The Galaxy A50 and Galaxy A70 models from 2019 opened a new path for Samsung’s mid-range devices in Israel, and they were replaced by the Galaxy A51 and Galaxy A71 models in 2020, they also continued the success that began. Now, Samsung is revealing the successors of these in names Galaxy A52, Galaxy A52 5G and Galaxy A72 With screens with a high refresh rate and resistance to water and dust.
Galaxy A52 / A52 5G
The pair of smaller siblings in the series are the Galaxy A52 and Galaxy A52 5G, both of which come with a 6.5-inch screen, with a Super AMOLED panel, Full HD + resolution and a layout of 2400 by 1080 pixels. The pixel density on the screen is 407 pixels per inch, as the refresh rate changes and adds up At 90 Hz For the regular model And at 120 Hz For the A52 5G model.
Under the hood is the Snapdragon 720G chipset in the regular model, while the A52 5G model will be based on the Snapdragon 750G chipset. The difference between the two comes down to running frequencies and cores, so while the Snapdragon 720G uses Kryo 465 cores at a maximum frequency of 2.2 GHz, the Snapdragon 750G uses Kryo 570 cores with a maximum frequency of 2.2 GHz.

The multiplicity of tasks in the devices is also slightly different, and with the regular model we can enjoy 4/6 or 8 GB of working memory, along with a storage capacity of 128 or 256 GB that can be expanded via a memory card. In contrast, the A52 5G is offered in 6 or 8 GB versions of working memory, alongside 128 or 256 GB of expandable storage. The battery that runs both comes in a capacity of 4500 mAh, Which is charged through a 25-watt USB Type-C connector.

The rear camera includes a 64-megapixel main sensor, with an f / 1.8 aperture key, autofocus support and arrival with built-in optical stabilization (OIS). The secondary sensor in the array comes with a resolution of 12 megapixels, with support for wide-angle photography, an f / 2.2 aperture key and no autofocus support. The pair of additional sensors come in 5 megapixel resolution, with an f / 2.4 aperture key and are designed for depth collection and macro photography. The front-facing selfie camera offers a resolution of 32 megapixels, with an f / 2.2 aperture key and a pixel size of 0.8 micrometers.
The other features of the two include the Android 11 operating system, along with the One UI 3 user interface that dresses above. The structure of the devices is resistant to water and dust to the standard IP67, So you can walk around with them in the rain without worry. However, both support NFC and Bluetooth 5.0 with Dual Audio technology, so we can connect the smartphone to two devices simultaneously and listen through both. In the security segment, we will be able to quickly unlock the device using a fingerprint scanner located below the display.
Galaxy A72
The bigger brother in the series is the Galaxy A72, and it comes with a screen size 6.7 inches, With Super AMOLED panel, Full HD + resolution and 2400 by 1080 pixels. The pixel density amounts to 394 pixels per inch, while the refresh rate is 90 Hz and here too we can find a camera hole at the top of the screen and a fingerprint scanner below before the display.
The performance part of the device is based on the Snapdragon 720G chipset similar to the Galaxy A52, which is manufactured in an 8-nanometer process and includes 8 cores at a maximum frequency of 2.3 GHz. Along with it, we will have access to 6 or 8 GB of working memory, along with 128 or 256 GB of expandable storage via a memory card. The operating system here is Android 11, with the One UI 3 user interface on it.
The device’s main array consists of a central sensor with a resolution of 64 megapixels, with an f / 1.8 aperture key, support for optical stabilization (OIS) and autofocus. The secondary sensor is also identical to its smaller sibling, and it comes with a 12-megapixel resolution for wide-angle photography, with an f / 2.2 aperture key and a pixel size of 1.12 micrometers. The third sensor is designed to perform optical zoom up to 3 times, and it comes in 8 megapixel resolution, with built-in optical stabilization (OIS), f / 2.4 aperture key and autofocus support.

The fourth and almost last sensor in the entire array offers access to 5 megapixel resolution, with an f / 2.4 aperture key, a pixel size of 1.12 micrometers and its function is to enable macro photography. The device’s selfie camera is also the same as its smaller sibling, so here’s a 32-megapixel camera, with an f / 2.2 aperture key, a pixel size of 0.8 micrometers and no autofocus support.
The entire array will be powered by a battery in capacity 5000 mAh, Which is charged through a 25-watt USB Type-C connector. Along with it, there is also support for Bluetooth 5.0 with Dual Audio, NFC chip, water and dust resistance in the IP67 standard, stereo speakers that are also in the A52 models and are adapted by AKG and without a headphone jack.
