Samsung unveiled the Galaxy A72 today alongside with the Galaxy A52. There’s no 5G version of the A72, at least not yet. This means you get hardware similar to the 4G version of the A52, including the Snapdragon 720G chipset.
The Samsung Galaxy A72 is a tad larger with a 6.7” display and a 5,000mAh battery. However, the extra size doesn’t add much weight – the phone weighs 203g.
The Super AMOLED display has a 1080p+ resolution and a 90Hz refresh rate. High Brightness Mode is available here too, for those situations that need 800 nits of brightness. There’s an in-display fingerprint reader as well as a 2MP front-facing camera.
The Samsung Galaxy A72 gets an upgraded camera with a 3x telephoto lens. It has an 8 MP sensor, f/2.4 aperture and OIS. The remaining cameras are the same – 64MP main, 12MP ultrawide and 5MP macro (the depth sensor is gone, but we doubt many will miss its presence).
The extra battery capacity on the Samsung Galaxy A72 helps offset the extra power draw of the larger display. You’re still looking at 2-day battery life and 25W fast charging support.
The Samsung Galaxy A72 is launching with One UI 3.1 and as with other Samsung phones they will receive security updates for 4 years and three major OS updates.
The Samsung Galaxy A72 will be available soon, starting at €450/£420. This is for the 6/128GB model, you can also go for the an 8/256GB option (as a reminder, there’s a microSD slot available). Check it out on Samsung.com.
