    Samsung is giving the same IP67 water and dust resistance rating across its new A-series phones. The Galaxy A72 is indeed waterproof.

    Is samsung galaxy a72 worth buying?
    marvin
    about 2 years ago
    The Samsung Galaxy A72 is a good-looking phone, but so are others at around this price, which makes any of them a better pick. There's the Mi 10T Pro and OnePlus 8T, both of which deliver better gaming performance and cameras. Vivo's X60 also looks good on paper, although we haven't tested it.

    The Samsung Galaxy A72 is a pretty decent device that handles most games with medium to high settings. It also offers a good battery life even with a 90Hz refresh rate and a good amount of gaming, in addition to a pretty formidable camera.

Samsung Galaxy A72 smartphone review - Fine tuning for the mid-range champion
4.1

The Galaxy A72 is the top model of Samsung's mid-range smartphones. Equipped with the Snapdragon 720G, 6 GB of RAM and 128 GB of storage, the 6.7-inch smartphone does a few things differently than its predecessor Galaxy A71. It cannot support 5G, but there is a 5,000 mAh battery, a new casing design, a 90 Hz panel and a quad camera with 64 MP.
