You should have known this before you brought it. There is no official way to change regions. Each region have some regulations and each rom is different from each other. Like your device doesn't have call recording and such features.

 

You will receive updates a bit early since it's an UAE region device.

You can try flashing a different firmware but can not guarantee to be work since each rom is different.

 

If this answer helped you , Please consider accepting this as a solution from the 3 dot menu :)

To do this you need to change the firmware of your device. You have to download official firmware and flash the firmware through Odin3 And to do that you will need a computer . In that case If you are not an expert then you should not do it. Because the slightest mistake can damage your device.

Take backup of all your data and reset your phone.
Once it is restarted, it will ask you to select region.

That doesn't change anything in the firmware. The frequency bands used for 2G,3G,LTE etc are different. Also different countries use different bands. Even though most phones hardware support almost all bands, in firmware Samsung disable the bands not used by the country the device is sold. Only one reason for this. To prevent users buying from a cheaper place and take to another country.  changing the country in the settings has zero effect on firmware. You can try flashing  firmware of Indian variant of the same phone. You can download the firmware of different regions in samfw.  If you are comfortable with flashing of ROMS, you can do that using odin for Samsung phones.  It may/may not work. If the hardware is not  exacty same, this may not work. Lost features at the best or a bricked   phone at the worst.

If you r going to live in india permanently then there is a way... Take backup of all your files.. download a52s 5g indian (INS) Firmware in sammobile website and install it properly using Odin.. now you will get a clean indian version of a52s. But one condition.. UAE warranty will be void.

There is unofficial ways to do so.
But for that you should have technical knowledge (a lil bit) and thats a risky process and may brick your device.

Are you willing to risk?

Search in google & you have to enter some code followed by imei & then select INS but all data will be erased
