It was a shame when Samsung discontinued the A52 due to shortage with parts. I was skeptical with the A52s thinking it must be not nearly as good, but I was wrong! Yes the less RAM does hurt it in multitasking benchmarks, but the sheer speed of the processor far outpaces the original A52. The 120Hz display is the cherry on top! Only downside is now I'm addicted to mobile games lmao. Blue Archive, Azur Lane, CoD, Eternal Return and so on running superbly well. Even have some idle games in the background and it seamlessly switches between my games at once.

I needed to upgrade my phone and decided to stick with Samsung once again and pbtech had an amazing black Friday deal going so I swooped.. I'm so glad I did, I also brought the cable to do the peer to peer so the transfer from my old phone would go smoothly. And am really pleased I did. It was very quick and transferred everything - even the old text messages. The quickness of the A52s is amazing and it has lots of other little features. The family tried out the camera and were totally amazed at the zoon features it had. Every now and then it sends me little messages to try something new and these are pretty cool. I'm still getting used...view more

This phone has been very good so far, feels, and acts like a top-quality phone at a lower price. Very happy with the purchase.
