Not Apple Fan, 14 Aug 2021Apple won't go down. Why do you think that? Apple has ... moreDethrone Apple? Lol Samsung has been no.1 for quite a long tym now.
Keep living in your bubble where you think Apple is no.1 when clearly Apple has been no.2 or no.3 most of the time

          If it did not have an OLED screen then I would buy it, but it has an OLED screen that cause headache... because it use PWM, screen flickering at low frequency, to reduce screen brightness!

I got this for my wife and it works much, much better than the scanner on my S21 Ultra. So if this is the only reason for you not to buy the phone, think again because it is a non-issue due to the different type of scanner utilised on the A52 5G, like most of the "A" series phones.

              This can be clearly seen in the YouTube bend test for phones

                I was going to buy it until I saw that it has the under display fingerprint reader. Not interested in having to experience this nightmare ever again. I know a ton of people who refuse to buy Samsung phones now because of the horrible implementation of this half-baked technology. What's wrong with having a side fingerprint reader?

                    There are so many Android phone manufacturers out there and yet still cannot detrone Apple.

                    Common sense yo. Get some.

                      Most of the apple sales are in the US
                      and if google pixel kicks in with pixel 6 probably apple goes down

                        Studio shots are disappointing.

                            Dometalican, 14 Aug 2021You guys aren't wrong about the price but you have to ... moreThat's because even before trade sanctions, companies had realised that america is NOT a vital market to serve, if only HTC and some others had realised the same thing ten years ago, compromising phones towards americans costs more sales elsewhere than it gains in America.
                            Only 400m,out of market of about 4 billion,me, I'd ignore America.

                              You guys aren't wrong about the price but you have to understand (in a similar manner to the OnePlus N10 5G), this is one of the only like 4 mid-rangers we have in the US. The Xperia 10 is here but this is better. Then there's TCL (no one talks about those phones) and that's it. No LG, no Realme, no Xiaomi/Redmi, no Meizu, no Vivo, nothing.

                                They are implementing a software version of this sensor as "virtual proximity sensor".

                                    Remove the depth and macro.
                                    Add a 52-55mm.
                                    Put glass on the back.
                                    Excellent midrange.

                                      Weird that the price difference between S20 FE and A52 5G (256 GB version) is 125 euros in my country, instead of just 60 euros. If you don't care for the additional storage, you can save another 60 euros to get the 128 GB version. Then, 185 euros is a significant price difference, isn't it?

                                        Why you don't mention about proximity sensor (or actually lack of it) in review and how it works? It's been obvious in past years until samsung and others started making it virtual one and it is annoying for some people. I was about to buy S20FE or this A52 but when I figured out how it works I said NO to both of these.
