Samsung Galaxy A52s 5G: First impression

Recently, Samsung unveiled the company's premium mid-range phone Galaxy A52s in India.

The new Galaxy A52s 5G comes in two variants-- 6GB RAM + 128GB storage and 8GB RAM + 128GB storage-- for Rs 35,999 and Rs 37,499, respectively.

. I spent some time with Samsung's new phone and here are my initial thoughts on the Galaxy A52s.

. Design and display The Galaxy A52s 5G retains the beautiful design language of the original A52 4G-LTE model. It flaunts a slim body profile with a smooth shell on the back.

. Our review unit - 'Awesome White' model features a frosted glass finish and it blends beautifully with the chromium rails around the edge. Also, most importantly repels fingerprint smudges.

. The camera module is placed finely on the top left corner with less protrusion. When placed on the flat table, the phone doesn't wobble much.

. Besides the Awesome White, Samsung also offers two other colour options--Awesome Black, and Awesome Violet. They too look lovely.

. On the front, it sports a 6.5-inch full HD+ (1080×2400p) super AMOLED screen with an Infinity-O display design.

. Like the other premium phones, the Galaxy A52s also supports a 120Hz refresh rate and offers up to 800 nits brightness. This promises a better viewing experience while browsing the internet, and reading messages in the outdoors. Also, the high refresh rate of the screen will enhance the gaming experience.

. It also features an in-display fingerprint sensor and hybrid dual-SIM slots (nano SIM-1 + nano SIM-2 or microSD card). The former has so far worked well in terms of recognising the finger impression and unlock the screen.

. Camera The Galaxy A52s 5G houses a feature-rich quad-camera module-- main 64MP (f/1.8, OIS: Optical Image Stabiliser) backed by 12MP (f/2.2) ultra-wide angle sensor, a 5MP depth sensor and a 5MP (f/2.2) macro camera with LED flash. And, on the front, it features a 32MP (f/2.2) front snapper.

. It takes pretty good photos in the sunlight. In the early morning, I took the pictures and they have managed to capture a good amount of details. The colours are a bit warmer than natural, but, they look better and worthy to be posted on social media platforms.

. So far, the photography hardware has fared well. But, I am very keen to see how the camera fares in low light conditions.

. Processor configuration Under-the-hood, it comes with a 6nm class Qualcomm Snapdragon 778G octa-core processor backed by Adreno 642L GPU, 6GB / 8GB LPDDR4X RAM, 128GB UFS 2.1 storage (expandable up to 1TB), and Android 11-based Samsung One UI 3.1 OS.

. This is good enough for the phone to perform smoothly in terms of day-to-day tasks. But, it needs to be tested more on how the phone will perform while playing games. Do come back for the full review next week.

. Also, the Galaxy A52s supports 12 5G bands-- N1, N3, N5, N7, N8, N20, N28, N38, N40, N41, N66, and N78.

. The Galaxy A52s houses a 4,500mAh battery and It is good enough to keep the phone running for a whole day under normal usage. The company offers a 25W Type-C fast charger in-box.
