Samsung Galaxy A52 Review: Too Good to be True?

The Galaxy A52 is Samsung's newest A-Series device. Despite its mid-range price tag, it still has flagship features like a high refresh rate display, a quad-camera setup, and great battery life. For about half the price of the Galaxy S21, is the A52 worth it?

*Note: these are international models of the phone. The US model has not been released yet.*

Imagine if they make their flagship models has the same features of the A series, bigger battery, a headphone jack and a expandable storage. People will get excited.

The reason i subscribe to yaur chanel is you are willing to see the non flagship Smartphones. Other youtuber ore mostly blinded by the glorious S21 Ultra which is right on their own, but you *acknowledge* the mid ranger the most people will end up buying. I applaud you and thank you for this.

I honestly love it that his actual phone is an I phone mini, most you tubers just go with the biggest one phone by the company, but it’s honestly nice seeing a YouTube use the I phone mini as his daily

I bought the A52 5g for £359 (with student discount usually £399) so I cant wait for it to arrive!

Very good competition in the mid-range segment. 25watt charging, micro, the jack, yep for the price, not too shabby, excellent review!

Got an awesome blue 8gb 168gb variant. It's excellent. What a joy to use! This review is spot on with the cameras as well but here's something worth mentioning: Pro mode and Pro video. Use it. Night time on a tripod or stand, play with shutter speed and iso settings and take some great astrophotography with it. Excellent device

[DariuszTech]

Absolutely great value for money phone. I was testing it for vlogging and it has blown my mind. 4k selfie camera and OIS makes is one of the best devices for video making.

Watching this on an A52. I can afford a flagship but this works well enough for me. The mid level phones are now same quality as high end. You're paying mostly for name and a sleeker design. And just a couple other features if you spend $400 more. Worth it? No.

I'm having a burn-in issue with my s10+ so I'm comsidering getting a52 instead of paying almost the same amount of money to fix the screen. Thanks for the review.

i've been using this phone (the 5g variant with a 120hz refresh rate and 6gb ram) for a few months and i have to say it's the best phone i've owned to this day, especially for the price. samsung really know how to make well-rounded devices. can't wait for this to get android 12!

[NoThxTV]

Dude, thanks for the review. Since I am reviewer as well and really liked your RGB backlight, I checked the description of the video, however the links provided get me only to Amazon, not to the specific product. Could you tell me the model ? Keep up the good work!

Hey Paul I like to share a comment about 4:30 the micro lens is actually quite desirable for work related pictures for engineers (like taking pictures of circuit boards printed information). I work in IT, and I very often use my phone as a tool to take pictures of barcodes or pictures of small technical info that can be found on the back of most hardware, yes I can use the regular lens but the focusing time is a hassle, with micro lens you don't have an issue focusing VERY close to small text, Micro is more of a working lens and is a desirable feature for some.

[korus]

I just got the 5g version it's cracked the camera is better, speakers are better, refresh rate is better. I have the Note 10 and I was surprised a phone for this price could beat a couple-year-old flagship. I would 100% recommend it.

[SmallEngineNut]

I remember watching your channel years ago. Your channel was called paul n tech or something. You have really matured. Great review! I plan on buying this phone, I need to upgrade from my aging S7.

The finger print sensor is different in S21 and A52 S21 has ultrasonic finger print sensor which more secure whereas A52 has optical finger print sensor which isn't as secure as what you get in S21.
