Samsung Galaxy A52s 5G (Black, 8GB RAM, 128GB Storage) with No Cost EMI/Additional Exchange Offers + Rs 6000 Off on ICICI Credit Cards

Received the phone two hours ago. Here are my first impressions:Most of the reviews here are made by just looking at price point and the specs sheet. I am giving a genuine first impression.Pros:1)Amazon's delivery: It just two days delivery and packing was good. No problem here2) Display: Samsung being Samsung here. Display is top class. Buttery smooth with 120 Hz refresh rate. One of the best displays you will find in any phone at this price point3) Cameras: I do not have much knowledge of cameras and I don't click much photos. But still they are descent enough. OIS is also present which is cool. Will update more on camera performance when I click few more pictures. Front camera is good as well.4) Performance: Well just two hours of usage so cannot really comment on it. But whatever I have used till now, I didn't face any issues. 778G happens to be a good processor so it won't cause any problems in future as well.5) Connectivity: Tried on both WiFi and 4G. Connectivity is very good. WiFi worked full speed even when I was 10 metres away from router6) Software: One UI is very good to have on any phone. Will definitely get two major android updates so it will not make phone to feel outdated after two years unlike most Chinese phones out there. No problems on software front.Cons:1) Look is not at all premium. It does not feel like you are holding a 37k phone in your hand. They have tried to make it look like a plastic body version of S21 series but still it does not feel premium when you hold in your hand. There are bezels on display as well which feel annoying. Only pro here is that the camera setup looks very good from back.2) Back side of phone is fingerprint magnet. You got to use a case, which unfortunately is not present in the box.3) They have provided only 15W charger though it supports up-to 25W charging.4) Storage option is 8+128 which is disappointing. It should have been 8+256. Also they didn't mention if it is ufs 3.1 or not anywhere.4) Off course the price of phone. It should have been few thousands less.So why did I bought this phone?I truly give more importance to software rather than hardware. I am not a heavy user, I play games very rarely. I wanted a phone with descent enough hardware but with great battery and more importantly OS upgrades. I was actually waiting for Pixel 5a to be launched in India but there are no signs of it so I went ahead with this one. I feel that Samsung will not disappoint me on software front. I will be able make full use of hardware provided with this phone.I you do not want to buy a Chinese phone and if you really care about phone's software, you should go ahead with this one. Trust me any normal user like me does not need sd870 or 888 for their daily work. What they need is great battery life phone with some pleasant UI. If you fall in this category , just go with it. Otherwise there are many other options available as well which give you better processor at this point.I will give more updates after one month of usage.. Thanks for scrolling this far and bearing with me.

It's a good phone but coming from an older lg flagship, I just felt the experience quite lacking.What I liked -Great battery life.Great software, both performance and feature wise as well as in terms of update - this midranger was getting android 12 at Feb 2022 when even some phones launching at the time were not coming with it.Good displayStereo speakersWhat I felt was not good enough -Haptics are mediocre.Camera - It is pretty good. But no stabilization at 4k, no raw support, overall bad pics in challenging situations.. these were a deal breaker for me. My older lg v30 was doing better in many situations.Phone is really bulky especially with a case.Build quality is meh..And this is after buying the phone with a heavy discount at around 25k. At full price I won't even bother.But still, I finally sold it and got s20 fe which I think is a better deal even though it's a bit old. Better go for previous flagships then newer midrangers. Just my take :)

Pros:1. Stereo Speakers2. Good Camera (FHD @ 60 FPS Support)3. Good OIS4. Dual Sim and Very wide 5G Band5. Waterproof IP67Not Good - Not Bad:1. Battery2. Camera QualityCons:2. Build QualityDetailed Review:1) Sound QualityI purchased this phone just based on sound quality and I should say I am 100% Satisfied. This is stereo speaker enabled Handset and this is one of the very few handsets with stereo speakers. Speaker didn't get damaged and I should say they are pretty good, clear. Sometimes, I could feel the bass of the song. Literally an awesome phone, if you are sound-loving person.2) Camera QualityGood when compared with Chinese phone makers. Pretty decent, I would say. Night mode is good. I am not a pro photographer, but I do take photos once in a while. Selfie camera is good. I would say S20FE is just 4000 Rs+ to this and that is far superior on this.3) Build QualityGood Thing : Very elegant design. Not like a fancy design, it is. Very professional and very clean design.Not Good Thing: It is plastic case. It don't break - that's good. But, gets scratched much faster - that's bad.Good: It has metal Frame.ADVICE: Get a very good cover which is tight. Clean your phone and case once in 2 weeks and keep on doing it. Or else, you will start seeing ugly spots.4) DisplayWHOAH. No words and it is beautiful.Ultimate Display with Stereo speakers, this is for you Series Freaks!5) BatteryYeah. That's something we have to talk about. 4500 mAH. Stands easily for a day with normal usage (I see YouTube videos, Netflix series, listen to songs, use with Bluetooth speakers). Charging speed is awesome - Pretty decent. I use 15W box-provided charger. Get 25W, if you want to boost the speed.6) Headphone Jacks : It is there, dude.7) Waterproof:They say IP67. This phone, almost 4-5 times fell in water (bucket) and withstood. No problem. Almost drained in rain for sometime and worked - no issues. So, good. Btw, Physical damages doesn't get covered under warranty - that's a bummer. For more info : https://www.samsung.com/us/support/troubleshooting/TSG01001077/8) PerformanceThat's simply superb. Awesome Processor - Awesome Chipset - Awesome Performance. Capable of running PUBG with High graphics without battery drain and without heating issue.NO HEATING ISSUE!!!!! Even in any condition.9) Samsung Pay - NFCYou can save your cards (which has Tap and Pay feature enabled) and pay using your phone like you pay using your card. This is because of NFC. Only Samsung can do this and that is supported by multiple banks. Single App, which can enable you to pay via UPI / Debit Card / Credit Card.So, guys, check out S20FE.That is just Rs. 4,000/- higher than this. But, it does provide good competition. It has Dex enabled and Good camera. But, do compare.
