Plastic back is cheap rubbish.
Snapdragon S7 series is worser than S845, is better, .
Better off buying S10, with the same price

The thing with these units is that offerings have been different per region, i think. As I can see, in my region, both A72 and A52 have 25W charger out of box. Aside from that, the only difference is their battery capacity and the camera system (the storage option is only 256GB with 8GB ram). In which case, it's even hard to go with A72.

Being a former Xiaomi user, i did consider the Note pro 10, but battery seems to be very poor, especially compared to A72;s, cameras are also lacking, IP rating. Maybe Note's speakers are a bit better but that's all. A72 is a better phone. And that's a first. Samsung's mid-rangers have always been mediocre compared to Xiaomi's, but now things have changed.

Compared this phone against my friend's OnePlus 8, and apart from the speed bump, A72 is literally better than Oneplus 8 in every aspect. I love this phone

This phone is proof that outside of a small enthusiast community, people don't really care about soc unless it actually hampers the user experience. I mean, I have seen people dissing sd855 in the comments section calling it old and slow. This phone has good display, good cameras, good battery life, stereo speakers, sd slot, 3.5mm jack ,reasonably fast charging, Samsung's promised updates (which they are actually delivering mostly) and the Samsung brand name which comes with a wonderful service infrastructure.
This is a perfect entertainment machine and that's all most people need.

Since I don't have any shame, I would go for used flagship and get a new battery.

People just like to bad talk this phone just for the chipset, and forget about the whole package, which is very complete. Those who have bought this phone are truly happy with it, and those who just like to hate will just keep trashing and promote a cheap phone that is full of bugs.
Not everyone is a gamer, or needs the fastest chip that exists. Some people just want a regular phone like this one, and regular is a huge understatement to refer to this phone, honestly.
But yeah, keep hating, and keep focusing on the ONE thing that you didn't like about this phone. I'm quite sure this phone will outlast any of those xiami phones you keep trying to push as "better".

No phone is better than Mi note series for battery and now for camera. Note 10max pro will eat Samsung's for breakfast. Their new camera is so good for half price than Samsung

Priced too High. In this economy buying things for name doesn't make any sense. 25k would be appropriate for this device, but instead Samsung galaxy overpriced this phone. But mi max Pro anyday

And batteries deteriorate fast so it's really not worth paying tons of money for a new flagship you'll have to replace 2 years later (Sure you can replace the battery, but then i image you're gonna lose the ip rating. And it's uncertain you'll be able to find a fresh battery). And a cheaper, used flagship? LOL. This shouldn't even be discussed seriously.

Battery degrades over time. The same battery hold less charge than it can last year when the phone was brand new. That's why I don't buy second hand phones.
