Every year, Samsung unveils successor smartphone models with numerous hardware and software enhancements. If last year I was highly impressed with the Galaxy M51, the powerhouse with robust battery and performance, then in 2021 the product that truly amazes me is the Galaxy A52.
Join me in uncovering the 5 pros and 2 high points that have propelled Galaxy A52 to lead the 8-9 million VND price segment.
1. The Super AMOLED display never fails to impress users
Samsung retains its signature Infinity-O punch-hole display design. The display quality is excellent with a premium Super AMOLED panel, Full HD+ resolution.
All content displayed here is exceptionally good, with fine details, pleasing colors, and a brightness of up to 800 nits, making it easy to use outdoors.
In summary, if you're looking for a smartphone for entertainment, with eye-catching movie watching capabilities in this segment, then the Galaxy A52 is the best choice.
2. Gaming at full throttle with Snapdragon 720G
As a passionate mobile gamer, I pay close attention to performance. Gaming experience on the Galaxy A52 is commendable with the Snapdragon 720G processor from Qualcomm.
I've tried playing popular games like Arena of Valor and League of Legends: Wild Rift on the Galaxy A52, and the results were impressive. The device doesn't heat up much, and the frame rate remains stable even during extended gaming sessions.
3. Youthful design, rugged finish
Samsung has a penchant for changing the design of the A series, and the Galaxy A52 is no exception. This year, Samsung has shifted to a minimalist design, giving the device a sleeker and more elegant look.
The Galaxy A52 features a polycarbonate back like its predecessors, but this time Samsung has applied a matte coating to make it easier to hold and use the phone. The matte finish makes the A52 stand out more and prevents fingerprint smudges.
Despite being made of plastic, the build quality of the A52 is very good. I tried pressing firmly on the edges and back of the device, and it feels very sturdy, without any creaks.
4. Large 4,500 mAh battery can last up to 2 days
Regarding battery life, the Galaxy A52 boasts a 4,500 mAh battery with 25W fast charging. While the Galaxy A52 doesn't have as long battery life as its predecessors, it's still sufficient for comfortable day-long use.
However, that's if you're comparing it with the 'bulky' predecessors like the Galaxy A72 or M51. Compared to the previous A51 model, it's been upgraded by 500 mAh and charges even faster.
Don't worry because the Galaxy A52 still meets the demands of your workday. With light calling and web browsing, it can even last until the second day.
5. Equipped with all the essential camera sensors
The Galaxy A52 features a quad-camera setup on the rear: a 64 MP main lens, coupled with a 12 MP wide-angle sensor, a 5 MP macro lens, and a 5 MP depth sensor. The front camera is 32 MP.
Looking at the specs, it's generally decent in the mid-range segment, with slight improvements over its predecessor. However, the real deal lies in the image processing software on the Galaxy A52, which has significantly improved.
The AI Scene Optimizer feature offers up to 30 image categories and scenes such as food, landscapes, and pets, automatically adjusting parameters to capture the best shot. Snap a photo and upload it to Facebook in an instant.
Moreover, the Galaxy A52 boasts valuable optical image stabilization (OIS), ensuring the most stable videos in various conditions.
Improving night mode photography is another plus point for the Galaxy A52. For more details, refer to the detailed camera review article.
6. IP67 water and dust resistance, flagship-level sophistication
One thing I really like about the Galaxy A52 is its IP67 water and dust resistance, something rarely seen in mid-range smartphones and usually found only in high-end flagship models.
Water resistance is essential, especially in Vietnam where many people commute by motorbike. If you encounter a sudden rain shower, you can still relax because the Galaxy A52 is IP67 rated, so a few raindrops won't cause any harm.
Achieving IP67 standard means your A52 is fully protected from dust intrusion and can be submerged in water up to 1m deep for 30 minutes without damage.
However, it's important to note that this is just a safety feature, a precaution. No manufacturer will warranty your smartphone if it gets submerged in water.
7. A beautiful display alone isn't enough, it must be responsive with a high refresh rate
Refresh rate refers to the number of frames your eyes receive from the screen per second, measured in Hz. The higher the refresh rate, the more lifelike, smooth, and clear the transmitted images will be.
Certainly, other manufacturers also have this feature, but in my opinion, the Galaxy A52 performs the best. Many brands, despite offering 90Hz or even 120Hz, have displays that aren't as good, some use LCD screens, while others have AMOLED but can't match the quality of the Galaxy A52.
The 90Hz on the Galaxy A52 has given me a completely new user experience, everything now happens faster, more responsive. That's why I consider this a high point that makes the Galaxy A52 the best choice in its price range.
Above are my summaries of the 5 pros and 2 highlights explaining why the Galaxy A52 is leading the 8-9 million VND segment.
Don't forget, Mytour is offering a discount of up to 700,000 VND on the price of the Galaxy A52, applicable to both the 128 GB and 256 GB versions, valid until June 15th only. So, if you want to buy, act fast before they run out.
