Overview
What this part is
The Galaxy A52 front camera sits behind a small hole in the top of the screen and is used for selfies, video calls and face recognition. A drop or moisture can leave it blurred, spotted, black or showing a 'camera failed' message.
This part is the front camera module only. Clean the screen over the lens and restart the phone first. If the selfie camera still fails, the module is the likely fault. If the screen glass over the camera is cracked, the screen needs replacing instead.

Professional installation
How a technician fits this part
- Power the phone off and remove the SIM tray.
- Warm the back cover to soften the adhesive and lift it off carefully.
- Remove the screws and the upper panel, then disconnect the battery.
- Unplug the old front camera, lift it out and seat the new one in the same position.
- Reconnect the battery and test photos and video on the front camera before closing.
- Refit the panel and screws, then fit the back cover with new adhesive.
Check that the part matches the device before fitting it or removing any adhesive backing. Once a part has been fitted, it cannot be returned for a change of mind. Faulty parts are always covered.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Will this fit my Galaxy A52?
Yes, if Settings › About phone shows Galaxy A52 (model SM-A525). It does not fit the Galaxy A52s 5G, A53 5G, A72.
Does it fit the Galaxy A52 5G or A52s 5G?
The supplier lists this camera for the Galaxy A52 SM-A525 only. The A52 5G (SM-A526B) and A52s 5G (SM-A528B) are different models, so compare your old camera with the photos before ordering.
Will face recognition work after fitting?
Face recognition on this phone uses the front camera, so it should work once the new camera is fitted. You may need to register your face again in Settings. Your PIN, pattern and fingerprint are not affected.
Is it made by Samsung?
No. It is a brand new, OEM-quality front camera made to fit the Samsung Galaxy A52, and it is tested before dispatch.
Should I fit it myself?
We recommend professional installation. The back cover of a Galaxy A52 is glued, so it needs gentle heat and a thin pry tool, the battery must be disconnected first, and small flex cables are easy to damage.
How quickly will it arrive?
