>We are very disappointed by the fingerprint reader; we are not fans of the virtual proximity sensor, and the thick screen bezels are off-putting. While none of these is a real deal-breaker, they should be considered when shopping for a phone.

I don’t think bezel size should be considered when buying a phone. But it won’t matter next year anyway because the A56 will again have thinner bezels.

        Are the haptics on Poco F5 really premium? In your full review, you mentioned they're not great. I'm quite confused.

When I was using it last year July in the east-coast, I was only getting 4G from Tmobile and ATT networks. Not sure if both networks have allowed the 5G to work on the A52s.

I dont know what GSMArena is thinking in terms of over-all 'bang-for-buck' value. I think due to the SD 778-5G (6nm) being 2 years old now compared to A54's Exynos 1380 (5 nm) - Still the comparison between these 2 cpu's are not that far-apart.

                                  https://www.gsmarena.com/compare.php3?idPhone1=11039&idPhone2=12070

                                  A52s = AnTuTu: 506432 (v9) , GeekBench: 2801 (v5.1)
                                  A54 = AnTuTu: 506678 (v9) , GeekBench: 2703 (v5.1)

                                  The only edge A54 has over A52s is the battery has more capacity which adds a few hours.

                                      I've returned to GSM arena from about 1 year without reading about phones.
                                      I feel like everyphone I see here it's like a copy cat. Why the smartphone industry stopped innovating😔, all phones here now looks a like.

                                        Hoorey ! - my A52s made it to this list as still being considered one of the best midrange all-rounders. Got it last June of 2022 for only 22K and it's the best-bang for the buck!

                                        This model is considered as a premium mid-range according to Samsung, as the A53 cant even compete due to bad CPU performance.
