Samsung Galaxy A52 5G, 128GB - Unlocked (Renewed)

First one I bought suddenly started typing on its own and acting up. Contacted the seller and they immediately offered a refund or replacement. Since I had made this phone my main number I opted to replace it and they let me hold on to it until the new phone came. They issued a USPS return label and all I had to do was put the phone and accessories in the original box, tape the label on, and put it in the mailbox. So far the second (a couple/few weeks) is working fine - it did have one weird issue but I think it was due to not having the charger cord in all the way or something. I also have an a42. It appears the a52 gets better reception (I think there was a revision in the antenna design between 42 and 52). I don't like some of the software differences (personal opinion) but maybe in later updates Android will switch some things around. I always buy the refurbished phones. Why spend hundreds/thousands. I don't spend my life on my phone. Ratings: Phone - Seems to work as expected. Seller - Exceptional. Stood behind the sale and worked with me to take care of things. Can't ask for much more than that. Any seller will eventually have an issue with some product - a good seller works with the customer to solve it.

Updated for Battery 1 Capacity - It appears to have come with about 95% of new A52 5G battery capacity. 2 Charging - Using the charging brick and cable that came in the box it takes about an hour to charge from 25% to 85%. Using the Samung 4.0 battery saving feature I have the phone set at 85% maximum charge Note: I have the cable plugged into a UPS and not directly into the electrical outlet in the wall. Charging might be faster if charging directly from an electrical outlet. 3 Discharging - Maybe six or so hours of battery with continous video and audio streaming. A full day's use of mixed use depending on how many hours you actually use apps on your phone. Updating apps especially if you have a lot of them in addition to the Google and Samsung apps that come with the phone could use up to 5% of your battery charge during a single update session if you don't update daily. Google app updates are big battery users. Overall the battery is okay. Not great and not awful especially if you take the time to optimize your phone using Samsung's optimization features including Sleep and Deep Sleep. I don't know how much the use of the phone app drains the phone as I am not a big phone talker so no point in checking. On a personal note. I am not a big talker nor do I stream video or audio from my phone though I keep the phone on 24/7. I am getting several days of use from a single charge to 85% ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I received the phone on Saturday three days ahead of schedule. Also received the case on Saturday, one day ahead of schdule. It was clear from the box the A52 5G came in that it was a renewed phone. I didn't see any scratches on the display. Since I keep the phone is a case like I have all my phones I didn't bother looking for scratches or marks on the back, The seller has a 98% rating on Amazon Anyway. I used Samsung's switch app to move all my stuff from my Tab A7 to the A52 5G. It took a while, a little over an hour. Not all the apps moved over so I manually added the few that didn't This morning the phone received Android 12 along with Samsung UI 4.0. A definite improvement over Android 11 and UI 3.1. One of the new features of UI 4.0 under Settings is a hardware test app. Since the phione is renewed I was glad to see that. I used it to check out all the hardware componentsm except facial recognition, which I am not using at the moment and they all checked out fine. Interesting, that all the Samsung apps on the phone udated from the Galaxy Store after 12.0 x 4.0 were completely installed. Now for a few comments about the A52 5G So far no problem with my ISP accepting the phone. Just switched the sim card and also the SSD card from my A12. Both the phone and the card worked fine right after intalling them in the A52 5G. Not overwhelmingly fast or slow. A nice speed for what I use a phone for. I am not a gamer so I can't comment on that. The display while not great in the bright sun is more than readable outdoors in the bight sun. The adaptive display feature works fine and doesn't dim the display too much in the dark. The audio without headphones or a bluetooth speaker while not the quality you get with those is loud enough without them I can't comment on the battery life at this time since I just got the phone along with an included fast charger brick and cable. Charged it when I got it and again during the update to 12.0 x 4.0, So in the less than three days that I have had the phone it has done heavy work on two of those days which obviously affects the battery drainage. As far as the in display fingerprint scanner goes. I knew before hand that it has gotten a lot of unfavorable reviews. I am using it regulary even to open apps. To wake the phone tap once to bring up the location of the scanner, then place your finger on that spot. It works fine though it is a bitt slow. You have to hold your finger on the scanner for a couple of seconds before it opens up whatever. I expect the battery will be fine since the phone is less than a year old and how many charges can one do in less than a year? As the phones sytems softwarew learns and tunes itself and with some tweaks I imagine the battery life will be more than good enough. One last thing. The A52 5G though it has the same display size 6.5" as the A12 is lighter and narrower than the A12. I have small hands and it is a comfortable fit. I can't speak about one haned use since I have never used only one hand on any of my phones. Hold the phone tight and secure from dropping it with my left and and operate it with my right hand.

The stupid Amazon AI search said that "yes, customers are all saying in the reviews that this will work on Xfinity Mobile." I have Xfinity and am replacing an A52 that I previously purchased from Xfinity, so I know the A52 is compatible with the network. THIS WILL NOT WORK ON XFINITY. I have call and text, but no data. I even had them send a replacement phone to be sure it wasn't a problem with the device. Xfinity even sent me a replacement SIM and it won't work. This is ridiculous. I need my phone to be able to do my job and the false promises was given by the seller cost me a lot of time. The device otherwise works, but the screen is not OEM quality.

I wanted it to work so bad the screen is so stunning with vivid mode on but since I got it which was from 8 a.m til now it’s 5:37 pm now, it’s BEEN charging and is sadly still on 7% I can’t keep it. And it’s not my charger I tried my grandpas, my other one and the original one in the box. The item moved from 2 stars to 4, because even though there was initially problems with me charging, most chargers are faulty still, but the computer turbo charger I have, it will charge the phone, so I just use that. I'm not sure if I'm going to return it still. It is a well-optimized phone, and it's running nicely. I just didn't appreciate that when I got the phone, the battery life was about 2 hours. I had to look up on Reddit how to extend the battery life, and I got 7 to 9 hours out of it, but I'm not sure if that's the company's fault, I don't think it is, but I've always liked phones with really long battery life, but because I can get around 7 to 9 hours depending on how I use the phone, aka mostly having to have the brightness at 10% at all times, and then I can stretch it. So overall not a bad buy. With consistent use the last about four hours and a half, five max It’s still a great phone but it never stayed alive past overnight no matter the percentage. Screen also breaks incredibly easy like it’s some kind of plastic. I had to return fortunately and unfortunately because the phone wasn’t all bad but it wasn’t good . If you don’t mind your phone dying around 5 hours n a nice vivid display this is for you . If you like battery go ahead and keep looking..

Si es un buen producto pero necesario verificar los operadores del sistema para que sea compatible y pueda funcionar adecuadamente.

Llegó sin el componente donde se inserta la SIM y traia defecto en la batería. El teléfono no se cargaba hasta después de 7 hrs aún con cargador original.

Esta muy impecable es como si fuera nuevo funciona perfecto con at&t muy recomendable saludos

Todo bien el producto, solo que no me aplicó lo de a meses sin intereses y ahora lo tengo que pagar en una sola exhibición :(

Compre este celular como regalo para mi mamá y ya lleva casi un año con el, le ha funcionado muy bien, no se le traba, lo unico es que la vida de la bateria si se ve afectada muy rapido.
