Samsung’s latest mid-ranger features a 120Hz AMOLED display, triple cameras, and the Snapdragon 778G

In August this year, we got our first look at two upcoming Samsung Galaxy M series devices — the Galaxy M32 5G and the Galaxy M52 5G. Soon after that, Samsung launched the Galaxy M32 5G in the Indian market. The device offered MediaTek’s Dimensity 720 5G SoC, a 6.5-inch HD+ display, a 48MP quad-camera setup, and a 5,000mAh battery for a starting price of ₹18,999. Samsung has now launched the more premium Galaxy M52 5G in the region, and it offers significantly better hardware for a starting price of ₹29,999.

The Samsung Galaxy M52 5G packs a Qualcomm SoC instead of a MediaTek chip like the Galaxy M32 5G. It features the mid-range Snapdragon 778G 5G, paired with either 6GB or 8GB of RAM and 128GB storage. On the display front, the Galaxy M52 5G is a big step up from the Galaxy M32 5G. Instead of an HD+ LCD, it features a 6.7-inch FHD+ AMOLED display with 120Hz refresh rate support.

Like the Galaxy M32 5G, Samsung has included a 5,000mAh battery on the Galaxy M52 5G. However, it offers better fast charging support. While the M32 only supported 15W wired fast charging, the M52 supports 25W wired fast charging. On the software front, the device runs One UI 3.1 based on Android 11 out of the box.
