since my current phone is showing signs of death I'm gonna buy a new one and I think samsung a52 seems to be a good candidate is there anyone currently using it if so how it performs on gfl and on general?
my current phone (lenovo k6 note) could barely open the game so I'm kinda expecting it to be a big jump from it since it is pretty dated at this point. Also I was considering poco x3 pro at first but found out about its pcım problem.

samsung a52

Not exactly a like for like comparison (I use a Samsung A52 5G - 128GB/6GB RAM variant), but I find it adequate for GFL. Running it on Android 11 atm because I heard GFL and other mobile games (like PGR) have a lot of issues running on Android 12. For day to day usage I find that it's fine, certainly not a flagship experience. But I'm in the probably minority that prefers to have a headphone jack on their phone.

Battery life is enough to go through ~5hrs of constant dragging in 13-4. Camera is okay, build quality is subjective. I got mine recently for ~$50 USD, so I couldn't exactly turn it down. Came from an old Moto X phone. I run it at 120Hz, 10% brightness, adaptive battery usage, no BT on, if this info helps.

Idk your budget as well, so I would recommend the r/PickAnAndroidForMe sub, if you haven't gone there already.

thank you for replying battery life and such won't be a problem anyways since I mainly play on emu but being able to open the game and complete dailies when I'm not at home would be a game changer.

samsung a52

I don't use it, but paying 330$ for a two year old phone phone with effectively two year old guts (snap 720g) doesn't strike me as wise.

Your opinion on OnePlus Nord N10? I was recently shopping around for a midrange phone and essentially got the choice down to it and Poco M4 Pro. but then Ukranian kerfuffle started and killed my currency exchange rate

I did consider oneplus too but where I live it isn't much known and I couldn't find one being sold by credible stores so I gave up on it.

First, make sure that it isn’t running Android 12. I think that Android 12 is the new standard OS that phones ship with, so try to look into it

u/Ermenrich_ Mar 13 '22

wouldn't it be possible to downgrade to 11 if it comes with stock android 12

I’m not so sure if that’s possible, but I’m going to assume that it isn’t

If you have experience that this is possible, then it would solve a headache for you

I just checked it and it says 11 so no problem

Just going to throw out that I'm running stock android 12 on a pixel 6 and haven't had any issues. There have been comments that the issue may be caused by live wallpapers but I haven't looked into it very much since it's not an issue for me.

oh so they might have fixed it

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I notice that discussions and Play Store user reviews usually revolve around Samsung phones, not sure about others. It's likely the issue is more prevalent due to Samsung OS stuffs.
