Samsung Galaxy M52 5G

The Samsung Galaxy M52 5G is a rather odd phone in the M series. After all, the series isn't known for its powerful and advanced phones but this M52 5G seems to be the exception. It is a lightning-fast phone with a justifiable price tag. You can read exactly what we mean by that here.

Fast internet, fast screen, fast performance

The M52 is fast. That's even evident from its name which is in full; M52 5G. It is a 5G phone that can handle extra fast internet on the go. Even if you don't use it now, it's handy to have. For when you do want to do that, at least it's on there. The screen is also fast thanks to a 120Hz refresh rate. By refreshing images 120 times per second, animations look much smoother than with the usual 60Hz. An additional benefit; it makes your phone feel faster. Inside, the M52 is also fast thanks to a powerful processor that comes from Qualcomm. The Snapdragon 778G with eight cores is even powerful enough for trouble-free gaming.

RAM Plus: virtual RAM memory

Smart about the Galaxy M52 5G is the RAM Plus feature. Instead of a fixed amount of RAM memory, the M52 can virtually add up to 4GB of additional memory. Simply by tapping into the storage memory. Now that's slower than RAM so it's a stopgap measure but you do ensure that your apps don't just close unexpectedly or stop working. Although we do not expect you to need it soon because with 6GB of RAM memory, the M52 has plenty of RAM memory. In terms of storage memory, 128GB is available. If that is still not enough, you can add up to 1TB of memory by purchasing a memory card.

Triple camera system

Samsung has equipped the M52 5G with a trio of cameras on the back; a 64MP main camera with f/1.8 wide-angle lens, a 12MP camera with f/2.2 ultra-wide angle and a 5MP macro camera for extreme close-ups with great detail. With the 123° wide angle you can fit extra much into 1 image, much more than 81° angle of view of the main camera. You can shoot video in up to 4K and the front selfie camera is nice and sharp thanks to the 32MP sensor. What's nice about this is that it even has a portrait mode that allows you to blur the background. This bokeh effect makes your selfies stand out a bit more. Finally, the M52 5G is equipped with a solid 5000 mAh battery that you can quickly recharge with 25W. What is missing is a regular headphone port, you will have to use an adapter that you plug into the USB port if you want to listen wired. On the other hand, wirelessly it does support the spatial Dolby Atmos.
