Editorial report
Samsung Galaxy A52 5G 8 GB / 128 GB / Global / SM-A526B technical sheet
The Samsung Galaxy A52 5G suits buyers looking for a mid-range phone with a particularly smooth display and a well-equipped main camera. Its 6.5″ Super AMOLED display pairs a 120 Hz refresh rate with 407 ppi; both figures are better than those of most phones launched around the same time. It also includes Always-On Display and HDR10+.
The main camera has a 64 MP resolution and a 1/1.7″ sensor, both better than those of most phones of its time. Optical image stabilization is included, and video recording goes up to 4K at 30 fps. A 13 MP ultrawide camera adds another framing option. The camera overall stands better than most, as do the display and design. The body has IP67 protection and measures 8.4 mm thick, slimmer than most phones of its time.
Connectivity is also better than most, with 5G, NFC, dual-band Wi-Fi and dual SIM support. The Snapdragon 750G puts performance and hardware at a typical level for its time; the same applies to the 4,500 mAh battery and 25 W charging. Configurations include 6 GB / 128 GB, 8 GB / 128 GB and 8 GB / 256 GB. With a NeoScore of 5.9, the Galaxy A52 5G is a balanced choice for buyers who prioritize the display and camera.
