It has a soft-textured plastic back, with a slim camera, aluminum frame and is available in four colors; “Awesome Violet”, “Awesome Black”, “Awesome White” and “Awesome Blue”. Awesome…
In-display fingerprint sensor at the bottom of the screen, 3.5mm headphone jack, USB-C port and speaker grille. The A52 5G is also IP67-rated for water and dust protection, which is another bonus. Good in the hand, although heavier than the previous model. Display
The A52 5G’s Super AMOLED screen measures 6.5in from corner to corner, with an FHD+ (2,400 x 1,080) resolution and a pixel of 405ppi. Awesome 120Hz.
