Samsung is rolling out the Android 14 update for the Galaxy A52 in Asia and Europe. The latest system update for the smartphone also brings One UI 6.0.

It is the last major software update for this device. The product will only receive security patches going forward.

According to SamMobile, the Galaxy A52 Android 14 update is currently live in the following Asian, European, and Oceanic countries.

• Afghanistan
• Australia
• Austria
• Bangladesh
• Croatia
• France
• Germany
• India
• Iraq
• Italy
• Kazakhstan
• Kenya
• Libya
• Malaysia
• Morocco
• New Zealand

• Portugal
• Romania
• Saudi Arabia
• Serbia
• Slovakia
• Slovenia
• South Africa
• Spain
• Sri Lanka
• Thailand
• Czech Republic
• Philippines
• UAE
• Ukraine
• Vietnam

Despite releasing in March, the update arrives with outdated January 2024 security patches. It weighs around 1.2GB in Europe, however, the size could vary in other regions. The update should be available in the remaining countries in the coming days.

For the unaware, the Galaxy A52 was introduced with Android 11 in March 2021. It was updated to Android 12 later that year followed by Android 13 in 2022.

Thus, Android 14 is its third and last Android update as the phone is only eligible for three generations of OS upgrades. Anyways, it will get security updates for one more year.

The Galaxy A52 is the last 4G-enabled Galaxy A5x series handset. It comes with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 720G chip, a 6.5-inch FHD+ 90Hz Super AMOLED display, a 64MP primary camera, a 32MP selfie camera, an IP67 rating, a 4,500mAh battery, and 25W charging support.

The post Samsung Galaxy A52 gets Android 14 update in several countries around the world appeared first on Gizmochina.

Samsung has begun rolling out the Android 14 update, accompanied by its One UI 6 interface, to the Galaxy A52, Galaxy A23 4G, and Galaxy Tab S6 Lite (2022). These updates introduce new features and improvements, primarily focused on user interface enhancements and functionality upgrades.

For Galaxy A23 4G users, the update arrives with the November 2023 security patch and firmware versions A235FXXU4DWL1 (Russia) or A235MUBU4DWL1 (Panama). The South Korean version, SM-A235N, is currently not included in the rollout.

Galaxy A52 owners will receive the update with firmware ending in EWL3 and the December 2023 security patch. The update size is approximately 2.2GB, and its arrival might be staggered across regions, so patience is key. 

As for the Galaxy Tab S6 Lite (2022), the tablet is receiving Android 14 with firmware P613XXU4CWL1 but retains the November 2023 security patch instead of the latest January 2024 version. The update is currently available in France and some other European countries, with a wider rollout expected soon.

To check for the update on your A52 or A23 4G or on the tablet, head to the phone’s Settings menu, tap on “Software update,” and select “Download and install.” 

One UI 6 introduces several noticeable changes. The Quick Panel has been redesigned for easier access to frequently used settings, while a new font refreshes the overall visual experience. Music lovers can enjoy a new media player widget for a lock screen and notification control.

Customization takes center stage with more font and placement options for the lock screen clock widget. And there are two new widgets — “Custom Camera” for quick access to camera settings and “Weather Insights” for detailed weather information.

The Settings app has also gone a makeover, featuring a dedicated Battery section for easier navigation. The camera is now simplified for easier use and the Photo Editor app now has larger controls for easy accessibility.

The weather app now presents even more detailed information about your favorite locations, all wrapped up in a cohesive new design. Finally, Samsung has decluttered the app drawer and home screen by removing its branding from stock app icons.

Samsung has surprisingly released the Android 13 OS based One UI 5.0 update for the Galaxy A52 smartphone. The company had began the beta program for its flagship Galaxy S22 series of smartphones recently, and now the mid range model has also started receiving this update.

As of right now, the South Korean tech giant has only released the beta program for this smartphone. This also implies that we might soon see the major Android upgrade to make its way to more mid range Galaxy handsets as well. Interestingly enough, the Galaxy A52 received the update ahead of its successor Galaxy A53 and it is unclear if the brand will launch the beta for this model or just directly release a stable build for it.

This same will likely apply for the Galaxy A52’s different variants including the Galaxy A52s and the Galaxy A52 5G. So for those interested, you can apply for the beta program if you’re a Galaxy A52 owner in India. To apply for the beta program, you just have to apply for the beta program by going to the Samsung Members app and tapping on the beta program banner and opting on the enroll button.

Following this step, you can expect the first beta update to be made available for download within the next five to ten minutes. One can check for the update by going to Settings > Software Update.

Almost all popular Android OEMs now offer a virtual RAM feature. Samsung was the last company to join the bandwagon very recently with the launch of Galaxy A52s 5G. The South Korean tech giant calls its implementation ‘RAM Plus’. The feature is now being rolled out to the Galaxy A52.

A few hours back, Samsung started seeding October 2021 security patches for the Galaxy A52. According to SamMobile, this system update also brings the ‘RAM Plus’ feature.

Hence, users who have updated to the latest firmware now have an increased amount of RAM on their unit. To check whether they have got the feature, users will have to navigate to Settings > Battery and device care > Memory.

Unlike Chinese OEMs, Samsung allows users to neither disable the virtual RAM feature nor change the amount of RAM. If a device adds support for RAM Plus, the feature remains turned on permanently. Also, the company only offers an additional 4GB of RAM.

Since virtual RAM uses the handset’s internal storage, users will lose some amount of memory.  It would be better if Samsung provided more opinions for RAM Plus like the competition.

Samsung RAM Plus is expected to reach more Galaxy devices via OTA software updates.

What are your thoughts on virtual RAM on Android smartphones? Do let us know in the comment section below.

Samsung launched the Galaxy A52 in India in March. The smartphone comes in two storage configurations and four color options in the country. Over five months after its release in the region, the South Korean tech giant has now hiked the price of this phone.

Samsung has increased the price of Galaxy A52 in India by ₹1,000. The price hike comes after the launch of Galaxy A52s 5G. The new price is currently live on Samsung.com.

The base 6GB + 128GB and higher 8GB + 128GB variants of the Galaxy A52 debuted at ₹26,499 and ₹27,999 respectively. With the increment in price, the same models now cost ₹27,499 and ₹28,999.

The Galaxy A52 is one of the best smartphones released by Samsung in 2021. But unfortunately, due to the global semiconductor shortage, the handset has been mostly out of stock in India for the past few months.

Talking about specifications, the Galaxy A52 features a 6.5-inch FHD+ Infinity-O Super AMOLED display with a 90Hz refresh rate. It is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 720G SoC and draws its power from a 4,500mAh battery with support for 25W fast charging (ships with a 15W charger).

The device has a 64MP (wide, OIS) + 12MP (ultra-wide) + 5MP (macro) + 5MP (depth) quad-camera setup on the back and a 32MP selfie camera. It runs One UI 3.1 based on Android 11 with a guaranteed three years of OS upgrades and at least four years of security updates.

Other features of the phone include dual stereo speakers, a 3.5mm headphone jack, a MicroSD card slot, Samsung Pay, and an IP67 rating for dust/water resistance.

The Galaxy A52 is one of the best Samsung smartphones released in 2021. The handset comes in two variants – 4G and 5G. Now, according to new findings, the South Korean tech giant may launch yet another version of this phone.

As per @_the_tech_guy on Twitter, Samsung has started firmware development for a device with model number SM-A528B. He says that this smartphone will go official as Galaxy A52s 5G in India. The phone has been also certified by BIS (Bureau of Indian Standards).

Similarly, according to Twitter user @FrontTron, Samsung will be also releasing the so-called Galaxy A52s 5G in South Korea with three model numbers, namely SM-A528N, SM-A528N-00, and SM-A528NK.

Unfortunately, nothing else is known about this handset apart from its model numbers. But we expect to learn more about it via leaks, certifications, and teasers before its official announcement in the near future.

As far as specs are concerned, we can anticipate the so-called Galaxy A52s 5G to have the exact same features as the original Galaxy A52 5G with minor changes. The new model could come with a different camera setup, larger battery, or maybe even a faster processor.

What are your thoughts on the upcoming Samsung SM-A528? Do you think there’s a need for a Galaxy A51s 5G within months as the Galaxy A52 5G is already good enough for most people? Do let us know in the comment section below.

The post Samsung may soon release a new variant of Galaxy A52 appeared first on Gizmochina.

The Galaxy A52 is one of the best Samsung smartphones released in 2021. The handset offers almost everything one needs in a smartphone at an affordable price tag. However, with the latest system update, the company appears to have broken a feature of the phone.

Samsung Galaxy A52 HDR Video Playback Brightness Issue

The Galaxy A52 flaunts a 6.5-inch FHD+ Super AMOLED Display with a 90Hz refresh rate and 800 nits peak brightness. This panel is also HDR-certified, and therefore, it is capable of playing HDR videos on YouTube. Anyway, the device lacks certifications for Netflix and Amazon Prime Video like any other Samsung smartphone other than flagships.

But the latest June 2021 security patch update has broken HDR playback support even on YouTube. The issue is sort of weird. The YouTube app shows HDR options, however, the handset’s display does not brighten up.

I randomly came across this bug. While discussing with several other users on a Telegram group dedicated to Galaxy A52, I found out that I wasn’t the only one facing this issue.

At first, I thought the latest system update might have affected DRM certification. Hence, I installed the DRM Info app to check the status. As you can see from the screenshot, the app clearly says that the phone’s screen not only supports HDR10, HDR10+, and HLG but also has Widevine L1 certification.

I did come across a workaround for this bug. Unfortunately, it did not work for me. Nonetheless, it did for others, but albeit for a short period of time.

Samsung Galaxy A52 HDR Video Playback Brightness Issue Workaround

In case you have a Galaxy A52 with HDR brightness not kicking in on YouTube or while playing local videos, then follow these steps.

• Enable ‘Developer options’
  • Settings > About Phone > Software information
  • Tap 7 times on Build number
• Go to Settings, search for ‘Disable HW overlays’, and enable this option

This method should fix HDR brightness issue on the Galaxy A52 or any other Samsung smartphone for that matter. Anyhoo, your mileage may vary and it may not work for a long time.

Samsung Galaxy A52 HDR Video Playback Brightness Issue: What is the solution?

I think only Samsung can fix this bug via the next system update. But if you have any workaround, then do let us know in the comment section below. 

Until then, all we can do is hope for Samsung to fix it with the July 2021 security patch update next month.

Samsung recently moved the 2018 flagship Galaxy S9 series to a Quarterly update cycle. However, it has given a special spot to the recently launched Galaxy A52, Galaxy A52 5G devices as they are eligible for monthly security updates, unlike the other Galaxy Ax2 devices.

Samsung recently rolled out an update for Galaxy A52 with the firmware version A525FXXU1AUC5 in parts of Europe. This included the latest April 2021 security patch and it came even before April began.

That and looking at the recently Samsung’s updated Security update eligibility page, we found that Galaxy A52, Galaxy A52 5G are on the monthly security update list. Whereas, the other Galaxy Ax2 devices like:

Galaxy A02, Galaxy A02s, Galaxy A12, Galaxy A32, Galaxy A32 5G, Galaxy A42 5G, Galaxy A72 are all on the Quarterly update cycle. You can take a look at the screenshot below(at the time of writing this):

1 of 2

This makes the Galaxy A52 devices grab a special spot on the monthly security update cycle which only has the Enterprise version of Galaxy A50 as the remaining A-series phone. However, all the recently launched Galaxy Ax2 devices including the higher-priced sibling of Galaxy A52, the Galaxy A72 are on a Quarterly cycle.

You might wonder if it’s an erroneous listing but it looks like Samsung has updated the list very recently especially after updating few devices with April 2021 security patches. We can guess a lot of reasons for this including the incredible success of the predecessor Galaxy A51 but only Samsung can say the real reason behind this.

Anyway, let’s see if Samsung continues to update the Galaxy A52 above other A-series devices in the future. If you are a Galaxy A72 user, how do you feel about this change? Do let us know in the comments below.

Samsung Galaxy A52, Galaxy A72, and Galaxy A52 5G Price, Offers, Availability- India & China

To clear things up, Samsung has brought the 4G version of Galaxy A52 and Galaxy A72 to India. The Galaxy A72 doesn’t get a 5G model this time. On the other hand, the company has brought the Galaxy A52 5G to China. Let’s take a look at their pricing below:

• India

  • Samsung Galaxy A52 4G
    • 6GB + 128GB- ₹26,499
    • 8GB + 128GB- ₹27,999

The post Samsung Galaxy A52 and Galaxy A72 pricing for India, Galaxy A52 5G price for China are out appeared first on Gizmochina.

Yesterday, Samsung launched the Galaxy A52 and the Galaxy A72 mid-range smartphones at the company’s second Unpacked event of 2021. Both of these handsets support 25W fast charging. However, one of them ships with a 15W charger.

The newly unveiled Galaxy A52 is backed by a 4,500mAh battery with support for 25W fast charging. For comparison, last year’s Galaxy A51 has a slightly smaller 4,000mAh battery and it is capped at 15W fast charging.

But unfortunately, just like the older Galaxy A51, the brand-new Galaxy A52 also ships with a popular Samsung 15W Adaptive Fast Charging adapter. Hence, if users want to make use of the phone’s maximum charging potential, they will have to buy the 25W charger separately.

On the other hand, the more expensive Galaxy A72 comes with a 25W charger instead. So buyers of this smartphone no need to worry about investing in a fast charger.

That said, Samsung is at least shipping these handsets with a charger, unlike the company’s flagship Galaxy S21 series.

Anyway, the Galaxy A52 despite featuring non-impressive specs for the price when compared to devices from Chinese OEMs, it does offer other important features. For instance, it is probably the only phone in the segment to come with IP67 certification, three Android updates, and four years of security updates.

The Samsung Galaxy A52 and the Galaxy A72 are in the news for a few months now. The specifications of these handsets have leaked multiple times. However, every new leak regarding these phones has been revealing new information. The latest leak confirms some of the previously unknown miscellaneous features.

We won’t be talking much about the already known specs of the Samsung Galaxy A52 and the Galaxy A72 in this article. Instead, we will only focus on the new information shared by Twitter user TechTalkTV (@Mr_TechTalkTV).

To learn about the spec sheet leak by Roland Quandt of WinFuture, click on the respective handsets.

• Galaxy A52
• Galaxy A72

Coming to the latest leak, the upcoming Galaxy A52 and Galaxy A72 by Samsung will feature stereo speakers. That’s not all, these phones will also support Dolby Atmos for a 3D surround-sound experience.

Further, they will also have support for Snapchat lenses built right into the stock camera app, in addition to first-party lenses. A total of 21 lenses will change regularly, out of which 9 will be from Snapchat. Samsung calls this feature Fun Mode and for some reason, it will be not available on Galaxy A52 5G.

Continuing about camera features, the Galaxy A72 will come with 30x Space Zoom. This means the smartphone will be able to capture up to 30x digitally zoomed pictures, thanks to the presence of an 8MP sensor with a 3x telephoto lens.

Additionally, unlike the Galaxy A52, the Galaxy A72 will also ship with Advanced Game Booster with support for Microsoft Xbox Game Pass. Hence, users can play over 100 Xbox games on their phone itself.

Last but not least, Samsung will not be shipping a charger with these smartphones in certain markets. In some regions, even though these handsets support 25W fast charging, the company will be only including a 15W charger.

The Galaxy A52 and the Galaxy A72 are probably the most leaked smartphones of 2021 so far. We know everything about these Samsung mid-range smartphones ahead of their official announcement. This includes specs, design, and pricing too. Now, once again, the camera and display specs of Galaxy A52 leak but in more detail.

When Roland Quandt of WinFuture shared the spec sheet and renders of Galaxy A52 and Galaxy A52 5G last month, he did not go into detail about the display and camera parameters of these handsets. Hence, he has now revealed those missing data on Twitter.

According to him, the standard 4G version of the device will flaunt a 90Hz screen, whereas the 5G model will be equipped with a 120Hz panel. However, the FHD+ (2400 x 1080 pixels) Super AMOLED display on both will measure 6.5-inch and will feature a peak brightness level of 800 nits.

Talking about optics, the duo will sport a quad-camera setup on the back. The primary sensor will be of 64 megapixels with a pixel size of  0.8 µm, 81° lens, and OIS (Optical Image Stabilization). For those unaware, the presence of OIS in select 2021 Galaxy A series smartphones was first reported in July 2020.

Further, the setup will include an 8MP sensor with 1.12 µm pixel size as well as a 123° ultra-wide-angle lens, and two 5MP sensors with 1.12 µm pixel size but with a 78° macro lens and an 85° lens (depth) respectively.

Samsung is expected to officially announce the Galaxy A52 and the Galaxy A72 very soon. Ahead of it, these two smartphones have leaked extensively in the past few days. In fact, there’s nothing new left to learn about them. Now, the duo’s launch timeline for India has been tipped as well.

According to the industry sources of 91Mobiles, Samsung will be launching the Galaxy A52 and Galaxy A72 in India in mid-March. But it is not sure if the 5G variants will be released in the country since their predecessors’ 5G version did not make their way to the region last year.

However, it is worth noting that despite launching a 4G-only Galaxy S20 FE in India, the South Korean tech giant may also bring the 5G model, as per BIS certification and support page. So there’s a chance that Galaxy A52 5G and Galaxy A72 5G could also debut in the country later if not next month.

Talking about specs, both these smartphones share almost everything except for display size, camera setup, and battery capacity. Some of their highlights include a 90Hz (4G)/120Hz (5G) FHD+ AMOLED display, IP67 certification for dust and water resistance, Qualcomm Snapdragon 720G (4G)/750G (5G), 25W fast charging, plastic build, 3.5mm headphone jack, microSD card slot, four colors (Black, White, Blue, Violet, One UI 3.1 based on Android 11, and more.

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.

As it can be seen in the above tweet, the FCC listing only mentions the SM-A526B model number and has no information on its specifications. Past reports have revealed that the model number belongs to the 5G version of the Galaxy A52. It was reported by 91mobiles last month that India could be one of the markets that will be treated with Galaxy A52 5G. However, the BIS authority of India has only approved the 4G version (SM-A525F/DS) of the A52.

The post Samsung Galaxy A52 5G color variants revealed in a fresh leak appeared first on Gizmochina.

Samsung is on its way to unveil the successor of its best selling A5x lineup in 2021. Lots of leaks have already given a hint of how the device would look like. Today, we have the supposed official images from renowned tipster Evan Blass.

Evan has posted what he claims to be the First Official images of the upcoming Samsung Galaxy A52 in Black color. He also mentions that this image is of the 5G variant. Just like the initial CAD renders, the device has a Infinity-O display upfront. Reports say that it will come in Denim Blue, Icy White colors too.

At the back, we can see a quad-camera setup which has a rounded rectangle layout similar to the Galaxy A51. This reminds us of the early leak that said Samsung isn’t departing too much from the best-selling predecessor’s design.

However, we do note that the finish around the camera layout is a bit curved and subtle. That is, these curves make the layout look like it isn’t protruding too much. Talking about the quad-camera sensors, there are three big, a smaller one along with LED flash arranged similar to the renders before.

We also have the Power and Volume buttons to the right side. If you look closely, we can spot the cut-outs for the 3.5mm jack, Type-C port at the bottom that could accompany a Speaker, Microphone beside. The plain left-hand side indicates that the SIM tray could be on the top.

Although it’s obvious, the absence of a physical fingerprint on the design confirms that it will have an in-display scanner. Speaking of which, the device will likely sport a 6.5-inch sAMOLED screen and measure about 159.9 x 75.1 x 8.4mm.

Galaxy A52 Specs (Expected)

The Galaxy A52 has already received the necessary certifications and is shaping out to launch as a 5G and 4G version as per the reports. Luckily, countries like India will probably get the device with the latest connectivity support too.

Other expected specs include Snapdragon 720G/750G chipset, 64MP main rear lens, 12MP ultra-wide, two 5MP macro & depth sensors,  15W charger, run Android 11 OS, 6/8GB RAM, 128/256GB storage, and start around ~$450.

Samsung Galaxy A52 is inching closer to launch at least that’s what the recent leaks suggest. Today, we get more information on the device with Bluetooth and Wi-Fi certifications.

A Samsung device with model number SM-A526B, SM-A526N, SM-A5260 gets Wi-Fi Alliance and SM-A526B, SM-A526B/DS gets Bluetooth SIG certifications. The last letter/number on the model number indicates its variant for different markets. If you recall, a device with similar model number(SM-A526B) appeared on HTML5 test page.

These model numbers are likely the upcoming Samsung Galaxy A52 according to previous reports. Earlier leak said that it will measure 159.9 x 75.1 x 8.4mm and will resemble the predecessor with only a few changes. Accordingly, the SM-A5260 also appeared on China’s 3C certification with a 15W charger like the Galaxy A51.

Anyway, the Wi-Fi certification shows that it will support both 2.4 and 5GHz Wi-Fi standards and run Android 11 which is already hinted by the HTML5 test. Similarly, Bluetooth SIG shows that the device will have Bluetooth 5.0. Apart from this, these certifications don’t give away anything else.

Galaxy A52 – Specifications(Expected)

However, thanks to the leakers, we can talk about the specs of the device. The Galaxy A52 is widely expected to come to both in 5G and 4G versions. Unsurprisingly, the 5G version is also heading to countries like India.

Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 720/750G chipset is expected to power the 4G/5G versions respectively. Other probable specs include a 6.5-inch Infinity-O AMOLED display, 64MP quad-camera setup, and more.

A leaked prototype images also hint that the device will have a 3.5mm audio jack, Type-C ports at the bottom, and a rectangular rear-camera layout like the Galaxy A51.

Samsung Galaxy A52 is one of the A-series phones that has been constantly on the radar of leaks. The already delayed smartphone is expected to go official anytime soon. If you recall, its Predecessor Galaxy A51 came earlier in Dec. 2019. Today, a new report by 91Mobiles reveals the Panel images of the smartphone.

The exclusive rear panel images are probably coming from the Great Noida factory where the device is reportedly being mass-produced. Anyway, the images show a rectangular camera layout with rounded corners. This is similar to the earlier leaked design which showed a resemblance to Galaxy A51.

The supposed Samsung Galaxy A52 prototype also has a glossy finish all over it which could be the Glasstic rear panel mentioned in the previous leak. We don’t have any dimensions on the report but earlier info says it will measure 159.9 x 75.1 x 8.4mm. Moving on, we can spot five etched dots in total inside the camera layout with ‘A52’ labeling above it.

1 of 3

Although we cannot explicitly confirm it as quad-cameras, one of them seems to appear White suggesting that it could be the LED flash. So far, we know that the device will likely get a 64MP main lens on the rear setup.

On the bottom, there are cutouts for what is mostly a 3.5mm audio jack, and Type-C ports. That said, the report doesn’t show anything on the Front but it will probably feature a 6.5-inch Infinity-O AMOLED display with a punch-hole at the center. We can expect both 4G and 5G versions of the handset and the 5G variant is reportedly coming to India finally.

Accordingly, the processors Snapdragon 720G/ Snapdragon 750G 5G SoC will power the device from early reports. Other possible features are in-display fingerprint sensor, 15W charger, Android 11.

Samsung will be a lot busier today with the Galaxy S21 flagship smartphone launch happening in a few hours. However, the company hasn’t turned its tide on the successors to the last year’s A-series devices. It is already working on multiple devices like Galaxy A32, A52, and A72 at least as per the reports. Among these, the Galaxy A52 is said to come in both 4G and 5G variants and a report now says it’s already under production in India.

According to 91Mobiles’ industry sources, the upcoming Samsung Galaxy A52 has entered mass production at Samsung’s facility in Greater Noida. What’s more interesting is that citing its sources, the report says the Galaxy A52 5G variant will launch in India. While this is in contrast to earlier BIS listings, we just have one question- Why is Samsung opting for 5G?

For this, We can only place the market’s transition as the reason in front of you. The mid-range 5G smartphones are going to boom in India this year starting with launches like the Moto G 5G, Mi 10i, upcoming realme X7. And it will be fair for Samsung to pitch a 5G variant against these rivals to oust the competition.

That said, if the report is true, Galaxy A52 could be the first Galaxy A-series smartphone to carry the 5G support in India i.e, if it launches first ahead of other devices. This is because Samsung only brought the Galaxy A51 4G variant to India and not the 5G. And that was the case for A71, A80 devices.

Anyway, leaks so far say that Galaxy A52 will have a thickness of 8.4mm and feature a 6.5-inch Infinity-O display. It is expected to be powered by the Snapdragon 750G(5G variant)/ Snapdragon 720G (4G variant) paired with 6 / 8 GB RAM. Other probable features include a 64MP quad-camera setup, 15W charging, Android 11, and more.

It is so far rumored to launch before H1 2021 ends and come with a price tag of under $500.

Samsung recently slashed the prices of entry-level smartphones in India. Today, the company has officially cut the prices of Galaxy A51 and Galaxy A71 mid-rangers in the country.

As 91Mobiles reports, the new prices of Galaxy A51 and A71 have already reflected on Amazon India and Samsung’s website. Both the devices get a ₹2,000 cut from the old price. You can take a look at the new prices of them below:

• Galaxy A51(6GB + 128GB)- ₹20,999($286)
• Galaxy A51(8GB + 128GB)- ₹22,499($307)
• Galaxy A71(8GB + 128GB)- ₹27,499($375)

If you recall, the Galaxy A51 launched in India at ₹23,999. Hence, the new drop is ₹3,500 cheaper than the launch price at least for the 6GB variant. Also, regarding the Galaxy A71, the device is now ₹2,500 cheaper than the launch price.

Anyway, with Samsung reducing the price officially, the air is almost clear for the successors now. The Galaxy A52 and Galaxy A72 are expected to succeed in these devices this year. Last year, Samsung unveiled the A51, A71 around December 2019. However, that didn’t happen in 2020 for various reasons.

Anyway, the Galaxy A52, which has already received India’s BIS certification, will likely feature a 6.5-inch FHD+ AMOLED display, One UI 3.0 based Android 11, and quad-cameras on the back. The 4G variant of the device is expected to be powered by Snapdragon 720G with at least 8GB RAM while the 5G variant will have Snapdragon 750G.

The A72, on the other hand, will probably sport a 6.7-inch punch-hole AMOLED display. Although the chipset on it is not clear, Snapdragon 720G chipset could power the 4G model. Other expected specs include a 64MP-equipped quad-cameras, USB-C, and 3.5mm jack ports. Let’s wait for more leaks in the coming days.

At the same time, the official support page of the Galaxy A32 5G has also appeared on Samsung UK and Samsung Ireland websites. Hence, it appears that the launch date of the Galaxy A32 5G may not be far away.

The SM-A325F/DS, SM-A525F/DS, and SM-E625F/DS model numbers that have appeared at BIS belong to the forthcoming smartphone such as Galaxy A32 4G, Galaxy A52 4G, and Galaxy F62. There is no word on the identity of the SM-0E25F. The device was spotted with 2.4GHz Wi-Fi support and Android 10 OS at Wi-Fi Alliance certification last month.

The Samsung Galaxy A52 5G could be one of the first A-series smartphones to debut in 2021. Today, the smartphone bagged 3C certification in China. With 3C certification in tow, it seems that the launch date of the A52 5G may not be far away.

At 3C, the Samsung Galaxy A52 has appeared with its SM-A5260 model number. The listing reveals that it is a 5G phone and its retail package may include a 15W charger. It is likely that China could be one of the first markets to receive the A52 5G.

The CAD renders of the Galaxy A52 5G that surfaced last month revealed that it is equipped with a 6.5-inch FHD+ display. It could be housing an OLED panel with an in-screen fingerprint sensor. The backside of the phone could be equipped with a 64-megapixel quad camera setup. The other details of the smartphone are under wraps. It is speculated that it could be priced at $499. Speculations are rife that the Galaxy A32 5G and Galaxy A72 5G smartphones may also go official soon.

Recent reports have revealed that Samsung is working on the Galaxy A52 5G smartphone. The handset had appeared with its model number SM-A526B and Snapdragon 750G chipset at the Geekbench benchmarking platform last month. A new variant of the phone with model number SM-A525F has appeared (via) on the same benchmarking site. It appears to be the 4G edition of the device.

The Geekbench 5 listing reveals that the Galaxy A52 4G is driven by an “atoll” processor, which is nothing but the Snapdragon 720G SoC. The listing further reveals that the phone has 8 GB of RAM and it runs on Android 11 OS.

The Galaxy A52 4G scored 546 in Geekbench’s single-core test and it recorded a score of 1703 in the multi-core test.  There is no word on the other specs of the Galaxy A52 4G. It remains to be seen whether its other specs are identical with its 5G model.

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.

The post Samsung Galaxy A52 5G renders along with key specs leaked appeared first on Gizmochina.

November had quite a bit of launches from companies like ZTE, Samsung, OPPO, and the most expected Redmi’s Note9 series. Although we are officially into the last month of 2020, companies aren’t holding back or relaxing a bit. Thus, let’s look at the upcoming smartphones in December 2020. The list has names from biggies like Huawei, Lenovo, Samsung, OPPO, Vivo, and more. As always we have included few devices that are speculated to arrive this month at the end.

OPPO Reno5 series

Perhaps, the next big launch in China would be the Reno5 series of smartphones. It is rumored to launch on December 10 in China. Anyway, the lineup will likely have three devices- Reno5 5G, Reno5 Pro 5G, Reno5 Pro+ 5G. The entire specs of the device have been leaked ahead of launch.

Reno5 5G will probably have a 6.43-inch 90Hz AMOLED FHD+(1080p) display, Qualcomm Snapdragon 765G 5G SoC, 4,300mAh battery with 65W charging, ColorOS 11. As for the optics, it will likely feature a quad-camera setup with 64MP main, 8MP ultra-wide, two 2MP sensors, and a 32MP selfie shooter.

Reno5 Pro will have similar specs as the Reno5 but a bigger 6.55-inch display, Dimensity 1000+ SoC, and a slightly larger 4,350mAh battery. And as per leaks, the difference between Reno5 Pro and Reno5 Pro+ is a bigger 4,500mAh battery, Snapdragon 865 SoC, and rear cameras. Accordingly, it will most likely include a mysterious Sony IMX7xx 50MP lens, 16MP ultra-wide, 12MP telephoto with 2x optical zoom, and a 2MP macro sensor.

Lenovo Lemon K12 Series 

After confirming the arrival of Lemon brand smartphones, Lenovo has confirmed that the Lemon K12 series of smartphones will launch on December 9 in China. The devices are likely rebranded Motorola phones from Global markets. Accordingly, the Lenovo K12 Pro will be a rebranded version of Moto G9, while the K12 will be a rebrand of Moto E7.

Thus, Lenovo K12 Pro will likely feature a 6.8-inch LCD HD+ display, Qualcomm Snapdragon 662 SoC, 4GB RAM, 128GB storage, triple-camera with 64MP main, two 2MP macro& depth sensors, 16MP selfie shooter, 6,000mAh battery with 20W fast charging.

Huawei Nova8, Honor V40 series

Huawei launched the Nova 8 SE back in November. The company is expected to expand the Nova8 lineup and if reports are true it will happen this month. Certifications received an earlier hint that the lineup will include two more devices- Nova8, and Nova8 Pro. The Pro model will likely feature a dual punch-hole display with curved edges. Sadly, not much is known about the series but the Nova 8 could sport Dimensity 820 SoC, rectangular layout with quad-cameras, while the Pro model will have Dimensity 1000+ SoC.

The Honor V40 series was expected to launch last month. However, a lot happened in December and now Honor is no longer a sub-brand of Huawei. Hence, the V40 series could be the first Honor Smartphones after the split. Although it is rumored to launch in December along with the Nova8 series, some reports say that it might get skipped to Jan 2021. The series will have V40 Pro, V40 Pro+. Reports say that both the devices will have a 6.72-inch FHD+ 120Hz display, 50MP Sony IMX700 RYYB camera, 66W wired & 40W wireless charging, 5G, Dimensity 1000+ SoC(V40), and more.

Vivo X60 series, V20 Pro

After a lot of delays, Vivo has finally confirmed that V20 Pro will launch in India on December 2. To recall, the device launched back in September in China. The Vivo V20 Pro features a 6.44-inch FHD+ AMOLED display, Qualcomm Snapdragon 765G 5G SoC, 8GB RAM, 256GB storage, triple-camera with 64MP, 8MP, 2MP lenses, and a dual-front camera with 44MP main, and 8MP ultra-wide lens, 4,100mAh with 33W fast charging.

Vivo recently launched the OriginOS in China. It is expected to power the new Vivo smartphones going forward. While the company has opened beta registrations for existing devices, its upcoming Vivo X60 series will likely get it out of the box. Reports say that the series will have Vivo X60, X60 Pro, likely feature Samsung Exynos 1080 SoC, and start around 3,500 yuan($532).

The upcoming Galaxy A52 and Galaxy 72 are expected to be the next best-selling smartphones from Samsung. Both these handsets have been leaked once in the past few days. The reports were regarding their cameras. Now, once again, another report from South Korea says that Samsung Electro-Mechanics will be supplying camera modules for the main cameras on these two phones.

According to previous reports, the Galaxy A 52 is said to come with a 64MP quad-camera setup. On the other hand, the Galaxy A72 will be Samsung’s first smartphone with a penta-camera setup. It will also have a 64MP primary sensor and also an 8MP sensor with a 3x telephoto lens. You can learn more about them from here.

Now, a new report by The Elec says that Samsung Electro-Mechanics has won the deal to supply camera modules for the primary (main) cameras on the above-mentioned smartphones. 

This is expected to intensify the competition between other camera module makers in South Korea. That’s because Samsung is reported to launch more multi-camera setup handsets in the coming months. Additionally, some of the high-end Galaxy A series phones are also said to come with OIS (Optical Image Stabilization).

Samsung has been lately focussing more on mid-range smartphones as the Galaxy S20 series did not sell well on account of higher price tags and pandemic. Samsung Electro-Mechanics is known for supplying camera modules for high-end devices but given the current situation, the company announced its plans to enter the mid-range market in July.

The Galaxy A51 has been the best-selling Samsung smartphone globally in 2020 since it launched earlier this year. It even got a 5G variant a few months back for certain regions. Since the device is now almost a year old, information has started pouring in regarding its successor, Galaxy A52.

This Galaxy A52 leak comes from GalaxyClub. The publication reveals this handset to retain quad-camera setup from its predecessor with an upgraded 64MP primary sensor. The other three sensors are expected to be same (ultra-wide, macro, depth) as the former model but their megapixel counts are unknown at the moment.

This is not the first time we are hearing about the Galaxy A52. That’s because the brandings of this phone along with other Galaxy Ax2 series devices were trademarked by Samsung at the beginning of 2020. However, this is the first time its features have been exposed.

That said, Galaxy A51 was officially announced by Samsung in December 2019 but it was made available for purchase only in January 2020. We can expect the South Korean giant to continue the same with the upcoming Galaxy A51.

Since the launch of this handset is still months away, we can look forward to more leaks regarding this device in the coming days like any other new phone debuting in the market.

The revamped Galaxy A-series and the new Galaxy M-series from Samsung had received good reception from users and critics this year. Recent reports have revealed Samsung is working on the launch of its Galaxy A-series and Galaxy M-series smartphones. These phones are expected to break cover starting from the coming year. The Galaxy A51 and Galaxy A71 that were announced in December are expected to be the first Galaxy A-series 2020 phones to go on sale from this month. A tipster on Twitter has revealed that Samsung has trademark for new Galaxy A-series that may possibly debut in 2021. The trademark has been filed with SungAm Suh International Patent & Law Firm in South Korea.

The trademark filings reveal monikers such as Galaxy A12, Galaxy A22, Galaxy A32, Galaxy A42, Galaxy A52, Galaxy A62, Galaxy A72, Galaxy A82 and Galaxy A92. It is too early to talk about the specs of these phones as Samsung is expected to launch them in the coming year.

In 2019, Samsung launched Galaxy A-series phones from A10 to A90 in the first half of the year. In the second of 2019, it released the upgraded versions of those phones. The A-series of phones in 2H 2019 arrived with ‘s’ attached to their names. The South Korean company is expected to follow the same strategy this year. In 2020 first half, it is expected to debut Galaxy A11, Galaxy A21, Galaxy A31, Galaxy A41, Galaxy A51, Galaxy A61, Galaxy A71, Galaxy A81 and Galaxy A91 phones. The latter half of the year may see their upgraded editions such as Galaxy A11s, Galaxy A21s, Galaxy A31s and so on.

Hence, the newly trademarked phones seem to be Galaxy A-series phones for the year 2021. Since the company is expected to continue to launch a wide range of Galaxy A-series smartphone in 2021, it is likely to aggressively price and market the A-lineup this year to increase its popularity.

Some details of the upcoming Galaxy A11, Galaxy A31 and Galaxy A41 had appeared in November. Some reports have claimed that the Galaxy Note 10 Lite that is expected to go official at Consumer Electronics Show (CES) 2020 tech event next week could be rebranded as Galaxy A81 in some markets. The CAD renders of the Galaxy A91v smartphone has also appeared. It could be Snapdragon 865 powered flagship phone that may arrive with a lower price tag than the Galaxy S11 series.
