A few days back, Samsung announced the Galaxy A52s 5G in Europe. The new A-series phone is a slightly upgraded version of the already available Galaxy A52 5G. This smartphone has now made its way to India as well. Let’s take a look at what it offers and how much it costs in the country.

Samsung Galaxy A52s 5G Specifications and Features

The new Samsung Galaxy A52s 5G is a Galaxy A52 5G inside out, except for the chipset. The latest model comes powered by a much powerful Qualcomm Snapdragon 778G SoC instead of a Snapdragon 750G SoC.

The handset sports a plastic build with a matte rear finish. It is IP67-certified for dust and water resistance, measures 159.9 x 75.1 x 8.4mm in dimensions, and weighs 189g. It comes in three colors, namely Awesome Black, Awesome White, and Awesome Violet. Unfortunately, India does not get the Awesome Mint color option.

The device flaunts a 6.5-inch Super AMOLED display with a resolution of 1080 x 2400 pixels (FHD+), a 120Hz refresh rate, and Corning Gorilla Glass 5 protection. The panel has a centered punch-hole (Infinity-O) and 800 nits peak brightness level in high brightness mode (HBM).

Further, there’s a quad-camera setup on the back consisting of a 64MP primary sensor with OIS, a 12MP ultra-wide unit, a 5MP macro snapper, and a 5MP depth sensor. Whereas, on the front, there’s a 32MP shooter for selfies and video calls.

On the connectivity front, the phone supports dual-SIM, 5G (12 5G bands), dual-band WiFi, Bluetooth 5.2, GNSS, NFC, USB Type-C port, and a 3.5mm headphone jack. Other features include dual stereo speakers with Dolby Atmos, an in-display fingerprint sensor, a microSD card slot, Samsung Pay, Samsung Knox, and One UI 3.1 based on Android 11 with 3 years of guaranteed OS updates.

Last but not least, the smartphone is backed by a 4,500mAh battery with support for 25W fast charging. However, it ships with a 15W charger.

After launching the Galaxy A52 5G in March, Samsung has followed it up with a slight refresh in form of the Galaxy A52s 5G. The new phone has most of the specs of its sibling but a more powerful processor.

Galaxy A52s 5G Design

The design has remained unchanged, so you get a flat Infinity-O AMOLED display with a hole in the center for the selfie camera. There are still four cameras on the back and they sit in a rectangular housing that is slightly raised. Buyers will be able to pick up the phone in four colors – Awesome Black, Awesome Mint, Awesome Violet, and Awesome White.

Galaxy A52s 5G Specifications

The Galaxy A52s 5G has a 6/5-inch FHD Super AMOLED screen with a 120Hz refresh rate. There is a 32MP camera inside the hole in the display. Under the hood is the Snapdragon 778G processor and it is paired with 6GB or 8GB of RAM and 128GB or 256GB of storage.

For the rear cameras, Samsung is keeping them at four – a 64MP f/1.8 main camera with OIS, a 12MP f/2.2 ultrawide angle camera, a 5MP f/2.4 macro camera, and a 5MP f2.4 depth sensor.

The Galaxy A52s 5G has an in-display fingerprint scanner. It also has IP67 water and dust resistance. There is a 4500mAh battery under the hood along with support for 25W fast charging. Samsung says users should be able to get 2 days of use from a full charge but that will depend on your usage pattern.

Other features include an audio jack, stereo speakers, a MicroSD card slot, Samsung Pay, and One UI 3 based on Android 11 with features such as RAM Plus for memory expansion and Samsung Knox for security.
