Editorial report
Samsung Galaxy A72 technical sheet
The Samsung Galaxy A72 suits people looking for a large display and a versatile camera setup. Its 6.7″ Super AMOLED display gives content room, while the telephoto camera adds 3x optical zoom for framing distant subjects. The configuration shown pairs 6 GB of RAM with 128 GB of storage; the phone is also sold in 8 GB / 128 GB and 8 GB / 256 GB versions.
The camera’s 64 MP resolution is higher than that of most phones of its time, and its 3x optical zoom is among the highest. Optical image stabilization is included on the 64 MP camera and the telephoto camera. Design and display stand better than most, with an 8.4 mm body that is slimmer than most phones of its time. The trade-off is weight: at 203 g, it is heavier than most. Its 5000 mAh battery has more capacity than most phones of its time, while fast charging is rated at 25 W.
Performance and connectivity are typical for phones of its time. The Snapdragon 720G, 90 Hz display, and Android 14 describe the configuration, while NFC and a 3.5 mm audio jack cover familiar connections. Overall, the Galaxy A72 is better than most phones of its time and earns a NeoScore of 6.0. It is a fit for people who prioritize cameras, optical zoom, and a large screen, and are comfortable with a heavier phone.
