Updated: The post has been corrected to reflect that the Galaxy A72 comes with a 25W charger. We reported earlier that it ships with a 15W charger. That was an error and we apologize for the misinformation.

Samsung has announced the Galaxy A72 4G smartphone today, unfortunately, the 5G version is missing in action. The new phone comes with upgrades such as a high refresh rate, upgrades cameras, an IP-rating, and a bigger battery capacity.

Galaxy A72 Design

Just as we have seen with a lot of Samsung phones released this year, the Galaxy A72 4G also comes with a display with a centered punch hole. On the back is a camera housing with four sensors and an LED flash. The back of the phone is covered in polycarbonate and one commendable addition is that the Galaxy A72 4G has an IP67 rating making it water (up to 1m for up to 30 minutes) and dust resistant.

Samsung has shown time and time again that it is not afraid of playing with colors and it does that again with the new Galaxy A72. The phone is available in Awesome Black, Awesome Blue, Awesome Violet, and Awesome White.

Galaxy A72 4G specifications

The Galaxy A72 4G has a 6.7-inch FHD+ Super AMOLED display with a brightness of up to 800 nits, SGS Eye Comfort Shield, and a 90Hz refresh rate. Samsung doesn’t say if the device has HDR10, so we will assume it doesn’t just like its predecessor.

The phone swaps the Snapdragon 730 processor of the Galaxy A71 for the Snapdragon 720G and it comes with 6GB/8GB of RAM and 128GB or 256GB of storage. A MicroSD card slot will allow you to add up to an extra 1TB of storage.

You get four rear cameras on the Galaxy A72 4G – a 64MP f/1.8 camera with optical image stabilization, a 12MP f/2.2 ultrawide angle camera with a 123° field of view, an 8MP f/2.4 telephoto camera with OIS and 3x optical zoom, and a 5MP f/2.4 macro camera. Samsung says the phone also has 30x Space Zoom. The front-facing camera is a 32MP sensor.

The Galaxy A72 4G has Dolby Atmos stereo speakers, an audio jack, a USB-C, and an in-display fingerprint scanner. Samsung has bumped the battery capacity to 5000mAh and it supports 25W fast charging like its predecessor. It also comes with a 25W fast charger.

As expected, you get Android 11 pre-installed with Samsung’s One UI 3.0 interface on top.

Galaxy A72 Price and Availability

The phone will be sold for €450/£420 for the base model with 6GB of RAM and 128GB of storage. There is no price yet for the 8GB RAM + 256GB version.

The post Samsung Galaxy A72 4G packs a high refresh rate, IP67 rating, telephoto camera, and more appeared first on Gizmochina.

The Samsung Galaxy A72 is in the news since late September 2020. It is expected to come in two variants (4G, 5G), just like its predecessor Galaxy A71. According to a new leak, the South Korean tech giant will be only introducing the LTE version first. This leak not only reveals the entire specs but also press renders as well as price.

The new information regarding the Galaxy A72 4G comes from Roland Quandt of WinFuture. This leak exposes two things about the phone that we were not aware of earlier. And those are telephoto camera and IP certification.

Staring with the screen, the device will flaunt a 6.7-inch Super AMOLED display with a resolution of 2400 x 1080 pixels (FHD+), 20:9 aspect ratio, and a 90Hz refresh rate. The panel will also include an in-screen fingerprint sensor and a centered punch hole for a 32MP selfie camera.

Further, the back of the handset will house a quad-camera setup consisting of a 64MP primary sensor, 8MP 2x telephoto shooter, 12MP ultra-wide unit, and a 2MP macro snapper. Previously, this device was reported to feature a penta-camera setup. Later, another report revealed it to not feature any zoom module.

Interestingly, the Galaxy A72 4G will also be IP67-certified for dust and water resistance. Its smaller sibling Galaxy A52 is also expected to have this feature. Other features of this smartphone will include a plastic build, dual-SIM, dual-band WiFi, Bluetooth, NFC, 3.5mm headphone jack, USB Type-C port, microSD card slot, Android 11 (One UI 3.x), and a 5,000mAh battery with support for 25W fast charging.

But unfortunately, despite packing a punch, this phone will be powered by a year-old Qualcomm Snapdragon 720G SoC whose performance is similar to the Snapdragon 730 present inside the Galaxy A71 4G. As for colors, the handset will be available in Black, White, Blue, and Violet.

Samsung is expected to launch the Galaxy A72, the successor to one of its 2020 bestsellers, the Galaxy A71 very soon. Just like its predecessor, it is reported to come in both 4G and 5G variants. Ahead of their official announcement, the 4G model has been now certified by FCC.

The listing of the Galaxy A72 4G does not reveal anything new about this smartphone. Instead, it confirms the device (SM-A725M) to come with LTE, dual-band WiFi, NFC, and 25W fast charging, which were already leaked via different certifications.

As far as other specs are concerned, the upcoming Galaxy A72 4G is said to flaunt a 6.7-inch FHD+ AMOLED display with a centered punch-hole and an in-screen fingerprint sensor. Under the hood, it will be featuring a Qualcomm Snapdragon 720G SoC paired with up to 8GB RAM and will run the Android 11 (One UI 3.x) operating system.

Thanks to the 3D CAD renders, we also know that it will come with a USB Type-C port, 3.5mm headphone jack, and the same design as the Galaxy A71 with some tweaks. 

Last but not least, according to a recent leak, the Samsung Galaxy A72 4G will be available in three colors in Europe, namely Denim Blue, Icy White, and Graphite Black. And it will retail for €449 (6GB + 128GB) and €509 (8GB + 256GB) respectively.
