5 reasons why the Samsung Galaxy A52s 5G is a good pick at PHP 22,990 SRP

Top 5 highlights of the Samsung Galaxy A52s 5G

It can even play Genshin Impact!

1. 5G-ready processor with fast performance - The Samsung Galaxy A52s 5G is not all about looks. Inside, it has the 6nm 2.4GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon 778G 5G octa-core processor, Adreno 642L GPU, 8GB RAM, 256GB expandable storage, and a 4,500mAh with 25W fast charging technology. It was able to score 504,429 points in the AnTuTu benchmark which is impressive for the price!

The Snapdragon 778G provides enough for performance for almost every task you wanna run from multitasking to gaming. The 5G capability also future-proofs the device for when 5G networks become more expansive down the line. 5G connection provides a significant speed boost and improvement in stability from 4G LTE.

Flagship aesthetics

2. Flagship-like aesthetics with water resistance - The Samsung Galaxy A52s 5G has a starting price PHP 22,990 SRP. But, it looks and feels more premium than that price tag. It has a design that looks similar to current and past flagship Galaxy devices.

The rectangular camera bump is the same color as the back panel so it is uniform and streamlined. It also has a small punch-hole cutout and slim bezels for an immersive screen experience as well.

It also has IP67 water and dust resistance, a very good addition for a device in this price range. The IP67 water and dust resistance protect the Samsung Galaxy A52s from solid objects like dust and sand. It also allows the device to be submerged underwater for up to 30 minutes up to 1 meter.

This is impressive as IP67 rating is rare at this price point.

To protect the display from unwanted scratches, it also has Corning Gorilla Glass 5 protection. It can also protect the screen from waist-height drops onto hard surfaces. We all do this. We take care of our phone but one day it slips! Gorilla Glass 5 protects it from those kinds of mishaps.

Samsung also made sure that it has attractive colorways in Awesome Mint, Awesome Violet, Awesome White, and Awesome Black. 

Overall, the Samsung Galaxy A52s 5G really just gives a premium, up-to-date look. 

FHD+ 120Hz Super AMOLED screen

3. Crisp AMOLED screen with 120Hz refresh rate - It also features a 6.5-inch 2.5D curved Super AMOLED screen with 2400 x 1080 FHD+ resolution, 120Hz refresh rate, and 405 ppi pixel density. As expected for a Super AMOLED screen, it delivers crisp images, good colors, good brightness, and great contrast. It has slim bezels and a punch-hole cutout which adds to the immersive viewing experience.

The 120Hz refresh rate also adds to the premium feel of the device. The high refresh rate provides a smooth experience for tasks that take advantage of multimedia, gaming, or even just navigation. A smooth refresh rate goes far for that.

64MP OIS quad-cameras

4. Versatile cameras - The Samsung Galaxy A52s 5G has a quad-camera setup with a 64MP f/1.8 sensor with OIS + 12MP f/2.2 ultra-wide-lens sensor + 5MP macro shooter + 5MP telephoto shooter with LED flash. It also has a 32MP f/2.2 selfie camera.

The advantage of having a quad-camera setup is the versatility all the different sensors bring. You can do normal, wide stabilized shots, ultra-wide photos, macro shots, and even a zoomed-in telephoto shot. The 32MP selfie camera is just the cherry on top! This is great for budding mobile content creators or even people who just want to dabble in mobile photography and take good pictures.

5. Attractive price - Samsung was able to pack the Galaxy A52s 5G with several flagship-level experiences with a competitive price tag of PHP 22,990 SRP and PHP 24,990 SRP for the 256GB variant.

For a mid-range device at its price range, you get a beautiful yet durable design and build, versatile cameras, competitive performance, and 5G connectivity.

That is really impressive.
