Oppo Find X3 Lite
- Significantly faster 65W charging
- Potentially slightly better CPU performance
- Reverse wired charging capability
- Display brightness likely lower than A52 5G
- Camera specs are unknown, potentially less refined image processing
Samsung Galaxy A52 5G
- Brighter display for better outdoor visibility
- Samsung’s established software update support
- Potentially more refined image processing
- Slower 25W charging
- Slightly less powerful CPU core clock speed
Display Comparison
The Samsung Galaxy A52 5G boasts a significantly brighter display, reaching a measured 787 nits. This is crucial for outdoor visibility, where the Oppo Find X3 Lite’s display specifications are not provided, suggesting it will likely fall short in direct sunlight. While the A52 5G’s contrast ratio is listed as ‘Infinite (nominal)’ – typical for AMOLED panels – the lack of detailed display specs for the X3 Lite makes a direct comparison of color accuracy and panel technology difficult. The A52 5G’s brightness advantage is a clear win for users who consume a lot of media outdoors.
Camera Comparison
Both devices are listed as having Photo/Video capabilities, but detailed camera specifications are absent. Without sensor size, aperture, or OIS details, a direct comparison is challenging. However, given Samsung’s history, the A52 5G likely benefits from more sophisticated image processing algorithms. The prevalence of 2MP macro lenses on both devices suggests these are largely marketing features and won’t significantly impact image quality. The absence of detailed camera specs makes it difficult to declare a clear winner; real-world image samples would be crucial for a definitive assessment.
Performance
Both phones utilize Qualcomm Snapdragon 7-series chipsets, but with key differences. The Oppo Find X3 Lite features the Snapdragon 765G (7nm), while the Samsung Galaxy A52 5G uses the Snapdragon 750G (8nm). The 8nm process of the 750G *should* offer slightly better power efficiency, but the 765G’s CPU configuration – with a higher clocked Kryo 475 Prime core at 2.4GHz versus the A52’s 2.2GHz Kryo 570 – suggests a performance edge in single-core tasks. Both utilize octa-core CPUs with similar mid-tier Kryo cores, meaning everyday tasks will feel smooth on both devices. However, the X3 Lite’s GPU is likely to provide a slightly better gaming experience.
Battery Life
Both phones achieve an endurance rating of 111 hours, indicating similar overall battery life despite differing charging speeds. The Oppo Find X3 Lite’s 65W wired charging is a game-changer, achieving a full charge in just 35 minutes. In contrast, the Samsung Galaxy A52 5G’s 25W charging takes 30 minutes to reach 50%, implying a significantly longer full charge time. The X3 Lite’s reverse wired charging capability is also absent on the A52 5G, offering added convenience for topping up accessories.
Buying Guide
Buy the Oppo Find X3 Lite if you need blazing-fast charging and frequently use power-intensive apps or games. Its 65W charging will get you back up and running quickly. Buy the Samsung Galaxy A52 5G if you prioritize a brighter, more visible display, especially for outdoor use, and value Samsung’s established software update commitment and broader ecosystem.
