When two equally matched rivals are placed on the scale: Should you go for Samsung Galaxy A52 5G or OPPO Reno6 5G with a budget of over 10 million VND?

Choosing a smartphone over $500 might seem daunting, but when faced with options like the Samsung Galaxy A52 5G and OPPO Reno6 5G, it's no easy task. Both offer stunning displays, impressive cameras, powerful performance, and long-lasting battery life.

But fear not, in this article, we'll provide an objective comparison of these two smartphones to help you make the best choice. Let's dive in!

Design: Beauty is in the Eye of the Beholder!

Let's start with the design of the OPPO Reno6 5G. It's safe to say that OPPO has undergone a remarkable transformation with this model. The Reno6 5G features a sleek, angular design with a metal frame and a glass back with a sophisticated gradient effect.

But wait, there's more! The OPPO Reno6 5G also boasts the world's first diamond spectrum technology. In terms of color options, the Reno6 5G maintains its dazzling beauty with two multi-colored options: silver and mysterious black.

The Galaxy A52 5G is equally captivating in its appearance. While it sticks to a more traditional design, it still screams Samsung at first glance. However, the Galaxy A52 5G offers a pleasantly grippy feel thanks to its textured back combined with a metal frame.

Thanks to this design, the Galaxy A52 5G will minimize fingerprint smudges and dirt accumulation during use. Additionally, it comes in two color options: black and sky blue. Oh, and let's not forget, the Galaxy A52 5G is equipped with the super sleek IP67 water/dust resistance standard.

Camera: Two Sides of the Same Coin

Both the front cameras of the Reno6 5G and Galaxy A52 5G boast a 32 MP resolution. Overall, there's not much difference in their selfie capabilities or features. However, there's quite a contrast in the rear cameras. Let's dive in!

Specifically, the Reno6 5G features a camera system comprising a 64 MP main sensor, an 8 MP ultra-wide camera, and a 2 MP macro camera. Along with inheriting a slew of high-end photography features from the OPPO Reno5, the Reno6 5G is upgraded with outstanding portrait photography features.

Take, for example, the Bokeh Flare portrait feature and the incredibly impressive beauty video recording. Regardless of lighting conditions, the image quality remains top-notch, as OPPO's Reno series has never disappointed in photography and videography.

What about the Galaxy A52 5G? In terms of camera quantity, this smartphone takes the lead over its competitor with a quad-camera setup consisting of a 64 MP main camera, a 12 MP wide-angle camera, a 5 MP depth camera, and finally, a 5 MP macro camera.

Moreover, the Galaxy A52 5G is equipped with intelligent photography features. Another noteworthy point is that this smartphone also supports OIS for stable photography anytime, anywhere.

Performance: A Bit of a Difference

The Reno6 5G is the first smartphone on the market to feature the latest integrated 5G SoC from MediaTek. Paired with this powerful chip is a whopping 8 GB of RAM and 128 GB of internal storage. Not stopping there, the Reno6 5G also introduces another innovation on the new ColorOS: RAM expansion technology up to 5 GB.

The Galaxy A52 5G is powered by the Snapdragon 750G 5G processor along with 8 GB of RAM and 128 GB of ROM. With this configuration, the Galaxy A52 5G can confidently handle any task.

What about the display?

The Reno6 5G boasts a 6.43-inch Full HD+ AMOLED display. It's slightly regrettable that the Reno6 5G features a 90 Hz refresh rate screen, which is lower compared to its competitor.

While the Reno6 5G excels in performance, the Galaxy A52 5G has the upper hand in terms of the display. Specifically, the Galaxy A52 5G comes with a 6.5-inch screen utilizing a Super AMOLED panel with a refresh rate of up to 120 Hz to clinch the victory.

Battery life is similar, but there's a significant difference in charging speed

The OPPO Reno6 5G features a 4,300 mAh battery integrated with the impressive SuperVOOC 2.0 65 W ultra-fast charging technology. With 65 W fast charging, the Reno6 5G becomes one of the fastest charging smartphones available today. You'll only need a mere 28 minutes to fully charge the battery and use it throughout the day.

Meanwhile, the Galaxy A52 5G with its 4,500 mAh battery edges slightly ahead. However, the Galaxy A52 5G bears the burden of a Super AMOLED screen that consumes a lot of energy, so the usage time of this smartphone will be lower compared to its competitor.

So, what's the wise choice?

Overall, both of these smartphones have their own strengths.

If you're someone who values audiovisual experience and OIS video recording capabilities, then the Samsung Galaxy A52 5G is definitely an excellent choice. Not to mention, the price of the Galaxy A52 5G is currently reduced by 13%.

But if you prioritize a premium design, better performance, super-fast charging, and are willing to spend at a higher price point, then the OPPO Reno6 5G is the suitable choice.
