This is our third article on Samsung Galaxy A52 today(Feb. 11). Ahead of a March 2021 launch i.e., next month, leaks are pouring in for Samsung’s A5x series’s 2021 device. The latest info comes from Tipster Abhishek Yadav who says that the 5G variant will feature an IP rating like the flagships.
Just a few hours ago, Sammobile had exclusively reported that Samsung Galaxy A52 5G‘s display will support a refresh rate of up to 120Hz. Now, Abhishek says that the device will come with an IP67 rating for Water and Dust resistance.
For the unware, IP is an Ingress Protection rating as per IEC(International Electrotechnical Commission)’s EN 60529 standard. It is the degree of protection given to a mechanical/electrical enclosure and based on the type & intensity of intrusion, the rating varies.
Samsung isn’t new to the IP-rating either. Its Galaxy-S series flagships including the recently launched Galaxy S21 have had it. In fact, the older Galaxy-A devices like the Galaxy A8(2018) have had IP68-rating to protect the device against dust/water splashes.

Anyway, we just hope that Samsung brings this IP-rating to the 4G variant too. Speaking of which, the Galaxy A52 is expected to come in 4G and 5G variants. They are likely to share similar specs except for the chipset inside.
The 5G variant will feature a 6.5-inch S-AMOLED FHD+ Infinity-O display, Snapdragon 750G chipset, 6/8GB RAM, 128/256GB storage, 4,500mAh battery with 25W fast charging.
For cameras, it will have a Quad rear camera mostly with 64MP main, 12MP ultra-wide, two 5MP Macro&Depth sensors, and a 32MP selfie shooter upfront. The device is also expected to run Android 11 with One UI 3.1 on top.
