After many rumors and leaks, the new members of the Samsung mid-range have been officially presented. The Samsung Galaxy A52, Galaxy A52 5G and Galaxy A72 arrive prepared to dangerously approach the high-end in many respects, borrowing technologies that we can see in the Samsung Galaxy S21, although maintaining lower prices.
These new devices come to succeed the mid-range of Samsung that last year already let us see 5G technology with models that have been important, but this year the additions go beyond connectivity. Its design also changes to differentiate itself and not only from the previous models of the rest of the ranges, although keeping its essence very present.
Samsung Galaxy A52, a more than complete mid-range

It has 800 nits of brightness that is combined with a refresh rate of 90 Hz to take advantage of all kinds of needs. From behind the terminal lets us see that new design already mentioned where the camera module is integrated with the rear.
The weight of this model remains very similar to that of the previous generation with 189 grams that make it quite light. The averages that it has are 159.9 x 75.1 x 8.4mm and as you can see in the images, it keeps the hole in the central part of the screen. But its design also keeps a new quality and that is that it integrates IP67 resistance against water and dust , something that reaches this new mid-range.
Level configuration and equipment
The one in charge of moving the system and making us take advantage of the smartphone is the well-known Snapdragon 720G processor , which offers an improved experience even in the most demanding games. It comes with memory options of 6 or 8 GB of RAM along with 128 or 256 of internal memory , which are expandable through a MicroSD of up to 1 TB.

Cameras for everything and OIS stabilizer
Another strong point is in its cameras, where Samsung opts to add an optical image stabilizer (OIS) to the Galaxy A52, which will allow us to record super stabilized videos that will surprise. Its 64 Mpx main lens and ƒ / 1.8 aperture will achieve maximum detail, while it is accompanied by a 12 Mpx ƒ / 2.2 wide angle, also a depth sensor to achieve the lowest possible delay with 5 Mpx ƒ / 2.4 and a macro sensor that closes the back with another 5 Mpx ƒ / 2.4.
Ahead we come across a 32 Mpx selfie camera and ƒ / 2.2 aperture that promises to give the best result in photos and video calls, managing to capture all the details and maximum clarity. For now there is no information on video recording beyond the integration of OIS technology.
