The new Samsung Galaxy A52 5G is an awesome mid-range android smartphone that packs a decent number of premium features for a $500 budget device. Below, we review its build, features, and specs to determine whether it’s a worthy purchase for you.
Design
Samsung’s Galaxy A52 5G is designed in a simplistic and sturdy housing with a height of 159.9mm, width of 75.1mm, a thickness of 8.4mm, and weighs 189g. It’s built with clean lines, sleek curves and a smooth matte finish that gives users a stable grip and makes finger smudges less glaring. You get to choose from the Galaxy A52 5G’s 3 simple but stylish colours: Awesome Black, Awesome Blue, and Awesome Violet.
The seamless design comes with a punch-hole selfie camera along with a minimalist rear camera housing that blends perfectly with the matte finish for an iconic look. The Samsung Galaxy A52 5G also comes with the standard set of volume rocker and lock buttons on the right. Even better, the design includes an IP67 dust and water resistance rating.
While the uncluttered design gives the Galaxy A52 5G a clean and upmarket look, some users find the plain matte finish and simple design unexciting. Don’t let the plain simplistic look fool you- the phone still packs a formidable punch in specs.
Display
The Samsung Galaxy A52 5G comes with an expansive next-gen 6.5-inch Infinity-O FHD+ Super AMOLED touch screen display for stunning graphics and a smooth scrolling experience.

Gaming
The Game Booster on the Galaxy A52 5G takes fantastic mobile gaming to a whole new level.

Our take: Is the Samsung Galaxy A52 5G right for you?
The Samsung Galaxy A52 5G features everything you’d fancy in a mid-budget smartphone- a solid design, stunning display, generous and expandable storage, powerful processor, decent battery life, and next-gen cameras. The only place it comes short is that it lacks a 2x optical camera zoom, full mmWave 5G compatibility, and wireless charging support. The phone also lacks personality as you can only choose from three block colours (Awesome Black, Awesome Blue, or Awesome Violet).
Nevertheless, the Galaxy A52 5G offers excellent performance and unbeatable value for a mid-range budget smartphone. This, along with Samsung’s recent commitment to provide monthly security patches and OS upgrades for 3 years, make the Galaxy A52 5G a worthy purchase for anyone looking for a high-performance mid-range smartphone.
