Samsung has added another high-performance smartphone to its Galaxy A series. The series has already become known worldwide for presenting some top-end smartphones to users. The added latest model is A72. It has, like all other phones of the series, stimulated people’s attention. On its surface, the phone is a combination of a selected few Galaxy phones like A52, A71, and several others from the Galaxy S series. However, the endeavour becomes praiseworthy because of the Galaxy A72’s comparatively low price. Keep on reading this Samsung Galaxy A72 review, if you are curious about a smartphone and want to know is it really worth it for its price.
Key Features of Samsung Galaxy A72
Design
Among all the other features of A72, its design has made it stand out from mainstay glass and metal tradition. The Samsung Galaxy A72 features attractive candy-like colour schemes. In addition, the phone shows delicacy in detailed finishing. It will be a delight to hold the phone in hand.
The A72 is made of polycarbonate, while the mid-frame is metal. Just like the A52. The back of the phone is plastic made. But the matte textured back can hide this fact giving a metal look. The only reason for Samsung to use a plastic body is to check for any further weight gain. Because with even the plastic body, A72 weights 203g.
The candy-light colour brings a fresh feel to the overall look of the phone. The camera bump on the back has verisimilitude with the ones from Galaxy S21 series. However, the bump is not too steep and don’t look unnatural. The cameral holding rings are well furnished and give a somewhat visual flair. The pastel paint colour work gives an artistic tone.
The power, as well as the volume buttons, are placed on the right side of the phone, the sim tray is on top of the phone, while the primary speaker, as well as a 3.5 mm jack, are at the bottom-placed on either side of a type-C USB port.

Display
Like its peer A52, A72 has a 6.7-inch display. It is a full HD with a resolution of 2400×1800 and 800 nits of brightness. When it comes to customizability, the phone gives only two options. Users can choose from Natural or Vivid colour modes. They can also tweak the white balance.
The newly implemented 90HZ AMOLED display is arguably the biggest change made by Samsung this year. With such a higher refresh rate, manoeuvring feels smooth on the phone.

Camera
Just like the Galaxy A52, the Samsung Galaxy A72 has four rear cameras and one secondary camera on the front. The four rear cameras include a primary camera of 64MP, an ultrawide 12MP angle 12MP camera, and an 8MP telephoto camera along with a 5MP macro camera. The secondary front camera is 32 MP. A72 just replaces the 5MP telephoto camera of A52.
The camera performance of the Samsung Galaxy A72 is much like those of the Galaxy 52. It comes with enabled OIS, which satisfies the snapping experience. Both phones deliver similar results, though. In daylight, the phone takes less time to focus. Even in indoor condition, all cameras show quick response. The credit goes to the OIS feature. The colour restoration is more accurate in daylight and other places with good lighting condition.

Performance
Galaxy A72 incorporates Snapdragon 720G. This version of the Snapdragon comprises 2 Kryo 465 Gold cores. The maximum clock speed of these processors is 2.3 GHz. The other 6 Kryo 465 silver cores have up to 1.8GHz clock speed.
To process the graphics, A72 uses the Adreno 618 GUI. Many features are common with the A52 features. But higher Ram and Storage capacities, Samsung Galaxy A72 perform better. The phone introduces two variants. One is of 6GB RAM with 128GB memory, and of 8GB RAM with 256GB ROM.
Samsung Galaxy A72 is i67 qualified. That means the phone is completely water and dust protected.

Battery and Charging
Galaxy A72 comes with a 5000 mAh battery, which is definitely an upgrade from its sibling A52, which has a 4,500 mAh battery. But they both show similar endurance lasting over a day and a half with mild to heavy use. It should be the A72’s 0.2” larger screen that is making the difference.
If considered without drawing any line or comparison, the battery performance won’t let anybody down. Regular users are already praising the battery life offered. Another mentionable aspect is the phone has a 90Hz refresh rate. It lets users enjoy all the best features without worrying about battery life.
The charger is 25W and takes around one and a half hour to charge the phone from 0 to 100%.
