Looking at it in comparison to other phones in its own price bracket it also holds up well. It’s not the best at everything, with the OnePlus Nord offering more power and phones from Chinese brands often charging faster, for example, but from the screen to the cameras, battery, build and beyond,...

Excellent 120Hz screen, Good quad-lens camera, Great value

No wireless charging, Plastic back, No telephoto camera

With 5G connectivity, a 120Hz display and solid performance, the Galaxy A52 5G is Samsung’s best-value smartphone yet

Almost half the price of Galaxy S21, Excellent 120Hz display, Huge performance uplift

Slightly cheap design, Chunky bezels

This is the one if you want the flagship experience without spending flagship money

6.7-inch HD+ screen, 120Hz display panel, Flagship-like Samsung OneUI experience with the latest Android, Built-in speakers are well above average quality, loud, Screen, internal components, and performance are nearly flagship snappy, Great cameras under most lighting without fiddling with extra...

Plastic build, Carrier versions are summarily bloated, Camera saturation and light-handling could use some work

While it's a shame that picture and sound quality haven't been upgraded, the iPhone 13 was great in these regards and the iPhone 14 is, too Excellent display Admirable headphone performance Solid build quality No upgrades to picture or sound Familiar design Notch is still present

Apple's latest non-Pro iPhone is superb - it's just that it's strikingly similar to last year's effort.

Still an incredible smartphone, Brilliant battery life gets a bit better, Excellent camera system gets a bit better

Last year’s Pro hardware, Wireless charging slow by modern standards, No USB-C; it’s now well overdue

This is the latest Samsung offering to cross my desk, my unit has a matt sky blue back, a shiny slightly darker blue sides and a very shiny front. There are a vertical line of three cameras top left of the back and a forth camera and LED flash beside these.

“The excellent Samsung Galaxy A52 5G pulls off a clever trick -- it looks great, does everything you need, takes good photos, and has two-day battery life, but keeps a reasonable price tag.”

Colorful, 120Hz screen, Two-day battery life, Camera takes shareable photos, IP67 water resistance

Useless fingerprint sensor

The Samsung Galaxy A52 5G is an Android handset with an excellent main camera, it has a large display with a 120Hz refresh rate, water-resistance and a long-lasting 4,500mAh battery. Granted its performance won’t blow you away but you get what you pay for there.

5G support, 120Hz FHD+ display, 64MP main camera is excellent

Thick design, 10x digital zoom is very grainy, Slower than expensive handsets

The Samsung Galaxy A52 5G is an easy recommendation if you’re not bowled over by the flashier flagships and their high prices.

Great screen, Long battery life, Years of support, OIS is welcome

Design is a bit basic, Secondary cameras aren’t good

Samsung's Galaxy A52 5G offers a good set of features at a mid-range (£/$350) price point. A distinctive chassis design with a nice matte finish to the backplate, IP67 dust/water resistance, a 3.5mm headset jack and 6GB of RAM plus 128GB of internal storage give it broad appeal, with dual SIM, 5G...

120Hz Super AMOLED display, Distinctive design, IP67 rating for dust/water resistance, MicroSD card slot and 3.5mm headset jack, Good primary 64MP camera with OIS
