Reviews SM-A525F

Great affordability!

The Galaxy A52 is an exceptional smartphone that boasts an impressive combination of affordability and quality. As a proud owner of this device, I can attest to its remarkable capabilities. In fact, I use it as a secondary phone to complement my iPhone, as it offers a plethora of features that my primary device simply cannot match. One of the most notable advantages of the Galaxy A52 is its versatility. With its Android operating system, this phone provides access to a vast array of applications that are not available on the iOS App Store. This is particularly beneficial for users who require specialised software for work or personal use. Overall, the Galaxy A52 is an outstanding smartphone that offers an unparalleled combination of affordability, quality, and versatility. Whether you're a casual user or a power user, this device is sure to exceed your expectations.

Great phone

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I brought the phone around a month ago and it was easy to transfer my stuff from one to another and the camera takes great photod

As good as the rest!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Bought this as a first phone for my daughter. Didn't cost the earth. Has all the features needed. Great quality 1st camera. Trusted brand. Could not ask for more!

Great phone

For the price it is good. I bought it for my daughter and she is satisfied.

Top tier performance mind blowing sound

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The screen is top tier but what really creeps up on you is the sound quality. Watching a sports game on this will blow you away with the sound quality. Makes it feel like you are in the stands. Top of the line performance for a standard price. Basically does everything a galaxy s2 can with slightly better performance all around. Compared to the S2 the price is slightly lower, the screen is faster bigger. But the phone is heavier. The camera is significantly better than the S2. Downsides are its a lot bigger and heavier. The only really issue I have with it is the battery is so big that once its really low or empty it takes a long time to charge back up. And because the battery is so big you loose the habit of constantly having it charging.

Power saver mode is outstanding

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great phone for the money. Battery life is still good - actually amazing when on battery saver mode, can get many days of use when all unnecessary features are turned off, which is perfect for extended trips into the back country where I use the phone just for navigation and photography. Decent photos. Only drawback is no wireless charging.

bang for the buck

Its a nice budget phone not a flashy phone. Have been using it from more than a year now, no issues so far. Performance is good.
