I thought the same until I found out they make 3.5mm to type-C cords. I have no idea how it works, but you can still use an aux cord in your car but you plug the other end into your charging port instead of a separate jack. So I guess if you want to charge and listen to music at the same time you can't, but otherwise it really isn't a big deal.
This was a really great comprehensive review! The S20 FE definitely sounds like the winner but I can't give my headphone jack up. On that topic, I really hate that phone manufacturers are moving away from including them. While I agree it is nice to have the option of cordfree earbuds or phones, it is also super irritating for it to be yet another thing to be charged and if you run out of battery on your headphones then you are just out of luck. I really wish they would keep manufacturing headphone jacks. EDIT: I don't know if anyone will see this but I ended up buying a renewed Samsung Galaxy S10 Plus which has a headphone jack and really good specs for $550 from Samsung! I love it (so much space!!!), but definitely recommend buying straight from Samsung as third-party resellers might not be on the up and up.
I agree, really frustrating so many carriers are moving away from it! This is the reason I haven't got any of the S series phones. I'm struggling between these 2 for sure. I know they have an adapter that you use to plug into the USB C port so we can still use wired headphones. Just stupid these companies can't just include them.
1000% agree and this weigh in a lot on what phone I will choose to buy. It really sucks that they don't put that on every phone. Also I use the jack in my car as I don't have Bluetooth and don't want to buy a special device for it.
Just upgraded to the A52 from my 6yr old Galaxy S7(which is a bulletproof phone) and WOW!!...almost picked up a S21,but not a fan of NO SD CARD support...paid 400 for mine and so far,so good...build quality is on point too...cameras are on par with flagship models,despite what other reviews may say....A52 5G is a great phone
@@theme6590 that's exactly the same way I looked at it...imo the only thing the s21 has,is a better camera...but im not a professional photographer, so it does the job just fine and see no difference in comparison to my wifes S21...battery life is really good too...im averaging 36-48hrs between charges...and that's with some heavy use and a shitload of apps running in the background.....now,there is an upgraded a52 5g thats branded as an "A52s",that does have a better processor and graphics chip and its only $40 more than the regular 52 5g,but,I can't find it advertised anywhere....it has reviews and is already released though,so if you can find that model,IMO its worth the few extra dollars...look up A52s and you'll see what i mean
@@mikekopisz1227 Yes the a52s is slightly better.. I too am looking for a new phone and that is an option but I'm gonna be honest with you.. I want something different I have a samsung.. I saw the HONOR 50 today and it looked awesome but it's kinda pricey.. iphone is amazing but also pricey .. I just don't know.. I feel like the S20fe is a flagship phone for a reason.. but the a52s is a beast as well..
Haha same. I came from S7 since 2015 and upgraded to a52 5G just this last year of december 2022. Very worth it upgrade with that headphone jack and sd card slot
Yeah I'm still not getting why the 3.5mm jack is disappearing. I love wireless earphones or headphones. But there's just something better about having that analog connection that makes it better.
@@malystxy5601 And the ever increasing devices that we have to charge to use, compared to the good old wires. Seems trivial, until you realize how often they let you down. It just adds up. Also, a good pair of earphones with wires, will last much longer than the wireless earphones, because it outlasts the battery life.

You can get a $10 Apple USB type C dongle which will give for a phone very good performance though I guess the Quad DAC setup of the LG phone may have been better but yeah there's very limited ones which have been better than that.
We also have to keep in mind that the apps are also probably more optimised on the s20fe than on the a52 because one as mentioned is pretty much a flagship phone.
I love the A 52 5G version. Nice phone for less money. Samsung is the best. And I would pick the A 52 5G because the battery life is better than the S-Series.
@@cozypolar7307 The note 10 and 9 are definitely better, they're still both flagship phones even if it's outdated. The note 10 especially is considerably better than the A52 5G, and this is coming from someone who currently owns an A52. If you want a newer phone with a cheaper price then go for the A52, but if you don't particularly care about whether a phone is new or not and only care about performance, I would say Note 10.
thanks for the review i enjoyed watching. :) i'm leaning more into the S20Fe because mainly for its IP68 rating. And plus points that it comes from the S series. However, this midrange phone, A52 is a really great competitor.
Nobody really plans on submerging there phones in water as the first thing to do when they get it. IP ratings aren't a reason to pick a phone over another. But Fe is probably still the better choice.
The determining factor for me, is the processor. The S20 FE has the 800-series Qualcomm chipset which has better performance AND, probably even more important, better support. Phones which don't have the series 800 chips don't age too gracefully. That said, I think it's worth spending a little more and getting the S20 FE. You'll probably end up keeping it longer which will save you money in the long run.
idk i have the a52 5g and ive had no issues with the speed at all.. and i paid 350 brand new.. so id say its worth the price at that price even if you have to upgrade every 2 years insted of 3 its still worth it
@@whitegoodman7465 i have the a52 5g and its op[timized perfectly.. i sold my iphone 12 pro max because i am boycotting apple now.. and i didnt want to jump right into an android flagship until i got used to android.. and the a52 5g is just as fast as the iPhone 12 pro max and everyone knows apple has the fastiest cpu in the game
If I was buying outright, I'd go for the A52 just because it's considerably cheaper where I live, but if I was going on a plan with repayments I'd look at the S20 FE. Having said that, I'm sure an S21 FE will be announced in a few weeks, so there will either be launch deals for that device and the S20 FE will get cheaper until it's discontinued.
The last phone I bought was the Galaxy S5 and I am going to buy an A52 5G tomorrow, if they are out of stock I'm gonna blame it on you LOL. It took me a solid three days researching phones to figure out which one I wanted, I love the Galaxy S Line but not having a headphone jack was a dealbreaker for me. I tried to find the A52 non-5G but did not want to take a gamble not having a warranty and possibly limited features, updates, and support on AT&T's network. The promo with the 5G version makes it so that you pay $5 more each month for 30 months making it cheaper in the long run than the non-5G version. Not to get into a major 5G sub6 and millimeterwave discussion here but it is what it is. I decided on the A52 last night and to me it's the best bang for the buck right now. Compared to all the hundreds of videos I've been looking at on UA-cam you and only a few other people know what you're talking about. Keep it up brother and thank you for this video!
@@jeffj318 I may have to do that when I switch to iphone, I've had nothing but problems with my A52, the Wi-Fi receiver in this thing actually sucks , I released a video comparing it to my old Galaxy S5 and also the Samsung doze function is so stupid, you have to shell into the phone via usb debugging and disable it otherwise you will miss email notifications for up to 45 minutes even with battery optimization turned off.
i wanted to get s20 fe, but here in my country they only sell the exynos version and it has couples issues like battery drain so fast and heat a lot. And the gap price between the A52 is huge here. So i'm choosing a52, and i'm happy. So snappy and smooth for my daily use.
Samsung fixed the heating issue with the last update Battery lasts around 4 and half hours with 120 HZ on So kinda average But a52 may be a better pick
Yeah i have a 4G with exynos chip and I must say it has lasted longer than i thought, with a general day use on 120hz the battery has lasted for more than half a day(in which id had started charging after 6pm and battery was at 32%) and this includes playing a couple of games. So all in all im more than happy with my choice.
i picked up my a52 5g for only $200. amazing upgrade from my redmi note 7. that headphone jack not being there is such a huge deal breaker for me. i use wired earphones for gaming on my pc and its easy to just replug straight into my phone afterwards. don't wanna waste money buying bluetooth earbuds. The a52 is such a beast for its price. the performance is top notch.
right now the A52 is 500 and S20FE is 360. BUT, I have read a lot about S20FE having screen issues. ghost taps, confusing taps and swipes and other issues. They have tried to fix it like 4 times since introduced. Can't believe this is not mentioned anywhere on video or in comments.
I'd actually get the S Version of the A52 5G because it's the same price as the normal A52 5G in my country and it's much faster, comparable to an S8+/S9 in performance thanks to the SD778G
People choosing for the A52s 5G just cuz of 3.5mm jack.. seriously? Budget wise, I'll understand, but just for headphones you gonna pass the superior specs and camera and leave the S20 FE? Okeh.... Lol
@@Afsaaar1 I'm still on galaxy s3 lool not joking. I just use it for texts and calls. I think I am ready to upgrade now and join the social media generation lool
Hubby just ordered the A52 and I just ordered the S20 FE. He's coming from S7 and me, the S7 Edge. We are looking forward to getting these 2 phones. Thank you for the excellent reviews and comparisons!
Cool! I have the S7 and I'm debating b/t A52 or S20 FE... Or even the A51, but I hate its not water resistant. Let me know how you guys like your new phones
Through my carrier in Canada with a return customer device discount, I was able to get the A52 5g for 380 Canadian (~315 USD) or the S20 FE for 480 Canadian (~395 USD). Although the headphone port would've been really nice, I grabbed the S20 FE in mint because I usually keep my phone for 2-3 years and the extra power from the 865 will definitely be nice long term. The red wasn't in stock, but your videos helped me pick between my next favourites the mint and the orange, can't wait to see the mint in person when it gets here this week!
I have bought both of them. They are same good when it comes to speed. The camera configuration of the S20 FE seems better, however, the A52 has a headphone jack. There is no difference in screen, bur I noticed the screen of A52 seems to be more solid. Otherwise, performance is good in both phones. Depends what you want. If you need the headphone jack go for A52. It is good value for money. If you want to zoom a lot on photos go for S20 FE. Otherwise when playing heavy games you will not mention much difference. The 120 Hz refresh rate in both phones makes marvels there.
How are they now after several months . I have a samsung a52 5g and it stutters alot and youtube does the same . Had the 52 5g for over a year now and looking to get rid as there are annoying issues weekly
@@gamingtherapy7587 I've heard this a lot. In other comparisons I've watched, ppl say that the S20 is better at long term also. It doesn't lose performance I've read.
I chose the Samsung a52 5g. It’s a newer phone and in the coming weeks and months it’ll be a greater value as prices fall. Specs are great for the price and it will sell crazy well like previous a series phones . Those looking at the Samsung s20 fe would be better off waiting for its replacement the s21 fe or whatever it’s called due to get released soon. Both are great phones however and are worth your money IMO.
*TechDaily* A52s 5G vs S21 FE. Both have rumored release dates of September 3rd and 8th respectively. If true, that would be a killer video, if you felt so inclined to produce it. The revised A52s will come with the Snapdragon 778G 5G having approximate geekbench single and multicore scores of 775 / 2877. The S21 5G has approximate scores of 906 / 3021, which is within throwing distance of the 778G 5G. This is of course assuming that Samsung hasn't opted to instead use the Exynos SoC in the US market on the S21 FE. This is just a topic off the top of my head that I thought you might want to consider. Thanks for all the content.
i have an iphone 6 plus and im so sick of not having the newest ios and the best screen...dark mode is also a really big want for me...and the camera isnt the best.... the a52 keeps getting better and better in my eyes...! and also i kind of miss the idea of costumization....but there are two things that i feel ill miss the most about the iphone and these the emojis and imessage...:( i wish emojis were the same in any device...xD
@@justakid9899 yes but that only changes the appearance on my phone... not in general thats my concern that ill put my emoji on insta and its gonna look ugly xD i still dont get why they are different and not the same universally
Hello. Which one should I buy now? I can get A52s for 315 and S20FE for 400. I am not sure if S20FE would turn back after no software update. Need help, please.
Thank you, this comparison just saved me hours of googling I bet! I'd be curious about if there's a difference in phone call quality, like voice clarity. Leaning towards a refurbished s20 fe.. got to try the cameras at best buy and the zoom on the fe is niiiicce.
The decider here would be the price difference and the 3.5mm headphone jack. SD750g is more than enough for day to day usage and the image processing can be easily improved through a Gcam mod given the A52 has got decent camera hardware. If the price difference is more than 100 dollars , then definitely A52
In our country you can only get exynos s20fe for a round $800, I managed to find it for around $550 in one shop.. in that situation I think a52 5g is better buy.. I got regular a52 with 256/8gb + free Galaxy Buds Plus for around $450
@@KonkaniHits In Croatia.. tech stuff is almost always more expensive here so to find something for same price as in US is already a great deal.. Samsung probably targets the A series for our region so that's probably why we have those deals
@@LovroSabljak okay thanks for replying. I live in Canada , prices aren't so bad but we usually drive south to do our shopping in the US. With the border closed that's not possible. I'm getting the same deal as you but no Galaxy buds

Hardly you hear any issue with Samsung users all are happy.
@@rishabhranjan9623 no problem , choose wisely, once i took wrong decision and bought oppo flagship phone and had to bear loss in mone month i switched to Samsung. 🙂
I have both and I have to say.. unless you don't care about spending the extra money, get the A52 5G. It's so good you won't feel like you're missing out.
Bought the S20 fe 5g uw because the A52 5g does not have wireless charging that was a deal breaker for me. Even though the A52 has a better camera which is important I always have problem with Samsung charging ports going out on me so wireless charging is a must.
Please talk about more minute things, such as call quality, haptic feedback and heating. These are of course very fine details that not everyone cares about, but it's there, so why not mention it for those who care? Also, please compare these Samsung mid rangers to some Xiaomi devices as well. For example, the Mi 11X/Poco F3 is a very good value phone for just about $400.
I'll give you my opinion on it as I have both of these phones. Neither one really heats up at all except for extended gaming they both got slightly warm playing wild rift for about 30 minutes. The haptics are much weaker in the A52 but they also aren't iphone level on the FE.
I'm just gonna hope that my a50 (not really a good phone in the a5 line) holds up another year and the a52 5g gets considerably cheaper by then. Because even tho the 52 seems pretty decent, it's not worth the 500 bucks. I paid slightly over half for my a50 and they're pretty much the same phone considering the tech level of the time then and now. More framerate and 5g is not worth ~200 bucks extra. If it came with wireless charging, I might not argue about the current new price.
But as long as the s20fe doesn't come to the same price as the a52, it's not worth the extra 100 bucks imo. That little boost in cpu power will be as unnoticable as the microscratches on a smudged screen
@@astralinfinite9995 let see at full charge I guess you can say your results may vary generally though it lasts all day also it depends on how much you watch UA-cam as for browsing all day no question 😁 sometimes I don't have to charge it for 2 days but yeah it's a champ at everything 😁 but for UA-cam and browsing it will last all day
@@Vivacristo64 cool your making an amazing choice switching from the a20 the a series in general actually I once owned a a50 it was the worst experience of my life and I regretted it ever since but now I have the s20fe best experience of my life😁 also because of the huge increase in ram and a new processor your gonna feel a really big difference in power and also battery life
I know this is an old video, I have the A52, and am waiting on the s20fe to be delivered, purchased on Prime day 2022. I got my husbands s20fe on prime day 2021 for $379, and paid $419 this year for the same phone. The headphone jack is important to me too, but I ordered a usb c to 3.5 headphone jack, lets see how that works. I have Bluetooth headphones, but I prefer the corded ones. The reason I purchased this phone? It's because of your videos ( even a more recent one 2 months ago) saying it is still one of the best phones you can own in 2022. Thank you for your reviews!
If it wasn't for the lack of video stability in 4K and 1080p 60fps on the A52 which I hope Samsung will fix soon I would say it's the better choice. I don't own the 5g version of the S20 FE just the 4g variant and the RAM management is bad.
@Lars Reintjes I think it depends on the game. I have to do more testing not a big gamer myself. However bare in mind these are not gaming phones so don't expect them to be lag free
@@emiliojavier8268 Well, I'm on the May security patch and nothing has changed unfortunately so losing a little bit of hope now. What Gcam are you using?
So is the S20 FE camera just as good as the A52 5G? I cannot decide which phone I want. The camera is important to me as I have a son in sports and such and take a lot of pics. I like that it has better performance, but am I losing camera quality if I get the S20 FE?
@@TechDaily thank you. I had a busy day since I was at universal studios to ride the new VelociCoaster at islands of adventure. For a pass holder preview .
If you get the A52s to review, mind doing A52s 5G vs S20 FE next? Trying to decide what's better between an 8+128GB S20 FE for around USD552 (USD522 until the end of October) and an 8+256GB A20s 5G for around USD493 (8+128GB is at USD453) and I'm looking for some perspective. Prices are converted to USD from my local currency. Not in a rush tho, just thinking about swapping out my current phone in the [relatively near?] future and those two are the attractive choices for me so far.
I wanted the samsung at first but Metro by Tmobile said they weren't getting it in ever even though it was on their site. The A52 5G was my next choice but they wanted 399 plus all other costs for our upgrade each. My son gave my husband and I free A32's 5 G for Mother's day. They're fine for now. Can't argue with free! Your video made me want the S20 FE again.
Only the S20 FE has a metal frame here. A52s have a plastic frame (which difference is clearly visible at the antenna solution even in this video). Both have Gorilla glass fronts and plastic backs.
Well to me though, it's really not much of a tough choice, the S20 is the better option, for the money. Far Better Cameras Far Better Chipset Flagship Exclusive features such as DeX, aluminum frame,UFS 3.1 storage type, wireless & reverse wireless charge,etc. And yet, they practically are same price on Amazon
Please help me decide which one to buy either s20 FE or a73? I don't care about the price and other features I just want to know which one is better in camera and gaming. Thanks!

Go into the developers options and drop down the animations .5. That'll help speed up the phone for sure, there's a lot of other little tweaks that you could do long the way get rid of a lot of the bloat that comes loaded on the phone. I have the A32 5G and did the same thing and it runs amazing I'm thinking about jumping up to the 52 or the 20 or 21 I can't make up my mind. Right now Metro is having a ridiculous deal on the A52 I might wind up going with that though.
@@m_onde_r I wound up getting the A53 it's eh I think when 13 drops it will fix some shit that's wrong.

My 32 was 508 single over 1676 mult. So the A53 should be somewhere around 2500ish on the multi says 🖖 and crypto scores which sounds correct.

I am sorry I didn't see this review sooner. I would have preferred the S20 fe but I already bought the 52s 5g which has basically the same camera like the A52 5Gg.
just got the s20 fe and honestly money well spent. no hiccups so far. wireless charge is a plus. I don't know about yall but my charger port has messed up in the past
I went with the S20 FE over the A52, because the A52 doesn’t support Samsung Dex. I’m gonna be using the phone for playing emulators, and with Dex, it’s basically a Nintendo Switch, because you can dock it to a TV.
Still a toss up for me. My only disappointment with the S20 FE is no jack. I usually listen to music or watch UA-cam videos waiting in line at the bank or when I got both Covid jabs. Looks like the A52 5G with the jack is an option.
@@tb124.gaming I personally like the galaxy buds less because I could easily lose them and anyway and sometimes it came out of my ears But they are practical as discreet headphones in public. I have always preferred the classic wired headphones from apple
This may sound silly, but the S20 FE is a better choice camera wise. More cameras and more MP does not mean better photos. I’d choose 8mp telephoto over a 64mp main camera
3.5 mm jack just makes a lot of difference to me.

I thought the same until I found out they make 3.5mm to type-C cords.

On that topic, I really hate that phone manufacturers are moving away from including them.

Haha same. I came from S7 since 2015 and upgraded to a52 5G just this last year of december 2022. Very worth it upgrade with that headphone jack and sd card slot

So true
Yeah I'm still not getting why the 3.5mm jack is disappearing. I love wireless earphones or headphones. But there's just something better about having that analog connection that makes it better.
Not to mention cheap wired headphones have better sound that mid range wireless
@@malystxy5601 And the ever increasing devices that we have to charge to use, compared to the good old wires.
Seems trivial, until you realize how often they let you down. It just adds up. Also, a good pair of earphones with wires, will last much longer than the wireless earphones, because it outlasts the battery life.
You can get a $10 Apple USB type C dongle which will give for a phone very good performance though I guess the Quad DAC setup of the LG phone may have been better but yeah there's very limited ones which have been better than that.
Also it's harder to lose wired earphones 😭
Money pure and simple. Without the jack you could be encouraged to buy wireless earphones, preferably their own, hence more profit for them.
Nice one Wade. Love Samsung. Got the S21. But the development of the mid range is exciting to see.
Got the s21 ultra😏
S 20fe aint midrange....
@@hisokamorow877 probably an entry level flagship.
@@hisokamorow877 he was talking about the A52
Would you say the s21 is worth it and did you get it second hand or from samsung
We also have to keep in mind that the apps are also probably more optimised on the s20fe than on the a52 because one as mentioned is pretty much a flagship phone.
I love the A 52 5G version. Nice phone for less money. Samsung is the best. And I would pick the A 52 5G because the battery life is better than the S-Series.
Would you think a52 5g would be better than note 9 and 10?
@@cozypolar7307 The note 10 and 9 are definitely better, they're still both flagship phones even if it's outdated. The note 10 especially is considerably better than the A52 5G, and this is coming from someone who currently owns an A52.
If you want a newer phone with a cheaper price then go for the A52, but if you don't particularly care about whether a phone is new or not and only care about performance, I would say Note 10.
thanks for the review i enjoyed watching. :) i'm leaning more into the S20Fe because mainly for its IP68 rating. And plus points that it comes from the S series. However, this midrange phone, A52 is a really great competitor.
its the flagship chipset Snapdragon 865 on the S20 fe 5g that would make you want this phone over the A52
Nobody really plans on submerging there phones in water as the first thing to do when they get it. IP ratings aren't a reason to pick a phone over another. But Fe is probably still the better choice.
The determining factor for me, is the processor. The S20 FE has the 800-series Qualcomm chipset which has better performance AND, probably even more important, better support. Phones which don't have the series 800 chips don't age too gracefully. That said, I think it's worth spending a little more and getting the S20 FE. You'll probably end up keeping it longer which will save you money in the long run.
The camera setup is also better
Yeh i heard the A series models dont have the best optimization.
@@whitegoodman7465 also as i heard, A series lack some features from S series
idk i have the a52 5g and ive had no issues with the speed at all.. and i paid 350 brand new.. so id say its worth the price at that price even if you have to upgrade every 2 years insted of 3 its still worth it
@@whitegoodman7465 i have the a52 5g and its op[timized perfectly.. i sold my iphone 12 pro max because i am boycotting apple now.. and i didnt want to jump right into an android flagship until i got used to android.. and the a52 5g is just as fast as the iPhone 12 pro max and everyone knows apple has the fastiest cpu in the game
If I was buying outright, I'd go for the A52 just because it's considerably cheaper where I live, but if I was going on a plan with repayments I'd look at the S20 FE. Having said that, I'm sure an S21 FE will be announced in a few weeks, so there will either be launch deals for that device and the S20 FE will get cheaper until it's discontinued.
The last phone I bought was the Galaxy S5 and I am going to buy an A52 5G tomorrow, if they are out of stock I'm gonna blame it on you LOL. It took me a solid three days researching phones to figure out which one I wanted, I love the Galaxy S Line but not having a headphone jack was a dealbreaker for me. I tried to find the A52 non-5G but did not want to take a gamble not having a warranty and possibly limited features, updates, and support on AT&T's network. The promo with the 5G version makes it so that you pay $5 more each month for 30 months making it cheaper in the long run than the non-5G version. Not to get into a major 5G sub6 and millimeterwave discussion here but it is what it is. I decided on the A52 last night and to me it's the best bang for the buck right now. Compared to all the hundreds of videos I've been looking at on UA-cam you and only a few other people know what you're talking about. Keep it up brother and thank you for this video!

i wanted to get s20 fe, but here in my country they only sell the exynos version and it has couples issues like battery drain so fast and heat a lot. And the gap price between the A52 is huge here. So i'm choosing a52, and i'm happy. So snappy and smooth for my daily use.

So all in all im more than happy with my choice.
i picked up my a52 5g for only $200. amazing upgrade from my redmi note 7. that headphone jack not being there is such a huge deal breaker for me. i use wired earphones for gaming on my pc and its easy to just replug straight into my phone afterwards. don't wanna waste money buying bluetooth earbuds. The a52 is such a beast for its price. the performance is top notch.

Nice comparison I went with the OnePlus 9 but between these 2 I would pick S20 fe all day
Isn't the OnePlus 8 Pro meant to be a better phone than the 9?
right now the A52 is 500 and S20FE is 360. BUT, I have read a lot about S20FE having screen issues. ghost taps, confusing taps and swipes and other issues. They have tried to fix it like 4 times since introduced. Can't believe this is not mentioned anywhere on video or in comments.
I was considering between these two phones and That's news to me. Thanks mate
I'd actually get the S Version of the A52 5G because it's the same price as the normal A52 5G in my country and it's much faster, comparable to an S8+/S9 in performance thanks to the SD778G
High end midrange meets flagship calibre vs flagship phone itself. A lot of people are taking advantage of 'no money wasted'.
People choosing for the A52s 5G just cuz of 3.5mm jack.. seriously? Budget wise, I'll understand, but just for headphones you gonna pass the superior specs and camera and leave the S20 FE? Okeh.... Lol

I have bought both of them. They are same good when it comes to speed. The camera configuration of the S20 FE seems better, however, the A52 has a headphone jack. There is no difference in screen, bur I noticed the screen of A52 seems to be more solid. Otherwise, performance is good in both phones. Depends what you want. If you need the headphone jack go for A52. It is good value for money. If you want to zoom a lot on photos go for S20 FE. Otherwise when playing heavy games you will not mention much difference. The 120 Hz refresh rate in both phones makes marvels there.

*TechDaily* A52s 5G vs S21 FE. Both have rumored release dates of September 3rd and 8th respectively. If true, that would be a killer video, if you felt so inclined to produce it. The revised A52s will come with the Snapdragon 778G 5G having approximate geekbench single and multicore scores of 775 / 2877. The S21 5G has approximate scores of 906 / 3021, which is within throwing distance of the 778G 5G. This is of course assuming that Samsung hasn't opted to instead use the Exynos SoC in the US market on the S21 FE. This is just a topic off the top of my head that I thought you might want to consider. Thanks for all the content.

@@ijbeats i would say s20 fe
The decider here would be the price difference and the 3.5mm headphone jack. SD750g is more than enough for day to day usage and the image processing can be easily improved through a Gcam mod given the A52 has got decent camera hardware.
If the price difference is more than 100 dollars , then definitely A52
It is here A52S 5G, the A52 is a lower model without 5G
Nope. Software and camera optimisation is always better on flagship like FE. And the price here on us is the same with FE and A52.

Bought the S20 fe 5g uw because the A52 5g does not have wireless charging that was a deal breaker for me. Even though the A52 has a better camera which is important I always have problem with Samsung charging ports going out on me so wireless charging is a must.
This comment says so much about u.
Nice in-depth review. Showing important points. Unlike many other reviewers who just talk and talk about unnecessary topics.
Please talk about more minute things, such as call quality, haptic feedback and heating. These are of course very fine details that not everyone cares about, but it's there, so why not mention it for those who care?
Also, please compare these Samsung mid rangers to some Xiaomi devices as well. For example, the Mi 11X/Poco F3 is a very good value phone for just about $400.
Mi 11x has the worst camera ever. I used it for a day & sold it nxt day bcoz of pathetic camera quality
Hey bro he is doing his best I like the description tho nice
I'll give you my opinion on it as I have both of these phones. Neither one really heats up at all except for extended gaming they both got slightly warm playing wild rift for about 30 minutes. The haptics are much weaker in the A52 but they also aren't iphone level on the FE.
I'm just gonna hope that my a50 (not really a good phone in the a5 line) holds up another year and the a52 5g gets considerably cheaper by then.
Because even tho the 52 seems pretty decent, it's not worth the 500 bucks. I paid slightly over half for my a50 and they're pretty much the same phone considering the tech level of the time then and now. More framerate and 5g is not worth ~200 bucks extra. If it came with wireless charging, I might not argue about the current new price.
But as long as the s20fe doesn't come to the same price as the a52, it's not worth the extra 100 bucks imo. That little boost in cpu power will be as unnoticable as the microscratches on a smudged screen
These are the two I'm trying to choose from. I was leaning towards the A52, but I'm with Boost, so I think I'll have to change carriers.

Same here.

@@samuelhere41 3 not 2
S20 fe has this lcd line issues popping everywhere. The a52s 5g does not have this manufacturing flaw since it was made past 2021.
my three year old s20 is just fine lol
My 4 yo one is good too.
Excellent comparison!
Myself a 36 years old tech guy doesn't want to spend too much but need flagship that's why I have S20FE and my mother on the other hand not a tech savvy women is very happy with A52 5G.
Go into the developers options and drop down the animations .5. That'll help speed up the phone for sure, there's a lot of other little tweaks that you could do long the way get rid of a lot of the bloat that comes loaded on the phone. I have the A32 5G and did the same thing and it runs amazing I'm thinking about jumping up to the 52 or the 20 or 21 I can't make up my mind. Right now Metro is having a ridiculous deal on the A52 I might wind up going with that though.
I've been on the topic for a while, my advice either the s20 fe or the A52s 5g
the latter is just so good to not get and battery is never a problem
@@m_onde_r I wound up getting the A53 it's eh I think when 13 drops it will fix some shit that's wrong. If not I'm selling it and getting something else.. according to normal CPU pulls from GB5 its pulling mid 700s on single core and the multi core is where it concerns me cause it's lower than my A32. My 32 was 508 single over 1676 mult. So the A53 should be somewhere around 2500ish on the multi says 🖖 and crypto scores which sounds correct. I mean let's be real it's running on 8gs or ram 120 frame refresh rate with 256gs of storage. This shit should move especially I have nothing on it I use old phones for socials and emulators. But we do have to remember that these phones are sold at a budget to get loaded with bloat also it's the matter of finding it and either stopping or uninstal if it allows ya to. I'm not dissatisfied I was just expecting to see a bit higher of a score on GB5, but like I said the new android drops and don't speed up this ish I'm getting something else.
@@m_onde_r tbdh what swayed me to the 53 was the for sure 4 years of android updates up to 16 and for sure 5 years of security patches monthly. That's why I got that over the s20 or 21 but I also wanted that memory card slot which the one of them don't. I only paid 199 the 53 the day it dropped.
@@m_onde_r battery on my 32 and 53 are both 5000mahs so I get 4 5 days of battery life I'm not a heavy user on my phone 24/7. If it wasn't for people to reach me I would most likely not even have a phone, but if I'm going to it's going to,ill be on a Samsung and I think I'll be going back to the note series or the S22U after this. I had every note up to the 5 love that phone.
Best investment, Samsung A52s or Moto Edge 20 Pro ??
Galaxy a52 5g vs samsung s20 fe?? Which one should i buy??
Interesting that today they now cost the same, you can pick up both from Amazon for about $180
I have the S20 FE and it's a great phone. But the antenna I think is somewhat on the weak side compared to my previous Realme XT, which I bought for half the price of the S20 FE.
Do you mean the wifi data signal?
I wish companies don't take out the 3.5 mm jack...
I couldn't record on my mic without being able to listen to a music....
I couldn't get a jack extension that support both 3.5 mm jack n USB
Got myself a Fe 5 256gb with 8gb of ram. It was hard to come by. Can't wait to receive it next week
Damn, TechDaily is handsome! I pictured you as being super skinny and nerdy.
Never judge a book by its cover dude
@@samuelhere41 I'll do what I want.
I am sorry I didn't see this review sooner. I would have preferred the S20 fe but I already bought the 52s 5g which has basically the same camera like the A52 5Gg.
just got the s20 fe and honestly money well spent. no hiccups so far. wireless charge is a plus. I don't know about yall but my charger port has messed up in the past
please do a video about A70 vs A72 and the software performance and problems the A70 has with android 11
I went with the S20 FE over the A52, because the A52 doesn’t support Samsung Dex. I’m gonna be using the phone for playing emulators, and with Dex, it’s basically a Nintendo Switch, because you can dock it to a TV.
Can't beat the Galaxy S20 FE for $250. Just got mine and it's sooooo good
@Vikas Anand yeah. It was on sale at Walmart on Black Friday. I seen ad when I was t work and bought it as soon as the went on sale, had to.
Still a toss up for me. My only disappointment with the S20 FE is no jack. I usually listen to music or watch UA-cam videos waiting in line at the bank or when I got both Covid jabs. Looks like the A52 5G with the jack is an option.
What about Bluetooth? There are a lot of very affordable wireless earphones...
@@tb124.gaming I personally like the galaxy buds less because I could easily lose them and anyway and sometimes it came out of my ears But they are practical as discreet headphones in public. I have always preferred the classic wired headphones from apple
@@tb124.gaming Yes it is available.. but using a bluetooth headphones could drain the battery a bit more compared to wired ones.
UA-cam recommendations are too good, I was watching videos about these 2 phones alot recently and now this video shows up 🙂 good vid
i'll wait for next year, maybe i can get an exynos x amd chip in the a53 if not I guess that's fine. don't need to upgrade now but one more year
The frame is NOT metal!
A52, A72 and A52 5G all have plastic frame and back.
This may sound silly, but the S20 FE is a better choice camera wise. More cameras and more MP does not mean better photos. I’d choose 8mp telephoto over a 64mp main camera
