Pros
Cons
  • Battery
  • Display quality
  • NFC
  • Telephoto lens
  • No good for gaming

Samsung wants to face the continuous offensive of Chinese brand phones, bringing a somewhat different terminal to the market. This galaxy A72, has as a differentiating character from the rest of the mid-range mobiles with 2 basic points: having a IP67 protection against water , and a telephoto lens of 3x. These two characteristics are practically non-existent in the rest of its competitors in the mid-range. In addition to the aforementioned, it incorporates a great 5000mAh battery with 25W fast charge, which will not leave you stranded at any time, and a super Amoled screen with 800 nits, which will allow it to be viewed even in the worst light conditions. Regarding the design, comment that its rear cameras stand out very little, unlike those of its more direct competition that increasingly present terminals with authentic humps. But not everything was going to be so perfect, this mobile does not incorporate 5G connectivity, and its processor can be a little scarce to move the most demanding games without suffering excessive heating.

What is a Ki score?
Ki is an automatic score based on the specifications and prices of devices. It is calculated using over 200 variables to rank smartphones, tablets and other devices from best to worst.
How do we calculate the Ki?

In this case, to determine the score we evaluate 5 general aspects:

  • Design and screen
  • Hardware and performance
  • Camera
  • Connectivity
  • Battery

Once these 5 factors have been rated, we introduce the price variable. This means that any two devices with the same ratings get a different Ki score for quality vs price.

Even a device objectively worse than another may have a higher Ki score if it has a better price.

Does the Ki score change?

The Ki varies as time goes by. As new devices with better specifications enter the market the Ki score of older devices will go down, always being compensated of their decrease in price.
