Xiaomi 12 Lite has a glass back not plastic!

    Anonymous, 25 Jun 2023Because a52s is almost impossible to get in most placesTrue - it wasn't available in the US from last year, and maybe still today -? When I was using it last year July in the east-coast, I was only getting 4G from Tmobile and ATT networks. Not sure if both networks have allowed the 5G to work on the A52s.

I dont know what GSMArena is thinking in terms of over-all 'bang-for-buck' value. I think due to the SD 778-5G (6nm) being 2 years old now compared to A54's Exynos 1380 (5 nm) - Still the comparison between these 2 cpu's are not that far-apart.

        https://www.gsmarena.com/compare.php3?idPhone1=11039&idPhone2=12070

        A52s = AnTuTu: 506432 (v9) , GeekBench: 2801 (v5.1)
        A54 = AnTuTu: 506678 (v9) , GeekBench: 2703 (v5.1)

        The only edge A54 has over A52s is the battery has more capacity which adds a few hours.

            I've returned to GSM arena from about 1 year without reading about phones.
            I feel like everyphone I see here it's like a copy cat. Why the smartphone industry stopped innovating😔, all phones here now looks a like.

              Hoorey ! - my A52s made it to this list as still being considered one of the best midrange all-rounders. Got it last June of 2022 for only 22K and it's the best-bang for the buck!

              This model is considered as a premium mid-range according to Samsung, as the A53 cant even compete due to bad CPU performance.

                Not Brain, 31 Dec 2022I'm confused, should I get Poco m4 pro 4g or realme 8?Both have pros and cons, but i would chose poco m4 pro 4g for better photography and stereo speaker, i chose realme 8 for 4k video + hdr10 chipset but a downgrade photography and mono speaker, if you think choosing for better performance, I'll have you know g96 is not a complete downgrade to g95.

                      Pwbeantown, 12 Jun 2022Only 2 of the phones in this list are currently compatible ... moreI think you have to assume if its Xiaomi or Realme or Oppo its not going to be available for you in the US so look for other options. There's a reason these companies haven't launced in the US when they have in the rest of the world. Gsmarena is looking Globally, Europe, India, China, Asia as a whole, Africa etc. There's so many websites which are designed specifically to focus on US consumers and what is applicable to them and gsmarena is not that

Not a deal breaker different. What Samsung provide better than other android phone producers, is 1 more year update. And to me, that's also not deal breaker, never used any phone from any brand(LG, SAMSUNG, Huawei, Apple, and currently using OP) more that 3 years even though they all were flagships, and here we are talking about midranger.

                                      I feel like the Nord N20 belongs on this list too. You can get it for under $200 these days when on sale and it brings a lot to the table for $200. Even when it was brand new, it was under $300.

                                        Yakisoba, 30 Jul 2022For me, the best mid-range phone for students like me is th... moreYes, of course. But the ultrawide and macro sensors should have been at least 16MP each. Add those higher resolution sensors and we've got the best all-rounder but that would negatively impact the sales of higher-tier Samsung devices so they have kept the camera resolution below 20 MP.
