Top quality / price – The Samsung Galaxy A52s 5G Mint smartphone at €299.38

Samsung’s Galaxy A52s 5G comes as a replacement for 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 better performance than the Galaxy A52 5G.
• Good autonomy.
• IP67 waterproof certification.

Weak points

• Disappointing photo section.
• Charges in 1 hour 30 minutes.

Alternatively

Even if it is strongly inspired by the Xiaomi 11T Pro, this 11T manages to make a strength of its main difference, while being more affordable. It still offers a good finish and a high-quality screen, but logically offers less raw power than its brother under Snapdragon 888. This drop in speed still has an advantage: it allows it to be much more enduring, which may be more important for a majority of users. It certainly recharges a little slower than the Pro, but the difference remains negligible on a daily basis. The icing on the cake, the software photo processing seems less supported and delivers a more faithful daytime result. A very good model in its price range.
