Samsung Electronics is preparing to release new representatives of the low-cost Galaxy A series of smartphones – Samsung Galaxy A52 and Galaxy A72.
Yesterday in the network there was information about the prices of future new devices, and now the Galaxy A72 appeared on the official Samsung website.
For a smartphone with model number SM-A725F / DS, a separate page was opened on the Samsung technical support website. This confirms the imminent debut of the smartphone. The model number indicates that it is a 4G version of the Galaxy A72 without 5G support.
According to preliminary data, the 4G version of the Samsung Galaxy A72 received the Snapdragon 720G SoC, and the 5G version – the Snapdragon 750G. The smartphone is equipped with a 6.7-inch AMOLED screen with Full HD + resolution and a quadruple main camera with 64 megapixel, 12 megapixel, 5 megapixel and 5 megapixel sensors. Prices are expected to start at 449 euros (about $545) for the 4G version with 6 GB of RAM and 128 GB of internal flash memory.
A look at the design and dimensions of the upcoming Galaxy A72
The Samsung Galaxy A72 smartphone should become the new model of the Galaxy A line in 2021. Even before the announcement, we had the opportunity to evaluate its design and dimensions thanks to the precise layout used by cover manufacturers.
A large block of the main camera catches the eye, where we see as many as five holes, and one of them should be reserved for the LED flash. The volume rocker and the power button are located on the right side of the case, while the left side is not occupied with anything.
The bottom panel houses a loudspeaker grill, a USB-C connector, a microphone hole, and a 3.5mm headphone jack, which is not often found in modern smartphones.
The Samsung Galaxy A72 should receive a Qualcomm Snapdragon 720 SoC and 6/8 GB of RAM. The main camera sensor will have a resolution of 64MP and the screen will be 6.7-inches.
The presentation of the smartphone is expected later this month.

Samsung Galaxy A72 4G launch seems to be imminent
Samsung is gearing up to launch the first devices of its 2021 range of mid-range smartphones. The company keeps achieving good numbers from its Galaxy A and M-series, for the next year it wants to keep the domain of certain markets. Apparently, the rumored Galaxy A72 4G is very close to a release. Recently, the device passed by the GeekBench benchmark platform. It revealed the presence of a Qualcomm Snapdragon 720G chipset, rather than an Exynos chip. Later, the very same handset passed by India’s Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) certification. It suggests an imminent release.
The device passed by BIS certification with SM-A725F/DS model number, based on the previous report, this is the 4G variant. The handset with 5G connectivity bears model number SM-A726B. Samsung seems to be very keen on this strategy of two variants with 4G or 5G. We can understand if the price of 4G comes at a lower range. However, this goes against the strategy adopted by Chinese companies of forcing the 5G smartphone shipments even in countries that lack 5G networks.
