    Excellent phone overall but Samsung should have sticked to the three slots configuration (2 Sims and 1 SD) like the A70 and A71 instead of forcing potential buyers to choose between their second sim or their SD card.

        Fins, 09 Jun 2021It is only one sim card storage? Not in dual sim? Pls. Ans... moreHi. I recently purchased it and good news for you, it has dual sim

          Coming from a galaxy s9+ duos lilac purple Belgian variant with 64 gb of storage.

          Lost "performance" and lots of functions that I never really used. 90 hertz for daily usage.

          The other phone got battery software draining and even factory resetting by the recovery didn't do anything.

          This A72 is awesome... why paying over 1000€ when we can have a phone for basic daily usage for ±400€

          Nice

            Brostar, 06 Jun 2021Why did they ruin this series, smaller screen to body ratio... moreAlthough, a telephoto seems hard to come by at a decent price. Along with a big battery (5000mAh powering a small 8nm SoC), it seems to be great for video production, aside from the apparent inconveniences (slow CPU, slow fingerprint scanning and slow charging). Great review, GSM!

                  Why did they ruin this series, smaller screen to body ratio, a horrible plastic back, not glastic rainbow effect, heavier, slower finger print reader. The A71 was way better. The new power brick charges slower, a full night with the new brick, 1 hour with the A71 brick.

                    LawnBean76, 13 May 2021Definitely s20 fe. Older flagship over budget line any and ... moreIt depends on market. In my market S20 FE costs Rs120000 PKR and A72 Costs around 67000 PKR. Almost a little low than double the price. But if your market doesn't have such a huge difference then i would also prefer S20 FE

                        (Sigh) benchmarks aren't absolute. The scores depends on various factors including ambient temperature, Surface temperature, CPU and GPU Loads at the time of running benchmarks, background app management, software optimization etc. Even then benchmarks are meant to give you a fair idea of the device's capability. It shouldn't be taken at face value, real life performance is all that matters.

                            So what distinguishes between a52 and a72 is the width of the screen and battery capacity
