Samsung appears to be working through its remaining stock of Galaxy A52 5G phones in preparation for the official announcement of the A53.
The A52 retails between $399 to $499 among reputable vendors but T-Mobile is currently selling it for $4.12 a month for 24 months ($98.88) + the cost of a standard phone plan.
This could very well be a price-error on T-Mobile's end because it's priced lower than the A03, A12, A13, and A32.
The phone is very mid-range, but it may be of interest to some because it appears to be the last Samsung phone to support a SD Card and Headphone jack. I purchased one at a retail location without any issues.

That already checks a couple of flagship phone features. Add to that Samsung's commitment (which began with the A52) to support three years of monthly security updates and a fourth year of security updates (which could be quarterly or less). That kind of support used to be the exclusive domain of flagship phones.
This should definitely attract buyers who need a value but aren't picky about the camera (about the biggest feature that is significantly differentiated from a proper flagship phone). If you're like me, you're already using your "free" LG Velvet in this way, but for those coming in today this could be a compelling option.
Oh, and did I mention the headphone jack? Courage.
Good luck!
