It has no Android, no Google services and play store, so it is only a champ in china. They better patch up with Android or will end up like BlackBerry.

    I recently got the a52 5G, mostly because I couldn't get the Pixel5a overnight.
    I saw a few spec watchers online and wanted to comment about A52 usability. First, A52 is a darn heavy phone and it draws a lot of battery power. Looks like the 5a weight went way up with the nee bigger battery. The A52 can drain the battery in 6 hours unless you disable most of the apps. The Samsung Ui is a matter of preference, I don't like the Ui and I don't like Bixby. Display in sunlight is not so bright. I much prefer the simple software interface on the Pixel. The A52 optical fingerprint reader is slower. On the other hand, I like the external SD and waterproof specs. So... maybe the A52 5G looks good on paper. I don't really love the phone. The 5a seems to have addressed the waterproof disparity but not the expandable memory issue.

        Me, 26 Aug 2021Agreeonly a blind will seek to buy this undergraded phone with some outdated sensores. Rare fingerprint on this phone is one downside. Huawei is the best champ on deck.

            Was planning to get a M52 this year but apparently Samsung decided to downgrade battery of the M series. If this phone becomes available in my country I will buy it.

                    These are arriving early for some of us. I received mine earlier today and it's quite nice. I actually had a Pixel 5 that was destroyed beyond repair and opted to replace it with the 5a and it's....well, freakishly similar feeling. Not a bad thing though.

I had a Sony phone a few years ago with side mounted fingerprint sensor, and while it worked OK I really did not like it as much as a rear mounted one...so YMMV.

                        Google is yet again insulting 90% of the world by selling the phone in only 2 countries. Even for googles abismal track record for pixel availability this is a new low.

                          Great smartphone, but it would be enough to have a Snapdragon 875 for this smartphone.

                            Stanley Kubrick, 20 Aug 2021Because that the best. Always was and always will be.No sir. The best is side mounted. You don't have to lift your phone to unlock it.

                              looks kinda nice, let's see hows the battery life and the camera with one less sensor

                                Mine shipped today - due Friday.

                                    Is it true that, if you record 4K 60fps video by pixel 5a. It's become hot within 3 or 4 minutes and stop to video recording.

                                      I'm waiting for this phone

                                        Waiting for India release. Given they have now discontinued 4a and 5. They will divert the resources of building those to increase production of 5a. It should soon be announced for India.
