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.

There is no Telephoto Lens on the A52. But it's still doing pretty good compared to a phone with one!

[@nemanjazujevic9534]

Can you compared s21 ultra, vs Pixel 4a 5g?

[@Amit_Kumar_Trivedi]

How does A72 stack up? Does it have a good telephoto lens?

[@sammatsusaka823]

S21 ultra 128GB at COSTCO starting 11/15/21 ($750) with Verizon

[@venator7889]

Samsung have seriously improved their A series this year because their A series from last year was one of the most purchased smartphones from last year, Ultimatley the S21 is better but you got to give credit where credit is due on the A51 camera 👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@danielsin]

For a budget phone, the camera is impressive!

[@venator7889]

@@danielsin Oops I meant A52 not A51 😅, please can I ask an interesting question, where do you get your review units from 🤨?

[@danielsin]

@@venator7889 I share the same space as Booredatwork. So I got access to play around with these phones haha

[@blkmattymatt]

I don't take much pictures on my phone. I recently bought an a52 5g and I can tell you that I'm 100% happy with it. Cheaper is better in my book. Sure the s21 takes better pictures but it's not the end of the world. I'm saving money and you can't beat that

[@danielsin]

Yeah I agree, saving money is the best. Thats why I prefer the pixel a series because it saves money and takes flagship level pictures

[@anshulshah1703]

I think this shows that software matters a lot more than hardware. We've seen it from Pixel and iPhones, i hope other people realize that soon enough. As long as you have a fast shutter and ois, thats all you need

[@danielsin]

Yeah the pixel really shows how much the software side of things can really make the image look good for the average consumer

[@pineaplehead5020]

Wow, the differences are real, especially on HDR and stabilization. Flagship's camera quality is always great. Nice comparison as always 👏

[@danielsin]

Thank you! The quality is still pretty good for a budget phone 👌

[@michaelguzman4368]

I honestly deeply enjoyed your review... The music, the action of you pulling up with your go pro about to take the shot with both cameras... You hit most of the detailed points when it comes to tech specs (going any further would be too much) and over all your eye for photography was spot on. I am now a subscriber after this ONE REVIEW. keep it up.

[@danielsin]

Thank you for the kind words!

[@GnkaGinu]

Great video, in under 5 minutes you can show almost everything.

[@danielsin]

Thank you!!

[@akn2004]

Can you please tell me how both phones do with the pro mode-especially for pictures? I really like to use the pro mode to keep ISO to the lowest.

[@Jackpot.999]

Great video but why didn't you take macro shots 🤔

[@cesarsaladd_]

Can I ask how's the A52's camera compares to the Oppo Reno 2? I'm eyeing the A52 as a possible replacement for my Reno 2 since it's already 2 years old. Hoping for a reply, thanks!

[@danielsin]

I don’t have the Reno 2 anymore to compare lol

[@charliethechaste]

I was let down by the zoom on my A52 4g today. Everything but zoom detail shots it has been great for.

Thanks you so much for comparing these phones just what I needed to see. I bought the A52 was not happy with video and pics. Today I am buying the S21. Thanks again for making this video, it helped out so much. Keep doing what your doing Awesome Video. - Chris Green.

[@danielsin]

Thanks Chris!

[@lenacheney]

This makes me happy I have the s21

[@WayneLavystar]

Ey bro can you please do a comparison between s21 vs a73 camera

[@joeygunzilla6878]

Nice review!!! I have an a52 and also have a s21+ I love both phones but I must say the pictures on the a52 just don't compare the a52 also feels much heavier then the s21+.. The screen is nice and big, the charging speed is great and I love the sd card slot. I wish Samsung didn't use ultrasonic fingerprint reader on either phone because I like being able to use screen protectors without paying a fortune for them. Awesome job editing I enjoyed the video thanks!

[@danielsin]

Thank you!!

[@eckoman1185]

Turn up the screen sensitivity

[@joeygunzilla6878]

@@eckoman1185 all I get is.. "make sure your finger covers the entire sensor" no luck ☹️ I've tried 2 different brands of "9H tempered glass protectors" I ordered the "whitestone dome" brand protector for my s21+ it's supposed to be ultrasonic fingerprint compatible.. it comes on Monday hopefully it works 🤞 I'll post a reply to this comment if anyone else is interested in solving this issue. ✌️😎🤙

[@joeygunzilla6878]

hey, the whitestone dome protector works FLAWLESSLY I purchased the original one (glue style/non-ez) from Amazon paid $49 it came with 2 protectors and a free lifetime warranty.. it was difficult to install patience is key to a successful install. The coolest thing is it looks as if I can install the extra protector on my A52 I think it's just about the same size! Hands down worth the 50 bucks highly recommend!

[@Mista-Smith]

To be honest I think some of the a52 pics looked better than s21

[@damienveerayen5805]

Did you use the supersteady on A52 while recording?

[@danielsin]

Nope. Just auto mode in stock camera app

[@Sara-xw7sv]

Really needed this video 👍👍

[@danielsin]

Glad these examples helped you out!

[@aryansharma4322]

is there any camera quality difference between 4g 5g varient as chipset is different so image processing may be???

[@archphobia2128]

Network and Chipset are different. Clarity would be same if it runs on same chipset.

[@Sky-wo1lt]

The difference minimal

[@manarelgedawy]

hi so s21 vs a72 who wins?

[@quyencv3830]

For camera, I believe A52 (sony sensor) is better. Special for shutter speed. A52 can take a picture of moving object (bike, dog, walking people..) without blurry, S21 (samsung sensor) is not same at all. only a little movement also make image blurry For stable object, S21 is better.

[@lenacheney]

I have the s21 for 400. I love it other than battery. Every single budget galaxy has a 4500 mah battery. Why doesn't the more expensive s21??? Some days I get 6 hours of battery life but then I will also get 8 or 9 doing the exact same things! I just ordered a magnetic battery charger for extra power. Everything else about the s21 I love love love. I recommend it. It's light and fits in the hand. I actually am a fan of the plastic back. People only thing a glass back is premium is because phone companies have told us that it's premium when in reality it's a 3 or 4 hundred dollar fix if you drop it. Gotta worry about back and front.

[@danielsin]

Oh wow 400 bucks for the S21 is a great deal!

[@Amit_Kumar_Trivedi]

A52s 5G vs Pixel 4A vs Oneplus Noprd 2 vs iPhone SE 2 would be a great shootout.

[@wizardkoer782]

I'm so glad I got the S21. With the ultra fast fingerprint sensor, super nice haptic feedback and flagship cameras, the experience just so damn good. A52, A52 5G and A52s are still really great mid range options, and I'd 110% buy those if that's all I could afford.

[@danielsin]

Yup. All great choices!

[@cristynohara]

I'm broke, I have enough with the a52, at least is way better than the phone that I have right now 😅

[@zoostzoo]

A52 audio is low, S21 👆 👍

[@danielsin]

👌

[@insertnamehere8723]

To be fair the HDR on the A51 with the clouds was bang on, albeit a little unrealistic and dark, but in partial to that kind of HDR look that iphones have in how cloud and sky scenery is represented. Overall I'd say the s21 is most realistic in dynamic range and image quality.

[@King-ok8mv]

Is the Samsung A52 worth buying or not? Are you satisfied with the camera performance of the Samsung A52 or not?

[@danielsin]

Yeah for the price it’s good.
