The Galaxy A series makes some of the most popular Galaxy innovations available to all.
“Over the past year, we’ve come to rely on our phones more than ever to keep us connected and provide some much-needed fun and entertainment,” said Drew Blackard, vice president of mobile product management at Samsung Electronics America. “The 2021 Galaxy A series delivers all of that.

Galaxy A Series 5G lineup
This year’s Galaxy A series lineup introduces three new, versatile devices that harness the power of 5G[1] — including Samsung’s first-ever 5G device under $300 — to enhance your mobile experience with clear video calls, smooth streaming and seamless gaming.
The Galaxy A series experience starts with the screen. All new 5G Galaxy A series devices deliver awe-inspiring visuals and vivid colors on edge-to-edge displays.
Every 5G Galaxy A series device has impressive camera features. 4K Video Snap lets you grab high resolution still photos straight from your 4K videos so you don’t have to choose between taking a photo or shooting a video. Scene Optimizer automatically detects what’s in frame and enhances exposure, contrast and color for just the right shot. Special AR Lenses from Snapchat are now built right into the native camera app with the brand-new Fun Mode.[2]
The Galaxy A series provides the power you need to stay connected all day long and then some with large, long-lasting batteries, Fast Charging[3] and Adaptive Power Saving. And you won’t need to delete old memories to make room for new ones, as all three 5G devices have expandable memory with microSD[4] support up to 1TB.
Galaxy A52 5G packs a number of Galaxy innovations that are new to the Galaxy A series this year, including exciting camera features that make capturing content more fun. Whether you’re documenting your latest road trip or capturing your dog running across the yard, a new quad camera system with 64MP high-resolution and Optical Image Stabilization (OIS) keeps your images clear and steady. In addition to intelligent camera features such as Single Take and Super Steady, the Galaxy A52 5G adds new innovations like Pro Video Mode which gives you the power to adjust settings including ISO, shutter speed, exposure levels and white balance so you can take videos the way you want.
Enjoy buttery-smooth scrolling, gaming and browsing on the 6.5-inch FHD+ Super AMOLED display[5], thanks to an incredible 120Hz refresh rate — a first for the Galaxy A series. The Galaxy A52 5G also delivers a clear and balanced audio experience for movies and gaming with Stereo Speakers. [6]
Galaxy A52 5G will be available starting at $499.99. It features 6GB of RAM and 128GB of onboard storage.
Galaxy A42 5G helps you capture more creative content to impress all your friends and followers.

Enjoy crystal clear visuals and vibrant colors on the large 6.6-inch HD+ Super AMOLED display.[7]

The Galaxy A32 5G’s 6.5-inch HD+ LCD display[9] delivers an immersive entertainment experience.
Galaxy A32 5G will be available starting at $279.99. It features 4GB of RAM and 64GB of onboard storage.
