According to our mobile phone expert
The Samsung Galaxy A52 128GB White 5G is a powerful mid-range smartphone. This device supports 5G, so you'll benefit from the highest internet speeds in the future. With the fast Snapdragon 750G processor and 6GB RAM, you can switch smoothly between different apps such as YouTube, Netflix, and Spotify. On the large 6.5-inch Full HD screen, you see a lot of detail in your favorite movie or series. Due to the large size, this smartphone is hard to operate with one hand. What's striking for a camera in this price range is the optical image stabilization in the 64-megapixel standard rear camera. Thanks to this image stabilization, your photos are less likely to look blurred and they're sharper. With the wide-angle lens, large buildings or sweeping landscapes also fit in your photos and 4K videos in their entirety. You can store all these images together with your apps and other files on the 128GB storage. The 4500mAh battery lasts a day with average use. Charging goes fast with the 25W charger, which is sold separately.

Coming from a Galaxy S8 went looking for a worthy alternative. The specifications of the A52 are so high/good that I didn't necessarily look for the higher segment. I had to give up some features for that. The two most eye-catching are the water resistance and wireless charging. But other than that, it's a great device.
The need for an SD card is not present because sufficient storage space + also an excellent integration with OneDrive (cloud). The large screen is just as sharp and colorful as the S8. I have not seen a single hitch and everything runs smoothly. The fingerprint scanner on the front (under the screen) is really a relief, and nice with that light underneath.
After a few days of playing and configuring various apps, the battery life is especially noticeable. That one is really great!
I sincerely wonder what Samsung wants to achieve with the midrange devices. This one is so good that it may take a considerable market share of the high-end devices. Of course you feel the difference with a high-end device in terms of material use, but the difference in price is so great that you have to think carefully whether it is worth it. I say: Great device that A52

Smooth operation with handy Android 11 functions and a beautiful screen. Making and receiving calls via my WiFi network (and my GSM subscription) was decisive for me because of the poor GSM reception indoors. That's why I didn't have to buy a coverage extender. The Always-on display is a handy plus point and consumes almost no extra battery capacity. Apps run smoothly and the shared screen is useful when making an appointment while communicating via WhatsApp, for example. I stop charging when the battery is 80% full (via an app) and for charging I usually use a slow charger to save the battery.

I've been using the phone for a week now and so far I really like it. He takes beautiful photos, responds quickly and also has a cool color.
The wide-angle lens is a welcome addition. If you want to have a nice view of the photo, that gives just a little extra context.
In addition, it is a nice idea that the phone is dust and waterproof. This way you can scroll on the toilet with peace of mind.
