[문화뉴스 이홍주 기자] Samsung Electronics opened the first unpack of the popular’Galaxy A’series. The three Galaxy A52, Galaxy A52 5G, and Galaxy A72 released by Unpack are equipped with various functions of the flagship series and are receiving favorable reviews from foreign media as a perfect upgrade that is different from the previous one.
On the 17th (Korean time), Samsung Electronics unveiled the new Galaxy A series in the online’Samsung Galaxy Awesome Unpack’. This is the first time that Samsung Electronics has dealt with the low-end Galaxy A series at an unpack event. Until now, Samsung has held the unpack event only for the premium series.
The Galaxy A52 and Galaxy A52 5G are 6.5 inches, and the Galaxy A72 is 6.7 inches. Unlike the previous Galaxy A series, which used a glossy plastic material, it is remarkable that the back is finished with a matte finish using a’plastic’ material. The haze method was used, and the camera housing was also very simple. The colors are Awesome White, Violet, Blue, and Black. There are many reviews that the design as a whole is modern and sensible.
It supports SD card expansion of up to 1TB capacity, and it also supports a 3.5mm earphone jack that has disappeared from the premium series, but is still in demand in mid-range aircraft. The charger configuration that was excluded from the Galaxy S21 package was also included in the Galaxy A series package.
The Galaxy A series, which was unveiled this time, has been greatly upgraded compared to the previous game in terms of functionality.
The three Galaxy A series are equipped with quad cameras. In common with the series, a 64 million-pixel main camera with OIS (optical image stabilization function), a 12-megapixel ultra-wide-angle camera, and a 5 million-pixel close-up camera are mounted. The Galaxy A52 and Galaxy A52 5G are equipped with a 5-megapixel depth camera, and the Galaxy A72 is equipped with an 8-megapixel telephoto camera to support 3x optical zoom, which was only supported by the flagship series. The front camera has 32 million pixels in common.
The refresh rate, which indicates the smoothness of the screen when playing games or scrolling web pages, has also been greatly increased. The Galaxy A52 and Galaxy A72 support 90Hz, and the Galaxy A52 5G supports 120Hz. Among the previous Galaxy A series, the screen brightness is the highest at 800nit. The’eye care’ display, which greatly reduces blue light that causes eye fatigue, is also installed. The design that considers the user’s eye health stands out.
It is also noticeable that it has a large-capacity battery. The Galaxy A52 and Galaxy A52 5G are equipped with 4500mAh, and the Galaxy A72 is equipped with a 5000mAh battery. AI-based battery optimization technology is applied, so it can be used for up to two days for daily use. It also supports 25W fast charging.
For the first time in the Galaxy A series, the speaker quality has been greatly improved by using stereo speakers instead of mono speakers. Compared to the previous work, the volume has increased by up to 43%. In addition, Dolby Atmos function is installed, so you can feel a more three-dimensional sound.
Mobile security platform’Samsung Nox’ enhances device security by protecting user data in real time.
It also supports waterproof and dustproof functions that have not been seen in the Galaxy A series for a while. It is designed to be waterproof and dustproof with an IP67 rating.
In addition, it supports many premium features such as Smart Things, Music Share, Buzz Together, Fun Mode, AR Emoji, Scene Optimization, and Multi Frame Processing.
Although the Galaxy A series has made considerable progress in terms of design and functionality, it has been set at a relatively reasonable price. It costs 349 euros for the Galaxy A52 (about 470,000 won), 429 euros for the Galaxy A52 5G (about 570,000 won), and 449 euros for the Galaxy A72 (about 600,000 won).
In terms of performance, the Galaxy A52, Galaxy A52 5G, and Galaxy A72 are interpreted as Samsung Electronics’ attempts to target the global entry-level smartphone market by narrowing the gap between the entry-level line and the flagship line. In the announcement of the release of the Galaxy A series, which has changed 180 degrees from its predecessor, foreign press and IT markets are paying attention to whether Samsung Electronics will be able to take over the low-end smartphone market following the success of the A series.
Meanwhile, the release date of the Galaxy A series has not been officially confirmed yet, but it is expected to be released in early April.
