The Samsung Galaxy A52 5G isn’t going to blow you away with top-end specs or a remarkably affordable price, but it’s still a solid choice for a mid-range handset that can compete with the likes of the Google Pixel 4a.

Solidly built, A good display, Decent battery life

Mediocre power, Extra cameras are only okay, Lacks exciting features

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

Great value, bright OLED display, surprisingly good camera quality, microSD slot, headphone jack, IP67 rating for water resistance.

Not available on Verizon, only supports sub-6Ghz 5G for now, no zoom cam, charging is a bit sluggish, unexciting design.

Most features meet or exceed expectations. Great screen, good camera. Mostly quick and responsive. A little larger than I would ideally like.

Real happy with this phone battery lasts me 2 to 3 days before it needs charging.

Samsung's Galaxy A52 5G offers a good set of features at a mid-range (£/$350) price point.

Disappointing macro and depth cameras, Digital zoom only

The Galaxy A52 5G sweats on the details, with a fine 120Hz AMOLED display, an IP67-rated body, a competent OIS-laden camera and the promise of four years of security updates. There’s better value to be had, however, if not quite the same sense of security.

Excellent 120Hz AMOLED display, Decent camera with OIS, IP67 rating

Weak performance for the money, Unreliable fingerprint sensor, Uninspiring plastic design

Not as expensive as the S20 or S21 but still high-quality phone with great screen size, resolution and performance. The black finish is matte and it looks awesome!

It’s not the cheapest budget phone, but it will go the distance

Great screen with fast refresh rate, Good-quality stabilized main camera, Healthy device support with four years of security updates guaranteed

Plasticky body, Too many pre-downloaded apps and software with ads, Photos can look unnaturally saturated

More premium. The Galaxy A52 5G is an updated version of one of the most successful Samsung smartphones. It comes with a price hike, which puts it above the 400-Euro (~$480) mark for the first time. Read our review to learn why it is still worth every cent.
