Samsung oopsie confirms Galaxy A52 5G and Galaxy Xcover 5 are debuting soon

Samsung doesn’t have a particularly stellar record of preventing its upcoming products from getting leaked. But occasionally, the company finds itself doing an oopsie or two. The latest one involves not one, but two yet-to-be-launched devices – the Galaxy A52 5G mid-ranger and the rugged Galaxy Xcover 5 – both of which have been leaked extensively in the past few weeks. The Korean electronics behemoth listed the two aforementioned phones on its official Android security update database.

Interestingly, names of both the devices have now been removed from the database, but screenshots floating on the internet suggest that a mistake was made on Samsung’s part. And to further compound Samsung’s woes, leaks have revealed almost everything about the Galaxy A52 5G, including detailed specs, pricing information, and have given us a clear look at its design as well.

The Samsung Galaxy A52 5G will reportedly arrive rocking a 6.5-inch FHD+ (2400 x 1080 pixels) Super AMOLED display with an impressive 120Hz refresh rate – a first for a non-flagship Samsung smartphone. Inside, you’ll find the Qualcomm Snapdragon 750G serving as the brains, assisted by 6/8 GB of RAM and 128/256 GB of onboard storage.

Selfie and video-calling responsibilities on the IP67-certified phone will be shouldered by a 32MP snapper. A 4,500mAh battery with support for 25W fast charging will be there to provide the juice.

Samsung’s upcoming Galaxy A52 fully leaked with renders, specs, and pricing in tow

Over the past few weeks, Samsung’s upcoming mid-ranger – the Galaxy A52 – has popped up on multiple occasions in leaks, giving us a glimpse of its design and some key specs too. Now, the folks over at Winfuture have shared almost everything there is to know about the Galaxy A52 – including some sweet high-resolution renders, internal hardware details, and the asking price too – for both its 4G and 5G variants.

Snapdragon 720G inside the 4G model, Snapdragon 750G for the 5G version

Starting with the differences, cellular connectivity standard is obviously the key variance between the 4G and 5G models of the Galaxy A52. Additionally, the 4G variant will rely on the Qualcomm Snapdragon 720G SoC, while the 5G model will draw firepower from the Snapdragon 750G processor that has an integrated 5G modem. The rest of the internal hardware is almost identical.

Galaxy A52 will reportedly come armed with a 6.5-inch FHD+ (2400 x 1080 pixels) Super AMOLED display with a 90Hz refresh rate – goes up to 120Hz on the 5G model – and a centered hole-punch in accordance with the Infinity-O design language. The Qualcomm SoC will be paired with 6/8 GB of RAM and 128/256 GB of onboard storage with scope for further expansion via a microSD card slot.

64MP main rear camera and a 32MP snapper on the front

Coming to the imaging hardware, the quad rear camera setup is highlighted by a 64MP primary snapper. It sits alongside an 8MP ultra-wide-angle lens, and 5MP and 2MP cameras as well – likely for macro photography and depth sensing. On the front, Galaxy A52 is said to offer a 32MP camera for selfie and video calling duties.

A 4,500mAh battery with support for 25W fast charging will keep the lights on, but wireless charging is missing. Android 11 will handle things on the software side, while the build of Galaxy A52 is claimed to be IP67-certified. Biometric authentication, on the other hand, will be handled by an in-display fingerprint sensor.

Sadly, no wireless charging support for Samsung's upcoming mid-range gladiator

Coming to the pricing part, the Samsung Galaxy A52 will reportedly set buyers back by €349 (~ $420) for its 4G LTE model, while the 5G model will come with a €429 (~ $520) price tag attached to it. However, the pricing might differ from region to region, and a concrete launch date hasn’t been revealed either.
