The Samsung Galaxy A52 5G is an Android handset with an excellent main camera, it has a large display with a 120Hz refresh rate, water-resistance and a long-lasting 4,500mAh battery. Granted its performance won’t blow you away but you get what you pay for there.

5G support, 120Hz FHD+ display, 64MP main camera is excellent

Thick design, 10x digital zoom is very grainy, Slower than expensive handsets

The Samsung Galaxy A52 5G is an easy recommendation if you’re not bowled over by the flashier flagships and their high prices.

Great screen, Long battery life, Years of support, OIS is welcome

Design is a bit basic, Secondary cameras aren’t good

The Samsung Galaxy A52 5G isn’t going to blow you away with top-end specs or a remarkably affordable price, but it’s still a solid choice for a mid-range handset that can compete with the likes of the Google Pixel 4a.

Solidly built, A good display, Decent battery life

Mediocre power, Extra cameras are only okay, Lacks exciting features

Looking at it in comparison to other phones in its own price bracket it also holds up well. It’s not the best at everything, with the OnePlus Nord offering more power and phones from Chinese brands often charging faster, for example, but from the screen to the cameras, battery, build and beyond,...

Excellent 120Hz screen, Good quad-lens camera, Great value

No wireless charging, Plastic back, No telephoto camera

The Galaxy A52 5G sweats on the details, with a fine 120Hz AMOLED display, an IP67-rated body, a competent OIS-laden camera and the promise of four years of security updates. There’s better value to be had, however, if not quite the same sense of security.

Excellent 120Hz AMOLED display, Decent camera with OIS, IP67 rating

Weak performance for the money, Unreliable fingerprint sensor, Uninspiring plastic design

With 5G connectivity, a 120Hz display and solid performance, the Galaxy A52 5G is Samsung’s best-value smartphone yet

Almost half the price of Galaxy S21, Excellent 120Hz display, Huge performance uplift

Slightly cheap design, Chunky bezels

More premium. The Galaxy A52 5G is an updated version of one of the most successful Samsung smartphones. It comes with a price hike, which puts it above the 400-Euro (~$480) mark for the first time. Read our review to learn why it is still worth every cent.

bright 120-Hz OLED screen, high level of system performance, expandable storage, stable Wi-Fi and 5G, IP67 certification

camera system with no optical zoom, fewer accessories in the box, mediocre GNSS performance

Samsung's Galaxy A52 5G offers a good set of features at a mid-range (£/$350) price point. A distinctive chassis design with a nice matte finish to the backplate, IP67 dust/water resistance, a 3.5mm headset jack and 6GB of RAM plus 128GB of internal storage give it broad appeal, with dual SIM, 5G...

120Hz Super AMOLED display, Distinctive design, IP67 rating for dust/water resistance, MicroSD card slot and 3.5mm headset jack, Good primary 64MP camera with OIS

Disappointing macro and depth cameras, Digital zoom only

The Galaxy A52 is an interesting device given that it has two versions in the Philippine market. The one that we have is the 4G version that is priced at PHP 18,990, while the other is the 5G version with a more powerful chipset, higher refresh rate, and 5G connectivity for a more expensive PHP...

This is the latest Samsung offering to cross my desk, my unit has a matt sky blue back, a shiny slightly darker blue sides and a very shiny front. There are a vertical line of three cameras top left of the back and a forth camera and LED flash beside these.
