Samsung Galaxy A52, Galaxy A52 5G, and Galaxy A72 are the latest mid-range smartphones in the Galaxy A family. These smart devices promise users an exceptional technology experience at an affordable price. Currently, Samsung Galaxy A52 and Galaxy A72 are available in the Vietnamese market, while the Galaxy A52 5G version is also being offered for pre-order at many stores, drawing significant interest.
2. Specifications of Samsung Galaxy A52 5G
According to Samsung, the difference between Galaxy A52 4G and 5G versions lies in the screen refresh rate, processor, and 5G technology. Specifically, Samsung Galaxy A52 4G runs on the Snapdragon 720G chip and features a 90 Hz display, lacking 5G support, whereas the Galaxy A52 5G runs on the Snapdragon 750G chip, has a 120Hz display, and supports 5G.
Overall, there isn't a significant difference in swipe experience, functionality, and color display capability between the two smartphone models. Admittedly, the higher refresh rate screen provides a smoother and faster content display, especially during gaming, but the Galaxy A72 offers a wider display space.
2. Camera
Both phone models boast a quad-camera setup with a 64 MP primary camera accompanied by Optical Image Stabilization (OIS) technology, ensuring sharp photos both day and night.
It can be argued that the camera system is the most enticing feature of the Galaxy A72. Alongside the 12 MP ultra-wide lens, the A72 also features an 8 MP telephoto lens with 3x optical zoom and 30x space zoom, a feature unmatched by any other smartphone in this price range. Moreover, the A72 also houses a macro lens for capturing objects up close.
Compared to the A72, the camera system of the Samsung Galaxy A52 5G falls short due to the absence of a telephoto lens. Both smartphone models feature a 32 MP front camera.

With this charger, you can fast charge your device just like the A72.
4. Performance
The Samsung Galaxy A72 features 8GB of RAM and a Snapdragon 720G processor. This processor is quite powerful, allowing you to smoothly switch between various apps like YouTube, Netflix, and Spotify. The 256GB internal storage can be expanded with a memory card up to 1TB. The A72 does not support the new 5G network. This means you won't benefit from faster internet speeds from 5G in the future.
Samsung has released the A52 in both 4G and 5G versions. The 4G version features the Snapdragon 720G processor just like the Samsung A72.
