Samsung Galaxy A52 all carriers 128 GB 5G Smartphone Dual SIM Android Mobile Phone Awesome Black (UK Version)

I've had the phone for a day now. My first one in black was stolen out the box! Black was then unavailable so I got the white one. Backtrack.... Amazon refunded me for the missing phone from the box! Very impressive customer service!!I bought this phone to bump up my camera options. My xiaomi redmi note 9S does a fine job on the whole, including video, and many other things but I needed a higher quality of video camera.I film tai chi routines and some of the routines are quite expandy. This is where a wide angle, uhd 4K option is so handy. I can then crop the video after shooting for an impressive end video that I played around, uninhibited, with zooming in an out with a pc video editor.This has dual speakers. You'll go on YouTube and listen to reviewers say its OK. But they are so spoilt I'm finding them out of touch these days with where the majority of us are buying from (mid range). The sound is the best I've ever had on a smart phone by a long shot. The last two years I had an Sony Xperia 1(flag ship). Video filming for my purposes was very disappointing. Battery life poor. Sound poor. So I spent the whole of last year with my xiaomi redme note 9s(£209). Producing better quality video than the Sony and sound.So far after a day of testing yesterday(an 90mins after sunset, clear video with a bit of grass shimmering) and today in bright light the video is looking very good so far(very clear in every point).My final test is a particular shirt I wear when doing the professional shoot of my Tai Chi routines for online video.I've now switched my sim into this phone, tonight.I'm looking forward to testing out calls.The screen is lovely. I'm very happy with it. A big jump from the xiaomi. The Sony screen is probably its best feature. But the phone is too skinny. I found texting very annoying and difficult. This Samsung has a broader footprint. So I'm finding texting, using a compatible stylus (not the Samsung one) and swift key keyboard working very effectively.It has an under screen fingerprint scanner. The phone screen from off will activate with a double tap on screen. Place your scanned finger over the fingerprint image until the phone unlocks. It works very well.Finally, I really love the look of the phone. I like the matt finish very much. The white looks great. Some people like these skinny bezels but I find with a cover on those it's difficult to switch sideways to another screen. So I like a bit of bezel on a phone. I didn't like the curved screen thing. It offers poor protection even with a screen protector.Order this before the Samsung ear buds special offer ends on the 27th april. They are worth £100!4th December updateI'm still loving this phone. Great battery life. Some days when I don't use it much its got 73% left.I've used it to film myself doing tai chi for teaching purposes. The wide angle has been most useful which I then crop on the computer afterwards.It's so reliable too. Also I never feel its time to get another phone as I'm bored with it or I feel there's something better out there.I feel mid-range now is where the market is and the camera options will get better and better as time moves on.February 2nd 2022Thus phone is so good! It feel so natural to me and it's not feeling dated at all. The earbuds work really well with it. I've had all updates for it.This phone will easily be acceptable for over 2 years of a standard contract.

Good value, happy with it. Recommend an SD card and protective case, available separately on Amazon at reasonable prices.

Great all rounder. Good reception.

Making this review 5 years later on this phone. Safe to say its good

I love it just wished there where more instructions on set up size amazing lightweight good size overall very happy

Very disappointed 😞 NO SIM TRAY what use is a phone with no sim tray.I've had to purchase a spare on line fingers crossed it'll work if not I am sending the lot back for a full refund

I just want a reliable phone, and so far I'm happy.Good sound quality for both me and the recipient.Tiny gripe. My last Samsung phone had the print ID on the power button which meant I could switch it on and open it at the same time. This one is a screen fingerprint which is good but slower to use.

If you don't want a top of the range phone/ you are ok with something a bit older but broadly functional, it's ok.It also looks cute - very light and slim, nice colour etc.It is a bit of a rubbish phone overall though - here are some reasons:- Memory has been passable for me - however after 3 years of use, I am being forced to delete apps and files and I wouldnt say I take loads of pics. I think others would struggle.- Relatively easy to use, but glitchy in more ways than one. The phone doesn't seem capable of picking up decent quality 4/5G, regardless of provider and can make life stressful e.g. trying to end your ride on an e-bike and all of a sudden it can't find signal.- camera quality is quite appalling, given it's not that old a phone. Either that, or it isn't easy enough to use.
