As expected some launch offers are available.
So many may feel they are overpriced phones but read on to find how to get best deal if you are interested to buy.
A52
Price - ₹ 26499 for 6GB RAM + 128GB ROM variant
₹ 27999 for 8GB RAM + 128GB ROM variant
If you can apply max. offers you can save almost ₹ 3000 (HDFC Bank Credit Card EMI ₹ 2000 instant off + Samsung referral code ₹ 1000 off)
So effective prices will be
₹ 23499 for 6/128GB
₹ 24999 for 8/128GB
A72
Price - ₹ 34999 for 8GB RAM + 128GB ROM variant
₹ 37999 for 8GB RAM + 256GB ROM variant
If you can apply max. offers you can save almost ₹ 4000 (HDFC Bank Credit Card EMI ₹ 3000 instant off + Samsung referral code ₹ 1000 off)
So effective prices will be
₹ 30999 for 8/128GB
₹ 33999 for 8/256GB
In addition , A72 also has additional ₹ 3000 extra exchange value if you have old Samsung device.
But you can not take both HDFC Bank Card discount + Additional exchange value offers together.
Also I haven't checked which offers on student, corporate, bank portals are available for A52, A72.
There may be even better offers with bundled 1 year free accidental and liquid damage insurance.
Overall, I feel A52 6/128GB is good deal , especially if you compare with A51 which was launched last year for ₹ 23999.
Both A52, A72 have some big improvements over A51, A71 like improved camera setup, IP Rating, Stereo speakers to name few.
Also promise of 3 years of OS and 4 years of security updates is not offered by any other company except Google Pixel.
I am not comparing A52, A72 to other brands as I feel Samsung value proposition is different.
But I believe atleast A72 should have included better processor with 5G support like Snapdragon 765G.
Let me know if you any questions, feedback or additional information, comments !
