The Samsung Galaxy A72 is available for purchase in Nepal at the starting price of NPR 51,999 for 6/128 GB.

Samsung Galaxy A72 Overview

Samsung Galaxy A72 comes as a successor to the Samsung Galaxy A71. Unlike its predecessor, it has only a 4G variant as of now. As for the 5G version of the device, it is still in the dark.

Design and Build Quality

Both the Samsung Galaxy A72 and the Samsung Galaxy A52 are similar in design, only varying in size. This design is an aesthetic variation of the Samsung Galaxy A32. The difference is that the Galaxy A72 has a camera hump which is not present in the Galaxy A32. 

Samsung has moved on from the diamond cut design and has opted for the pastel color design for this generation of Galaxy A series devices. The device has an IP67 rating for dust and water resistance. The back panel has a matte finish.

In terms of the display, the device offers a 6.7 inch super AMOLED display panel with an FHD+ resolution of 2400 x 1080 pixels in a tall aspect ratio of 20:9. The display features a center punch-hole cutout to house the front-facing camera and has a refresh rate of 90 Hz. 

The phone’s right side has a power button and a volume rocker, while the left side is neat and clean. The secondary mic and hybrid SIM tray lie on the top, whereas the bottom houses a headphone jack, USB Type-C port, primary microphone, and speaker grille.

For the security options, it offers an in-display fingerprint sensor and Face Unlock. However, the in-display fingerprint sensor is optical and not ultrasonic like in the Galaxy S series and Galaxy Note Series. The device also supports NFC connectivity and still retains the 3.5 mm headphone jack.

Performance and Memory

 Internally, the phone is powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 720G chipset and an octa-core processor. It is available in two memory configurations of 6 GB RAM with 128 GB of USF 2.1 storage and 8 GB RAM with 256 GB of USF 2.1 storage.
