Samsung Galaxy A Series Specs

For starters, the Galaxy A32 and A52 both have 4G and 5G compatible models. For some reason, the 4G models have slightly better specs than the 5G but this all adds to the flexibility of choice Samsung is offering.

The flagship phone is the A72 which is the biggest in terms of size, camera and battery, but lacks 5G compatibility.

Here’s a breakdown of the key specs to help you work it all out:

Price

Now the important stuff — price.

Being a mid-range phone series, the Galaxy A handsets come in at a much more competitive price than the Galaxy S21 models. Here are the outright prices:

  • Galaxy A32 4G/5G – $499
  • Galaxy A52 4G – $599
  • Galaxy A52 5G – $749
  • Galaxy A72 – $749

As you can see this is quite the undercut from the $1000-2000 asking price of the S21 series and is pretty reasonable if you want a reliable phone without all the fancy bells and whistles. It’s also particularly attractive if you want a 5G phone at an affordable price.

In extra good news, for customers who order one of these new Series A phones between April 9 and April 23, Samsung will throw in a free pair of Galaxy Buds Live, which normally retail for $319.

You can purchase the new A-Series phones from Samsung’s website or at local retailers.
