Samsung will be announcing its new Galaxy A line of smartphones in North America this week. There are five models in all – the Galaxy A02s, Galaxy A12, Galaxy A32 5G, Galaxy A42 5G, and the Galaxy A52 5G – but unlike in other markets where these phones come in cool and attractive colors, the US will only be getting them in dull gray/black colors.
Galaxy A02s
This Snapdragon 450-powered entry-level phone with a 6.5-inch HD+ screen will sell for $109.99 in the US. That will get you 2GB of RAM, 32GB of expandable storage, a 13MP + 2MP dual-camera setup on the rear, and a 5MP selfie camera. You also get a 5000mAh battery capacity with support for 15W fast charging. There is no fingerprint scanner and you also get Android 10 out of the box.
Galaxy A12
The Galaxy A12 will sell for $179.99 and will be available through AT&T, Cricket, Metro, and T-Mobile according to Android Police. For the extra $70, you get 3GB of RAM, an Helio P35 processor, and 32GB of expandable storage. The selfie camera is an 8MP sensor and on the rear is a 16MP main camera, a 5MP ultrawide angle camera, a 2MP macro camera, and a 2MP depth camera. The battery capacity and fast charging technology is the same as that of the Galaxy A02s. It also runs Android 10 but you get a fingerprint scanner on the side.
Galaxy A32 5G
The US is also getting Samsung’s cheapest 5G phone. For $280, the Dimensity 720-powered phone comes with a 6.5-inch 90Hz display (LCD), 4GB of RAM, 64GB of expandable storage, and 48MP quad rear cameras. You also get a 13MP selfie camera, a side-mounted fingerprint scanner, and a 5000mAh battery that charges at 15W. It will also be available this Friday via Cricket, Metro, and T-Mobile.
Galaxy A42 5G
Want an AMOLED display? Then the Galaxy A42 5G has got you covered, though it drops the high-refresh rate. It is a 6.6-inch HD panel with a fingerprint scanner underneath. It has a Snapdragon 750G processor, 4GB of RAM, and 128GB of storage. On the back is a 48MP triple camera setup while the U-shaped notch in the screen houses a 13MP camera. It runs Android 11 like the Galaxy A32 5G and also has a 5000mAh battery that charges at 15W. It will be available for $399.99 as a Verizon exclusive.
Galaxy A52 5G
The Galaxy A52 5G is the most expensive of the pack with a $499.99, the same price you can pick up a brand new OnePlus 8 with 8GB of RAM and 128GB of storage and a much more powerful Snapdragon 865 processor.
For that price, Samsung is giving you a 6.5-inch FHD+ AMOLED screen with a 120Hz refresh rate, a Snapdragon 750G processor, 6GB of RAM, and 128GB of storage. There is a 32MP camera in front for selfies while the back is home to a 64MP quad camera setup. The phone runs Android 11 out of the box and will get three years of OS upgrades, has an in-display fingerprint scanner, and packs a 4500mAh battery with support for 25W fast charging.
The Galaxy A52 will be available this Friday on AT&T, T-Mobile, US Cellular, and unlocked.
