Samsung has launched its latest lineup of budget-friendly smartphones under the Galaxy A Series, namely the Galaxy A52, A52 5G, and A72.

In this piece, the A32 aside, we’ll be breaking down what the others have to offer for those looking for an upgrade paired with more affordable price tags.

The cameras come with a 4K Video Snap which basically lets you capture still 8MP photos from your video’s playback. It’s a useful feature for content creators in the event they forget to take a dedicated thumbnail photo. 

Not only that, but Samsung’s partnership with Snapchat also allows you to play with inbuilt AR filters you’d regularly see on the app. This lets you take high-resolution photos from your phone’s camera without having to use the app to get those dog-eared filters.

Battery

A52 & A52 5G: 4,500mAh, 25W Fast Charging.

A72: 5,000 mAh, 25W Fast Charging.

All the variants boast a 2-day battery life via Adaptive Power Saving, new to the A series. It analyses your usage patterns and automatically enters power-saving mode. Power saving mode essentially optimises CPU by disabling background apps to conserve battery.

It also comes with the new Eye Comfort Shield introduced during the S Series launch earlier this year, which is a filter that adjusts the display’s colour temperature according to your usage patterns.

Storage

The phone’s storage also comes in built-in security by Samsung Knox with data isolation and encryption to safeguard your personal information.

5G will be implemented for the A52 5G, A42 5G, and A32 5G variants for quicker speeds, power, and performance in gaming and sharing content.
