Reasons why we believe the Galaxy A52 5G is THE mid-range phone to buy
The Galaxy A52 5G was officially released a few weeks ago and the new mid-range hero has certainly met and even exceeded our expectations.

Samsung is now looking to expand availability for the Galaxy A52 5G in additional markets, and India might be next in line. The Galaxy A52 5G will face strong opposition in India where mid-range phones thrive in popularity, and that’s equally true for Samsung’s own portfolio.

We are talking about the Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra and the Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra. However, you will be the final judge if there must be a winner.
