The Samsung Galaxy A52 is a mid-range Android-based smartphone manufactured, developed and produced by Samsung Electronics as part of its Galaxy A series. It was announced on 17 March 2021 at the Samsung's virtual Awesome Unpacked event alongside the Galaxy A72. An upgraded variant of the 5G version, Galaxy A52s, was first released in August 2021.
The phone serves as a successor of the Galaxy A51. It is similar to its predecessor but features an upgraded 64 MP main camera, a larger-capacity 4500 mAh battery, and IP67 water- and dust-resistant design.
Specifications
Design The Galaxy A52 has a similar design to its predecessor, the Galaxy A51. It has an Infinity-O display with a selfie camera cutout and slim bezels, just like the A51. Unlike the A51, the A52 has matte color options rather than glossy gradient finishes.
The display is protected by Corning Gorilla Glass 5 while the frame and back panel are made of plastic. Both the LTE and 5G (including the 5G "s") variants share the same design and have IP67 water- and dust-resistance. Galaxy A52 (LTE/5G)Galaxy A52s
