Samsung Galaxy A52s 5G vs Samsung Galaxy XCover 6 Pro

Our Verdict: Comparing Samsung Galaxy A52s 5G and Samsung Galaxy XCover 6 Pro, the choice mostly comes down to portability versus simplicity. The A52s 5G gives you its Super AMOLED panel, a higher-resolution 64MP rear camera, and a higher-resolution 32MP front camera, while the 6 Pro is more appealing for a 6.3-inch PLS LCD display at 419 PPI, a 50MP rear camera, and a 13MP front camera. A bigger mAh figure is useful context, but real battery life still depends on software and chipset efficiency. Choose the A52s 5G for portability; choose the 6 Pro if simplicity matters more.

If you'd rather pay up front, the A52s 5G is the cheaper buy at £165 SIM-free.
