August update is here

Damn that's fast.

My previous Mate 20 also didn't get so much updates.

So far so good Samsung.

Samsung definitely needs to revise their strategy especially on their flagship phones. What a waste that they did not manage to grab the market share from Huawei. biggrin.gif

want to know A52 4g any pro & con?
want buy for my sis to replace her old huawei ....

It is a pretty well-rounded mid-range phone. Comes with good camera(with OIS) and display, got both microSD slot and headphone jack, and you get IP67 and 3 major OS upgrades which other brands don't provide at this price point. The downside is there is no telephoto len, weaker processor and average haptic motor.

Telephoto and haptic not important as my sis seldom use all the function......
As for processor,  if compare to huawei nova 2i, faster enough? Use for fb or youtube, whatsapp/telegram and banking apps....

More than enough if no playing games like PUBG or Genshin Impact

Anyone use sd card as internal storage for M51?
I tried adb but failed
*
Why tho? SD card is much more slower than the internal storage. That's why, they don't allow or recommend to move apps to sd card anymore. It will make your phone more sluggish.

yes it's confirmed broken, Samsung is ridiculous , replace 1 thing also cant do on the spot, need to send in for 3 days without providing spare phone, really bad to buy a series
*
I think you can request to wait for the parts to arrive first then send them to change on the spot right? Like this you won't need to send them your phone for 3 days

Update for A72 at last.

Anyone used RAM plus? Useful?

A72 already have 8gb of RAM. Doubt would have any difference for casual users.

It enables automatically after you install the update if not mistaken. I think it is more of a gimmick tho, since the ROM speed is so much slower than the RAM speed. Probably it will benefit older phones with 4GB or RAM, but for A52, I don't think you will notice it.

How to do that?
*
Connect your phone to PC using cable, or you can plug in type c earphones if you have. Then power off your device and then hold power button+volume up button at the same time until samsung logo shown up then you should enter recovery mode. You can search from youtube on how to do it, cuz some samsung phones have different access method.

After you have entered recovery mode, just use the volume button to navigate to the wipe cache partition option and select it using power button. After wiping it, just reboot to system and you're done.

If you don't play heavy games, A52s is great.

I remember last time I went to a few stores and told them Samsung Pay. They said they don't support it despite having the paywave terminal. The next time I went there and I told them paywave and they know how to use the terminal for me to pay using Samsung Pay. biggrin.gif

Guys, I plan to buy a Samsung mid range for my mom.. Priority is screen big, nice quality screen, cameras good enough and good enough for daily use.
I've had my eye set on M52 5G, A72, A52s maybe?

Which one do you guys suggest? Budget up to 1.6k-ish
*
M52 5G downside is only have single speaker. If you can deal with it, or if your mom comes from single speaker device too, I think it is the best choice out of those 3 you mentioned because it is usually priced at 1299 only. Else, A52s is the best phone out of those 3 but you need to top up a few hundred.

*forgot to mention that A52s is one of the few phones below 2k that comes with OIS on the main sensor, so it helps a lot if you have unstable hand when taking photos or even recording videos.

Hahaha, yeah, SD powered Samsung tends to go the distance compared to their Exynos cousins...

Aiya, just ask your dad to kill all the apps and restart the phone every week la - minimum device care biggrin.gif

Or you can set it to auto optimization every day and auto restart every week biggrin.gif

A52s if you manage to find good deal online, it should be below 1.6k
