Samsung Galaxy A52 5G vs Galaxy A51 5G prices
The upcoming Galaxy A52 5G's price is one of few things that are still up for speculation. Leaks have suggested that its European price will start at €429 (about $518), but there haven't been any details on US pricings yet.
The Galaxy A51 5G came out on April 29, 2020, for the price of $499.99, although it can often be found for much less.
Samsung Galaxy A52 5G vs Galaxy A51 5G design and colors

The Galaxy A52 5G (shown here) will be very similar in design to the A51 5G
The Galaxy A52 5G will not be too different from its predecessor, the A51 5G, at first glance. Both phones feature a modern design with minimal bezels around the display, smoothly curved corners, plastic backs, aluminium frames and Gorilla Glass-covered displays. The A51 5G weights about 6.60 oz (187.0 g) and the A52 5G will likely weigh about the same, since it's not getting a larger battery or a general size increase.

Samsung Galaxy A52 5G vs Galaxy A51 5G display

On the front, the Galaxy A52 5G will look just like the Galaxy A51 5G (shown here)
The latest rumors suggest that the Samsung Galaxy A52 5G will have a 6.5-inch Super AMOLED display at a Full-HD+ resolution (2400 x 1080 pixels). Its display could also support a smoother 90Hz refresh rate over the more standard 60Hz, seen in most mid-range phones.
The Galaxy A51 5G is no slouch in the display department either, similarly sporting a 6.5-inch Super AMOLED display at the same resolution of 2400 x 1080. However, its refresh rate is 60Hz.
So if the rumors are true, the A52 5G will have a smoother display refresh rate over its predecessor, but not much else in terms of screen upgrades.
Samsung Galaxy A52 5G vs Galaxy A51 5G performance and specs
The Galaxy A52 5G will be sporting the Qualcomm Snapdragon 750G processor with 8 GB of RAM on board. The A51 5G comes with Samsung's own Exynos 980 chipset with 6 GB of RAM. Both processors have 5G support, but the Snapdragon 750G will likely provide better performance on the A52 5G over its predecessor, for both general use and mobile gaming.

Samsung Galaxy A52 5G vs Galaxy A51 5G cameras

The Galaxy A52 5G camera module (left) will be slightly different in design from the one on the A51 5G (right)
There are some notable changes slated for the Galaxy A52 5G's camera over the A51 5G, at least if we're judging by the numbers. The A52's main camera is rumored to be 64 MP, accompanied with an 8 MP ultra-wide camera and two yet-unknown 5 MP and 2 MP modules, likely a macro camera and depth sensor. On the front, the A52 5G's hole-punch selfie camera is to be 32 megapixels.
The Galaxy A51 5G sports a lesser 48 MP main camera, a higher 12-megapixel ultra-wide camera, again accompanied by 5 MP macro and 5 MP depth sensors.
The newer Galaxy A52 5G will likely offer better photo processing along with its higher-megapixel main camera, although whether its ultra-wide camera will provide better or lesser-quality photos is up to speculation for now.
