IP67 and amoled is nice but why is there no mentioning of the hybrid dual sim/sd slot. Horrible downgrade compared to A71 full sim/sd slot and certainly a deal breaker...

    Mi note 10pro max is more worth, Samsung midrange phones are over

        At least in Xiaomi, as Xiaomi phones have easier access to unlock the bootloader, there's the alternative of installing Pixel Experience custom ROM. But yeah, it's a hassle, it has lots of risks, and it voids your warranty.

They screwed up by putting slightly thicker bezels making it look less premium than previous year's A51 and A71. Also, they should've put a 765G chipset at least. Other than that, it's not too bad but pricing needs to come down slightly as well if they wanna appeal to audience from less developed countries.

            The only thing I liked about my past Samsung and Xiaomi phones were the themes. The rest of the customizable features I never used.

              People who have lots of money usually do not enter on this site to comment or be interested in other people opinions. They just go and buy whatever they want or like.
              But nowadays, can be a misleading thing, that people who own flagship phones have also lots of money. In my home country Romania I saw in the past lots of people (who work modest jobs without big salaries) having the latest smartphone models. But they buy those phones in installments or with rates from the bank (sometimes even 24 months payments, lol).

                    Lower the price of the A52 4G to the A51 when it was released then, the price of the A52 5G to the current pricing of A52 4G, then the price of the A72 should be the same price of the A71 now; this will be a best seller. They should compete as well in pricing.

                        I think I'll wait for reviews to see if the cameras are as good as they look on paper. A72 looks sweet with that telephoto camera, but its huge size keeps me off from it

                              I think these are a marketing ploy, there's absolutely no value for customers. Buying yesteryears flagship which cost the same as these new will give you much better performance and build quality.

                                  Waiting on reviews, but considering I'm a current A70 owner I was anticipating the A72 being the potential replacement, and I'm not excited so far. Definitely going to be considering used S20 FEs first...

                                      so which one would be the best for camera/video within this price range: A52/A72, Pixel 4a 5G, any other brand/model one can trust? Thanks

                                        Apparently I fell on one of the minorities here by wanting the A72. The slightly larger screen and tele cam sold me. Not to mention the 25W charger is already in the box.
