About the Samsung Galaxy M52 5G

The Galaxy M52 5G comes from Samsung's online-first M range, where the brief is to put the specs people actually notice at the top of the list and quietly trim elsewhere. The result is a phone that punches above its class in two areas: a 6.7-inch Super AMOLED Plus panel running at 120Hz, which is a genuinely flagship-feeling screen, and a Snapdragon 778G that handles multitasking and mainstream games without complaint. It is also strikingly thin at 7.4mm and light for its size at 173g, which makes a big-screen phone easier to live with. Trade-offs show up around the edges. There is no headphone jack, no official water resistance rating and no wireless charging, and while the 64MP main camera is solid in daylight, the 12MP ultra-wide and 5MP macro fall away quickly in poor light. Samsung took it to Android 13 with One UI 5.1, so its software runway has ended. Best treated as a big-screen workhorse rather than a long-haul purchase.

Frequently asked questions

Is the Samsung Galaxy M52 5G worth buying?
It is worth buying if you want a large 120Hz Super AMOLED screen and dependable 5G performance in a slim, light body. The Snapdragon 778G remains capable for everyday apps and gaming. The reasons to think twice are the missing headphone jack, the lack of an official IP water rating, and the fact that Samsung's guaranteed updates ended with Android 13.
Does the Samsung Galaxy M52 5G have expandable storage?
Yes. It ships with 128GB of internal storage and takes a microSDXC card of up to 1TB, so you can add space cheaply for photos, music and offline video. RAM is either 6GB or 8GB depending on the configuration.
How long does the Samsung Galaxy M52 5G battery last?
The 5,000mAh battery is large enough to clear a full day of mixed use for most people, though running the screen at 120Hz all day will shorten that. It supports 25W wired charging but no wireless charging, and Samsung did not include a charger in the box.
Does the Samsung Galaxy M52 5G have a headphone jack?
No. Samsung dropped the 3.5mm jack on this model, so you will need USB-C headphones, a USB-C to 3.5mm adapter, or Bluetooth earbuds. There are also no stereo speakers, only a single downward-firing speaker.
Is the Samsung Galaxy M52 5G camera good?
The 64MP main camera produces sharp, well-balanced daylight shots typical of Samsung's mid-range processing, and the 32MP front camera is strong for selfies and video calls. The 12MP ultra-wide is usable but softer, and the 5MP macro is a novelty. There is no telephoto lens, so zoom is a digital crop.
Should I get the Samsung Galaxy M52 5G or the Galaxy M53?
Both are 6.7-inch 120Hz Super AMOLED Plus phones with 5,000mAh batteries, 25W charging and microSD support, so the basics match. The M53 moves to a MediaTek Dimensity 900, raises the main camera from 64MP to 108MP, and launched on newer software that carried it further through Android updates. Pick the M53 for the newer platform, or the M52 5G if you prefer its Snapdragon 778G.

Older flagships are de-rated since image processing pipelines have advanced significantly each generation. Megapixel count is deliberately downweighted — it correlates poorly with real-world camera quality.

Based on battery capacity (mAh) adjusted for platform efficiency calibrated against NotebookCheck, Tom's Guide, GSMArena and CNET reviewer tests. Apple A-series gets +45% (iOS process freezing + LTPO 1Hz + tuned panels make iPhone Pro Max outlast many 6500+ mAh Android phones in measured tests). Top Snapdragon / Dimensity flagships get +15%, budget chipsets are penalised −15% to −25% to reflect less efficient displays and looser background limits. Charging speed is excluded — see the separate Fast charging tag for that.
