Anonymous, 06 May 2024Yup, thanks. Any piece of information helps. Plenty of time... moreYour welcome.
I will be using the A52s in the next week or so. Feel free to message me again to remind me and I will be more than happy to feedback to you especially the battery life and performance.
Once i sold my S23 FE 5G i'm planning on selling the A52s if I'm not happy with it. But, if i can't find any small, compact phones that is within my wallet's reach then I may (just maybe ) keep my S23 FE and trading it in with an S23 or S24 FE as long it has a Snapdragon chipset.

I'm not defending missing SD card. Current development on this matter may be mostly business decesion. Either way, I just accept reality and personally can live without it. I still can connect USB stick and run 2 sims so don't like to put them in/out thru hybrid slot anyway. I generally don't trust clouds much but may try them more, too (secondary option tho). My question was genuine. I assume if you own more cards, you'll rather keep an old phone than lose this capability, then.

But what i can say is this:
It is just smudge heavier than the A52s due to its design - but the difference is almost not noticeable
Side by side it is slightly shorter than the A52s and wider which i do not like
The battery drain seem to be at par with the A52s tho i need to test it everyday to find out more - but being a more efficient fab the Exynos 2200 may be slightly better than the SD778G 5G chip.
My "benchmark" on how good the chipset is by slapping on a third-party launcher like the Microsoft launcher. And based on that the S23 FE is again almost at par with the A52s in terms of the gestures, opening & closing of apps, etc.
Camera wise i did some personal tests the other day during the day, indoors thru the windows on a bright sunny day and indoors with only the TV on and no other artificial light. I found the S23 FE to be better with colour rendering, white balance, contrast and dynamic range by at least 20%-30% more than the A52s.
I'm trying to sell my S23 FE but if I can't find a seller in three months then i will just have to keep it and trade it in for something later this year.
Did that helped at all?

Could you leave few words on S23 FE here, please? How much it drains over night and some overall impressions, if it's worth in owner's eyes. (no rush, when you feel like)

For me 128GB is more than enough as I save most of my files (photos, videos, documents, etc.) thru the cloud and cloud-based services such as Google Photos, Microsoft 365, One Drive, apps, etc.

The A52s is almost an ideal size, weight & dimensions
The S23 FE would have been a lot better if it was less wide
The Pixel 6a & 7A are almost perfect sizes for me but if it had slightly bigger screen (6.2") would be much better
The base Galaxy S23/S4 are way too small for me but it's kinder to my hands. The Plus versions is a bit big for me.

To all :
Sad thing is that the Samsung S20 FE 5G might not support jio operator's (India) VoNR facility.

I've stated my thoughts on the first three phones in the past few responses. And at this stage i have decided to get the Galaxy A52s 5G as used device for under £400.

GPU wise 1480 uses the AMD Radeon derived Xclipse GPU and it is considerably faster than Mali GPU in the 1380. ISP is also stronger with more capabilities. 1480 is built on 4nm process node compared to 5nm in the 1380. Overall 1480 is a decent upgrade over 1380. I would say only now Exynos able to beat 2021 SD 778 decisively lol
