Product Overview
Samsung Galaxy A72 is an affordable alternative to the South Korean company's 2021 Galaxy S21 Plus: It comes with the latter a similar design, including the 6.7-inch FHD+ OLED display.
The tradeoffs with the Galaxy A72 are exactly the same as it is with the Galaxy A52: In terms of compromises, the A72 has a slower processor, a lower IP rating (IP67 rather than IP68), a lower display refresh rate at 90Hz, a downgrade of USB-C to 2.0, and a omission of WiFi 6 in favor of WiFi 5.
On the other hand, it adds a fourth camera in the back, including an 8MP telephoto camera with 3x optical zoom, upgrades the selfie camera to 32MP, and keeps the microSD card support.
Unlike the A52, the Galaxy A72 is only available with LTE.

Reviewer score 75% (normalized by Neofiliac)The Galaxy A72 is rumored to come in four fresh colors: Awesome Black, Awesome White, Awesome Violet, and Awesome Blue. It will reportedly feature a quad-camera setup just like its predecessor with a main sensor of 64MP.
