Samsung Galaxy A72 256GB Expert Review Summary
Expert Rating:
3.5/5
Verdict
While the Galaxy A72 scores on most aspects and comes across as a capable phone on its own, it does appear to be priced on the higher side. The lack of 5G doesn`t bode well for it either. In its price range, it has to contend with rivals like Mi 11X (review), but even its own sibling, the Galaxy S20 FE (review) appears to be better. For most intents and purposes, the Galaxy A52 should be able to deliver the same experience as the Galaxy A72, for a lower price. Go for the Galaxy A72 if its larger
Pros
- Nice design and solid build
- IP67 certified
- Capable 90Hz display
- Decent set of cameras
Cons
- Misses out on 5G
- Cannot match rivals in terms of performance
- Bloatware
- Seems Pricey
