- In September 2021, the Samsung Galaxy A52s will be released in India.
- The Snapdragon 778G SoC powers the smartphone.
- Earlier this year, the Samsung Galaxy A52s was upgraded to Android 12.
Users of the Samsung Galaxy A52s have allegedly experienced troubles after installing the Android 12 update on the smartphone, including higher battery consumption and problems accepting calls. The Samsung Galaxy A52s smartphone was released last year as the company's most powerful mid-range smartphone, including a Snapdragon 778G CPU, 8GB of RAM, and 128GB of UFS 2.1 storage. The Samsung Galaxy A52s 5G received an Android 12 upgrade early this year, with the company's One UI 4.0 shell on top.
Users have rushed to the Samsung Galaxy forums to report problems with the Android 12 upgrade for the Samsung Galaxy A52s, which was initially reported by SamMobile. Among the forum entries is a recent concern about the handset's battery efficiency after upgrading to Android 12. The individual states that after applying the February security update and rebooting their phone, their battery backup was halved.
Similarly, another user reported a few weeks ago that their Samsung Galaxy A52s screen turns black after swiping to take a call, preventing them from cancelling the conversation without using the power button to wake up the screen. According to the article, the problem appears to arise when the user takes the smartphone out of his or her pocket.
Meanwhile, another user has asked whether it is feasible to continue on Android 11 while receiving security upgrades, in light of the problems seen by other users. According to the SamMobile report, customers are experiencing performance difficulties on the Galaxy A52s 5G device after installing the Android 12 upgrade, such as sluggish interface animations and jerky scrolling. Gadgets 360, however, was unable to confirm these concerns on the company's forums.
Samsung has failed to recognise the difficulties raised by consumers and propose a solution. Gadgets 360 has contacted the firm for comment. When we get feedback, we will update this report.
