Samsung Adds Three Smartphones To Galaxy A Line Despite Global Chip Shortage
Samsung added to its lower-cost Galaxy A lineup by adding the A52, A52 5G, and A72. The models all include higher-end features like Super AMOLED displays (6.7-inch for the A72 and 6.5-inch for the others), a quad camera on the back, headphone jacks, two-day battery life, and MicroSD slots that can increase memory up to 1TB. Samsung is even throwing in the charger in the device boxes. The A52 and A72 run on Qualcomm's Snapdragon 720G chips and the A52 5G has the 5G-enabled 750G. The models are all available with either 6GB or 8GB of RAM and the standard A52 throws in a lower 4GB option. All models have a 64MP f/1.8 primary camera, a 12MP f/2.2 ultra-wide camera, and a 5MP f/2.4 macro camera. The A52s throw on a depth camera as the fourth and the A72 has an 8-megapixel 3x telephoto lens. Pricing and availability haven't been announced, although last year's Galaxy A models ranged from $400 to $600.
