What design for the Galaxy A72?
Visuals of the smartphone have already leaked, so we have a good overview of what the Galaxy A72 will look like. As with Samsung’s latest high-end, it packs a central punch into the screen to house the front-facing photo sensor. Inevitably, the edges surrounding the slab are a little thicker than on the more premium models of the brand. On the back, no surprise either with a photo block located in the top left corner. This contains the four modules that make up the camera as well as the LED Flash. The rear shell of the device is made of plastic and the device is IP67 certified water and dust resistant.

As for the fingerprint reader, it is neither on the back nor on the slice, Samsung has logically opted for a scanner under the screen. Of course, there is a USB-C port and we can be satisfied with Samsung’s choice to keep the 3.5mm jack port to connect a headphones or wired headphones, a connector that tends to disappear from smartphones.

In the first case, the Galaxy A72 would run under a Snapdragon 720G, a mid-range chip from Qualcomm. While the more expensive and compatible 5G model would be entitled to a faster SoC, the Snapdragon 750G. Samsung is saving money on chips, with some competitors offering a Snapdragon 765G on their devices this pricing positioning.
