Samsung’s Galaxy A52s 5G is coming to replace the A52 5G, with a very similar technical sheet. The Snapdragon 750G gives way to the very recent Snapdragon 778G chip. This new model brings real improvements.
All in all, the Samsung Galaxy A52 5G update in the form of the Galaxy A52s is fully justified, especially since the former is gradually disappearing from the shelves. The optimization that accompanies its chipsets hits the mark, and allows the user, subject to accommodating the small weaknesses of the A52, particularly in terms of photography, to benefit from a mid-range smartphone cut out for gaming.
Strong points
- Quality finishes.
- Perfectly calibrated screen.
- Significantly higher performance than the Galaxy A52 5G.
- Good autonomy.
- IP67 waterproof certification.
Weak points
- Disappointing photo section.
- Charges in 1 hour 30 minutes.
NB: The reported price drop is calculated by comparing the lowest price of the day with the average of the lowest prices charged by all merchants for the product last month, with security rules to exclude prices from shops whose the VAT policy is not clear (known as “grey” shops, typically in the case of imports from China).
Alternatively
Google’s Pixel 6a does not demerit compared to Pixel 6 and 6 Pro. This smartphone, which is the “affordable” version, convinces with undeniable advantages: good quality screen, more than satisfactory performance and very controlled photo component. It also has the merit of being IP67 certified, borrowing this characteristic from high-end terminals. What’s missing is a bit faster charging, higher screen brightness and a more generous refresh rate. But at its launch price, few – or even no smartphones – manage to do as well to date, with the essential guarantee of ensuring long-term software monitoring.
