Samsung trademarked the Galaxy A52 along with other names back in January. After a while, the device, which will succeed the best-selling Galaxy A51, started slowly appearing on leaks. Today, Steve Hemmerstoffer(@onleaks) has shared some details of the upcoming smartphone.
According to Steve, Galaxy A52 5G‘s design will be a lot similar to the predecessor, Galaxy A51. Precisely, he says the device will have a 6.5-inch display with a centered punch-hole(Infinity-O). If you recall, both the Galaxy A51/A51 5G’s displays had the same size.
On the back, it will likely have the same rectangular camera layout with four sensors. A small difference here is the renders swaps the position of the fourth sensor and LED flashlight. For design, he says the company will retain the Glasstic(Plastic with Glass-like finish) rear panel and metallic frame. Besides, the concept render also shows a similar gradient Green color with a two-tone design(vertical stripes at the bottom).
However, if Steve were true, the Galaxy A52 5G will have a bit lesser thickness than the Galaxy A51. He says the device will measure 159.9 x 75.1 x 8.4mm where the thickness would be 10mm if you count the camera bump. To compare, Galaxy A51(4G) had 7.9mm, but the A51(5G) has about 8.9mm thickness.
Further, the device will likely retain the 3.5mm headphone jack and in-display fingerprint sensor as well. This suggests that the display will indeed be an AMOLED panel which was expected anyway. That said, he hasn’t given details on what SoC will power the device. But thanks to an early benchmark that hints at a Qualcomm Snapdragon 750G SoC.
Samsung usually limits the Exynos SoC to regions like India, Korea, China while it brings the Qualcomm variants to the US. Hence, we can expect the same to be the case for Galaxy A52 as well. Anyway, earlier leaks say that the device will have a 64MP main camera supplied by its sister Samsung Electro-Mechanics.
Finally, Steve predicts a similar $499 price for the Galaxy A52 5G which we can agree with. This is because Samsung crawled back with the Galaxy A series and its mid-range pricing after a dismal Q1 sales of its Galaxy S20 series. And it looks like the company doesn’t want to change the winning formula going forward.
