Got a simple question (but answer won’t be easy): A72 or s21 for camera?

    「IP67 ingress protection rating. This is a first for the Galaxy A family and is very much appreciated.」
    The first Galaxy A family with waterproof protection were Galaxy A8/A8+ (2018).

      Asian ppl use their phones to play 3d video games, as a portable gaming console, so they need and want powerful socs in phones to be able to play smoothly these games.
      Other ppl just want socs to do simple tasks (multimedia: videos, music, socials...) with low power consumption to maximize battery life (and for that sd socs are better than exynos period).

            I purchased Samsung galaxy A72 last month at Dubai. But one disadvantage in this phone is if we used 2 Sims then not able to insert micro sd card, either use one sim and one sd card . If I know this before purchase then I have never been purchase. Cost also more, what is to be done, is there any chance to alterate both sims and sd card to be used in one slot. If not then not to purchase this phone. Before launching they didn't mention the above facts.

                decp, 03 May 2021Guys hello, does anybody know when is the 5G model will be ... moreA72 5g will never be released, A72 will be only 4g.
                Instead of a 5g version for the A72 (like with the A52) , Samsung has planned the A82 (5g only), which is called A Quantum 2 in South Korea. Leaks with specs have appeared on the web (even here on gsmarena) , ask it to you favorite search engine if you want to know more about this phone.

                  Those benchmark scores are not really accurate, I think they're manipulated. I have a 4GB ram variant of A52 and I'm getting a score of 280766 on AnTuTu Benchmark and there's no way A52 can score higher than A72. Either GSM made a mistake or they're trying to give Chinese brands a good name.

I really would like to discuss with smartphone manufacturers on what they think of their customers...

                      You forget the biggest con for this phone: It only has a hybrid dual-sim/sd-slot instead of a full tripple slot. Dealbreaker for many using dual sim and sd-card at the same time... A pitty - otherwise a good phone....

The OP7T is a good candidate of this, it has an 855+, 90hz display etc. and costs less than this now and has gotten better via software updates. another one would be a Note 10 which i found for $435 (refurbished) on eBay. Even Samsung S10's in crisp condition for these prices (around $400). and plus the 855/+ chips are noticeably more powerful than the mid-range 700 chips both in gaming and everyday use.

But a mid-ranger with 3x zoom, OIS, IP67, stereo speakers, great battery (Which also depends on the processor, so it can have 5000mah battery and still have poor battery life)? Well, that's the only one. And that's why i switched from Xiaomi to Samsung. Note 10 pro has worse display (Yes, the refresh rate is not what matters the most. It's darker and the overall quality is worse as youtube reviews show compared to A72), worse camera, worse IP rating and worse battery. Why would anyone who doesn't play games chose the Note? Because apps will load a few miliseconds faster? Get a life, dudes. Or at least get a Note if that's what's important for you.

                                        And "4 year support is worthless"? Well, it doesn't surprise me this kind of mentality from a Xiaomi follower, since there is no support whatsoever from Xiaomi, and you need to constantly flash the phone with third party custom roms to try to fix all the bugs that software has.
