Samsung Galaxy M52 5G Specifications and Features
The Galaxy M52 5G features a plastic build like any other Galaxy M series phone. The rear panel has pinstripes just like on the Galaxy F62, which is also known as Galaxy M62 in some markets.
The handset flaunts a 6.7-inch sAMOLED+ Infinity-O display with a resolution of 1080 x 2400 pixels (FHD+), 16 million colors, a 120Hz refresh rate, and a centered punch-hole. The screen is protected by a layer of Corning Gorilla Glass 5.
The device is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 778G chipset paired with 6GB/8GB RAM and 128GB internal storage. If needed, the storage can be expanded via a MicroSD card.
Further, the phone sports a triple camera setup on the back consisting of a 64MP primary sensor, a 12MP ultra-wide unit, and a 5MP macro snapper. Whereas, on the front, it has a 32MP shooter for selfies and video calls.
On the connectivity front, the handset supports dual-SIM, 5G (11 bands), dual-band WiFi, Bluetooth 5.0, GNSS, NFC, and a USB Type-C port. Unfortunately, despite being a budget smartphone, it lacks a 3.5mm headphone jack. However, it does come with a side-mounted fingerprint sensor.
As far as software is concerned, it runs One UI Core 3.1 based on Android 11 with Knox security. It draws power from a 5,000mAh, which can be charged at a maximum rate of 25W, however, Samsung only bundles a 15W charger in the box.
Last but not least, the Galaxy M52 5G measures 7.4mm in thickness, weighs 173, and features all the essential sensors like an accelerometer, ambient light sensor, gyroscope, compass, and proximity sensor.
