Samsung announces Galaxy A52, Galaxy A52 5G and Galaxy A72
The new Galaxy A series started off with the entry level – the likes of the A32 and even A02 are already official, now it’s time to move up to the mid-range. Samsung unveiled the Galaxy A52 and A72 today, both focusing on fun but are also capable all-rounders.
The A52 comes in two flavors – 4G and 5G – while the A72 arrived only as a 4G phone. Let’s have a closer look at the new models.
Samsung Galaxy A72
The Samsung Galaxy A72 is a tad larger with a 6.7” display and a 5,000mAh battery. However, the extra size doesn’t add much weight – the phone weighs 203g.
There’s no 5G version of the A72, at least not yet. This means you get hardware similar to the 4G version of the A52, including the Snapdragon 720G chipset.
Samsung Galaxy A72
The Super AMOLED display has a 1080p+ resolution and a 90Hz refresh rate. High Brightness Mode is available here too, for those situations that need 800 nits of brightness. There’s an in-display fingerprint reader as well as a 2MP front-facing camera.
The A72 gets an upgraded camera with a 3x telephoto lens. It has an 8 MP sensor, f/2.4 aperture and OIS. The remaining cameras are the same – 64MP main, 12MP ultrawide and 5MP macro (the depth sensor is gone, but we doubt many will miss its presence).
The phone has an IP67 rating, just like its smaller sibling. Both phones have advanced Bluetooth that allows you to connect two wireless headsets simultaneously, if you’re listening solo you can plug in headphones into the 3.5 mm jack. And don’t forget the Dolby Atmos-enabled stereo speakers.
The extra battery capacity on the A72 helps offset the extra power draw of the larger display. You’re still looking at 2-day battery life and 25W fast charging support.
The A52 and A72 are launching with One UI 3.1 and as with other Samsung phones they will receive security updates for 4 years and three major OS updates.
The Samsung Galaxy A72 is available in Awesome Blue, Black, Violet and White
The Samsung Galaxy A72 will be available soon, starting at €450/£420. This is for the 6/128GB model, you can also go for the an 8/256GB option (as a reminder, there’s a microSD slot available). Check it out on Samsung.com.

Samsung Galaxy A72 5G stars in shiny leaked renders
Last week we saw the upcoming Samsung Galaxy A52 5G in a comprehensive set of official-looking leaked renders, and today it's time for the same treatment to be afforded to the Galaxy A72 5G.
Like the name implies, this is destined to be the successor to the Galaxy A71 5G, and its design language is unsurprisingly incredibly similar to that of the Galaxy A52 5G. Think of the A72 as basically the A52's slightly larger brother.
The Galaxy A72 5G is apparently going to become official in early 2021, as per the usually reliable source of these leaks. The phone's back will be plastic while the frame is said to be aluminum. The A72 5G sports a 6.7" flat touchscreen with a single centered punch-hole selfie camera.
There are four snappers on the back, and unfortunately the details on them are still unclear, but it would surprise no one if the main unit would be 64 MP.
The Galaxy A72 5G measures 165 x 77.4 x 8.1 mm (9.9 mm with the camera bump). It has a 3.5mm headphone jack and an in-display fingerprint sensor. The expected price point, in unlocked form, in the US, is $599.
