Without a doubt,the Galaxy A52s is one of the best mid-range phones Samsung has ever made. And you most likely already know this if you’ve held on to it for the past four years.
But nothing lasts forever, and neither did the A52s. As we mentioned earlier today, the phone is no longer supported with new firmware updates and security patches as of this month. and unless you’re okay with that, it’s finally time for an upgrade.
What’s the best upgrade, and what should you avoid?
We certainly know it’s been difficult to find an awesome replacement for the stellar Galaxy A52s all these years. But in 2025,we can confidently say that the best Galaxy A phone that can and should replace your retired Galaxy A52s is the Galaxy A56.
Unless you want to spend more on a higher-end S-series device,the Galaxy A56 is,in essence,the perfect upgrade.
Looking for performance gains? Avoid the Galaxy A36
The Galaxy A36 might look good,but it’s not a clear win.It has similar features to the A56 and costs less. So, if you’re on a budget, it might seem like a better upgrade from your Galaxy A52s.
