Samsung's self-owning Galaxy M series phone now coming on September 28

The Galaxy M52 5G is quite similar to the Galaxy A52s 5G, but it will probably feature a lower price tag and be a better value proposition as a result. It will feature a Super AMOLED Infinity-O display, a triple-camera setup at the rear, and a 5,000mAh battery. Samsung also claims that its upcoming phone is slimmer than previous-generation Galaxy M series devices.

M52 5G might end up being a better deal than the A52s, except in software updates

Previous leaks and rumors had revealed that the Galaxy M52 5G would feature a 6.7-inch Super AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate, a side-mounted fingerprint reader, and 25W fast charging. At the front, the smartphone could sport a 32MP selfie camera. At the rear, it could have a 64MP primary camera with OIS, a 12MP ultrawide camera, and a 5MP macro camera.

The device will come equipped with the Snapdragon 778G processor, similar to the Galaxy A52s 5G. It could also feature 6GB/8GB RAM, 128GB internal storage, and a microSD card slot. However, the Galaxy A52s 5G could still lead in terms of software updates. None of the Galaxy M series smartphones have received three major Android OS updates.

The Galaxy M52 5G could be launched in three colors: black, blue, and white. Other features of the upcoming smartphone could include GPS, a dual-SIM card slot, 5G, Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth 5.0, NFC, a USB Type-C port, and a 3.5mm headphone jack. Hopefully the device won't suffer from the same mysterious problem found in some other Galaxy A and Galaxy M devices.
