The Samsung Galaxy A52s 5G is the more powerful version of the A52 5G. It still has 5G support, still has a big battery with fast charging and still has an extra smooth screen display.
The Galaxy A52 is one of the best selling Samsung phones. A 5G version of it was already announced and now there is this A52s. This one is also equipped with 5G and gets an improved processor; the Snapdragon 778G. This chipset is only 8 months newer than the Snapdragon 750G but is based on 6 instead of 8nm. This makes it much more powerful and energy efficient. Between 20 and 43% to be exact. This should allow the A52s 5G to get by for a while.
Many other specifications have remained the same. For example, there's still a 120Hz screen, a quadruple camera and a waterproof body. To be precise, an Infinity O-Display with Super AMOLED, a 64MP OIS camera and IP67 casing. All complicated terms for a colourful screen where the colours burst from the screen. A versatile camera system with a razor-sharp picture for every situation. And a dustproof housing that is water resistant to 1 metre for 30 minutes. The screen is also extra fluid thanks to the 120Hz display. Animations look extra smooth.
Have we not talked about the battery yet. Inside the Galaxy A52s 5G is a 4500 mAh battery with 25W fast charging. That's bigger than is in the current flagship, the S21. And just like that much more expensive model, this A52s also comes with a fingerprint scanner in the screen. Even better, you get a much sharper selfie camera of 32MP, a larger screen of 6.5 inches and you can still place a memory card here. Only wireless charging is something that is not possible. Of course, you can't ask the impossible for a phone that costs just over half of the current flagship.
