Z9 is not great for gaming. The other picks can do genshin stable 50+ fps at maxed out graphics

Any idea on what battery to purchase for a52s? I having problem of finding it online as i cant get a proper mall seller. Most of the sellers are those that i dont really trust, lol. Any brand of battery to recommend? I notice its easier to find a reputable battery brand for iphone compare to android.

Actually i had been hunting for a replacement for my a52s for 1 year plus already, still cant find a proper replacement. Didnt knew a52s is a bang for buck phone with incredible specs, even for a 2021 samsung phone. Cant really find a 1k phone today that can beat this 2021 phone.

Main criteria for replacement is led screen, memory card slot and 3.5mm jack.

Samsung hit the right notes combining SD 778G with A series. It was a once off experiment but this model will outlast even the latest A55, when comparing SoC performance.

It's a pity they don't have any combination of 7 Gen 3 with any of the A series, and their Exynos lineup continue to disappoint.

A52s user here too. It has all the right features that I wanted back then. Looking for newer models but can't find any suitable replacement for the same price range. Sad that nowadays they started to remove 3.5mm and microSD. Me just jealous new and even some cheaper models have outperformed the A52s quite significantly in terms of camera quality. Fortunately, my battery health still above 90% after 2 years. Will hold on to it for now till the software update support ended.

My sister just went to Malaysia Samsung official service centre to replace the battery haha, she lazy to DIY, the price was slightly more expensive but better peace of mind.

But one thing to note is that the A52s 5G is on OneUI 6 (Android 14) and won't be receiving upcoming OneUI 7 (Android 15) come October 2024. And the A52s will no longer be guaranteed to receive any security patches starting with September 2025. (If you use bank apps, that means software on the A52s should be able to last until late 2026/early 2027)

Totally agree. I always looking forward to A5x series every year hoping for a proper replacement and each time i get disappointed. Worst is a53 and a54, where both performance lose to a52s  , but is priced higher.

Thanks for the price. I'm thinking to change battery when I'm phasing myself to custom LineageOS system after the official software support ends. I just have concerns on 3rd party OS because I'll lose VOLTE or WiFi calling, so I'm using the OneUI until it ends.

Get poco f4 or f3, get snapdragon processors, they are immensely better than Mali of dimensity mediakek

You can play a lot switch games using yuzu via snapdragon processors while Mali dimensity processors just damn slow.

Don't get snapdragon 8 gen 1. Others OK, 855 865 etc

u forgot to mentioned. avoid sd 888 at all cost 

Yes agree that also manufactured by samsung. Also have heat issue and throttle. End up tsmc still better.

How about A34, slighty cheaper then A53, ok?

dont downgrade lah boss, ip 16 pro max coming soon in few months time
