Interestingly, Samsung is working on a new Galaxy M52 5G handset. The phone is said to be a repackaged version of the Galaxy F52 5G, which too launched recently. According to rumours, Samsung Galaxy M52 5G will have a 6.6-inch display with an FHD+ screen and a 120Hz refresh rate. It will run on Qualcomm's Snapdragon 750G processor with 8GB of RAM. It will come with 128GB of built-in storage.

For photography, the phone will have a 64-megapixel primary sensor along with an 8-megapixel ultra-wide-angle lens, a 2-megapixel depth sensor and a 2-megapixel macro sensor. The smartphone could also house a 16-megapixel front camera for selfies.
