I think part of the premium you are paying for this mid-range device is the 3 year guarantee of OS/ software updates and 4 year guarantee of security updates. That is why i think this is more expensive than other mid rangers aside from other features such as the IP rating and 120hz refresh rate. No other mid ranger can guarantee such updates.

Not entirely correct - xiaomi also promised the same 3 year OS and 4 year security updates to 11T and 11T pro, and 11T is much cheaper than A52S. And the previous version A52 which i bought for 320 USD also has the same 3+4 years upgrade, compared to this 455 USD A52s.

Got an A52 5G before this phone was released, and the phone's really doing well. I think the reason this phone is priced that way is because of the software support you're getting. I've never owned a Xiaomi phone which I kept on stock MIUI. I always had my Xiaomis running on Pixel Experience because of how crappy the stock UI is. Yes, this might be more expensive compared to the competition, but you're getting software support from a company that has a good track record. There is some Samsung bloat, but you can uninstall most of them. Other than the bloatware, the experience is one of the best. As for gaming, I play Mobile Legends as well. For the first few months, my phone didn't have the Ultra settings, but now, it's available on my settings. Might be bacause the game hasn't been optimized for the newer processor? Also, the long time it takes to charge doesn't really bother me since my phone never gets below 40% throughout the day. I only charge my phone during bedtime, and I don't mind leaving it plugged in. Battery life is amazing on this device, and that's me using it at work to play games, make calls, emails, watch videos online, etc. It's the perfect phone for someone who doesn't wanna bother with installing a custom ROM to have a better UI on Xiaomis. SD card slot, water resistance, 3 years OS updates, 4 years security, 120hz refresh rate, above average camera, headphone jack, long battery life. For me, the price is justified.

The slower the charge the longer the lifetime the battery will have. Opening up an IP67 device to change the battery right after the guarantee expires because of battery degradation is a great way to lose that water protection. 100min is slow? charge it at night, runing out of battery in the middle of the day? charge it while not in use. Doesn't really seem an actual problem to me.

What makes Samsung Galaxy A52S 5G more expensive if compared to competitors is because of the IP67 Water and Dust Proof that you didn't even mentioned in this video, all of the competitors you mentioned doesn't have the IP67 rating, So far IP67 ratings are only found on the flagship phones. This phone can take photos and video underwater which you didn't try despite of it's waterproof capabilities which is the competitor don't have I know there's a bunch of more affordable 5G phones nowadays, but the A52S is segmented for certain people who needs simplicity like big brand name, easy to find service centre, One UI experience, waterproof and dustproof and a decent camera So in the end back to what you need and usually do with your phones in daily life

Long-time experience counts. Most - if not all - reviews are limited to one day, maybe one week testing, or even to comparing the technical specifications. For me, the capacity of a device to deliver consistent experience over years of use does counts even more than performance. Therefore, for me a solid Snapdragon values more than a cutting edge Exynos, which is new- hence not tested in real life. Long battery life is also a major point I look to. No matter how good a device is, it turns into a brick when the battery can not be replaced. Connections are also important - so the 3.5 jack is a big plus - I can plug in extra speakers.

Updates = much reliable than any other competitors. Bloatware / Ads = almost 0.

As someone who's considering the A52s as an upgrade from my A70: I'm aware I'm getting a worse SoC for the money than I would from, say, a Realme. But I know I'm getting multiple years of support and won't be threatened by the American government yeeting Chinese phones for geopolitical reasons - or indeed my British one, who would totally do such a thing. I picked an A70 in 2019 for that reason, having previously picked Honor and OnePlus for bang-for-buck, and I'm sticking with Samsung again. It's this or the S20 FE 5G, and I might be leaning to this because I can pass it on to my husband after a two-year carrier deal and still know it has multiple years of support left.

It's the guaranteed 3yr support for android os and 4yrs on security support that's y it's a bit pricy, but it is definitely worth if you are planning to keep it in that time period plus those cheaper phones have a hardware that deteriorate so fast they may lose their perf in just a year

I had bad experience on Xiaomi device especially in MiUI and other security problem, so moving into SS then got an A52s today with a flash sale off deal as cheap as 11T/11T pro

"I don't want to sound like a hater." oh the irony. silky smooth screen, good battery, solid camera, headphone jack, IP rating, Knox security, OS and security updates. All at a budget price. need I say more? If people don't want to, or can't break the bank for a new device. they don't need to with this device.

Thanks. I feel that you give a very objective criticism of the phone. However, some of us are looking for a solid long term item and I don't think you covered the quality of the build and I think this is very important for the person who is sensitive to cost. These are the people who will be purchasing the mid range phones

I would choose One UI anyday over MIUI or any other android skin. The reason why the A52s is that expensive is because of the clean UI, software updates, customer support which gives 3 years of software updates and 4 years of security patches.

Yes I’ve been interested in the a52 even with the sd750, I can forgive it is more expensive, if samsung can deliver on their updates and security. Also considering, 11 5g ne, don’t like nord 2 photos.

Sure there are better value for money phones. No discussion. But what Samsung offers here is a very nice allround package. In my country it sells like crazy. I believe you didn't talk about the 4 years of updates which will be a major selling point for a lot of people.

It's definitely part of the equation for me, especially as I can pass my phone on to my husband when I replace it knowing it will still have security updates for some time and won't be affected if the US or any other government picks on Chinese phones again like they did with Huawei already. Can you get more for less with a Realme? Absolutely, at least in terms of SoC power. But if you want that reassurance on multiple years of support, it's Samsung or Apple - and the price competitor from Apple is already 18 months old (so it's already burned some of that update support) and has a far worse screen.

Agreed. Hardware is only as good as its software. I would get the Poco F3 for gaming/emulation purposes only personally. But for all-rounder, it's going to be A52s 5G.

There is a new category slowly inching its way with SoC's becoming more flexible - the "mid-high" range category. With IP67 and 3 years OS support which other budget brands skimp on, of course you get cheaper prices. When picking devices, it's not just ALL about specs. You should also consider long-term support.

I'm really leaning to buying Mi 11 lite 5G ne. But I have issues with previous Xiaomi flagship like the Mi5s after almost 2 years using it. On the other hand, we have a mid range Xiaomi from 2017 thats still running fine. So, I'm not sure if Xiaomi's quality has gotten better on the newer models.

Just took out my new 24 month EE contract and chose one of these. The only reason I chose it is because I have about 10 sets of plug in earphones and a similar amount of USB type C chargers lying around the house already so it saves buying additional products. I didn't want to use Bluetooth earbuds because earphones always fall out of my ears and then I have to pick them up whereas wired earbuds are always attached so you don't have to keep bending over to pick them up again. Plus this things reasonably waterproof and I'm a fisherman. My old phone is a galaxy a70 and it's great. I dont play games, I just watch KZread, use Google, phone and text people, use various apps for banking and shopping etc. and occasionally take a photograph. I have no idea what any of the tech jargon means nor do I care. I dropped and cracked the screen on my old A70 phone the first week I had it and it still works fine. In fact I'm still using it instead of my new A52s 5g which remains in its box set up with all my apps etc until the A70 eventually dies. Then I'll have a brand new phone all set up and ready to go the moment I put my sim card in it. I have no idea why people get so caught up with tech and throw so much money at it. Seriously....how good can a phone get? How good does a picture need to be? It's all just nonsense that we're fed by the tech companies to keep us engaged. I remember the days when the first blackberry came out and it was all over the news. I remember tech companies telling us phones with a bevelled edge were better than flat screens.

Good quick review but I have to differ. I think this is a better buy than GT Master or even the Mi 11 lite 5g NE. It is a solid experience and many average consumers don't care about haptics or glass back. It has a solid camera front and back. Storage is big and ram is more than enough. We always compare to Chinese phones. Yes. Because China phone have one thing in mind. To put others out of business that's why they can lower their costs via government subsidies etc. Anyway, in the end the choice is yours. Good video. I personally think screen refresh is trash. I don't use it. IMHO.

I need an upgrade as my S7 now has problems. My provider is offering this phone for $15/mth special offer except with 128g. My priority is the camera and the cheapest price so despite all the negatives you've presented, my two needs are met. Seems like a good option for me.

I had my s21 stolen and I decided to get this device and honestly don't really know why I went expensive with my s21, this runs my emulators dependable great screen good cameras and a headphone jack all good don't really miss my s21, another thing in favor for this device over those others which I did think about us the water resistance and update promises from a company I feel I can trust more, all in all good phone overall can't really fault it.

I have found all the settings that shows ads but for some reason, they still exist. I've been feel like my privacy is compromised so i hope getting another phone from samsung is the answer i needed. I installed VLC replacing the default video player, but the video playback seems un-optimized. I installed AIMP but the audio effect isn't working. I ibstalled other launcher to get better UI setup, it seems slower than i expected. Trying to get out from their sneaky ads but i got what i deserved instead.

Very honest review and right now, I feel it surely does suit my taste, of course not 100%; I dislike hepatic feedback when typing, or doing anything else for that matter so 👍 Prefer charging overnight so the 15W is just fine. Great actually for battery longevity I don't know why you didn't mention the IP67 rating... it's splendid! Of course, I'll taste it myself 😬 The processor and 120Hz are what I really need, forget the shell. looks can be deceiving As for price... I know for sure time will prove it's worth Dislikes: I prefer the Motorola stock android feel. Cleaner and less garbage to uninstall or disable. Unfortunately, that's the trade-off. Been using the 'more affordable' competition for long now. Time has always proved them cheap. For me, it's high time I went mainstream. Still getting the a52s 5G, it's not so far out of my reach. Certainly worth the stretch

Charging over night is never good for battery longevity. This phone will be fully charged in 1.5 hours. So, if you sleep 6 hours, you will be over-charging the battery for 4.5 hours every night. At this rate, phone will need battery replacement after 1 year.

The A52s g5 is a great ph. Why would you worry about the back cover. Most put a cover on it anyway..I'd drop the pH continuously with out one. I'd recommend this pH to everyone.

I am glad with plastic backs, they don't break immediately when falling.😄

it goes in stages.all manufacturers sucked at updates at the start. Chinese phones take care of hardware first then will focus on updates. like how dji drones used to be seen as best hardware with poor customer service. as they progressed service became a strength. can't expect a newcomer to come on the scene and be best at everything. Samsung has been in the space for years and years before xiaomi etc even existed.

I have this phone, and the back cover is flimsy and cheap feeling. Though it doesnt matter too much for me as I always use a case. I chose this because 11T Pro/11 Lite 5G isn’t releasing in my country, plus, Realme GT Master…I don’t believe in their update policy. Hell even Xiaomi’s not that great. A52s is super expensive, but I’ll take it knowing it’ll be updated longer (Planning to not change phone atleast 4 years). The MicroSD slot and earphone 3.5mm jack is a huge bonus too. So I have no regret. (Especially when my Mi Max 2 is almost totally broke after 4 years of service. RIP. I have not much time to choose new phone, so I decided a52s would be the best for now).

I like your videos but you got it wrong here. You seems biased. Why compared Samsung one UI with mi UI or whatever. Remember you also have 4 yrs of security updates

Yeah it’s more expensive than it’s competitors but with the higher price you also get Samsung services like Knox and Samsung Pay etc which alternative is not available on other brands at least here in Malaysia anyways And personally I feel that OneUI is much more polished than MiUI

The camera array is actually pretty impressive for the price. I think most of the value proposition might be in photo/video capture

It keeps getting better and better! Way to go!

I felt ok with all of things you considered downside, because I jumped straight after 7 yrs using Galaxy S5 (with similar pricepoint 7 years ago) with leaked battery that only last 5 hrs in standby mode before automatically turned off.. and l just accept no IR blaster or heart-rate monitor like S5

Same here.

Does the rest of the mid-range phone come with an IP rating? Can l use it peacefully under heavy rain? Did you miss out on the important point?

When you are comparing the build quality of the phone with MI or Realme, you should also see the UI which is very important factor in liking a phone and for overall experience. A snapdragon 870 in a buggy software or cartoonish looking UI will not be good at all.

You forgot to mention this has IP67 dust/water resistant

It depends on which country you're from, Samsung offer a better value proposition than OPPO and Xiaomi because if their phones breaks no one will fix them in South Africa , you won't even find a case or screen protector for them. As for software updates never comes in Africa from those brands thus that make the A52s a king of midrange in my country because it offers all those things

My Xiaomi Note 10 Lite just died on me after just 2 years! the screen suddenly flashed non-stop and I'm not able to turn it off 😢 I'm just going to get a Samsung again...likely the A52 as the price is lower now. Besides, my Xiaomi costs me close to RM 1,400 ...that's not cheap at that time.

The camera is kinda nice, I like how the phone doesn't overheat. Can't wait to see the comparison videos.

Great video. Very informative. I still like the A52s for the cameras, EIS, and reliability. The only phones that I have seen close to it in this price range as far as video and camera are the POCO's F3 and F4. But with those you have to deal with all the MUI bugs and there is the Global Rom Issues.

Bought it last weekend at the mentioned price plus extended warranty. I like it. Bit too expensive i admit but it's a necessary communication device but I wont make it my lifestyle accessory. It does look like a solid phone, specs are great for me and the large screen size is helpful for reading documents and emails on a go too. This purchase mark my return to Android after few years using 2 iPhones concurrently. Honestly, i look forward to own and enslave this device for the next 2-3 years possibly 4 if i adhere to the proper battery conservation and use.

@@karloivanne OIS is very useful, and I hope to see manufacturers implement it, but an IP67 rating isn't that important.

Poor haptic feedback ? I don't care, as I switch it off. Plastic back ? again don't care - if it were glass, you'd run the risk of breaking it if you drop your phone, or attempting to remove it to replace the battery a few years down the track. Another reason I'm keen on this phone is the after market parts available for Samsungs (eg batteries) vs Realme or other cheaper Chinese brands. Plus I know Samsung regularly put out updates for their phones, I don't know how that compares with Realme, Xiaomi or again, other cheap Chinese brands. It is also IP67 rated. Oh, and the A52S is AU$100 cheaper RRP than the A52 5G was.

I have Samsung A50 for two and half years, my thought is to switch to newer phone, so I am considering A52s 5G, that do you think about it?

I love the plastic back, it means it won't shutter when I drop it.. because if it is glass, then glass is glass and glass breaks!

The A52s Vs Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite Lite 11 - Wins off glass back and slight design A52s - Wins off a better refresh rate.. and just better AMOLED panel.. A52s - slightly wins off better PPI A52s - wins off more core - Lite wins off better chip set A52s - wins off slightly better GPU A52s - wins off better camera Lite - wins off better bluetooth A52s - wins off bigger battery Lite - better speaker Lite - wins off value. A52s wins off the more reliable phone.

True !! OneUI makes experience smoother and faster than MIUI

Do you think if the processor was Snapdragon 870, this phone would've been more worth the money? Personally I would prefer the 870 over any midrange processor because the 870 is an ex-flagship processor.

This phone or vívo v23 for rear camera and gaming?

thumbs up for reviewing the haptics!
