Reviews last updated: August 2026 · How we calculate this

What we like about Samsung Galaxy A52 (6GB + 128GB)

  • High-quality 90Hz/120Hz Super AMOLED display that is bright and vibrant even outdoors
  • Solid battery life that reliably lasts a full day for most users
  • Versatile main camera with Optical Image Stabilization (OIS) producing sharp daylight photos
  • Rare features for a modern phone including a 3.5mm headphone jack and microSD card slot
  • IP67 dust and water resistance rating which is uncommon at this price point
  • Loud and clear stereo speaker setup with Dolby Atmos support
  • Competitive price-to-feature ratio compared to flagship models

What we don't like about Samsung Galaxy A52 (6GB + 128GB)

  • In-display optical fingerprint sensor is frequently described as slow and inaccurate
  • Noticeable lag or 'sluggish' performance during heavy multitasking or intensive gaming
  • Plastic back and frame can feel 'cheap' compared to glass and metal competitors
  • Lack of wireless charging support requires a physical cable for all top-ups
  • Secondary macro and depth cameras are often cited as mediocre or unnecessary
  • Only a 15W charger is included in the box despite the phone supporting faster 25W charging
  • Pre-installed bloatware and duplicate apps can clutter the software experience

Verdict

The Samsung Galaxy A52 (6GB + 128GB) is a feature-rich mid-range smartphone, notable for its bright 6.5-inch FHD+ Super AMOLED display with a 90Hz refresh rate, a versatile 64MP quad-camera system featuring OIS (Optical Image Stabilization), and an IP67 water and dust resistance rating. Key specifications include a Qualcomm Snapdragon 720G processor, a 4,500mAh battery with 25W fast charging support (though it comes with a 15W charger in the box), a 32MP front camera, stereo speakers, and a 3.5mm headphone jack. Pros are its impressive display quality, solid build with Gorilla Glass 5 protection, the inclusion of OIS, a good battery life, and Samsung's commitment to multiple OS updates. The primary cons are that its processor is less powerful compared to some price-point competitors, the in-screen fingerprint sensor can be slow, and the bundled charger is only 15W.
