Hemedans, 30 Sep 2021This bias Again? Difference between A52s and MI 11 lite ... moreDon't forget guaranteed three major OS updates and four years of security patches. I'm yet to see Xiaomi do such a thing on their phones, even for the flagships.

    Anonymous, 30 Sep 2021Just about the only thing missing from this phone is Samsun... moreTrue, Only LG and Sony per my understanding offer usb 3 to midrange.

    This phone lack dex to be perfect midrange.

      Difference between A52s and MI 11 lite 5G is within $100, almost all region.

      And A52s is all around better, with Ip rating for water resistant, better camera, better software support, 3.5mm jack, better base storage, better display etc. For me A52s offer more value compare to MI 11 lite 5G.

        350 euros for A52s 5G in Macedonia. Mi 11 lite 5g is I think at 400 Euros here.

          I would like to know about the temperature of the phone when it runs on full throttle! I have a S21 with me but it is not easily to get overheat when it runs in 100% CPU! I would like to have a phone with better battery life and cooler all the time for my secondary phone!

            A52S IS VERY GOOD DEVICE

            But it i will wait for the A72s aka A73

            I like the (A7x) series more like these series samsung try make it great and high with just like 100 dollars on the price tag (but it's okay if i will get a mote premium mid range phone

            And i like the new telephoto lens on A72 so upgrade the cpu and 5g connection and it will be great device

              Just about the only thing missing from this phone is Samsung DeX. If LG can give Screen+ Desktop Mode to the Velvet 5G, then Samsung should have no problem giving DeX to this particular model. I wouldn't care if this phone doesn't have a flagship-grade camera performance, that's not really my top priority.

                  The lack of FM radio is kinda disappointing, considering both A52 and A52 5G had it...

                    Hemedans, 30 Sep 2021Where in the world Mi 11 lite 5G is half price of A52s? ... morei saw it on the news in this website for about $600, and mi 11 lite 5g only $300.

                        This would have been Okayish if they at least used UFS 3.1 instead of the old 2.1. All its competitors even on the lower price range are using UFS 3.1 already. Nonethless I think it would would be just fine if 2.1 but would have added advantage if 3.1 to be more latest.

                              It comes with a (25W) Fast Charger, here in my country. So maybe it's a demographic thing? Samsung has done this before, like certain places got different headsets, or dongles, etc etc... so if you're right, then I suspect that is the case.

                              But at least you get Something in the box, and you don't get ripped off paying a high-price for a charger like in the Apple Store.

                                Anonymous, 30 Sep 2021sure the CPU side of things might be on par and it certainl... moreNo mate, you're wrong.
                                I was VERY surprised when I saw the benchmarks for the GPU. It is slower than the QSD 865 but slightly faster than the QSD 860, 855+, 855. This is not a "7-series" chipset like the others, it is actually a Flagship Chipset.

                                On top of this, it is a Snapdragon. So there is more optimisations on the driver side. So not only are the radios usually more accurate, but the graphics are great. For instance, try running a demanding emulator, like the PS2, Wii, or Switch, and it runs noticeably better compared to competing chipsets such as Exynos, Kirin, MediaTek, and others. You can see videos of this on YouTube if you don't take my word for it.

                                  And I saw lot of YouTube videos sd 778G even in stress test can sustain more than 90% of its perfomance while sd 860 can lose more than 30%. Of its power.

                                  And amazing thing sd 778 achieve these score with low frequency, in cpu it peak at just 2.4ghz and gpu just 490mhz,

                                  So In Real life I will take sd 778G over sd 855/860 any day. This Soc is perfect for long session Gaming.
