Samsung has unveiled two new smartphones under its mid-tier A-series in India. The two devices, Galaxy A52 and Galaxy A72, were launched during a virtual event today. These follow the recently launched Galaxy A32 4G and Galaxy A21s in India, further expanding the Galaxy A-series in the country.
Before we get to the price and availability, let us take a look at some of the key specs and features of the two smartphones. Now, it worth mentioning that Samsung also unveiled a €429 Galaxy A52 5G in global markets. However, it will not come to the Indian market. Only the 4G devices make their way to India.
Starting off with the higher-end Galaxy A72, it boasts a 6.7-inch Full-HD+ Super AMOLED display with 2400 x1080-pixel resolution. There is also an in-display fingerprint sensor onboard. The panel supports a 90Hz refresh rate, up to 800 nits of peak brightness, and has an 84.8% screen-to-body ratio. There’s a 32MP punch-hole selfie snapper onboard as well.
Further, the blog post says that the Galaxy A72 is powered by an octa-core chipset with two cores clocked at 2.3GHz and 6 cores clocked at 1.8GHz. Samsung did not name the processor but it seems to be the Qualcomm Snapdragon 720G. You also get 8GB of RAM and up to 256GB of internal storage (expandable up to 1TB through a dedicated microSD card slot).
Now, the Galaxy A52 is pretty similar to its sibling, the Galaxy A72. However, instead of a 6.7-inch display, the device comes with a smaller 6.5-inch Full-HD+ Super AMOLED display with an in-display fingerprint sensor. It has the same resolution and supports a 90Hz refresh rate.
Samsung did not share the Indian prices of the Galaxy A52 and Galaxy A72 during the launch. The company has set up a landing page if you want to register your interest in these smartphones. The Galaxy A52 starts at €349 (~Rs. 30,150) while the Galaxy A72 starts at €449 (~Rs. 38,800) in Europe, confirmed Samsung.
