Design and Display
The word “Repetitive” has in the past few years lingered in the smartphone space, mainly in the mid-range to low-end category.
It turns out Samsung isn’t out, as they have also delivered stalemates in recent times. The situation with the Samsung Galaxy A52s and the regular Galaxy A52 is a very clear example.
For starters, both smartphones look identical, which is due to the repeated design. It’s basically the same slab on the front and on the back.
Taking off with the rear, you will find the same slightly bumped camera module, where you will find cameras and an LED flash. Beneath on the rear, is the Samsung branding, which indicates it’s a Samsung smartphone.
Flipping the Samsung Galaxy A52s 5G to get a front view, reveals the same 6.5-inches AMOLED display with a punch-hole camera in the top middle position. This display is based on a Super AMOLED panel, it has a resolution of 1080 x 2400 Pixels, a density of approx 405 PPI, and a 120Hz refresh rate.
Enthusiasts in the market for this device will have four colour options and they include Awesome Black, Awesome White, Awesome Purple and Awesome Mint.

On the selfie side, we have a single 32MP camera with an aperture of f/2.2. This camera also shoots videos up to 4k @ 30fps.
Hardware and Software
On the performance side, the Samsung Galaxy A52s 5G rocks the Qualcomm Snapdragon 778 5G processor, which falls in place as a more capable processor when compared to the Snapdragon 720G processor on the regular Galaxy A52.
What’s more, we have the Adreno 642L GPU, 6GB / 8GB RAM options, 128GB / 256GB storage options, a non-removable 4500mAh Li-Po battery and a 25W fast charge mechanism.
