 6GB version for €280 (about $310 at the time), pretty sweet price.
I currently have the now ancient A20 I believe, and I'm starting to have charger issues. Rather than paying for a new charge port to be installed, I'm seriously considering this A52. I'm a sold Galexy fan, so although the Google Pixel One is good I'm really wanting this. The fact that there will be further support than my phone, with growing 5G network capability that I've heard about is intriguing too. Thanks for the long term review. I think I'll stay away from the lower end of the mid range market from now on, you really cant beat these features.
I'm on my 3rd replacement A52 5g and I'm STILL having the same issues with it. Samsung were refusing to admit there is a problem with the phone (even though the guy at samsung told me that the phone was faulty) but there has just been an A52 5gs released and if you get this msg before you buy, I would go for the new release.
@@randommadness1021 what are the exact issues if I may ask? I owned a a52 5g since it became available at Bestbuy and have been heavily using it. Beginners luck? Or are you nit picking on a "not a flagship" device?
@@taggie_ na, not at all. I had an A40 for 2yrs prior, but when I got my upgrade, I have been stuck with an A52 5g since the beginning of my new contract. I'm currently on my 3rd A52 5G (it's been replaced twice) and they have all been great to start with but after a month or so of having them, I start to see the same issues - people not being able to hear me, constantly getting cut off of calls and I haven't had any incoming text for 5 months. Now I'm being hit with an A32, let's see how that goes... Also, the guy I spoke to on the phone told me to stay away from A52's as that is the phone they get the most complaints about.
@@randommadness1021 Huh weird, I've been with fido, must be some type of unsupported band case. PS there are alot of people who absolutely are careless with their devices but blame the manufacteur for such cases... good to know though, thanks bud. Here in Canada the A52 5G is quite popular for its stability across the major network carriers: Fido, Rogers, Virgin, Bell. Anything else might be a no-go.
Looking at deals for at&t, they've got this phone for $10 a month for 30 months (reading the fine print you can pay it off whenever) so basically $300 for this is a steal. Been rocking my note 8 for far too long. Really wished we got the a72 5G in America but hey, this is damn close
@@russnurse2b807 cause t mobile is a rip off. I just left them. I was promised a deal and they used every excuse possible to try and not give it to me. Told them I was leaving they wanted to give me a deal where I still had to put down almost the cost of the phone
First thing you want to do with all phones is to go to settings to turn on 'touch sensitivity' and 'remove animation', for faster feel of fingerprint unlock
I'm probably going to get the 6GB version of this phone. It's quite a bit cheaper, and I doubt I'll need more than that for my personal use. Will be a nice upgrade over my A5 2017.
have u ever had the galaxy s5 or s7....those are my FAVORITES....(the s5 had an amazing camera beats all iphones and other galaxies) if so how does this compare?
The selling point that gets me on a phone is dual speakers. I didn't know that this has dual speakers and why companies don't make more phones with dual speakers. One speaker doesn't cut it when it comes to a good quality sound. I'm in the market for a new phone AND it has the dual speakers...I'm sold.
I have the standard A52 (not the 5G) and for the price I paid... pretty impressed for for the midrange phone... I wouldn't use all the full features of this one let alone a top tier phone
@@leeallenbeal yes the A52 5g is better and that's what I ended up getting for a sweet deal, it performs just as good as the pixel 5a, with the option of adding more storage via SD card and with the 120hz refresh rate screen it makes it a better choice than the pixel, the only down side to the A52 5g that I see so far is not having that clean android software that pixel has but that's not a deal breaker
Just picked up an A52 5G today, I love everything about it so far except the vibration motor. Luckily I was able to turn the vibration off and it feels a lot more premium now :)
What is the model number? Starts with SM- . I'm looking for the model with FM Radio and the native Samsung App, like the model in your review. Thanks..
@@lion7676 main camera: zoom is great stabilisation it's good, colours are realistic. Front camera could be better in detail but other than that, good camera overall
Sounds like an honest review to me! I bought this phone and i will get it next week. Like you said, value for money and overall good enough specs. The water and dust resistence is a very nice addition. I don't want wireless charging and i don't use the fingerprint sensor, i'm very happy it has a headphone jack and sd-card expansion! Only shame is no telephoto lens and a 15W charger in the box. I'm looking forward to it! :)
This morning I woke up to my Note 8 having its system not responding. Last time this happened my phone completly dies on itself and took all photos, contacts, and EVERYTHING with it!! Reluctently I accepted the replacement note 8 that my store gave me cause at the time I didn't have money to replace it! I now have a job and little saved up!! Im excited to be getter a newer model phone and something a bit more recent!! Thank you so much for the video!! Im excited for it to come in!!
I am watching this video with my NEW A52! This phone is literally awesome! And it is all thanks to you!! Is it me or why is this phone display so good!! Btw I love your videos!
It has an headphone jack and it has an exceptional speed. The processor is really fast for a phone that costs under 500 US Dollars. This phone would not disapoint you!
Had to retire my Google Pixel 4XL and decided to get this as an emergency phone. I'm at a point where phones are just phones. This is pretty decent for the price.
The only issue I have with this phone is the camera. I don't know how to get it to take accurate colour shots in automatic mode. It always alters the true colours. Does anyone know how to correct it?
I got this for my sister because I think imo it's the best at that segment even tho it's kinda expensive compared to the competition .. I got her the 5G variant with 8GB of RAM and SD750G after one month I asked her what do you think of your phone she said "it's great.. Opens apps soooo quick"
@@ILoveGrilledCheese TBH, that's where most low and mid-range phones show their cracks the fastest and mess up other features. Even the best cameras, for instance, is pointless if the OS and apps slow down or start outright crashing.
I have one, the 120Hz option has little effect on battery life except when gaming - and even then it's not huge. The display/GPU uses adaptive sync, so it goes between 0 and 120 screen updates per second depending if something changes on the screen or not.
I'm still waiting for the 8/256 GB version that I ordered from the Philippines. Only the 6/128 GB is available here in the UK. Also, aside from the missing wireless charging, it's basically a flagship killer.
I got one today for $360 as a new customer at att&t. All I had to do was sign up for at least one month of att&t service. Just gonna pay it off in full and bring it to my carrier after the month ends.
Thanks for your video and info ,you made me decide and ordered myself one as a replacement for the old one and I was at the end of my contract too . I followed ýour opinion and went for it 🙏
Solid phone does everything I need in a smartphone . I bought my Samsung Galaxy a52 5 g for $125.. Crystal clear screen vibrant colors. Camera takes awesome pics . Excellent batter life .. Still rocking it... No issues , works fantastic. I would never spend $ 700 to 1200 bucks on a smartphone...
I'm considering this. Seems enough as a Spotify player. I don't game on phones, mobile games suck and I have a custom PC and console, the proper gaming platforms.
In the US this can be found on certain carriers for under $350 which makes it the best value smartphone you can find. And before someone mentions the Pixel...the 4A does not beat the A52 in any metric besides camera quality.
In my place, A52 5G price is a bit too steep as it creep closer to S20 FE price but the 4G version is insanely good value. A52 4G can be had for as low as $330 here which is bargain for what it offers and it's 256GB + 8GB RAM variant too, simply unreal value ...
Outside the US, there are far better phones at this price in America ($500). The ROG Phone 5 can be had for the same price in the UK as the A52 5G, which is £400, so much cheaper here, as Samsung would not sell it at the prices they charge their hardcore fanbase in the US. So the mid-range phones are £100 less than the normal US to UK conversion! That does suggest Samsung fans in the US are getting a raw deal, but I suppose that their restricted market where they effectively ban many of the best mid-range phones means poor value and choice for customers. I get offers from Xiaomi phones in very cheap flash deals, and my choice ATM would be the Mi 11 Lite, also at £400. At least over here, Samsung has dropped the price to be competitive, so is much better value than in N America, and it simply comes down to a subjective preference and a good value phone whatever you buy?
@@andyH_England ROG camera is terrible, the support is basically unknown (aftersale and sw updates) and the phone is big as a brick. It's not for everyone really unless everyone playing COD on their phones all the time lol. The truth is phone at this price cannot be the best of everything. Compromises must be made and the more well rounded package the phone offers, the easier it is to recommend to more peoples, hence why iPhone and some Galaxy phones are so easy to recommend. Don't get me wrong, alternative choices exist, so pick what you love and prefer. Although I do agree Samsung A series pricing in US is overpriced compared to other regions. Cheers ...
@@tetsuyohei130 Thanks. Im using S20 fe and it also have heat issue. I wanted to know if this happens with midrange phones like the one im using. Im planning to buy one for my parent
@@atlas4647 must be the chipset that causes random heating issue even just a normal usage which is exynos. I would go for s20 fe 5g because it has a snapdragon chipset but sadly. In my country there's only s20 fe without the 5g which is exynos chipset so I went for the a52 5g. Sorry for my poor English.
@@tetsuyohei130 Yes I acknowlegde about the Exynos 990. And in my place, there is only the 4g version of s20fe. But the irony is after I've bought the Exynos version, about 2 weeks later Samsung decided to releashed a Snapdragon version with 4g in my place that cost +50$. It feels suck man. But in the end, I still happy with my phone. I may consider to buy the a52 5g over the a72 4g. Your english is fine mate, mine is also not that good. 👍
I currently have a Samsung galaxy note 10+ I would like to upgrade my phone I'm looking for something with the same or more memory and better photo quality would this phone be an upgrade or would you suggest a different Samsung phone
Samsung have really lifted their game this year with phones like this and the S21 Ultra, they kind of had to given the Chinese competition from Xiaomi and OnePlus.
True. I just got the Redmi Note 10 from Xiaomi, and I must say, it's a really good phone with decent performance. I actually do prefer it over the 5g variant, especially since 5g isn't as main stream as 4g at the moment. And I do prefer it to any of the A series offerings from Samsung.
@@Jesuosivwi I'm the opposite, I went back to Samsung after using OnePlus phones since Oneplus 3T, OnePlus are not the company they once were sadly. The one thing I have noticed about Chinese electronics in particular (OnePlus, FiiO, Xiaomi etc.) is that build quality is very good as are their specs however they seem to lack the "polish" or that last "5%" that Korean/Japanese made products have (buggy software, lack of accessories etc.). For AU$597 A52 5G 256GB is pretty hard to beat when you take into account 4 years of security updates 3 years of software updates.
@@peterscrace3530 both phones have separate sweet spots on individual price points, which may appeal to consumers based on the amount of money they're willing to part with.
@@Jesuosivwi Fair point, as far as A52 5G goes for me the headphone jack and micro SD card support were key selling points, some of Xiaomi's have better SOC's at the same price point which would appeal to gamers.
@@peterscrace3530 well said. The IP rating, AMOLED panel, as well as support for Hi-Res audio were basically strong enough reasons why I chose the Redmi Note 10 over other smartphones.
According to GSMARENA the A52 5G has a slightly better processor and GPU than the A72. Ugh, I just wish the A52 5G had the 6.7 screen. BTW the Chinese version of this device is available for the same price as the US version on Amazon. It has the exact same specs but the Chinese version has 8GB of RAM instead of 6GB.
You know how priorities changed when the "most important" part of the phone is the display rather than the actually calling and talk/hearing quality in the calling. You know... what phones were created for and all that.

I can also see why people would want to buy flagships
Great comments.
Shame it only comes with a pathetically slow 15 watt charger. Sad part is I have the Samsung 25 watt charger but the included cable doesn't fit.
@wizzgamer You can easily upgrade into a 65W charger that is multipurpose for laptop, tablet, and your phone down the line. It's awesome.
Lovely review man. BTW, congrats on 200K subs.
I bought this phone recently i gotta say I'm impressed it's a good midrange phone
I have too it's a tiny bit slow but it's I love it
How do you like the camera?
@@anapineda4239 the camera takes nice pictures too
any overheating problem?
@@zeanaangie4949 not really I haven't experienced that
A very good phone over all. The only let down is the 4K and 1080 60fps video recording stability which is BAD. Nobody is really pointing this out to bring Samsung's attention to it and get it to fix it ASAP.
Yeah 😤
Is it something they can fix thru software updates?
@@alizahhassan1702 Yes, they can
It's marketing, they disabled the EIS for 4k video so you would buy their higher end phones. It's all marketing. If you want a fast phone with everything for the same price as this a52 then go take a look at the Xiaomi mi 11 lite 5g.
@@AlexiaVon Hmmmm not sure. I'm currently testing the Xiaomi Redmi Note 10 Pro vs the Galaxy M51 which has a similar camera set up to the Mi 11 lite 5g and I'm disappointed. Having said that, it might be better optimised and perform better but I'm not buying it. Do you own it?
What's your battery percentage at right now? 🧐 (don't lie) Mine is at 55%

It always lasts 20+ minutes before dropping from 100 to 99 and then starts draining at normal rate lol

I can't contain my excitement more now. Tried to check other models but Samsung S7 Edge stayed with me for 5years, 2days ago it went off. Am impressed of the years it lasted. Getting this unit tomorrow. Wohooo!
My s7 died quite literally at the same time as yours..... after an update. Weird!. How did yours die?
RIP old phones.
Watching on my a52 5g and coming from the a51 5g I gave my mom. The biggest plus is 120hrz, camera auto focus, brighter screen in sunlight and stereo speakers.
Great comments!
Watching this video for the first time on my a52 I just bought it this morning before even seeing this video the lady at cricket recommended it I'm honestly glad I picked it out of some other options
Excellent review. My old phone was giving me problems while I was on a long trip. I bought an A52 5G from the T-Mobile store in Daytona. I paid $504 for it without research, hoping it was a good deal. I believe it was.
After getting one, l did not notice it had all my initials & my age & culture colors. I love ❤️ this phone 📱.
I ended up getting this phone just a few weeks ago. I do miss the physical home button sometimes, but I love the phone overall. Fast and snappy, pretty good camera, solid SoC, and just shy of being too large. I got the 4G 6GB version for €280 (about $310 at the time), pretty sweet price.
You're pretty behind if you still miss the home button

I was literally watching a video on the a52 he made and then went back to the videos tab and this just got posted
I currently have the now ancient A20 I believe, and I'm starting to have charger issues. Rather than paying for a new charge port to be installed, I'm seriously considering this A52. I'm a sold Galexy fan, so although the Google Pixel One is good I'm really wanting this. The fact that there will be further support than my phone, with growing 5G network capability that I've heard about is intriguing too. Thanks for the long term review. I think I'll stay away from the lower end of the mid range market from now on, you really cant beat these features.
I have the a20 and I've been have charging issues as well and I just bought the a52 definitely well worth it.
I'm on my 3rd replacement A52 5g and I'm STILL having the same issues with it.
Samsung were refusing to admit there is a problem with the phone (even though the guy at samsung told me that the phone was faulty) but there has just been an A52 5gs released and if you get this msg before you buy, I would go for the new release.
@@randommadness1021 what are the exact issues if I may ask? I owned a a52 5g since it became available at Bestbuy and have been heavily using it. Beginners luck? Or are you nit picking on a "not a flagship" device?
@@taggie_ na, not at all. I had an A40 for 2yrs prior, but when I got my upgrade, I have been stuck with an A52 5g since the beginning of my new contract. I'm currently on my 3rd A52 5G (it's been replaced twice) and they have all been great to start with but after a month or so of having them, I start to see the same issues - people not being able to hear me, constantly getting cut off of calls and I haven't had any incoming text for 5 months. Now I'm being hit with an A32, let's see how that goes...
Also, the guy I spoke to on the phone told me to stay away from A52's as that is the phone they get the most complaints about.
@@randommadness1021 Huh weird, I've been with fido, must be some type of unsupported band case.
PS there are alot of people who absolutely are careless with their devices but blame the manufacteur for such cases...
good to know though, thanks bud. Here in Canada the A52 5G is quite popular for its stability across the major network carriers: Fido, Rogers, Virgin, Bell. Anything else might be a no-go.
Looking at deals for at&t, they've got this phone for $10 a month for 30 months (reading the fine print you can pay it off whenever) so basically $300 for this is a steal. Been rocking my note 8 for far too long. Really wished we got the a72 5G in America but hey, this is damn close
I got the a52 5g on metro for $250
And I'll get $100 back after 3 months
So $150 for the phone
If a 5G phone is what you are looking for get the S10 5G which is now basically at the same price.
Just went to T-Mobile tonight to look at this phone and a couple of others. They had it at $504.00. smh!
@@russnurse2b807 cause t mobile is a rip off. I just left them. I was promised a deal and they used every excuse possible to try and not give it to me. Told them I was leaving they wanted to give me a deal where I still had to put down almost the cost of the phone
@@Truecrimeresearcher224 What a rip off!
First thing you want to do with all phones is to go to settings to turn on 'touch sensitivity' and 'remove animation', for faster feel of fingerprint unlock
How is the quality of the sound recording? I'm a songwriter and mostly use voice memo on the iPhone. Wondering how it compares. Thanks!
It's ok, it's not at an iPhone level but iPhones also cost more generally speaking. It's definitely not terrible however.
Samsung Really improved their A series just wow
I'm probably going to get the 6GB version of this phone. It's quite a bit cheaper, and I doubt I'll need more than that for my personal use. Will be a nice upgrade over my A5 2017.
@@sockdunderbutt4922 he's talking about ram dingus

I should be upgrading from the same model soon! Gotta be honest, I'll miss the physical home button sometimes
i agree! i have an a6 2018 and ive been considering this phone. i love these reviews so helpful!
Alot of people in the comments tripping . This is probably one of the best phones I ever had
True...I have one ....love it
have u ever had the galaxy s5 or s7....those are my FAVORITES....(the s5 had an amazing camera beats all iphones and other galaxies) if so how does this compare?
I know this comment is from 5 months ago. But the a52 is still my daily phone! Why spend 1500 dollars on a new one, when this still feels new.
The selling point that gets me on a phone is dual speakers. I didn't know that this has dual speakers and why companies don't make more phones with dual speakers. One speaker doesn't cut it when it comes to a good quality sound. I'm in the market for a new phone AND it has the dual speakers...I'm sold.
The audio is really good on this phone it's shocking

@@leeallenbeal yes the A52 5g is better and that's what I ended up getting for a sweet deal, it performs just as good as the pixel 5a, with the option of adding more storage via SD card and with the 120hz refresh rate screen it makes it a better choice than the pixel, the only down side to the A52 5g that I see so far is not having that clean android software that pixel has but that's not a deal breaker

Sounds like an honest review to me! I bought this phone and i will get it next week. Like you said, value for money and overall good enough specs. The water and dust resistence is a very nice addition. I don't want wireless charging and i don't use the fingerprint sensor, i'm very happy it has a headphone jack and sd-card expansion! Only shame is no telephoto lens and a 15W charger in the box. I'm looking forward to it! :)

It has an headphone jack and it has an exceptional speed. The processor is really fast for a phone that costs under 500 US Dollars. This phone would not disapoint you!
Wheather you get the 4G model or the 5G, they are really fast phones and offer amazing flagship specs for a low price.
Does it have voice hearing issues while calling.. I saw some people talking about it
Had to retire my Google Pixel 4XL and decided to get this as an emergency phone. I'm at a point where phones are just phones. This is pretty decent for the price.
The only issue I have with this phone is the camera. I don't know how to get it to take accurate colour shots in automatic mode. It always alters the true colours. Does anyone know how to correct it?

I got this for my sister because I think imo it's the best at that segment even tho it's kinda expensive compared to the competition .. I got her the 5G variant with 8GB of RAM and SD750G
after one month I asked her what do you think of your phone she said "it's great.. Opens apps soooo quick"
Funny but she's probably a good example of 85% of smartphone users. As long as apps open fast most people don't even care about the other stuff.
@@ILoveGrilledCheese exactly 😅😅🤣🤣
@@ILoveGrilledCheese TBH, that's where most low and mid-range phones show their cracks the fastest and mess up other features. Even the best cameras, for instance, is pointless if the OS and apps slow down or start outright crashing.
How is 12hrs of SOT a 1 day battery??? Who in the world uses their phone for 12hrs a day? That would be like a 4 or 5 day battery for me.
How can I use my phone 4 to 5 days, help me what should I do? Did I stop playing game!
I'm so early woah😮, love your reviews as always 👌💕
Do you recommend this phone for a sport social media manager?
With your battery usage, did you get your high SOT with 120hz enabled? I know it all varies from person to person as well.
I have one, the 120Hz option has little effect on battery life except when gaming - and even then it's not huge. The display/GPU uses adaptive sync, so it goes between 0 and 120 screen updates per second depending if something changes on the screen or not.
Where can I find those scenery videos used when you talk about the display? Thanks
I'm still waiting for the 8/256 GB version that I ordered from the Philippines. Only the 6/128 GB is available here in the UK.
Also, aside from the missing wireless charging, it's basically a flagship killer.
Wireless charging is still more of a gimmick imo

In the US this can be found on certain carriers for under $350 which makes it the best value smartphone you can find. And before someone mentions the Pixel...the 4A does not beat the A52 in any metric besides camera quality.
I' d add a more reliable fingerprint sensor and Stock Android to discussion when it comes to the Pixel 4a.

Can you tell WHAT kind of watch you are wearing ????!! And where can I GET one.
The best phone this year is s20 fe 5g, who's in his right mind will buy a52 when s20 fe is only 50$ more expensive
$50 is still a lot of money
In my place, A52 5G price is a bit too steep as it creep closer to S20 FE price but the 4G version is insanely good value. A52 4G can be had for as low as $330 here which is bargain for what it offers and it's 256GB + 8GB RAM variant too, simply unreal value ...
Outside the US, there are far better phones at this price in America ($500). The ROG Phone 5 can be had for the same price in the UK as the A52 5G, which is £400, so much cheaper here, as Samsung would not sell it at the prices they charge their hardcore fanbase in the US. So the mid-range phones are £100 less than the normal US to UK conversion! That does suggest Samsung fans in the US are getting a raw deal, but I suppose that their restricted market where they effectively ban many of the best mid-range phones means poor value and choice for customers. I get offers from Xiaomi phones in very cheap flash deals, and my choice ATM would be the Mi 11 Lite, also at £400.
At least over here, Samsung has dropped the price to be competitive, so is much better value than in N America, and it simply comes down to a subjective preference and a good value phone whatever you buy?
@@andyH_England ROG camera is terrible, the support is basically unknown (aftersale and sw updates) and the phone is big as a brick. It's not for everyone really unless everyone playing COD on their phones all the time lol. The truth is phone at this price cannot be the best of everything. Compromises must be made and the more well rounded package the phone offers, the easier it is to recommend to more peoples, hence why iPhone and some Galaxy phones are so easy to recommend. Don't get me wrong, alternative choices exist, so pick what you love and prefer. Although I do agree Samsung A series pricing in US is overpriced compared to other regions. Cheers ...
Here in the Philippines the difference is about $200 or 10000 php so i think I'll go with a 52 5g

Samsung have really lifted their game this year with phones like this and the S21 Ultra, they kind of had to given the Chinese competition from Xiaomi and OnePlus.
True. I just got the Redmi Note 10 from Xiaomi, and I must say, it's a really good phone with decent performance. I actually do prefer it over the 5g variant, especially since 5g isn't as main stream as 4g at the moment. And I do prefer it to any of the A series offerings from Samsung.
@@Jesuosivwi I'm the opposite, I went back to Samsung after using OnePlus phones since Oneplus 3T, OnePlus are not the company they once were sadly. The one thing I have noticed about Chinese electronics in particular (OnePlus, FiiO, Xiaomi etc.) is that build quality is very good as are their specs however they seem to lack the "polish" or that last "5%" that Korean/Japanese made products have (buggy software, lack of accessories etc.). For AU$597 A52 5G 256GB is pretty hard to beat when you take into account 4 years of security updates 3 years of software updates.

How is the haptic feedback on this phone?
You know how priorities changed when the "most important" part of the phone is the display rather than the actually calling and talk/hearing quality in the calling. You know... what phones were created for and all that.
I think it's cause no one answers the phone anymore due to all the scam calls.
Does it default to 4g if 5g isnt available in the area? Is it worth $200 more than the 22 Moto G Stylus? I want a phone to last 4 years
