Samsung has announced its new range of Galaxy A smartphones including the A52, A52 5G and A72. Like previous years, the Samsung Galaxy A range aims to be the “affordable” smartphone from the tech giant and this year is no different.
while the price tags on these phones are below R10k, the feature set makes it seem otherwise. The Samsung Galaxy A52 boasts a 90Hz refresh rate with the quad rear camera array while the A72 includes similar specs but with some enhancements to the optical zoom and of course, the larger display.
