OTHER AVAILABLE TESTS FOR THIS DEVICE
The Samsung Galaxy A52s 5G, released in August 2021, is an update to the Galaxy A52 5G released earlier in the year, and is part of the lower-priced A line of devices that provide alternatives to the brand’s more expensive flagships.

 

Audio specifications include:

  • Two stereo speakers (bottom right, side-firing; top center, front-firing)
  • 3.5mm jack for headphones

With the two devices sharing the same audio specs, one would expect the Samsung Galaxy A52s 5G  test results and scores to be identical to those of the A52 5G. We have confirmed this by putting the Samsung Galaxy A52s 5G through the  DXOMARK Audio test suite.
