The new Samsung Galaxy A52 is set to fill those big shoes. Unlike the Galaxy A51, which mostly brought software improvements over the Galaxy A50 and the Galaxy A50s, the Galaxy A52 comes with major improvements to the hardware, including a new display, better cameras, faster charging, and a separate 5G variant for select markets.
