- Samsung’s Galaxy A72 5G has apparently surfaced in a new leak.
- The phone would keep the headphone jack while boasting upgraded specs.
- It could arrive as soon as early 2021.
The Galaxy A52 might not be Samsung’s only A-series phone getting an update in 2021. OnLeaks and Voice have offered renders of what they say is the Galaxy A72 5G, not to mention a few of its specs.
If the leak is accurate, the Galaxy A72 will share the updated design language of the upcoming A52. That not only includes the Note 20-style camera bump, “glasstic” back and hole-punch selfie camera, but a 3.5mm headphone jack — you might not have to worry about using wired headphones with Samsung’s upper mid-range handset.

The Galaxy A72 is expected to share many of the specs of the A52, just with a larger 6.7-inch screen size carrying over from the A71. That likely means a mid-range Snapdragon or Exynos processor, 5G and an in-display fingerprint reader. OnLeaks speculates that you’ll find a 64MP main rear camera, but that’s not guaranteed.
You could see the Galaxy A72 arrive in early 2021. If the A71 is indication, it might be priced around $599. That could make it alluring over rivals like the LG Velvet, although it could face stiff competition from the Pixel 5 and OnePlus 8T when they’re on sale.
