Galaxy M52 5G review: Snapdragon 778G 5G with a 120 Hz Super AMOLED in a slim 7.4 mm mid-ranger.
The slim 5G-mid-ranger Samsung shipped before the FE habit.
M52 5G hit a sweet spot: SD778G performance, a real 120 Hz AMOLED, a slim 7.4 mm frame, and the jack/microSD combo Samsung was already dropping from S-series. The mono speaker and lack of IP rating are the costs.
