iPhone 12 Pro vs Samsung Galaxy A52 Real World Camera Comparison

Today I will compare the cameras on the iPhone 12 Pro versus the Samsung Galaxy A52. I know this is budget versus flagship but let's see how far or close the camera quality on the A52 is to the iPhone 12 Pro.

Hi everyone, I'm just a regular guy that likes to shoot video. I like to review tech and show the camera capabilities on the newest mobile phones.

[@venator7889]

The iPhone 12 Pro is Ultimately the winner but the Galaxy A52 isn't that bad which is pretty impressive for a budget device 😱 I'd probably buy that one because it's not a day and night difference to the iPhone 12

[@danielsin]

Yeah for the price it’s not that bad

[@tadejgerlica3489]

true.... but try test after both phones are old 2 years ;) then there will be HUGE difference xD im still owning iph7 (4 years and 2m) working as new, only battery is critical :)

Is it weird that i prefer A52 in some settings? Like the close ups and nature pictures. It's probably due to the software and processing of the photo, but they're brighter and it feels like the subjects are sharper because of that.

[@DesignbyBK]

I have iPhone 12 Pro Max and my wife has A52. I can tell you A52 is an amazing phone for its camera and display but not happy with its speed, feels sluggish but good for its price. I think A72 is a better deal.

Don't even need a desktop pc. There are now apps for phones that do about 80% of what you can do on a computer and that'd do if you don't mind doing that extra step before posting a pic or a video.

[@TheDIYFilmmaker]

Hi Daniel, the footage you show from the iPhone 12 Pro looks awesome, but I get in my iPhone 13 more saturated Colors than in your shots. Did you desaturated the clips? What App did you use to get this footage? Cheers!

[@danielsin]

Thanks. I use the stock camera app. I didn’t do any post color grading. Just straight from the camera.

[@captureinsidethesound]

That's Apples color science in which works fine most the time but sometimes it over the top. Filmic Pro allows you to record in LOG so it shouldn't look saturated at all but rather flat for color grading it yourself and adding your own color input and output. Unfortunately, most do not even know what recording in LOG profile is, let alone iPhone Pro 13's new ProRes video feature.

[@mit6089]

Not to sound like a hater but i think your a52’s hdr is broken/needs cache cleaned after an update (samsung devices needs cache cleaning after an update). My daily driver is an iphone 11 and thats basically 12 tbh. I’ve used my mom’s a52 and it has the most agressive hdr for stills i’ve ever seen. Crushed blacks were never a thing, actually needed some for realism. Just wanted to point that other than that great effort on the videos :D

[@danielsin]

Thanks man. That’s weird because it’s fairly new and out of the box. Not much apps has even been installed.

[@attanayakeanuda]

Galaxy A52 is great and camera shots are like dark and movie like .

[@usman723]

Also people are asking if 5g version is better than 4g version of a52,5g version only has 120hz display and snapdragon 750g chipset so I think to buy 5g version or not it depends on 5g network coverage in your area/country also if you're a big fan of displays 120hz is going to be smoother than 90hz but 90hz is more power efficient as compared to 120hz display also both have the same battery so it'd be better they gave 5000mah in 5g version ! also there's slight performance difference when it comes to 720g vs 750g I think 4g is a whole package it's more stable because it has 90hz display to pair up with 4500mah battery I like these figures more ! Because 120hz with same 4500mah battery doesn't make much sense to me. So 5g version is ok but things I feel that lack are : 5000mah battery or more Design changes Could've added glass to the back More screen area less bezels Also this all could've cost more but they should've adjusted the price because it's pointless to buy a 5g phone with 750g chipset only so a52 5g isn't that much of a big deal in it's price 4g version is perfect !

[@danielsin]

Thanks for the info!

[@Ekphrasys]

When People realize that Plastic is the very best material for ANY device, especially mobile devices? Yeah, you spend 1.000 bucks with aluminum, glass and stuff, you drop it...end of the games...That's why you cover your phone with PLASTIC cases and (fake) screen protectors....My oh my.... Why on earth in 2021 people are so dumb?

How resolution eksport video edit in samsung a52s ??? And use wht apk

[@cemreksa8150]

Hi can i ask a question, can you show how ois works in A52 with a technician. Because i feel i scammed by Samsung. A52 have OIS but videos not like that. Also how OIS can not work on 4K because it uses SAME LENS. And why we need to use EIS for stabilization. Because OIS is hardware thing. I can not understand. Where is f OIS.

@DANIEL CHUKWUKERE you can say that but don't forget how much superior hardware they have compared to a52 a phone like f3 has 870sd at same price range i know MIUI sucks but One UI of a52 is not great either and the perfect between is realme their software is the best at that price

[@aishnajain1943]

Hey ,this comparison was so accurate. I wanted to know is there any major difference in 4g and 5g variant of A52?

[@danielsin]

I don’t think so. If they are using the same camera sensor then they are more or less the same

[@ricky_account]

La diferencia es ligeramente significativa ya que el A52 4G lleva un snapdragon 720G y el A52 5G un snapdragon 750G 5G lo que quiere decir que el procesamiento de las fotos será un poco mejor en el A52 5G, pero la diferencia es muy poca como para tener que pagar un poco más...

The only reason I want to upgrade from my A52 is because of the video. I'm left a little disappointed every time I record a video or action shot, but at the end of the day for a phone that I got on sale for $500 CAD, I have very little to complain about. It plays pokemon go, takes a drop like it's nothing, is no stranger to a little (or a lot) of water, and it lasts as long as I need it to. It's durable, cheap, and an all around great phone for the average person.
