Starting with the Galaxy A52, there are two models: the standard A52 and a 5G variant. Both phones share the same hardware on the inside, with the refresh rate and 5G support being the only real differences. On the Galaxy A52, you get a 6.5-inch Super AMOLED display with a 90Hz screen refresh rate and 800nits peak brightness. The Galaxy A52 5G has the same 6.5-inch panel but pairs it with a 120Hz refresh rate.

On the back, we have four cameras arranged in a minimal camera housing. The primary shooter has been upgraded from 48MP to 64MP with OIS. However, the 12MP ultra-wide, 5MP depth, and macro lenses and the 32MP front are unchanged from the last model.

The Galaxy A52 is powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon 720G processor featuring 2x cores running at 2.3GHz frequency and 6x cores clocked at 1.8GHz clock-speed, coupled with 4GB/6GB/8GB RAM and 128GB/256GB storage. The processor on the Galaxy A52 5G is not yet known.
