Samsung Galaxy A72 review ;;

Samsung is promising superb camera performance, a big battery, and stylish design, 

The Galaxy A series typically tries to offer the premium features, but at a more mid-range price in comparison to the flagship s series. With the Galaxy A72, Samsung is promising that this smartphone has the best camera ever in this price range, and big battery, and a stylish design. 

The Galaxy A72 comes with the Qualcomm Snapdragon 720 processor, instead of the Exynos one as seen most on Samsung smartphones.  It starts at the range of 34,999 for the 8GB+128GB model, and the 256GB storage is an optional price of 37,999. 

Samsung Galaxy A72 review

What good …?

This is the best design stylish phone with a sleek that is comfortable to hold.  The camera bump is slightly bigger but nothing to worry about it other phone camera bumps compare to this mobile are not much bigger.  The awesome violet color I got for review is quite muted.

This mobile has a polycarbonate back, and while it doesn’t feel cheap,  this phone has IP67 water resistance, which is good to ease and ensures some level of protection.

The phone has a 6.7-inch HD+ Super AMOLED infinity o display with a 90Hz refresh rate. Samsung hasn’t added a higher refresh rate 120Hz display, which some other phones in this price segment are offering. The display is still top-notch, and I had the higher refresh rate turned on during my daily usage. It is a good screen for consuming content,.This phone have a very bright display, when you come in the sunlight you can see the content on the screen.

This phone comes with the Qualcomm Snapdragon 720G chipset with 8GB RAM. I have a 128GB storage variant for review. The phone might not fastest in this price range. but it is good for daily users.

The camera performance in low light is quite impressive, especially when you have a good light source somewhere close by. The pictures have ample details and color range in Night mode as well. In very poor lighting, the camera really struggles to maintain focus, but this is a limitation of almost all smartphone cameras that are not flagships.

The Galaxy A72 also comes with 4X, 10X, 20X, and 30X zoom options for those who like to get really close to the objects they shoot. I found the 4X and 10X options are the most reliable when it came to preserving details. If you are shooting at 20X and 30X, you will require a really steady hand and perhaps a tripod to ensure that the object stays in focus. The results were too pixelated at such high zoom levels.

Samsung Galaxy A72: What’s not so good?

I found the macro camera to be quite underwhelming. No amount of staying steady could get the focus right when using this option on the Galaxy A72. Another issue would be how the camera handles rich colors such as pink. Pink flowers such as bougainvilleas look really over-processed and unnatural on the phone. This is an issue around the skin tones which have a heavy pink undertone too.

The camera also takes a few extra seconds to process and show the final picture, which is not expected at this price point.

The other major issue I faced on the Galaxy A72 was around the in-display fingerprint scanner. At times, it just would not work, and I would have to rely on the pin to unlock the device.

Samsung Galaxy A72: Should you buy?

The Galaxy A72 is aimed at those who have a budget of higher than Rs 35,000, and want a phone with a good camera. The phone is also more affordable compared to other mid-range flagships such as the vivo X60 (Rs 39,990), and OnePlus 9R (Rs 39,999). However, the recently launched Mi 11X costs Rs 29,999 and undercuts the A72 in pricing.
