Samsung Galaxy A72
The Samsung Galaxy A72 is aesthetically similar to the Galaxy A52; however, it has undergone a full overhaul. The full-HD+ resolution and 90Hz refresh rate of the 6.7-inch Super AMOLED display make it suitable for HDR content. The in-screen fingerprint sensor on the Samsung Galaxy A72 is advertised as fast and trustworthy, but in my experience, it has been neither. Even though the Snapdragon 720G SoC is a severe underachiever in contrast to rivals at this price point, it is still capable of running Android 11. The performance of games was also satisfactory, with titles like Genshin Impact boasting very playable framerates and very occasional stuttering.
