According to our mobile phone expert
The Samsung Galaxy A72 128GB Purple is a relatively powerful smartphone which is positioned between Samsung's mid-range smartphones and the high-end devices. With the powerful processor and 6GB RAM, you can switch smoothly between moderately demanding apps such as YouTube, Spotify, and Netflix. The device might struggle with demanding apps such as Photoshop or 3D games. On the large 6.7-inch Full HD screen, you see a lot of detail in your series. Keep in mind that the A72 is hard to operate with one hand due to its size. You can take beautiful photos with the 4 rear cameras of the smartphone. What's striking for a device in this price range is the telephoto lens with 3x optical zoom. With this, you can zoom in up to 3 times without loss of quality. The 5000mAh battery lasts the whole day with average use. Is your battery empty? You can charge it very fast with the included charger. The 128GB storage is expandable with a memory card of up to 1TB.

Nice phone with a strong battery. I come from the a5 2016 and after 5 years I was ready for a new one. What a relief. Responds quickly, nice clear screen and the battery lasts 2 days with intensive use. He also takes very nice pictures. The screen is a lot bigger than my previous device, but you get used to it quickly. Unlike the expensive phones, this device still comes with a charger. Previous device had a USB charger and micro USB input. It comes with USB-C on both sides. Saves buying a new charger. Top quality for a mid-range price. I say buy.
