SAMSUNG A52 5G A526U 128GB Fully Unlocked Android Smartphone (Renewed)

I love this phone, it's amazing. Fast, got a nice size screen. It feels good in my hands. Functionality is awesome. Very durable as I've dropped it several times and it has not broke. Scratch resistant. Connects easy to wifi.

Even though there's a quite a bit of scratches on the body of the phone the screen has nothing wrong with it and it works excellent very fast at uploading stuff to it I am very happy with it I would recommend this cell phone to anybody

I wanted it to work so bad the screen is so stunning with vivid mode on but since I got it which was from 8 a.m til now it’s 5:37 pm now, it’s BEEN charging and is sadly still on 7% I can’t keep it.And it’s not my charger I tried my grandpas, my other one and the original one in the box.The item moved from 2 stars to 4, because even though there was initially problems with me charging, most chargers are faulty still, but the computer turbo charger I have, it will charge the phone, so I just use that. I'm not sure if I'm going to return it still. It is a well-optimized phone, and it's running nicely. I just didn't appreciate that when I got the phone, the battery life was about 2 hours. I had to look up on Reddit how to extend the battery life, and I got 7 to 9 hours out of it, but I'm not sure if that's the company's fault, I don't think it is, but I've always liked phones with really long battery life, but because I can get around 7 to 9 hours depending on how I use the phone, aka mostly having to have the brightness at 10% at all times, and then I can stretch it. So overall not a bad buy.With consistent use the last about four hours and a half, five max

At first, the phone worked great and the camera quality was amazing, but when you call or receive a call, the phone freezes and you can't hang up and even if the other person hangs up, you will need to constantly restart it, the phone has become very glitchy and un usable as I can't even open up regular apps with out the phone needing to be restarted, i recently put the phone on charger over night and when I woke up, the screen looked like it was shattered on the inside and the cord was very hot, the screen no longer works and I had to order a new screen replacement and hopefully it works properly again.

Updated for Battery1 Capacity - It appears to have come with about 95% of new A52 5G battery capacity.2 Charging - Using the charging brick and cable that came in the box it takes about an hour to charge from 25% to 85%. Using the Samung 4.0 battery saving feature I have the phone set at 85% maximum chargeNote: I have the cable plugged into a UPS and not directly into the electrical outlet in the wall. Charging might be faster if charging directly from an electrical outlet.3 Discharging - Maybe six or so hours of battery with continous video and audio streaming. A full day's use of mixed use depending on how many hours you actually use apps on your phone. Updating apps especially if you have a lot of them in addition to the Google and Samsung apps that come with the phone could use up to 5% of your battery charge during a single update session if you don't update daily. Google app updates are big battery users.Overall the battery is okay. Not great and not awful especially if you take the time to optimize your phone using Samsung's optimization features including Sleep and Deep Sleep. I don't know how much the use of the phone app drains the phone as I am not a big phone talker so no point in checking.On a personal note. I am not a big talker nor do I stream video or audio from my phone though I keep the phone on 24/7. I am getting several days of use from a single charge to 85%-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------I received the phone on Saturday three days ahead of schedule. Also received the case on Saturday, one day ahead of schdule.It was clear from the box the A52 5G came in that it was a renewed phone. I didn't see any scratches on the display. Since I keep the phone is a case like I have all my phones I didn't bother looking for scratches or marks on the back, The seller has a 98% rating on AmazonAnyway. I used Samsung's switch app to move all my stuff from my Tab A7 to the A52 5G. It took a while, a little over an hour. Not all the apps moved over so I manually added the few that didn'tThis morning the phone received Android 12 along with Samsung UI 4.0. A definite improvement over Android 11 and UI 3.1. One of the new features of UI 4.0 under Settings is a hardware test app. Since the phione is renewed I was glad to see that. I used it to check out all the hardware componentsm except facial recognition, which I am not using at the moment and they all checked out fine.Interesting, that all the Samsung apps on the phone udated from the Galaxy Store after 12.0 x 4.0 were completely installed.Now for a few comments about the A52 5GSo far no problem with my ISP accepting the phone. Just switched the sim card and also the SSD card from my A12. Both the phone and the card worked fine right after intalling them in the A52 5G.Not overwhelmingly fast or slow. A nice speed for what I use a phone for. I am not a gamer so I can't comment on that.The display while not great in the bright sun is more than readable outdoors in the bight sun. The adaptive display feature works fine and doesn't dim the display too much in the dark.The audio without headphones or a bluetooth speaker while not the quality you get with those is loud enough without themI can't comment on the battery life at this time since I just got the phone along with an included fast charger brick and cable. Charged it when I got it and again during the update to 12.0 x 4.0, So in the less than three days that I have had the phone it has done heavy work on two of those days which obviously affects the battery drainage.As far as the in display fingerprint scanner goes. I knew before hand that it has gotten a lot of unfavorable reviews. I am using it regulary even to open apps. To wake the phone tap once to bring up the location of the scanner, then place your finger on that spot. It works fine though it is a bitt slow. You have to hold your finger on the scanner for a couple of seconds before it opens up whatever.I expect the battery will be fine since the phone is less than a year old and how many charges can one do in less than a year? As the phones sytems softwarew learns and tunes itself and with some tweaks I imagine the battery life will be more than good enough.One last thing. The A52 5G though it has the same display size 6.5" as the A12 is lighter and narrower than the A12. I have small hands and it is a comfortable fit. I can't speak about one haned use since I have never used only one hand on any of my phones. Hold the phone tight and secure from dropping it with my left and and operate it with my right hand.

I admit I was a bit skeptical purchasing a phone online, but my husband shattered the screen of his Galaxy S21 about 7pm on a Sunday. We weren't in a position to purchase brand new from our carrier so I took our chance searching and comparing multiple models on Amazon. This Galaxy A52 was delivered the next day in excellent condition and everything is operating as expected. My husband is happy with my choice.
