Samsung Galaxy A52s design
The Galaxy A52s is pretty much identical to its predecessor in terms of design. The phone has a polycarbonate back panel with a plastic frame. The frame has a smoky chrome finish, while the back panel has a matte white surface that feels like marble.
The matte plastic back panel is good at rejecting fingerprints and gives the phone a premium feel. A design element that stands out is the camera module, which protrudes slightly from the back but features a similar finish and colour. This makes the lens cut-outs stand out, and gives the phone a very modern appearance.
Unlike most smartphones in this segment, the Galaxy A52s has a 3.5mm headphone jack that is located at the bottom next to the USB Type-C port and the primary speaker. The phone’s earpiece sits in a fine slit between the display glass and the plastic frame that protects it. Apart from being used for calls, it does double duty as a secondary speaker.
Just like the Samsung Galaxy A52, the A52s has an IP67 rating for dust and water resistance. This is one of only a few smartphones that offer this premium feature, and as per Samsung, the phone can withstand submersion up to 1m in fresh water for up to 30 minutes.
The Galaxy A52s has a 6.5-inch full-HD Super AMOLED display with a cutout for the selfie camera. The display is made of Gorilla Glass 5 and is good at resisting smudges. The bezels appear a bit thicker than on most smartphones in the sub-Rs. 40,000 segment.
Samsung Galaxy A52s specifications and software
The Samsung Galaxy A52s uses Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 778G SoC. This mid-range processor is also found in Realme GT Master Edition and the Moto Edge 20, which are priced starting from Rs. 25,999 and Rs. 29,999 respectively. This processor isn’t underpowered in any way, but the Galaxy A52s will be compared against other sub-Rs. 40,000 smartphones such as the Realme GT and the Xiaomi Mi 11X Pro, which are powered by Qualcomm’s top-end Snapdragon 888 processor.
The Galaxy A52s offers up to 8GB of RAM and 128GB of storage. There is a hybrid dual-SIM tray which can accept microSD cards of up to 1TB. There’s support for Bluetooth 5, Dual-band Wi-Fi 6, NFC, and the usual set of navigation systems. While the phone has a 3.5mm headphone jack, there is no FM radio app.
Samsung’s One UI 3.1 runs the show on the Galaxy A52s. It’s based on Android 11 and features the recent August security patch. It’s heavily customised and comes loaded with several Samsung-branded as well as third-party apps. The third-party apps can be uninstalled if you don’t need them. Save for the occasional promotional notification from the Galaxy Store, these apps did not interfere with my software experience, which felt fluid and lag-free with regular use.
Samsung Galaxy A52s performance and battery life
The 6.5-inch Super AMOLED display has a 120Hz refresh rate, which is an upgrade from the 90Hz panel on the Galaxy A52. The 120Hz refresh rate is useful while playing fast-paced games, and the Super AMOLED panel with its deep blacks made video content look quite immersive, helped by sound from the stereo speakers. The display is good at rejecting fingerprints and is legible under direct sunlight. What I did miss with the Galaxy A52s is support for HDR10 while streaming video.
Samsung Galaxy A52s cameras
The Samsung Galaxy A52s has four rear cameras. This setup includes a 64-megapixel primary, a 12-megapixel ultra-wide, a 5-megapixel macro, and a 5-megapixel depth camera. Selfie duties are handled by a 32-megapixel front camera. The camera’s interface is typically Samsung, and has all the important controls accessible with a single tap. The camera modes can be customized as well. One detail to note is that the ultra-wide-angle camera only shoots video at 30fps at both 1080p and 4K resolutions.
