OnePlus just launched the Nord CE 5G: a sort of remake of the original OnePlus Nord hitting the market with not so different specifications but a more affordable price. A lot of people are already wondering whether or not the OnePlus Nord CE 5G is the best value for money phone in the midrange niche: well, there are a lot of rivals in the same range. Two of the best are the Samsung Galaxy A52 and the Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite. Here is a comparison between the specifications of three amazing mid-rangers sold in the global market.

OnePlus Nord CE vs Samsung Galaxy A52 vs Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite

Design

All of these phones are built with polycarbonate, but the Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite still looks gorgeous. The main reason is not only its minimalistic rear cover but also its very thin and lightweight body. It is only 6.8 mm thick and it weighs just 157 grams: one of the thinnest and most lightweight phones released in 2021. Further, it has the IP53 which protects it from dust and splashes, as well as the Gorilla Glass 5 protection for the display. The Samsung Galaxy A52 is thicker, heavier, and less attractive, but it has the IP67 certification making it water resistant up to 1 meter deep for a max of 30 minutes.

Display

The most advanced display is offered by the Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite. It is an AMOLED panel with one billion colors, a 90 Hz refresh rate, a Full HD+ resolution, a 90 Hz refresh rate, and a diagonal of 6.55 inches. It is almost impossible to find a mid-ranger showing one billion colors in the global market this year. Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite wins, but Samsung Galaxy A52 and OnePlus Nord CE 5G still come with great AMOLED displays sporting a Full HD+ resolution and a 90 Hz refresh rate.

Hardware/Software

If you need the strongest hardware department, then you should opt for the OnePlus Nord CE 5G, which is also the only device of the trio to support 5G connectivity. It is equipped with a Snapdragon 750G chipset paired with up to 12 GB of RAM and up to 256 GB of UFS 2.1 native storage. Samsung Galaxy A52 and Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite offer a max of 8 GB of RAM and weaker mobile platforms without 5G connectivity. The phones run Android 11 with highly customized user interfaces.

Camera

The most advanced camera phone is the Samsung Galaxy A52 which sports a quad rear camera including a 64 MP main sensor with OIS, a 12 MP ultrawide sensor, and a pair of 5 MP sensors for macros and depth calculation. On the paper, the silver medal goes to the Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite with a 64 MP main camera, an 8 MP ultrawide sensor, and a 5 MP macro camera. The Samsung Galaxy A52 also offers a better 32 MP front camera which can record videos in 4K resolution.

Battery

Here the fight is between Samsung Galaxy A52 and OnePlus Nord CE 5G. They should offer a similar battery life as they are both equipped with a 4500 mAh battery, an AMOLED display with 90 Hz, and a processor built at 8 nm. Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite has a smaller battery but faster charging with a power of 33W.

OnePlus Nord CE vs Samsung Galaxy A52 vs Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite: Price

OnePlus Nord CE 5G starts from €299/$360 globally, you can find Samsung Galaxy A52 for less than €350/$415, and Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite is the most affordable with its €250/$300 street prices. There is not a definitive winner in this comparison: OnePlus Nord CE 5G has better hardware and 5G support, Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite offers a superior display, faster charging, a thinner and lighter design. Samsung Galaxy A52 has inferior hardware but the best cameras and it is water resistant.

The post OnePlus Nord CE vs Samsung Galaxy A52 vs Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite: Specs Comparison appeared first on Gizmochina.

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 launched the Galaxy A52 and Galaxy A72 smartphones on March 17. The company has revealed the Price, offers, availability of the devices in India and China.

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
  • Samsung Galaxy A72 4G
    • 8GB+128GB- ₹34,999
    • 8GB+256GB- ₹37,999

The devices will be available for purchase starting today (March 19) on Samsung online store. For offers, Samsung has brought introductory offers like cashback up to ₹3,000 for Galaxy A72 and ₹2,000 for Galaxy A52 when using HDFC Credit/Debit cards.

For EMI transactions via Zest money, the Galaxy A52 gets a ₹1,500 cashback while the Galaxy A72 gets a ₹2,000 off. Other offer includes no-cost EMI across major banks and NBFC partners.

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 post Samsung Galaxy A52 ships with a 15W charger despite supporting 25W fast charging appeared first on Gizmochina.

Tipster Evan Blass has provided some tips on the possible lineup of gadgets slated for release by tech giant Samsung from April to August 2021. This is coming on the heels of the launch today of the much expected Galaxy A-series comprising the Galaxy A32, A52, and A72 together with their 5G versions during Samsung’s Unpacked event.

The leaked timeline rightly shows the Galaxy A- series models would launch on March 17. It also shows that several other Unpacked events have been lined up for the coming months to highlight a variety of products from the company.

The timeline equally suggests that in April 2021, another Unpacked event will signpost the unveiling of a number of computing devices including the Galaxy Chromebook and the Galaxy Book laptop PCs. It is projected that this event will hold specifically on 14 April, although tentatively.

The next event would not come up until June 2021, as attention would shift to Samsung’s Android offerings. A more affordable version of the Galaxy Tab S7 Lite is expected to go official. This is expected to follow the recent trend of Samsung producing a less expensive version of its high-end Android devices so as to still retain a segment of the smartphone market as it relates to Android smartphones. No tentative date was fixed for the June event.

In July, the Galaxy A22 will make its entry into the market, together with its 5G version. The A22 is seen as a successor of the S21 lineup. According to Bass, the Galaxy A82 5G will also be unveiled in July 2021. The Galaxy A82 5G is predicted to come with a dual-use camera module. No date was predicted for the unveiling in July.

Usually for Samsung, August is a very busy month of activities and an Unpacked event for the Galaxy S21 FE is predicted to hold on 19 August. So, as usual, we should be expecting the release of new Galaxy Note devices signposting the August event.

Unfolding events will determine whether the leak is authentic or just mere speculation taken too far. But so far, the Galaxy A32, A52, and A72 are launched as scheduled os, this might just be an authentic leak. We should also add that the tipster has got a high level of credibility.

There’s a lot going on in Samsung’s camp lately. The company is bumping up the displays on budget devices to 90Hz, planning to bring more 5G phones in 2021. But before that, it is holding an Awesome Galaxy Unpacked event on March 17 where it is said to unveil the Galaxy A52 and A72 smartphones. Amidst a flurry of leaks, their pricing for India has now been leaked.

To clear your mind, Samsung is likely to reveal only the 4G version of Galaxy A52 and the Galaxy A72 in India. The Galaxy A52 5G might launch in the future under the M-series but let’s focus on what’s coming next week. Below are the prices, memory variants of the devices courtesy of MySmartPrice:

• Samsung Galaxy A52
  • 6GB + 128GB(SM-A525FG)- ₹26,499($364)
  • 8GB + 128GB(SM-A525FH)- ₹27,999($385)
• Samsung Galaxy A72
  • 8GB + 128GB- ₹34,999($481)
  • 8GB + 256GB- ₹37,999($522)

Although the price of Galaxy A52 is a bit less than the expected European pricing, it is sad to see that Samsung is skipping the 256GB storage variant for India. It’s also worth noting that the Galaxy A72’s starting price is about ₹5,000 than the predecessor’s launch price.

Talking about the differences of the Galaxy A52 4G and 5G models, the devices will differ in display, chipset but share a lot of similarities. The Galaxy A52 4G is expected to feature a 6.52-inch Super AMOLED Full HD+ display with 2400 x 1080 pixels screen resolution.

Here, the 4G variant will probably get a 90Hz refresh rate and 5G would get a 120Hz screen. Under the hood, the Galaxy A52 4G is said to feature Snapdragon 720G chipset. Having skipped the 5G on the Galaxy A72, Samsung will likely launch the exact same 4G device in multiple markets.

Samsung is set to launch the Galaxy A52 and Galaxy A72 smartphones very soon. Leaked screenshots say(via @FrontTron) that the Unpacked event could be as early as March 17. Ahead of this, the devices are reportedly up for pre-orders.

Twitter user Alvin has shared screenshots of the Galaxy A72 and Galaxy A52 pre-order pages that are live in Indonesia. Accordingly, the devices have the following prices:

• Samsung Galaxy A52:
  • 8GB + 128GB – Rp. 4,999,000($347)
  • 8GB + 256GB – Rp. 5,399,000($374)
• Samsung Galaxy A72:
  • 8GB + 128GB – Rp. 5,999,000($416)
  • 8GB + 256GB – Rp. 6,399,000($444)

We aren’t sure if these are the official pricing for the Indonesian market. If you recall, an earlier report said that the Galaxy A52 will start at €349 while the Galaxy A72 will be sold from €449 in Europe.

Moving on, the Specs of the Galaxy A52 and Galaxy A72 have also been revealed on the pre-order pages and they seem to mostly match with the earlier leaks. The Galaxy A52 is said to come in 4G/5G models with Snapdragon 720G/750G chipset respectively.

However, the Galaxy A72 4G will likely stick to the 4G connectivity with Snapdragon 720G chipset. Although both of them are said to have stereo speakers and Dolby Atmos for a 3D surround-sound experience, the Galaxy A72 will exclusively have 30x Space Zoom, Advanced Game Booster,  Microsoft Xbox Game Pass support.

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

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.

Besides, things are a bit clumsy with respect to the third OnePlus 9 device as some fake leaks are circling around. So far it is said to be called OnePlus 9R and tipped to feature Snapdragon 865 chipset and sale for around $600.

There’s also a OnePlus smartwatch expected alongside the flagships.

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 India has opened support pages for two new devices- SM-A525F/DS and SM-A725F/DS. If you recall, these are the Galaxy A52 and A72 courtesy of previous reports. It is likely the 4G variant of the device as the 5G model has the model number A526B(via FCC).

Similarly, the Galaxy A72’s model number is A725F as seen before on certifications like NBTC. Also, if you aren’t aware, Twitter user Max Jambor claims that a 5G variant for the Galaxy A72 doesn’t exist.

The post Samsung Galaxy A52 and A72 4G devices launching soon in India, Support pages go live appeared first on Gizmochina.

Samsung is expected to launch a couple of Galaxy A-series smartphones in the coming weeks but ahead of the official launch, details about the devices keep surfacing online. After details of Galaxy A72 leaked, now details of the upcoming Galaxy A52 and A52 5G have surfaced online through WinFuture.

As the naming itself confirms, the key difference between both models is the connectivity. Coming to the launch, there’s no specific date known yet but the devices are expected to go official by the end of this year or in early March.

Now, coming to the specifications, the standard Samsung Galaxy A52 is powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 720G SoC while the 5G variant will come packed with the Snapdragon 750G chipset.

Apart from the difference in connectivity and chipset, both the smartphones are almost the same — both in terms of design as well as specifications. Both will come in two memory configurations — 6GB + 128GB and 8GB + 256GB.

Both the devices feature a 6.52-inch Super AMOLED Full HD+ display with 2400 x 1080 pixels screen resolution, 90Hz refresh rate, and an under-display optical fingerprint sensor for added protection.

The smartphones will feature a quad-camera setup on the back where the four camera sensors and an LED flash are placed on a rectangular module. The whole setup is placed on the top-left corner of the phone.

They will be running the latest Android 11 operating system with Samsung One UI 3 on top. The devices also have NFC support as well as an IP67 rating, making them water and dust resistant. The phones are powered by a 4,500mAh battery and come with support for 25W fast charging.

The Samsung Galaxy A52 models will come in four colors — Awesome White, Awesome Black, Awesome Blue, and Awesome Violet. The 4G variant is expected to start at €349 while the 5G variant will start at €429.

The post Samsung Galaxy A52 and A52 5G images, specs, and pricing details leak online appeared first on Gizmochina.

The rate at which the Samsung Galaxy A52 is leaking suggests that the device might go official anytime now. The latest to join are the images along with some specs appearing on TENAA.

If you recall, Samsung Galaxy A52 got listed on  China’s TENAA two weeks ago. However, we didn’t have any info on the device. That ends today as the listing(via) now shows dimensions, display, and battery specs of the device. Under the model number SM-A5260, TENAA shows that the device will measure 159.9 x 75.1 x 8.4mm.

Talking about the images, we see a Black variant listed with quad rear camera layout, power button, and volume buttons on the right, and centered punch-hole upfront. This goes in line with the earlier leak that said Samsung Galaxy A52‘s design won’t be that different from the predecessor.

Further, the listing shows that the display will be of 6.46-inch in size which going by the past should be an sAMOLED display. The images show that it is the Infinity-O display as shown before. Moving on, the device will likely have a 4,500mAh battery which is a bit higher than the 4,000mAh on the Galaxy A51.

Other information on TENAA includes Android 11 OS, support SA/NSA 5G, and Dual-SIM connectivity.

Galaxy A52- Specifications (Expected)

Samsung Galaxy A52 is expected to arrive in Awesome Black, Awesome White, Awesome Violet, and Awesome Blue colors and in 4G and 5G version. The former will likely have Snapdragon 720G chipset while the latter could sport Snapdragon 750G. The 5G variant is heading to multiple markets including India.

Other expected specs include a 64-megapixel quad-camera system,  15W charging, run Android 11 OS, 6/8GB RAM, 128/256GB storage, and a starting price of ~$450.

The post Samsung Galaxy A52 images appear on China’s TENAA 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 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.

The post Samsung Galaxy A52 5G variant is coming to India: Report appeared first on Gizmochina.

Samsung Galaxy A52 is one of the company’s expected A-series of devices this year. A couple of days back a massive leak revealed the renders and specs of the device. Now, it appears on the HTML5 test page courtesy of the Sammobile report.

Accordingly, a Samsung device with model SM-A526B appears on the HTML5 test page. Now, if we recall, a device with a similar model number appeared on Geekbench. The device is likely to be a variant of Galaxy A52 considering Samsung’s pattern of model numbers in the past. That said, the test page shows that the device is tested on Android 11 suggesting that it will debut with the latest OS.

However, if you ask me if it would carry Samsung’s One UI 3.0, or the already in-works One UI 3.1, I will vote for the former. The reason being, Samsung has so far kept new iterations of it’s UI with the flagship launches. And considering the A52 5G is rumored to debut before the Galaxy S21 series, it is unlikely for it to have the One UI 3.1.

UP NEXT: Samsung’s One UI 3.0(Android 11) update timeline for Europe revealed

That said, these are our speculations, and hence, let’s wait for the official launch. Moving on, the report says that the device will also have an FHD+ display with a resolution of 2,400×1,080 pixels. If you recall, an earlier leak by @Onleaks revealed that Galaxy A52 5G will have a 6.5-inch display with an Infinity-O punch-hole at the center.

As mentioned above, the earlier benchmark indicates that it will feature a Snapdragon 750G SoC. If leaks are true, the device won’t differ much from the predecessor, Galaxy A51. And have a similar GLasstic back(with metallic frame), rectangular layout with quad-cameras, AMOLED display with in-display fingerprint sensor, and 3.5mm audio jack.

Other probable specs are a 64MP camera supplied by Samsung Electro-Mechanics, and a similar $499 price tag as the predecessor.
