        Gsmarena is getting lazier day by day. First they dropped the headphone audio test and now they are slowly out phasing the delta E calculation numbers. Might as well drop the lab test header for something like Feel and Vibe tests. These test results are the one objective aspect that have kept them and their written reviews so relevant in times of subjective YouTube reviews. And what about the Netflix HDR compatibility. So many people use their phones as a Netflix binge gadget and yet such a big company doesn't have a Premium Netflix plan to check this aspect for their readers. Either its there or its not. Have consulted this website for over a decade from the Nokia 5800 times to buy phones so its really sad to see such complacency creep into their work. Might as well just stick to subjective YouTube reviews at this rate.

Very few of them ois, a good sensor and mainly software optimization. Galaxy A52, iPhone SE 2, Pixel 4a currently have the best cameras. And no one can beat them.

                Anonne, 25 Mar 2021No, there is a case, really. In review and unboxing videos ... moreEurope usually doesn't get a case either. I didn't have one but I buy better ones anyway.

                  Terrible camera and trashed in every regard by the recent Chinese competition as far as i can see. I have no idea what the positive remarks from people are based on.

                    Android - Prime, 25 Mar 2021There isn't any free jelly case in the Indonesia unit ... moreNo, there is a case, really. In review and unboxing videos in Youtube, there is a silicon case. Proofs:

                      Anonymous, 25 Mar 2021is it worth upgrading to A52 from pixel 3A XL? I bought the... moreI think it’s really worth it to upgrade to Galaxy A52. Samsung’s OneUI is one of the best and smoothest software. Also the promise of 3 major Android update makes it better than Pixel. Galaxy A52 is offering everything that can be considered as upgrade over Pixel 3a. Go for it 👍

                        Another alternative, from my point of view, would be the galaxy A51 5G; the exynox 980 has next gen ARM cores, offering better performance and 5G support. Also, it has a metal frame, instead of plastic one on A52.
                        And it's much cheaper than A52 4G, about $280 for new unlocked device on ebay in US.

                            So it gets 4.1 with only 3 cons, but OnePlus 9 which is overpriced, get's 4.3 with near 8 cons.
                            This phone is best thing Samsung did in last years.

                              This phone is quite solid but I'll still go for the a72 because I want that slightly bigger screen and more importantly the bigger battery. The 3x telephoto camera is also a nice addition to justify the higher price tag too

                                I can't believe Samsung actually delivered an amazing phone for a reasonable price. Like the others said, this is definitely their response to Xiaomi and Realme and I'm here for it.

                                  I'll wait for A72 review. I think the camera could be better and needs some tweaking. Perhaps in an update they will fix some of that stuff

                                    Anonne, 25 Mar 2021In Indonesia A52 ships with a transparent jelly case, so it... moreThere isn't any free jelly case in the Indonesia unit either, it seems like they stopped doing that starting from when s21 series were released. I don't particularly mind that because I will always buy a better case anyway

                                      Samsung did a fine job here. A51 was already a good phone but with the A52 they went further.
                                      I recon this phone will sell like hot cakes, by the millions in 2021 and even 2022 because it seems a solid phone and probably a lot of people will keep it for at least 3 years or more...
                                      This is clearly a response to Xiaomi, Realme, Oneplus etc

                                        I just bought the A52 pink version for my mom & she loves it. I think 1 of the best features, besides the many mentioned in the article, is the 3 years OS updates & 4 years of security updates. No other Chinese OEM can promise that.
