Editorial report
Samsung Galaxy M52 5G 8 GB / 128 GB / Global technical sheet
The Samsung Galaxy M52 5G suits buyers looking for a slim phone with a high-refresh-rate display. Its 120 Hz screen is better than most displays on phones of its time, while its 7.4 mm thickness is among the thinnest. The 6.7-inch Super AMOLED display also includes Always-On Display, pairing a large viewing area with at-a-glance information.
This configuration has 6 GB of RAM and 128 GB of storage, with expandable storage. Samsung also sells the phone with 8 GB of RAM and 128 GB of storage. The Snapdragon 778G places performance around typical for phones launched at the same time; its AnTuTu result is 589,200. For photos, the 64 MP camera resolution is higher than that of most phones of its time, and an ultrawide camera adds another view. The main camera has no optical image stabilization, a limitation for buyers who want that feature.
Connectivity is better than on most phones of its time, with 5G, Wi-Fi 6 and NFC. The 5,000 mAh battery and 25 W charging are typical figures for phones launched around the same time. Its NeoScore is 6.0. This is a particularly suitable choice for anyone who prioritizes a smooth display and slim design, and can do without optical image stabilization on the main camera.
