Samsung Galaxy A52 may have IP67 rating for dust and water resistance

Recently, we’ve encountered the leaked specifications of the upcoming Samsung Galaxy A52 LTE/5G. And now, a tipster claimed that the upcoming mid-range device will have another flagship feature of Samsung’s premium smartphones.

According to the YouTube video posted by a tipster, the Galaxy A52 5G will come with IP67 certification for dust and water resistance. If this rumor comes true, this device will become the first mid-range Galaxy smartphone after 2017 that will be dust and water-resistant.

However, the 2017’s Galaxy A5 and Galaxy A7 were the first lower-end handset offering from Samsung having an IP68 rating for dust and water resistance. Later on, the company has stopped bringing this feature to mid-rangers.
