It&#8217;s essential to know if a phone you&#8217;re thinking of buying is waterproof anyway especially if you frequent the pool a lot or want to use your smartphone while in the hot tub or generally work near areas with a consistent body of water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Before we dissect the facts on the water-resistant status of these two phones, let&#8217;s rush through some quick specs of both devices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"samsung-galaxy-a52-quick-specs\">Samsung Galaxy A52 Quick Specs<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Samsung Galaxy A52 hands-on &amp; key features\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/5KoftImkJIQ?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The Samsung Galaxy A52 is expected to release globally around the 26th of March with a Super AMOLED, 120Hz screen, stuff you normally see on the $1000 flagship phones. Still on the screen, its a 6.5 inches 1080 x 2400 pixels, 20:9 ratio design with corning gorilla glass 5.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The device also comes with Android 11, One UI 3.1 out of the box, and has the Qualcomm SM7225 Snapdragon 750G 5G, yep, it&#8217;s 5G Capable with the base RAM version starting at 6GB and up to 8GB RAM, up to 256GB ROM. Much better than last year&#8217;s A51 starting at 4GB of RAM.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Camera-wise there&#8217;s going to be a quad-camera setup, but with a different design from last year, here are the details: 64 MP, f\/1.8, 26mm (wide), 1\/1.7X&#8221;, 0.8\u00b5m, PDAF, OIS, 12 MP, f\/2.2, 123\u02da (ultrawide), 1.12\u00b5m, 5 MP, f\/2.4, (macro) and a 5 MP, f\/2.4, (depth). The selfie camera is pegged at 32MP and both cameras are capable of recording 4K Videos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You get a Li-Po 4500 mAh, USB-Type C, and fast charging up to 25W and the device is expected to cost around $450.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"samsung-galaxy-a72-quick-specs\">Samsung Galaxy A72 Quick Specs<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Samsung Galaxy A72 Impressions!\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/5GVf87XMI2k?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The Samsung Galaxy A72 is expected to release globally around the 26th of March with a Super AMOLED, 90Hz screen, identical to the smaller A52 but 90Hz, you&#8217;ll get the 120HZ refresh rate on the 5G version.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The specs are pretty similar but with this one spotting a Li-Ion 5000 mAh, non-removable battery, and slightly larger screen. This device is expected to retail for $499.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"is-the-samsung-galaxy-a52-and-a72-waterproof\">Is The Samsung Galaxy A52 and A72 Waterproof?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Surprisingly? Yes. Both phones come with an IP67 dust\/water resistant rating and can withstand being dunked into the water for slightly less than two minutes. Not a lot or the kind of protection you&#8217;ll get from an IP68 rating like <a class=\"rank-math-link\" data-abc=\"true\" href=\"https:\/\/techsofar.com\/oneplus-8-vs-motorola-edge\/\">the one on the OnePlus 8<\/a> but it&#8217;s a step in the right direction as these midrange devices usually don&#8217;t have an IP rating, at least Samsung&#8217;s budget phones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"in-conclusion\">In conclusion?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>These phones pack quite the punch. Note that there are ordinary versions of the device and 5G versions for users living in areas with 5G antennas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The 5G versions are also a little bit pricier than the ordinary versions and have quite a bumped up spec-sheet than the other so please take note of that when making a buying decision.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Thanks for visiting our site, consider subscribing to our YouTube channel today, we have a lot of content planned for our readers \ud83d\ude42<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"With the new of not just any Samsung phone but every mid-range phone comes this all too familiar&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":3641,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[128],"tags":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/techsofar.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/note-20-ultra.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/techsofar.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3946"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/techsofar.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/techsofar.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/techsofar.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/6"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/techsofar.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3946"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/techsofar.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3946\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/techsofar.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/3641"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/techsofar.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3946"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/techsofar.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3946"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/techsofar.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3946"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
