Starting with the Galaxy A52, there are two models: the standard A52 and a 5G variant. Both phones share the same hardware on the inside, with the refresh rate and 5G support being the only real differences. On the Galaxy A52, you get a 6.5-inch Super AMOLED display with a 90Hz screen refresh rate and 800nits peak brightness. The Galaxy A52 5G has the same 6.5-inch panel but pairs it with a 120Hz refresh rate.
On the back, we have four cameras arranged in a minimal camera housing. The primary shooter has been upgraded from 48MP to 64MP with OIS. However, the 12MP ultra-wide, 5MP depth, and macro lenses and the 32MP front are unchanged from the last model.
The Galaxy A52 is powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon 720G processor featuring 2x cores running at 2.3GHz frequency and 6x cores clocked at 1.8GHz clock-speed, coupled with 4GB/6GB/8GB RAM and 128GB/256GB storage. Meanwhile, the Galaxy A52 5G is fueled by the Snapdragon 750G processor.

Both phones pack a 4,500mAh battery, up from the 4,000mAh cell on the Galaxy A51. Rounding up the rest of the specifications are dual speakers powered by Dolby Atmos, an in-display fingerprint reader, microSD card slot, IP67 water and dust protection, and a 3.5mm audio jack. Samsung also promises 3 generations of OS upgrades and 4 years of security updates.
Pricing and Availability
The Galaxy A52 and Galaxy A52 5G come in Black, White, Blue, and Violet colors. The Galaxy A52 and Galaxy A52 5G go on sale in the UK and Europe starting today at a starting price of €349 and €429, respectively.

The Galaxy A52 5G is the latest mid-ranger from Samsung, bringing along features like a 6.5-inch Super AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate, the Snapdragon 750G SoC, a 64MP quad camera setup, IP67 water and dust resistance, and more, in an easy-to-handle polycarbonate body.
In India, the Galaxy A52 4G will be priced at ₹26,499 for the 6GB + 128GB variant, while the 8GB + 128GB variant will cost you ₹27,999. No information has been shared regarding the availability of the 5G variant, so we can presume so far that it will not come to India.
