The release of the [Samsung Galaxy A51](https://www.mondo.co.za/devices/samsung-galaxy-a51) last year was a resounding success for the South Korean giant and with the A52, it looks like Samsung has another hit on its hands in 2021!
__Under the Hood__
Released together with the [Galaxy A32](https://www.mondo.co.za/devices/samsung-galaxy-a32-5g-64gb-awesome-black) and [A72](https://www.mondo.co.za/devices/samsung-galaxy-a72-5g-128gb-awesome-black) in late March, the A52 shares many similarities with its sister smartphones. Fitted with latest software – Android 11, UI 3.1 and powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon 750G, it also features the much-desired 90Hz Super AMOLED display for fluid scrolling and high refresh rates. The A52 sports an internal storage capacity of 128GB and the option of between 4 and 8GB of RAM.
__Screen and Body__
The A52 comes in Awesome Black and three candy-like versions: Awesome Violet, Awesome Blue and Awesome White. At 6.5 inches, the A52’s screen size remains the same as its predecessor so, if you’re looking to upgrade, rest assured this is a lightweight and comfortable fit.
The A52 sports a brightness level of nearly 800 NITS and the Eye Comfort Shield that comes standard in newer Samsung models. It also boasts dual loudspeakers, which creates a surround-sound effect that will be especially pleasurable for anyone who prefers binge-watching their favourite shows from the comfort of their smartphones.
Good news for gamers - in addition to the fantastic sound, the A52 handles well when it comes to demanding titles and the phone’s touch response is a smooth and impressive experience.
__Camera__
Again, like it’s siblings, the A52’s camera is unique – both inside and out.
The cameras sit on an island which protrudes from the back casing unlike any of the pre-2021 A series versions. The camera specs stand out too – a slick 32 MP selfie camera that allows the subject to shine, a vibrant 64 MP rear camera, a 5 MP Macro camera, a 5 MP depth camera and a 12 MP Ultra-wide which produces photographs with a creative fish-eye effect.
__Battery__
If you’re always on the go and need a smartphone that can keep up with you, the A52 will not disappoint. The device has a 4 500 mAh battery that lasts up to two days and 15W fast charger capabilities that get you fully powered up and ready to go in a snap.
__Verdict__
If it’s versatility, durability and affordability with a touch of sleek style you’re looking for, the feature packed [Galaxy A52](https://www.mondo.co.za/devices/samsung-galaxy-a52-128gb-awesome-black) is the smartphone you’re looking for.
