Samsung Galaxy A52s is priced at Rs 35,999 in India and is an upgrade to Galaxy A52. The smartphone comes with 5G, a display with 120Hz refresh rate, and Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 778G SoC. But how worthy is the upgrade? Read our Samsung Galaxy A52s review to find out more.
Samsung Galaxy A52s review: Design and Display
We really liked the design and the look and feel of the Samsung Galaxy A52s. The handset sports a polycarbonate back panel that has a matte finish coupled with a plastic frame. The matte finish of the back panel didn’t take away from the premium looks of the device and at the same time, it was efficient enough to not get any fingerprints. Since the colour of the back of the smartphone we got for review was white, it sometimes looked like it was made of marble. The camera module of the device is placed on the back too and it houses four lenses and an LED flash. Besides that, there is Samsung branding in Silver colour present on it. The right edge of Samsung Galaxy A52s houses the Power and the Volume Rocker keys, while SIM tray and the secondary microphone are on the top. The speaker grill, Type-C port, microphone and the 3.5mm headphone jack are on the bottom edge of the device. Flip over and you’ll see the 6.5-inch display of the smartphone that is outlined with rather thick bezels and has an even thicker chin at the bottom. There is a selfie camera on the top of the screen and there is a tiny earpiece placed between the display and the frame of the phone. It is worth mentioning that Samsung Galaxy A52s comes with an IP67 rating and is hence, dust and water-resistant. Coming to the screen of the smartphone, it comes with a 6.5-inch full-HD+ Super AMOLED display that is protected with a layer of Gorilla Glass 5 and has a refresh rate of 120Hz. The colours projected on the display are accurate and stay consistent at different viewing angles. The images displayed are sharp, clear and the experience of watching videos was decent. It could have been better had the phone had support for HDR10. The sunlight readability of the device was good too and the screen did not catch our fingerprints during our time with the handset.In a nutshell, we can easily say that Samsung Galaxy A52s has a beautiful design and a vibrant display – both of which impressed us.
Samsung Galaxy A52s review: Performance and cameras
Before we begin speaking about the performance of the Samsung Galaxy A52s, let’s take a minute to discuss its specifications. The handset is powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 778G SoC clubbed with 8GB of RAM and 128GB of internal storage. Other than this, the device can also hold a microSD card of up to 1TB. The smartphone runs Android 11 skinned with Samsung’s own One UI 3.1. The software on the phone is very customized and comes with a number of pre-installed apps including Byju’s, PhonePe, Josh, Koo, Moj, etc, and even some apps from Samsung’s own suite. The only upside here is that most of these can be uninstalled in case you decide not to keep them. Galaxy Store cannot be uninstalled, but then, it didn’t bother us with too many notifications so it was fine. Coming to the performance of Samsung Galaxy A52s, the smartphone performed most of the daily tasks well. We even used it for multitasking and opened multiple tabs of Chrome and apps together and switched between them, but the device handled most of it pretty well. We played a number of games on the handset and during our time with it, we didn’t face any major issues or lags. The device did heat up a bit when we played Asphalt 9: Legends, but it wasn’t too much of a problem. We do recommend going to the Game Launcher app and tweaking the settings to get the best experience out of the handset. The 4,500mAh battery of Samsung Galaxy A52s takes around an hour and a half to charge completely and it lasts more than a day with usage involving gaming, watching videos and an active Instagram account. Finally, let’s talk about the cameras of the smartphone. Samsung Galaxy A52s comes with a 64MP primary lens, a 12MP ultra-wide sensor, and a macro and a depth sensor with 5MP lenses. There is also a 32MP selfie camera on the device. Most images that we took during the day using the primary lens turned out to be great. The image quality was very clear and the colours were vibrant too. The good quality of images remained consistent indoors as well as outdoors. The ultra-wide sensor did an average job and obviously the quality of pictures wasn’t as great as it was in the ones taken by the primary sensor. There was a little distortion that we noticed in some shots too. The macro camera and the depth sensor both managed to click decent shots. We should point out that the pictures we took in low light didn’t turn out too great in terms of details and clarity. Enabling the Night Mode would help, but only to a certain extent. The selfie camera did a good job, but only in well-lit areas.
Verdict
Samsung Galaxy A52s at Rs 29,300 (on Amazon) is a good buy and it comes with a beautiful design, a vibrant 120Hz display, IP rating, and a lasting battery. The cameras don’t really impress and the smartphone also lacks HDR10+ support, which could have enhanced the video experience on it. Also, the device competes with a lot of smartphones in the same range that offer more. If the pros of the smartphone look appealing to you, we recommend you to buy it during the ongoing sales where you’re likely to find a few discounts on it. Pros
The Google ecosystem is quite large with millions of users on it. Its cloud service which is named Drive is one of the most popular and widely used cloud storage across the globe. Consumers use the Drive storage for storing images, documents and videos. It often happens that the users feel like playing the uploaded video natively. There is no denying that the native video player of google Drive is buggy and laggy and sometimes glitches out while using. From blank screen to error messages, you might surely have encountered a video player problem on G Drive. Here is how you can fix it.
Avoid pirated content
Let’s face it, many users use drive links or uploads to share pirated content from either one device to another or share the same with your friends or family. Initially, the content will play as the upload is fresh for the Google updates. But sooner or later either Google will not let you play it or delete the uploaded content. The Google servers use a smart file hashing function to find such content and either ban, block or remove it.
Exceeding max supported resolution
You can indeed upload any file with any format on your Google drive if the available storage for your plan is available. But if you want to play a video more than the supported playback resolution the Drive won’t allow it. The maximum set video resolution supported by Google Drive is 1,920×1,080. To play a higher resolution video you need to download it and play it natively on the system.
Large file size
Google Drive is generous enough to let you upload a video with a size up to 5TB (if you have that much available storage). Well, it’s more than enough for most of the users, but are you trying to upload and play a video of more than 5TB? Wow, but don’t do that the Drive won’t let you upload or playback the video. A solution to this can be if you split the video into multiple parts and then upload it one by one.
Video Corrupted
If you face the “Video cannot be played” error there is a chance that the video you are trying to play has been corrupted. Try downloading the file and playing the video offline if that works for you.Read Also: How to fix the USB drive format error message in Windows
Unsupported file type
There are some video file formats that Google Drive does not support. To know the file formats supported, head to the Supported formats tab to check if the file you are trying to play is covered in the list. If the file format is not present we advise you to convert the file format and try again.
Try Incognito mode
Sometimes extensions installed on your browser hinders the video playback in Drive natively. To solve this try opening the file in the incognito/private mode, which is supported by most of the latest browsers. The incognito mode disables all the extensions and will eliminate the error caused by any add ons.
Open the video in the new tab
Try opening the video in a new tab to do so right-click on the video and press preview. Inside the tab press three-dot on the right top corner and select open in a new window. Try playing the video now to check if the problem persists.
Make a copy
Your video file might have been stuck on a bad cache sector and thus resulted in not playing. To solve it right-click on the video file and select make a copy, try playing the copy of the video file to see if your problem is solved.
Toggle off block cookies
Open the browser setting and head to the security section. Here you will find settings related to cookies. Ensure that the cookies are enabled(Google Chrome image used for reference)Read Also: How can you block Google trackers on Chrome?
Sign out of multiple accounts
While Google allows you to sign in to multiple accounts, many users have reported that this creates an issue. To solve it tap on the profile photo on the top right corner, then press sign out.
