Some Samsung Galaxy device owners have been complaining about audio issues on their devices while gaming. While some say that it began with the latest One UI 4 update, some have also stated that it has been present since forever. Affected phones are mostly high-end models including the Galaxy S10, Galaxy S20, Galaxy S21, Galaxy Z Flip 3, Galaxy Z Fold 2, Galaxy Z Fold 3, and the Galaxy A52 5G.

Users say that audio when gaming sounds rather flat and sometimes even distorted, despite it being totally fine in all other scenarios like with music streaming apps and the like (via SamMobile). It was initially thought that it’s Dolby Atmos that’s to be blamed but turning it off resulted in little to no difference.

The issue seemingly affects low and mid-range audio frequencies the most and is most noticeable on phones with high-quality loudspeakers. Wired or wireless earphones are not as affected.

Oddly, turning on screen recording seems to fix the problem. But that’s obviously not the ideal solution since not only is it quite heavy on resources but also eats up a lot of storage. And on top of that, it also reportedly disables 120 FPS on supported games.

A good demonstration of the problem has been given in the video embedded below.

But despite the growing number of complaints, Samsung is yet to acknowledge the gaming audio issues on any of its Galaxy devices. There is hence no fix in sight. Most official responses on the Samsung Members forum suggest resetting the affected phone as a possible solution but that doesn’t help at all.

We thus suggest Galaxy device owners to take their issue to the community forums and even Twitter to pull Samsung’s attention to it.

Samsung launched the Galaxy A52 4G and Galaxy A52 5G a few days ago. However, the company only brought the 4G variant to countries like India. Now, as suspected earlier, it looks like the 5G variant will come under the Galaxy M-series to the country as it gets certified by BIS.

A Samsung device with model number SM-M626B/DS has got India’s BIS certification. Courtesy of Ankit(@technoAnkit1), the listing suggests that the device would debut in India as Galaxy M62. Before you get to know-how, you should note that we spotted a similar device on Bluetooth SIG a while ago.

Further, this model number is also reminiscent of the Galaxy A52 5G(SM-A526B/DS) that is on markets like Europe. All these, along with the name ‘Galaxy M62’ on the SIG listing make us believe that it should be the rebadged Galaxy A52 5G for India.

Samsung generally focuses on the Axx series for the offline markets. The Galaxy A51 was one of the most shipped devices and contributed more to the company’s market share. The M-series, on the other hand, is focused mostly on the online audience and Samsung is doing it to vent out the competition in India whilst grabbing itself a bite.

In that case, the 5G version could make sense to India(despite the auction for 5G spectrum is still pending). Anyway, let’s wait and see if Samsung finalizes the idea of launching the Galaxy M62 5G in the country.

All in all, if Galaxy M62 5G launches as a rebadged Galaxy A52 5G, it should feature a 6.5-inch Infinity-O AMOLED FHD+ display with a 90Hz refresh rate, Snapdragon 750G chipset, 64MP quad-camera setup, 4,500mAh battery with 25W charging, & more.

Under the hood, the Galaxy A52 4G is powered by Snapdragon 720G chipset while the 5G variant has an Octa-core chipset with 2x cores at 2.2GHz + and 6x cores clocked at 1.8GHz. This is probably the Snapdragon 750G chipset. Apart from internal storage, the devices also come with a MicroSD for storage expansion up to 1 TB.

For cameras, we have a Quad-camera setup with a 64MP f/1.8 lens with OIS, 12MP f/2.2 ultrawide, 5MP f/2.4 macro, and a 5MP f/2.4 depth sensor. Upfront, there is a 32MP f/2.2 front camera.

Earlier today, we reported that Galaxy M42 5G could be a rebadge of the Galaxy A42 5G. Now, it looks like the company will re-launch the upcoming Galaxy A52 5G also as an M-series device.

A Samsung smartphone with model number SM-M626B and SM-M626B_DS appears on the Bluetooth SIG listing. This listing also has an SM-A526B and SM-A526B_DS which is nothing but the upcoming Galaxy A52 5G. Also, the SM-M62B appears on the listing as the Samsung Galaxy M62 5G.

That’s not the first time we have heard of the Galaxy M62. The device, which is an LTE variant, is itself a rebadged Galaxy F62 from India. It launched recently in markets like Malaysia. And looking at the latest Bluetooth SIG listing, it is possible that the device might get a 5G variant in some markets.

Samsung’s M and F-series of affordable devices are more popular in Asian markets especially in countries like India. The company emphasizes more on the features and pricing in addition to marketing them well online. It has been launching a variety of devices under the series lately including the recently launched Galaxy M12.

That said, the company is also expected to bring the Galaxy A52 to these countries as the 2021 A5x iteration but only with 4G support. So, we can’t rule out the possibility that Samsung might bring the 5G variant of this device under the M-series to garner more audience.

In that case, the Galaxy M62 5G will likely feature a 6.52-inch Super AMOLED Full HD+ display with 2400 x 1080 pixels screen resolution, 90Hz refresh rate, Snapdragon 750G chipset, 64MP quad-cameras, 4,500mAh battery with 25W charging, and more.

Looks like Samsung wants to bump the M-series and A-series devices having displays with 90Hz, and 5G connectivity this year. Let’s wait for more info in the coming days.

The post Samsung Galaxy M62 5G could be a rebadged version of Galaxy A52 5G appeared first on Gizmochina.

Samsung has announced an ‘‘Galaxy Awesome Unpacked’ event on March 17 and the mid-range Galaxy A52 and A72 devices are said to be the showstoppers. We are still a week away from the unveiling but a YouTuber named Moboaesthetics has already unboxed the Galaxy A52 5G to reveal its in-box contents and features.

Right off the bat, we see a cover with the ‘FMP’ logo on the box packaging and it leads us to a retailer website in Saudi Arabia. The model number of this Samsung Galaxy A52 is SM-A526B/DS and the 5G variant inside comes in ‘Awesome Black’ color and 128GB storage.

Speaking of which, the device is said to come in both 4G and 5G variants in respective markets. You can read our extensive coverage to know more about it. Moving on, after opening the box, we see the device itself.

The wrapper covered on the device says “Infinity-O display, Quad camera (64MP with OIS), IP67 water & dust resistant”. The following are the in-box contents of the Galaxy A52 5G:

• Samsung Galaxy A52 5G
• Documentation
• Clear Silicon case(TPU)
• 15W Charger(USB-A input)*
• USB-A to USB-C cable
• SIM ejector pin

*Note- Unlike the marquee that says 25W adapter in the video, the charger actually has a maximum output of 9V@1.67A which is about 15W. You can see for yourself in the images below:

Also, as you can see above, the YouTuber says that the device runs One UI 3.1 out of the box. As for the design and looks, it is the same as the leaked renders. We have a hybrid SIM slot and a mic on the top, Volume & power buttons on the right.

The device has a 64MP + 8MP+ 5MP + 2MP quad-camera setup on the rear, 32MP selfie camera tucked inside the punch-hole AMOLED display. At the bottom, there is a USB-C port, speaker, primary mic, and 3.5mm audio jack.

Initial firmware of the Galaxy A52 5G variant in Saudi Arabia seems to have camera features like Single take, 2x optical, 0.5x(ultra-wide), and macro options. For gamers, PUBG seems to be limited to HD graphics at high frame rates(30fps) while the COD Mobile is maxing out at ‘Very High’ Graphics.

We are sure that Samsung would enable higher fps before the launch or via a firmware update considering the 5G version has Snapdragon 750G chipset. That said, the 4G variant is likely to have similar in-box contents, features whilst having a different SoC(Snapdragon 720G).

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.

As far as other specifications are concerned, the 4G variant will be powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon 720G SoC while the 5G version will come with Qualcomm Snapdragon 750G chipset. The duo will feature 6GB/8GB RAM, 128GB/256GB internal storage, 32MP selfie camera, IP67 certification, 3.5mm headphone jack, MicroSD card slot, NFC, Android 11 (One UI 3.x), 4,500mAh battery, and 25W fast charging.

Last but not least, the Galaxy A52 will be available in four colors ( Awesome White, Awesome Black, Awesome Blue, Awesome Violet) and will start at €349 and €429 for 4G and 5G variants respectively.

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.

Samsung Galaxy A52 5G is IP67 certified explained.https://t.co/VaS90EMaI0

— Abhishek Yadav (@yabhishekhd) February 11, 2021

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.
