The Samsung Galaxy A52s is a mid-range phone that makes compromises in the right areas, but it still faces fierce competition from other brands

The Samsung A52s is the follow-up phone to the mid-range A52, which was released back in spring 2021. Whilst it is nearly identical to its sister handset in its exterior appearance, it has an upgraded chipset which Samsung claims improves the performance and battery life.

Design and build

Design doesn’t match the high standards of rivals
To keep costs down, mid-rangers always have sacrifices when compared to flagship models. For the A52s, this is in the build quality. It is quite bland and feels cheap in your hand, like the standard A52. The bezel around the screen is also quite thick, so it doesn’t feel as slim or sleek as other phones. The upside is that at a weight of 189g, this phone is lightweight and easy to port around.

I tested the black model, but you can also get it in purple, white and mint. The rear s plastic rather than glass and picks up fingerprints quite easily.

Camera
Rear camera is very impressive
Front camera performs best in outdoor daylight
Macro camera is a waste of time
The Samsung Galaxy A52s features a quad-camera set-up, which compromises of a 64Mp main lens, a 12Mp ultrawide lens, a 5Mp macro lens and a 5Mp depth lens. The latter two feel like they’re there just to make up the numbers, though.

The photos taken on the main camera are impressive. Colours are bright and contrasting, but still true to life, unlike some rivals which often overblow shades. The inclusion of OIS (optical image stabilisation) means that photos are less likely to be blurry, especially in dim conditions or at night.
