Samsung Galaxy A52 gets August 2021 security update ahead of schedule
The Samsung Galaxy A52 is already getting the August 2021 security patch update ahead of schedule in select regions.
Getting regular security patch updates are vital to making smartphones last longer, particularly as new threats emerge in the realm of cybersecurity. That's why Google has the monthly security bulletin, the most recent of which was published at the start of July 2021. In these bulletins, Google details a number of security vulnerabilities and their fixes in that month's patch level, but it's up to device manufacturers to roll out updates with those patches. The gap between the publication of a security bulletin and the update rolling out can vary, but Samsung is typically ahead of the curve when it comes to this. Now, the SM-A525F variant of the Samsung Galaxy A52 (the 4G version) is already getting the August 2021 security update in Russia, Georgia, Ukraine, Kazakhstan, and Mongolia.
Samsung Galaxy A52 and A52s: Everything you need to know about Samsung's latest mid-rangers
Here's everything you need to know about Samsung's latest mid-rangers, the Galaxy A52 and the Galaxy A52 5G. Read on to learn more.
Samsung lifted the covers off three new Galaxy A series devices -- the Galaxy A52, Galaxy A52 5G, and the Galaxy A72 -- earlier this year.

In case you missed our previous coverage of the devices, here's everything you need to know about the Galaxy A52 4G, the Galaxy A52 5G, and the Galaxy A52s.
Does the Samsung Galaxy A52 support 5G?
The Samsung Galaxy A52 actually supports 5G, but the answer is a little complicated because of the existence of a separate 4G variant.
It may seem silly to ask the question whether the Samsung Galaxy A52 actually supports 5G -- after all, it’s even included in the name. But it’s important to note that not all 5G devices are the same. While the short and simple answer is yes, it does have 5G, there is much more nuance to it than that. Most carriers in the US will support the device and work perfectly with it, but you may need to adjust your expectations and expect different results, as opposed to seeing gigabit-speed downloads that you see in premium flagship devices. The situation is further complicated with the existence of the Galaxy A52 4G. We've extensively tested both, the Galaxy A52 5G (review) and the Galaxy A52 4G (review), so here's the nuance behind this simple question.

They both have large high refresh rate screens (90Hz on the 4G model, 120Hz on the 5G), fast Snapdragon 700-series chipsets, and capable cameras.
