Samsung is working on its new smartphone with mid-range 5G connectivity at an affordable price: what the Galaxy A52 will look like
5G connectivity within everyone’s reach. This seems to be Samsung’s strategy as it prepares to launch its new Galaxy A52 5G mid-range smartphone. New rumors confirm an upcoming model for the South Korean company equipped with a Soc Qualcomm Snapdragon 750 5G.
Samsung with the new smartphone shows that it wants to consolidate itself as a manufacturer of budget phones with 5G connectivity and repeat the success of Galaxy A51 5G. To reveal the first characteristics of the new model is the benchmark portal Geekbench: the new model number SM-A526B receives 298 in single-core and 1001 points in multi-core.
