By a glance, animations have changed (they're smoother/slower) plus there are several more or less useful changes (new charging settings are useful). Otherwise seems OK (similar battery, bug fee) though it's too early to confirm on the first day.

I have been using the phone for about 2 and a half year. Here are some of my thoughts
The bad things
Vibration Motor is so bad, I always have to keep my mi band around for notifications.
Build Quality, The backside of it starts peeling and i need to buy a new back cover from AliExpress with new adhesive
God Awful ram management, once u exit any game even the low level rhythm game to answer a call , it restart the app even helio g99 tablet has better background app management
The Good things
its been 2 years and battery is still perfect, it still lasts the whole day everyday and I don't have to worry about anything
778g can still run any games even demanding games on low to medium setting without any issue
The screen is perfect once u put on a screen protector( default has a lot of fingerprint smudges ) , i seen some burn in on notification shades but nothing much.
The phone works. Its still working i got android 14 about last month by the look of it might last another 1 to 2 years with security patches going until the end of 2025

This model be my last Samsung only to say. First I wan t to by S21FE but for Europe are Exynos chip, after I buy Samsung A52s with Snapdragon in phone be Android 12, i am be happy, one day. Tomorrow go to Android 13, i go to service man told me that can be on first or stay on 13, but have orange triangle, but that must stay. I give up phone go to Android 14 but UI 6.0, and all model have update ( all Asia A52 not s, M53). It seems that Europe are not third World but forth World for Samsung, phone is good, but company politic is bad, no UI 6.1 for Europe thank you Samsung.

Anonymous, 24 May 2024Sadly after 2 yrs my A52s 5g started showing amoled burns. ... moreScreen burn depends on usage type and pattern. Mine after 2 years still going as good as new. The only bad thing about the phone is its plastic back panel and mine got scratched up all over the place despite used back cover all these period. None of my smartphones back panel that I used in the last 12 years ever got scratched like A52s. My 2016 ZenFone 3 back panel which is made of Gorilla glass is still with me with spotless like finish!

Sadly after 2 yrs my A52s 5g started showing amoled burns. The performance is superb but the screen suffers amoled burns.

On the the other hand, I may as well ask what will you do if you lose phone or it's stolen which may happen as well. For me, regular backups are good enough solution.

Anonymous, 06 May 2024Sounds strange. They say S25 series will bring more changes... moreThat may also happen. Samsung has removed the dedicated memory card slot (2 SIM + 1 memory card slot) after its A70 model. Now it has removed the 3.5 mm audio jack (A52s 5G is the last A series mid range phone with SD chip to have 3.5 mm jack.
Only A25 with exynos 1280 has it.

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.

Inagine you do not have any destination or any way to backup your phone (without memory card slot) and you have to format your phone immediately. What will you do?.

Anonymous, 06 May 2024You'd like the A52s without a case. Great size to hold... moreI've been using the S23 FE on & off so i'm afraid I could not form a "definitive" opinion.
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?
