Samsung introduces new smartphone models every year with significant improvements and changes in both hardware and software. If last year I was very impressed with the Galaxy M51, the beast with strong battery and performance, then in 2021 the product that makes me go 'WOW' the most is the Galaxy A52.
Let's uncover the 5 strengths and 2 high points that have propelled the Galaxy A52 to the top of the 8-9 million VND price range.
1. The Super AMOLED display never disappoints users
Samsung maintains its signature Infinity-O punch-hole screen design. The display quality is excellent with a premium Super AMOLED panel, Full HD+ resolution.
All content displayed here is extremely outstanding, with good detail, 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 experience in this price range, then the Galaxy A52 is the best choice.
2. Gaming to the max with Snapdragon 720G
Being someone who loves gaming on smartphones, I pay close attention to performance. Gaming experience on the Galaxy A52 is excellent with the Snapdragon 720G processor from Qualcomm.
I've tried using the Galaxy A52 to play popular games like Arena of Valor and League of Legends: Wild Rift, and the result is that the device doesn't heat up much, and the frame rate remains stable even after continuous hours of play.
3. Youthful design, sturdy build
Samsung loves to change the design of the A series, and the Galaxy A52 is no exception. This year, Samsung has shifted to a minimalist design, making the device look sleeker and much more beautiful.
The Galaxy A52 has a polycarbonate back like its predecessors, but this time Samsung has applied a matte coating to make it easier for you to hold and use the phone. The matte finish makes the A52 stand out more and doesn't retain fingerprints.
Despite being made of plastic, the finishing quality of the A52 is very good. I tried pressing hard on the edges and back, and it feels very solid, with no flexing at all.
4. Large 4,500 mAh battery can last up to 2 days
In terms of battery life, the Galaxy A52 features 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 enough for comfortable all-day usage.
However, that's if you're being picky when comparing it to the 'big brothers' like the Galaxy A72 or M51. Compared to the previous A51 model, it's been increased by 500 mAh and it charges even faster.
Don't worry because the Galaxy A52 still meets your needs for a full day's work. If you're just making calls and casually browsing the web, it might even last until the second day.
5. Equipped with all the most common camera sensors
The Galaxy A52 features a quad rear camera setup: a 64 MP main lens, paired 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, overall it's 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 seen significant enhancements.
The Scene Optimizer feature using AI offers up to 30 image categories and backgrounds such as food, landscapes, and pets, automatically adjusting settings to capture the best photo, ready to be uploaded to Facebook in an instant.
Moreover, the Galaxy A52 also boasts valuable Optical Image Stabilization (OIS), ensuring the most stable videos in various conditions.
Improving the night mode shooting is also a plus for the Galaxy A52, for more details check out the detailed camera review article.
6. IP67 water and dust resistance, flagship-grade
One thing I really like about the Galaxy A52 is its IP67 water and dust resistance, something rarely seen in mid-range smartphones, usually only found in high-end flagship models.
Water resistance is essential, especially in Vietnam where many people ride motorcycles. If there's a sudden rain shower, you can still rest assured because the Galaxy A52 has IP67, a few splashes won't do any harm.
Achieving IP67 standard means your A52 is completely protected from dust intrusion and can be submerged in water up to 1m deep for 30 minutes without damage.
However, it's worth noting that this is just a safety feature, a precaution. No manufacturer will warranty your smartphone if it's submerged in water.
7. A beautiful display alone is not enough, it must be responsive with a high refresh rate
Refresh rate is the number of frames your eyes receive from the screen within 1 second and is measured in Hz. The higher the refresh rate, the more lifelike, smooth, and sharp the image quality transmitted will be.
Of course, other manufacturers also have this feature, but in my opinion, the Galaxy A52 does it best. Many brands, even with 90Hz or 120Hz, have screens that aren't good enough. Some use LCD screens, others have AMOLED but can't match the quality of the Galaxy A52.
Having 90Hz on the Galaxy A52 has given me a completely new user experience, everything now happens faster and more responsively. That's why I consider this a high point, making the Galaxy A52 the best choice in its price range.
Above are my summaries of the 5 strengths and 2 high points explaining why we can say the Galaxy A52 is leading in the 8-9 million VND segment.
Don't forget, Mytour is offering a discount of 700,000 VND on the price of the Galaxy A52, applicable to both the 128 GB and 256 GB versions, the promotion lasts until June 15th, so if you want to buy, act fast before it runs out.
