Samsung continues to expand its catalog by adding a small letter “s” to the Galaxy A52. This letter is not trivial: better performance, 5G and a 120 Hz OLED screen are on the menu.

It is mid-range, it comes to be placed under the future Galaxy S21 FE. It still benefits from some big changes that go well beyond the additional letter in its name. Indeed, it integrates the processor Snapdragon 778G who brings with him the 5G. It is an ARM chip announced in May 2021, which offers better performance, but also the first mid-range SoC to have a triple ISP (Spectra 570K), like the Snapdragon 888. This allows it in particular to process the stream of three sensors simultaneously.

The Galaxy A52s is well equipped at this level with a 64 megapixel (f / 1.8) main camera with optical stabilization, a 12 megapixel ultra wide-angle (f / 2.2), a sensor for the depth of field 5 megapixel camera (f / 2.4) and a macro camera (5 megapixel, f / 2.4). At the front, there is a 32 megapixel camera (f / 2.2).

Regarding the architecture of the SoC, no real surprise apart from the triple ISP. We find an octo-core CPU (4 Cortex-A77 and 4 Cortex-A55) engraved in 6 nm, an Adreno 642L GPU, as well as a 5G Snapdragon X53 modem compatible with sub-6 and millimeter frequencies. This chip also supports multi-gigabit Wi-Fi 6 and 6E and Bluetooth 5.2. However, the Galaxy A52s does not support Wi-Fi 6, nor 5G millimeter.

The Galaxy A52s has another trump card up its sleeve: a Super AMOLED screen in Full HD + definition (2040 by 1080 pixels) with a refresh rate of 120 Hz. It is therefore a quality screen that Samsung has selected for its smartphone.

Also note the presence of a micro SD batch that allows you to expand the phone’s storage up to 1 TB, in addition to the 128 GB of internal storage (and 6 or 8 GB of RAM memory). The battery capacity is 4,500mAh, not wireless charging, but fast wired charging at 25 Watts. It offers two speakers and therefore a stereo audio experience. Finally, it is IP67 certified which protects it against sand but also immersion in water up to 1 meter for 30 minutes.

It will be available in four colors: blue, black, white and purple. For the moment, we are awaiting its officialization in France, nevertheless it is sold to 449 euros (6 GB / 128 GB) or 509 euros (8 GB / 256 GB) in Spain.

New mid-range smartphone from Samsung, the Galaxy A52 5G has the difficult task of succeeding the enormous success of its predecessor. Challenge met ? We will see it in this full test.
