Samsung Galaxy A52 Review with It's Pros & Cons

**Samsung Galaxy A52 Review: A Balancing Act of Features and Pricing**

It is clear that Samsung has made an effort to push some unnecessary apps with OTA updates, which may cause inconvenience for users. This trend, if not addressed, may become a recurring issue with future smartphones. On the other hand, Samsung's decision to provide a guarantee of three years of Android OS updates on this new smartphone is a positive step forward.

**Design and Build Quality**

One of the notable aspects of the Samsung Galaxy A52 is its design and build quality. The phone comes in a completely plastic pack, which may not appeal to those seeking a premium look. The reviewer feels that the camera module has scratches and nicks, making it prone to damage. Additionally, Samsung fails to provide a case in the box, leaving users with no option but to use a skin or case to protect their device.

**Performance and Processor**

The Samsung Galaxy A52 comes equipped with a Snapdragon 7G processor, which may not be the most powerful chip available in this price range. However, it is worth noting that the phone's predecessor, the Galaxy A51, came with an older Exynos 96 level processor, making the current model a significant leap forward.

**Haptics and Keyboard**

One of the peculiar aspects of the Samsung Galaxy A52 is the disabling of haptics on the default keyboard. This feature can be easily reinstated by installing the Google keyboard. The reviewer finds this move to be confusing and unnecessary, as it appears that the limitation lies with the software rather than the hardware.

**Charging and Battery Life**

The phone supports 25W fast charging, but the charger supplied in the box is only a 15W charger. This may not be sufficient for users who require faster charging speeds. The reviewer wonders why Samsung did not provide the higher-capacity charger, especially when competitors at similar price points offer faster charging options.

**5G Variant and Pricing**

The review highlights that one of the major omissions in the Galaxy A52's launch is the absence of a 5G variant in India. This omission may leave users with limited choices, as there are no options available for those seeking a 5G-enabled device at this price point.

**Conclusion**

In conclusion, the Samsung Galaxy A52 is a balanced mid-range smartphone that offers excellent camera performance and unique features such as IP67 water resistance. However, some aspects of its design and build quality may not appeal to users. Additionally, the haptics on the default keyboard are disabled by default, which can be easily reinstated. Overall, the phone's strengths outweigh its weaknesses, making it a solid choice for those seeking a well-rounded smartphone experience.

**A Word from Samsung**

Samsung's decision to provide three years of Android OS updates and four years of security updates is a significant step forward in terms of customer satisfaction. This move demonstrates the company's commitment to supporting its devices and ensuring that users receive timely updates, which can significantly impact the overall user experience.

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enhi guys this is ranjit and in this video we'll be doing the full review for the samsung galaxy a52 smartphone which i had unboxed a couple of weeks ago and i was not going to review this one but i got a lot of requests from you guys so i'm going to review it and i'll divide it between the pros and cons what do i like and what i did not like some weird cons this device has and certainly i would say in terms of pricing you have that samsung premium for this one uh this is priced at 26 500 but it's available for about 25 so certainly that heavy samsung premium and that a series premium that you have on this one and i've made some notes so let's go with that but before that let me actually talk about some of the points that you have most of you have asked about this specific smartphone and as i've told you guys definitely you're paying that samsung premium of that 20 25 or for this smartphone compared to other chinese smartphones in the market and again this is a cd smartphone so again you have that premium of that offline also because this is generally sold for offline markets uh so that's what we have and this has a super amoled screen and some of you have also asked is this a 5g smartphone and the answer is no this is a 4g smartphone the variant that is sold in india comes with a snapdragon 720 gsoc which is a 4g there is also a 5g variant of this one that comes with snapdragon 750g but samsung has not launched that model yet in india i don't know if they'll launch it but this is not a 5g variant lastly some of you have also asked me about samsung pay yes this does have samsung pay guys but the thing is that and yes it also has nfc support but it does not have mst so now let's quickly divide it between the pros and cons and guys here are the specs i've already covered the physical overview other aspects in the unboxing video so if you want to know more again check out the unboxing video in fact i've also included a lot of camera samples because i feel the camera is actually pretty good on this one so i'll leave the link of my unboxing in the description so let's break it down with pros and cons let's talk about the pros first and uh the first thing that i liked about is the amulet screen on this and again guys this is a samsung smartphone so you know the screen quality is actually really good on this one punchy good amoled screen and the thing is that this is actually now a 90 hertz uh panel uh and as you can see if you go to this motion smoothing you can set it to high it goes to 90 hertz refresh the default is 60 and guys i did all my testing only on this 90 hertz i did not test it on 60hz so it's nice to see they are giving it yes i know some other vendors are giving 120 but this is a big leap for samsung because samsung in the mid-range are never used to give beyond 60 hertz on their amulet screen so it's a good amoled screen and another thing is that we also have a proper true always on on this one and we also have that in display fingerprint scanner in display fingerprint scanner uh performance is actually decent guys but again there is a half a second delay but much more improved than earlier some of the phones that i've seen with samsung so we have that i actually prefer the side mounted fingerprint scanner but as you see uh this works and this always on display is also there and guys regarding the battery i did all my testing with this always on display so when i share my battery stats do note of that if you disable this you might get even better battery life so anyways screen quality is good and now let's talk about the call quality on this one and this is important because recently i was testing some of the redmi smartphones and specifically on the redmi note 10 pro i said in my review i had a huge problem with the proximity sensor when we were taking calls fortunately that issue is not there on this one call quality was very good and the screen doesn't go crazy when you are taking calls in that area i feel samsung has done a good job in the basics i would say these are some of the basics of the smartphone that was done good and i tested here in hyderabad that airtel as well as jio no issues of call quality the earpiece is good and again the speaker is also good speakers are actually stereo speakers on this one let me actually uh give you an idea about the stereo speakers again just having namesake stereo speakers is not good if they are not balanced we have seen in some of the cheaper android phones they give stereo speakers but the thing is that 80 of the volume comes from one side other side only 20 comes so it's simply not good experience fortunately here it's not the case i'm going to increase the volume and i'm going to block this so the sound as you can see it's coming from here and i'm going to block this so it's about 60 of the sound comes from this one and 40 comes from this one but again it has quite a bit of white sound stage so i feel uh the speakers are good i wish it went even louder but for stereo speakers i would say it is done well on this smartphone in fact i was watching some netflix shows and stuff uh the stereo separation was actually pretty good uh coming to netflix some of you have also asked me i have actually taken a screenshot so let me show that to you yes uh it does have that wide wide l1 support so it plays that hd content in netflix as well as on amazon but for some strange reason hdr compatibility it says no which is a bummer guys and i hope sam fixes this with an update because the quality of the amoled screen is actually pretty good when i was watching videos and stuff it was very punchy and stuff so i hope they enable the hdr functionality with an update if they can do that uh but yeah white wine l1 support was there now coming to the next thing is regarding another thing as i told you call quality was good and i also took a lot of calls over voice over wi-fi that's becoming very important and in that aspect also very good so in terms of call quality no issues with this no proximity sensor issues very practical didn't have problems with even very long calls that for over 20 25 minutes so that is a good thing uh next thing is regarding the memory management and guys this comes in two variants six gigabytes of ram and eight gigabytes i have this one that's the sixth one and i would say the memory management is done very well on this uh these are some of the apps that i opened in the morning and they are still in memory as you can see so that way i would say it works very well memory management is good and some of the apps like truecaller etc also reside in memory so in terms of memory management it doesn't have the tendency to boot out apps very quickly like many of the uh what do you say other smartphones especially chinese for smartphones let me do that they boot out apps very quickly at memory that was not the case on this one so in that way i would say it's good and also in terms of ui lenses samsung pay in terms of ui it handles the ui fine uh i would say no issues with that and it's a fluid experience snapdragon 720 g i wish it was 732 or something but in day to day activities it's fine and this comes with the new uh one ui uh three uh and as you can see i like that on the left now you finally have the google paint i always like this when vendors do that instead of putting their crap on the left pane so this is way more functional i would say and works and i would say uh in fluidity the ui is fluid guys no issues you have the typical samsung ui uh if you have used any samsung smartphone and yes as i've told you nfc is also there on uh this one uh next thing is uh regarding the uh what do you say uh things that are a little bit different on this one and generally we don't find it mid-range this one is ip67 that means it's waterproof in fact i poured water on this one and nothing happened as you can see i put that about a couple of weeks ago still it's perfectly working and also in terms of camera it has optical image stabilization so that is actually a good thing i also played call of duty on this one and it could play it fine even with the very high graphics settings no issues with call of duty so gaming is a good experience but i would say strictly it's not a highly gaming centric smartphone yes the processor 720 g handles games fine but if you're sort of a hardcore gamer you could get the poco x3 pro for a lot less price if you are a hardcore neighbor yes but call of duty i had actually a good experience and also in terms of heating this phone does not heat up that much with the regular usage yes with gaming it get got slightly warm here but that's normal but in regular usage i did not have an issue of excessive heating or anything like that uh let's talk about the battery life on this one uh this one has a 4500mah battery and i would say it gets actually pretty good battery life because of the snapdragon 720 g this is a very optimized processor and it's very frugal in terms of battery life that way the idle drain is very low on this one and as i've told you guys i did all my battery testing with this always on screen like this so if you disable it you might get even better battery life and in terms of screen on time i was getting anywhere about six hours uh to about six and a half half hours of screen on time with this one with the typical full days of using at the end of the day i was always having about 20 to 25 battery life left on this one so battery life is good but it's not a two day battery life and guys i was using it on the 90 hertz with that always on so if you disable that maybe you'll get slightly better battery life but for most users i would say regular uses battery life is not an issue but uh one thing i don't like is and i think so i i'll talk about that in the cons so let's talk about the camera on this one okay we have the quad camera set up on this the main camera is a 64 megapixel and we have optical image stabilization then we have a 12 megapixel that's ultra wide then we have the two uh not two five five megapixel ultrawide and what is a macro and depth cameras front is 32 and guys here are some of the samples that have taken with this smartphone and i have also shown some of the samples in my unboxing video and as you can see the camera performance is a big standout i would say uh compared to many of the smartphones in this price range specifically and i think so that's thanks to the optical image stabilization even the human skin tones were produced very well and i also like the fact that ultra wide which generally gets distorted or has darker shades when you compare it with the regular lens that is not the case so in terms of camera i would say they have done a really good job and even in indoor lighting and not in that great lighting situation i felt the camera did actually really good job in this one so i would certainly say the rear camera is one of the big highlights of this one and i think so big part of that is due to the optical image stabilization that this smartphone has and 64 megapixel is actually pretty good i would say now i'm going to the front facing camera it's a 32 megapixel front facing camera and outdoor snaps actually came out decent as you can see uh but i felt that indoor lighting conditions it could be optimized a little bit because i got a little bit of shake and slight softness in indoor lighting with the front-facing camera so guys these were the things that i liked on the smartphone now let's move to the cons and my god some very typical cons i don't know what sampling is doing okay the first thing is as i've told you guys not an issue it comes with one ui and all these things if you go over here if you go to software information it has the one ui 3.1 so that's the latest one and android version is 11 so that's not a problem but the thing is that as this is a mid-range smartphone samsung has started doing this with the m series and even this a series is the introduction of ads and that is very very irritating when you set up the phone if you're not careful you will get ads and stuff and even uh what you say on the wallpaper like this you will get so be very careful when you're setting up the smartphone in fact watch the video that i posted on the unboxing video of the galaxy m12 there i showed you how to actually set up the phone because if you don't do it properly you'll get that but even after doing that samsung does not stop and this is getting very irritating and if you notice here it's constantly prompting me for this uh thing known as app cloud and you just can't just wipe this away and go and if you tap on this see what will happen this is further inclusion of ads and stuff here discover great apps i don't want this so i i just say i love i'm just going to hit continue but still it's going to say optimize and prompt you for this rubbish and if you just agree install it'll install a bucket load of rubbish to you so i'm just taking it out but because of that the stupid icon will again come over here and also we have this galaxy store i don't know it keeps on prompting i don't want to use it i didn't even use my samsung account but it still keeps you prompting of this one again i would suggest not to use the samsung account and just use the google play store to install your apps so these are some of the things that i've noticed another thing that i've noticed is that in the weather app if you come here right now it's not showing me the ad guys but it did show me ad earlier i actually took a screenshot so let me show you yes okay here as you can see this is the weather app and i'm getting an ad over here so these are some of the things that are happening and also this my galaxy app you can disable it but this my galaxy app also keeps sending you actually unnecessary notifications and i would suggest that you go over the notification here and by default it is on you just block it so i don't like this trend of samsung introducing this nag wear within the phone and some of the ads that are coming up in weather app and stuff like that and i don't know about the update situation on this one but i've seen that some of the m series phones when they are getting ota updates a lot of junk apps are getting installed for example i did not install some of the junk apps but as you can see these junk apps were installed on this you can uninstall it but it is there and samsung is now kind of pushing these uh unnecessary apps with ota update so that might also be an issue with this smartphone so be careful after roti update you might have to manually uninstall so i'm not not liking this trend what samsung is doing and they should really tone this down uh next thing is regarding the back i've also mentioned about this in my unboxing video and guys this is a completely plastic pack and i feel it does not look that premium i would say and because it's a plastic bag i don't know if the camera can capture it you already have got some scratches and nicks so again you have to be very careful and samsung does not even provide a case in the box so if you're buying the smartphone put a skin or put a case i would say because this will definitely get scratches and i would say yes plastic is more durable if it falls it won't crack like glass but i feel samsung could have put something like glass stick what they used to put it used to feel like glass uh definitely that felt a lot more premium there's this plain jane looking plastic this might be just me but this is what i have noticed uh we are getting the snapdragon 7 g processor on this not a bad processor but for this price they could have given the snapdragon 732g uh but yeah this is what we are getting and i think so we shouldn't complain because the samsung galaxy a51 actually came with the old exynos 96 level so it's a big leap for samsung but still yeah that's what we are uh getting and next thing is very silly on this smartphone and i don't know why samsung does this haptics are there on this the vibration motor and everything is there on this smartphone guys but the default samsung keyboard that we get on that haptics are actually disabled and you can easily get that back what i did is i just installed the google keyboard and now i have haptics back so i have a person who loves haptics while typing so if you want it back you can easily get it back with the g board but i don't get it why samsung are you disabling that functionality with the default keyboard so these are some of the silly things that samsung is doing it on the smartphone it's not the limitation of the hardware they're trying to do it via software so i don't like that as i've told you guys uh this smartphone supports 25 watt of fast charging but the charger supplied in the box is just a 15 watt charger so i don't get it when the competition at a lower price is giving way faster charges like 33 watts etc samsung should have actually provided that 25 watt charger so guys these were some of the cons that i have noticed with this smartphone and i feel um samsung should have also launched the 5g variant of the smartphone in india yes i know it would have been priced a little bit more almost close to about 30 000 typical samsung pricing i would say but that would have given a consumer a choice if they wanted the 4g variant they could have gone with this one if they wanted that 5g variant that could have paid the premium but they didn't launch that and i don't know if they will launch that 5g variant in future so these are some of the things that i have noticed with this smartphone but overall i would say and before that one thing that i really like with the some of the new samsung smartphones and we have to upload that is now samsung is guaranteeing three years of android os updates on this new smartphone and that is applicable even to this one so right now it's on android 11 it will get 12 13 and 14 so that way i would say it's a very good thing because many of the vendors after two years they just forget about the smartphone this will not only get three years of android updates but four years of android security updates and i think so that's a big deal and it's the right move that samsung is doing so we have to upload samsung for that and overall i would say if i have to summarize this smartphone i would say overall it's a very good balanced mid-range smartphone with excellent camera performance because of that optical image stabilization and also you get some unique things like that ip67 water proofing uh which is generally not found on this price range but certainly you are paying that samsung premium for the same so guys that was my review for the samsung galaxy a52 what do you guys think about the same guys if you're still not subscribed to the youtube channel hit that subscribe button a lot more reviews are coming soon in the next couple of weeks so again stay tuned for that anyways guys that's it for now thanks for watching and uh if you aren't subscribed hit that subscribe button and guys take care catch you laterhi guys this is ranjit and in this video we'll be doing the full review for the samsung galaxy a52 smartphone which i had unboxed a couple of

tested here in hyderabad that airtel as well as jio no issues of call quality the earpiece is good and again the speaker is also good speakers are actually stereo speakers on this one let me actually uh give you an idea about the stereo speakers again just having namesake stereo speakers is not good if they are not balanced we have seen in some of the cheaper android phones they give stereo speakers but the thing is that 80 of the volume comes from one side other side only 20 comes so it's simply not good experience fortunately here it's not the case i'm going to increase the volume and

netflix shows and stuff uh the stereo separation was actually pretty good uh coming to netflix some of you have also asked me i have actually taken a screenshot so let me show that to you yes uh it does have that wide wide l1 support so it plays that hd content in netflix as well as on amazon but for some strange reason hdr compatibility it says no which is a bummer guys and i hope sam fixes this with an update because the quality of the amoled screen is actually pretty good when i was watching videos and stuff it was very punchy and stuff so i hope they enable the hdr functionality with an update if they can do that uh but yeah white wine l1 support was there now coming to the next thing is regarding another thing as i told you call quality was good and i also took a lot of calls over voice over wi-fi that's becoming very important and in that aspect also very good so in terms of call quality no issues with this no proximity sensor issues very practical didn't have problems with even very long calls that for over 20 25 minutes so that is a good thing uh next thing is regarding the memory management and guys this comes in two variants six gigabytes of ram and eight gigabytes i have this one that's the sixth one and i would say the memory management is done very well on this uh these are some of the apps that i opened in the morning and they are still in memory as you can see so that way i would say it works very well memory management is good and some of the apps like truecaller etc also reside in memory so in terms of memory management it doesn't have the tendency to boot out apps very quickly like many of the uh what do you say other smartphones especially chinese for smartphones let me do that they boot out apps very quickly at memory that was not the case on this one so in that way i would say it's good and also in terms of ui lenses samsung pay in terms of ui it handles the ui fine uh i would say no issues with that and it's a fluid experience snapdragon 720 g i wish it was 732 or something but in day to day activities it's fine and this comes with the new uh one ui uh three uh and as you can see i like that on the left now you finally have the google paint i always like this when vendors do that instead of putting their crap on the left pane so this is way more functional i would say and works and i would say uh in fluidity the ui is fluid guys no issues you have the typical samsung ui uh if you have used any samsung smartphone and yes as i've told you nfc is also there on uh this one uh next thing is uh regarding the uh what do you say uh things that are a little bit different on this one and generally we don't find it mid-range this one is ip67 that means it's waterproof in fact i poured water on this one and nothing happened as you can see i put that about a couple of weeks ago still it's perfectly working and also in terms of camera it has optical image stabilization so that is actually a good thing i

but call of duty i had actually a good experience and also in terms of heating this phone does not heat up that much with the regular usage yes with gaming it get got slightly warm here but that's normal but in regular usage i did not have an issue of excessive heating or anything like that uh let's talk about the battery life on this one uh this one has a 4500mah battery and i would say it gets actually pretty good battery life because of the snapdragon 720 g this is a very optimized processor and it's very frugal in terms of battery life that way the idle drain is very low on this one and as i've told you guys i did all my battery testing with this always on screen like this so if you disable it you might get even better battery life and in terms of screen on time i was getting anywhere about six hours uh to about six and a half half hours of screen on time with this one with the typical full days of using at the end of the day i was always having about 20 to 25 battery life left on this one so battery life is good but it's not a two day battery life and guys i was using it on the 90 hertz with that always on so if you disable that maybe you'll get slightly better battery

you tap on this see what will happen this is further inclusion of ads and stuff here discover great apps i don't want this so i i just say i love i'm just going to hit continue but still it's going to say optimize and prompt you for this rubbish and if you just agree install it'll install a bucket load of rubbish to you so i'm just taking it out but because of that the stupid icon will again come over here and also we have this galaxy store i don't know it keeps on prompting i don't want to use it i didn't even use my samsung account but it still keeps you prompting of this one again i would suggest not to use the samsung account and just use the google play store to install your apps so these are some of the things that i've noticed another thing that i've noticed is that in the weather app if you come here right now it's not showing me the ad guys but it did show me ad earlier i actually took a screenshot so let me show you yes okay here as you can see this is the weather app and i'm getting an ad over here so these are some of the things that are happening and also this my galaxy app you can disable it but this my galaxy app also keeps sending you actually unnecessary notifications and i would suggest that you go over the notification here and by default it is on you just block it so i don't like this trend of samsung introducing this nag wear within the phone and some of the ads that are coming up in weather app and stuff like that and i don't know about the update situation on this one but i've seen that some of the m series phones when they are getting ota updates a lot of junk apps are getting installed for example i did not install some of the junk apps but as you can see these junk apps were installed on this you can uninstall it but it is there and samsung is now kind of pushing these uh unnecessary apps with ota update so that might also be an issue with this smartphone so be careful after roti update you might have to manually uninstall so i'm not not liking this trend what samsung is doing and they should really tone this down uh next thing is regarding the back i've also mentioned about this in my unboxing video and guys this is a completely plastic pack and i feel it does not look that premium i would say and because it's a plastic bag i don't know if the camera can capture it you already have got some scratches and nicks so again you have to be very careful and samsung does not even provide a case in the box so if you're buying the smartphone put a skin or put a case i would say because this will definitely get scratches and i would say yes plastic is more durable if it falls it won't crack like glass but i feel samsung could have put something like glass stick what they used to put it used to feel like glass uh definitely that felt a lot more premium there's this plain jane looking plastic this might be just me but this is what i have noticed uh we are getting the snapdragon 7 g processor on this not a bad processor but for this price they could have given the snapdragon 732g uh but yeah this is what we are getting and i think so we shouldn't complain because the samsung galaxy a51 actually came with the old exynos 96 level so it's a big leap for samsung but still yeah that's what we are uh getting and next thing is very silly on this smartphone and i don't know why samsung does this haptics are there on this the vibration motor and everything is there on this smartphone guys but the default samsung keyboard that we get on that haptics are actually disabled and you can easily get that back what i did is i just installed the google keyboard and now i have haptics back so i have a person who loves haptics while typing so if you want it back you can easily get it back with the g board but i don't get it why samsung are you disabling that functionality with the default keyboard so these are some of the silly things that samsung is doing it on the smartphone it's not the limitation of the hardware they're trying to do it via software so i don't like that as i've told you guys uh this smartphone supports 25 watt of fast charging but the charger supplied in the box is just a 15 watt charger so i don't get it when the competition at a lower price is giving way faster charges like 33 watts etc samsung should have actually provided that 25 watt charger so guys these were some of the cons that i have noticed with this smartphone and i feel um samsung should have also launched the 5g variant of the smartphone in india yes i know it would have been priced a little bit more almost close to about 30 000 typical samsung pricing i would say but that would have given a consumer a choice if they wanted the 4g variant they could have gone with this one if they wanted that 5g variant that could have paid the premium but they didn't launch that and i don't know if they will launch that 5g variant in future so these are some of the things that i have noticed with this smartphone but overall i would say and before that one thing that i really like with the some of the new samsung smartphones and we have to upload that is now samsung is guaranteeing three years of android os updates on this new smartphone and that is applicable even to this one so right now it's on android 11 it will get 12 13 and 14 so that way i would say it's a very good thing because many of the vendors after two years they just forget about the smartphone this will not only get three years of android updates but four years of android security updates and i think so that's a big deal and it's the right move that samsung is doing so we have to upload samsung for that and overall i would say if i have to summarize this smartphone i would say overall it's a very good balanced mid-range smartphone with excellent camera performance because of that optical image stabilization and also you get some unique things like that ip67 water proofing uh which is generally not found on this price range but certainly you are paying that samsung premium for the same so guys that was my review for the samsung galaxy a52 what do you guys think about the same guys if you're still not subscribed to
