The Galaxy A72 5G is a mid-range phone Samsung is expected to announce next year. The phone first appeared in the news back in September when a leak said it will have five rear cameras. However, another leak surfaced recently that said the phone will have four rear cameras. CAD-based renders have now surfaced and they confirm that the Galaxy A72 5G will indeed have a quad-camera setup on the rear.
The A72 5G is the successor to the Galaxy A71 5G that was announced in April and its design doesn’t seem to have changed much. It has a centered punch hole which appears to be smaller in diameter than that of its predecessor and the back is home to four rear cameras that are housed in rectangular glass.

Steve Hemmersoffer a.k.a. OnLeaks, who published the renders on Voice, says the rear panel of the Galaxy A72 5G is “glasstic” while the frame that goes around it is aluminum. The general appearance of the phone is very similar to that of the Galaxy A52 5G whose renders leaked last week with the only visual difference being the size of both phones.
The Galaxy A72 5G is said to pack a 6.7-inch display which should be a Super AMOLED panel with a 1080p resolution. The display is flat, has slim bezels around it, and will have a fingerprint scanner behind it.
The renders show the phone has an audio jack at the bottom along with a USB-C port and a five-hole speaker grille. The dimensions of the phone are given as 165 x 77.4 x 8.1 mm. The thickness goes up to 9.1 mm when you add the camera bump.
The Galaxy A72 5G should come with the 5nm Exynos 1080 processor that will make its debut in the Vivo X60 series later this month. It should run One UI 3.0 based on Android 11 out of the box. When Samsung launches the phone next year, its price tag is expected to be about $599.
