First of all, I am a techy type of person and I did not want to spend 1,000 or more on a Flagship Samsung Phone. I decided to purchase the Samsung A52 5G Phone. I purchased it a brick and mortar store close to my home. I placed my existing AT&T Sim Card in it and it worked beautifully.
Pros of this Phone:
1) This phone has the longest BATTERY LIFE of any cellphone that I've ever owned. In the past I've used "Renewed" Samsung Note Phones and the AT&T A71 5G Phone. They had up to about 8 hours of heavy use battery life.
The A52 5G gives me 12 hours of HEAVY use BATTERY Life and I still have 15 percent left.
2) The phone is very fast, no lagging ever.
3) The screen is very sharp and clear. The brightness have 800 Nits maximum brightness so it is easy to read this phone in Direct Sunlight.
4) WiFi, Data and More...This phone easily connects to WiFi and its very fast. I own a 5ghz/2.4Ghz AT&T Dual Band Router and when I'm close to the Router, I get the 5GHz at 533mps...lightning fast! However, in the back of my home, it switches to 2.4Ghz, but it is still fast enough.
** If you have an older 2.4Ghz Router this phone will receive WiFi plenty fast enough.
** Data...have a AT&T 40.00 Monthly Plan with 15GB of Data it shows 5Ge, and it gets the faster Band 66 most if the time...very very fast! There is no 5G where I live yet, however in a few months, it will have 5G here, this is the main reason why I purchased this 5G phone.
Camera is superb, it has 10 x Magnification. The pictures come out clear and sharp.
5) It has a 3.5 Headset Jack and a SD Card Slot. The Flagship Samsung phones don't give you a 3.5 Jack, and some of the Flagship Phones don't give you an SD Card Slot.
Cons...Just one MINOR Con, It doesn't give you a built in S Pen, however, I purchased a Disc Style Stylus that writes similar to the Samsung S Pen, so now I can use Samsung Notes for my handwritten notes.
* Update November 8 2021...This phone is still very fast on my home WiFi or AT&T Data. I'm so happy that I purchased this phone!
I highly recommend this phone.

Similar to a Pixel 4a 5G. Both have pros/cons. Fast 5G on T-Mobile.

I was thinking about knocking off a star because it would say to restart because the Micro SD card was removed when it wasn't. Even just sitting on a table it would say that. Most forums said it happened after the April update. My Micro SD card is fine and when the error comes up and check my pictures they are there. I'm using a 3 year old Samsung 256GB EVO Micro SD card from my old phone. Will probably upgrade to 512GB soon now that google put limits on photo uploads. I still use Amazon Prime to upload photos since they are still unlimited if you have a Prime account/subscription. So my pictures will reside on the SD card and Amazon Photos. Amazon limits you on videos though.Update: I put in a Kingston 512GB card and haven't had the error since. I placed the 256GB EVO back in my old phone and it didn't have errors. Maybe the card has to sit perfectly snug in the tray?For T-Mobile's 5G I got 275Mbps down, 100Mbps in my house. Outside of the house I get 347Mbps down and 137Mbps up using the speedtest.net app in LA. You can turn off 5G if you want to. It's in settings. When you are on Wifi it disables 5G.Update: I now get 776Mbps down and 82Mbps up inside my house. T-mobile called the next week and offered 5G home internet for $50/mo.Battery life is really good compared to my old phone that had a SnapDragon 845.I started setting it up with WIndows 10 "your phone" app. It allows you to manage notifications, messages, photos, and calls from Windwos 10 if the PC and phone are on the same local network (phone has to be on wifi, not cell data). It's a great way to copy and paste text messages and manage/copy photos from the phone to my computer. Then I noticed I could mirror the screen (interact with my phone from my computer) and use my phone's apps in Windows 10. Some apps like some games won't work but I'd say 90% of them do. I tried to do the same with my wife's Pixel 4a but it wasn't there. I found out that it's only for the majority of Samsung phones and it's called link to Windows. You can do the screen mirroring with 3rd party software with other android/iOS phones but this built in feature is very fast and seamless and high resolution.This phone is very similar to a Pixel 4a 5G. The Pixel 4a 5G has a very small advantage in pictures but not by much. This A52 5G has better macro photos. The Pixel 4a 5G has a much brighter screen if you use your phone a lot in direct sunlight. I found the screen to be very good but I'm not in the sun very much. I went from a 1440p screen to a 1080p screen and it's noticeable but I got used to it.The speed of running apps and games are very similar to my Snapdragon 845 phone but with longer battery life. If you don't play a lot of 3D games then the processor is more than enough.Stereo speakers sound clearer. It won't replace my land line or work handset speakerphone just because they have larger speakers but it's good.Back to the camera it is very good. Similar to a Pixel 4a 5G but Samsung has their own camera app and it's better. There are fun snapchat filters and AR (augmented realty) you can use without using the snapchat app. Similar to using the snap camera app in Windows 10. Being able to change from close up to normal and widescreen are very seamless and handy. I didn't to videos yet but examples on youtube show the stabilization on the Pixel 4a is a lot better so if you like to take 4K video while walking you should get something else. there is digital stabilization but you can only do that in 1080p. Reminder, Google still gives Pixel owners unlimited photo uploads for now.The Samsung UI takes getting used to. I'm used the Android One or just plain Android 11. It has a few small things that are convenient that make it "smarter". There are a lot of small things so you'll have to look at a review on the Samsung UI.I thought the punch hole selfie camera would bother me but my mind ignores it as it is on the side and small. I only notice it when watching videos full screen but I often concentrate on the middle of the screen anyways.If you want unlimited photo/video storage, brighter screen, and slightly better camera performance get a Pixel 4a 5G. It's the same price. If you like the link to Windows feature, better day time photos, keeping your media on a micro SDXC card then get the Samsung. I think the Samsung A52 5G will offer slightly better battery life.Only things in the box are a 15w charger, 4ft USB A to C cable, and SIM card ejection tool and some small manuals. I think this comes with a 2 year Samsung warranty. Both phones have the same IP waterproof rating. Something you usually don't find in mid-range phones.I can't say much about the fingerprint reader. I don't have many ridges let on my fingers so no sensor can accurately read my fingerprints. This affects heavy laborers and asians who don't have deep finger print ridges. It doesn't matter how accurate it is, it won't work if your ridges aren't deep enough. Even the expensive ones at work have a hard time.
