A lot of performance in response to expectations.
SAMSUNG's Galaxy A52 5G is the successor to Android, which was the first to sell last year, a mid -range A series star (slightly higher A72 has not been released in Japan and the United States).Recently, the number of people who spend time to change models is increasing, and if you buy it now, you may use it for 3-4 years, and the pressure will only increase, but the A52 5G has shown a stunning landing point in all functions, specifications and prices.increase.
Please give a first impression along with the points you noticed in the rough search!
Samsung Galaxy A52 5g
what are these?: Samsung midrange smartphone
Price: $ 500 (Japan's release price is 56,000 yen)
Favorite place: Cospa, bright organic EL display, amazing camera quality, microSD slot, headphone jack, IP67 equivalent dustproof and waterproof
I don't like it: So far, only 5g of sub 6 is supported, no zoom camera, charging is somewhat lively, and no play design
Smartphone that can be served for 50,000 yen
Galaxy A52 uses high -quality components while having a solid design, and has a high Galaxy S even a component that has not been installed.The display is 6.With a 5 -inch 90Hz amored, it has a resolution of 2,400 x 1,080, rich coloring, and brightness of up to 750 nits, which is very invisible to this price.120Hz OLED of high GALAXY S smartphone and dark LCD that is common in medium -priced smartphones.It's a middle -class feeling that fills the middle.
The display is equipped with a punch hole type 32 million pixel in -camera.
The inner fingerprint sensor is not an expensive ultrasonic type but an optical style, so at first I thought it was not as fast as I thought, but once I got used to it, it was weak in hand oil and dirt, but I usually use it normally.There is also a sense of stability.
The buttons are fully equipped with standard ones.On the right is a volume locker (fixed volume) and a lock button.Unlike the high model, the A52 still has a microSD card slot, so you can expand your storage, and the headphone jack is still on, so it feels like you can cover the built -in stereo speakers with this one.The above legacy equipment will be left in Samsung, this year's A series.If you don't want to hurry too much, maybe it's relieved.
The dustproof and waterproof performance are IP67 level (with a water depth of 1m and can withstand 30 minutes inundation).If you want to give a greed, you want a design element, but the US market is only black, and there is no color variety like other Samsung smartphones.The table is 5 gorilla glass, and the back is a glass stick (a polycarbonate plastic that looks like glass).
Sufficient processing power
Next, processing power.With a built -in SNAPDRAGON 720G processor, RAM starts at 6GB and storage is 128GB, so use any task!is.
The bench result (a lot of Geekbench 5 and 3DMark) is equal to Pixel 4a 5g, the largest enemy, and the game is a little weak.There was no visible difference in casual games like "GUNBOUND", but in "PUBG" and "Call of Duty Mobile", which are more loaded, you'll be somewhat hot, especially on optional graphics.Then.I thought this would be possible to overcome a little more RAM.Well, it's not a big problem.
why?Sub 6 only
A52 does not support 5G of millimeters.No matter which call carrier or store you buy.There is a possibility that it can not be used as long as a smartphone that supports both sub 6 and millimeters, so if you think about one or two years ahead, it is a little away.If you are particular about the 5g connection performance, the aim is to use Galaxy A42 in the same rank, S20 FE, and S21 and OnePlus 9 above it.
Surprising camera performance.But one problem
Unlike the old generation's smartphone, A52 has a great photo, and the camera composition itself is not so different (64MP main + 12MP ultra -wide -angle, 5MP telephoto macro, 5MP deep sensor), and Samsung image processing and main camera sensor can be mistaken.It has evolved moderately and realizes the same quality as Pixel 4A 5G in almost every scene.Moreover, the choice of lenses and functions is wide.
I tried to take a little wall art in NY, but except that the exposure is slightly brighter and the saturation is slightly insufficient, there is no much difference from pixel 5 (the main camera is common to Pixel 4a 5g).The first cobblestone road in the Galaxy A52 5G was called a dynamic range and a better detail, and I felt sharper than pixel 5.
The weaknesses of A52 are mainly in the dark.Samsung's night mode is not as strong as Google's night site.For example, as you can see from the photos of the night skate park, pixel 5 is more exposed and colored.There is no noise that comes out when the outline is sharpened like A52.A52 and pixel 5 have the same part of the telephoto camera, but Google's SUPER RES zoom is slightly sharper than A52, so A52 is not enough to rob Google, but this is not enough.It's the best camera in the price range.
I hope the charging is fast.
The battery is 4,500mAh.In the driving time test, I had 12 hours and 53 minutes.Pixel 4a 5G is 13 hours and 57 minutes, so it is one hour shorter than that, but it is longer than the current smartphone (12 hours and 25 minutes) and Galaxy S21 (12 hours 36 minutes).
What is more worrisome than the driving time is the charging time, and the A52 can charge up to 25W, but only the 15W charger is bundled.Not comparable, but it cannot be called rapid.In addition, since the wireless charging is not compatible, it is a feeling that you have to be consciously carefully charged.
Galaxy A52 vs pixel 4A 5g
A52 The biggest rival is Pixel 4A 5g, which is lined up at $ 500, but what you want from an excellent midrange smartphone is quite far apart.What Google wants is simple.Although the core function such as image quality, battery, and software, the other parts are clearly summarized with a unified design.There are only two back cameras, there are no waterproof and dustproof standards, and there are no microSD card slots, but there are some carriers that support both sub 6 and millimeters (the US representative is Verizon).
On the other hand, the Galaxy A52 5G is a serving of Max.Refresh rate 90Hz (pixel 4a 5g is up to 60Hz), 6.Things that can be served with mid -range smartphones, such as 5 inches, 4 back cameras, micro SD card slots, high -quality speakers, Inscreen fingerprint sensors, etc., are flourished.
Samsung has just committed to providing the OS once a monthly security update for three years, and the software support after purchase seems to be perfect.
Invincible cospa
A52 is almost everything for 500 -dollar -speech.The missing items are about 5g of double light zoom cameras, wireless charging support, millimeters, but either optical zoom camera and wireless charging are pixel 4A 5g, so you can't just because of Samsung.
I guess the most unsatisfactory in A52 is the individuality.It's a single color.This is fine for the design, but there is no Toki.Well, all other parts are covered with Samsung.A52 is a smartphone where you can enjoy the beautiful color of OLED in a spacious size.The battery has enough, you can use the storage extension, and you can insert headphones.What more you want with $ 500?A52 is the strongest smartphone in the midrange cospa.
