same issue ,I updated my password and may have enabled 2 fa authentication .now when I login they are sending sms to a number that I had 2 years ago in a different country. I threw that sim away.contacyed samsung support in chat and they asked personal details ,now they say last name and date of birth I gave is wrong
oh my bad ,I thought A52 5g was exynos and A52S was snapdragon
I need to find that out
yeah warranty and repair were my main concern, with m series, .That’s why my initial choice was A54 ,I thought I will just stick to mid range phones ,in Samsung series and just trade in my old device and buy a new mid range every 2 years. I actually try to buy from big stores like sharafdg,but price is 1250 aed for A54 in them ,where as online on Amazon and noon cheapest is 1080 Aed .almost 150 to 180 aed difference .in the official Samsung uae website the price is 1150 if I am not mistaken,but its been out of stock for weeks now to order on it.I plan to get 256 gb A54 .
I don’t use phone for gaming ,and my current A52 does the job for me ,never had issue .But after 2 years battery suddenly started draining away quickly .For the first year and half it lasted 1.5 days on full charge …now it barely lasts for half or 3/4th day …if not A54 ,I was thinking of M53 5g,its I think for Indian Market, but battery is 6000 mah,rest of the specs similar to A54 ,only issue I am.in UAE where M series is officially not sold ,I can get it online ,but worried about repair,warranty.Next options are either A73 (this is 1.5 times price of A54 ,5000 mah)or S23 fe (twice the price of A54,but battery is 4500 mah).My thought is if I am willing to pay A73 pay 500 dhirams and get S23fe instead,
can’t wait that long ,planning to buy in a month or two .My old A52 battery isn’t lasting long now having trouble with jt
Buy A54 at half the price ,if you use phone only for basic stuff and then may be trade in after 2 years with another mid range phone
