Galaxy A52s 5G: The All-Rounder Smartphone Marvel

With its 6.5" display and featherlight weight, the Galaxy A52s 5G phone fits snugly in your pocket without weighing you down during those campus treks. The Gorilla Glass 5 front and sturdy plastic back ensure durability for your on-the-go lifestyle.

The A52s packs a punch with its Qualcomm Snapdragon 778G 5G chipset and octa-core CPU. In simpler terms, it delivers smooth multitasking for your research, projects, and entertainment, all under the umbrella of Android 11 (upgradeable to Android 13) with the user-friendly One UI 5.

Your photo game is about to level up from the 64 MP main shooter to the versatile 12 MP ultrawide lens and a macro and depth sensor combo. The 32 MP selfie cam also brightens your Zoom calls and selfies.

One major win? This phone is future-proofed. The promise of three years of major Android updates and four years of security patches means you're in it for the long haul. Plus, with 5G support and a 120Hz display, your connection and visuals will be as snappy as your study skills.

Running on Android 10, upgradable to Android 13, the phone has an Exynos 990 chipset and an octa-core CPU, delivering smooth performance for multitasking and apps.

Capture your memories vividly with its camera setup. The 12 MP wide, 8 MP telephoto, and 12 MP ultrawide lens guarantee stunning photos. Plus, the 32 MP front camera is perfect for those selfie moments.

Xiaomi Redmi Note 11 Pro 5G: Power-Packed Performance

Another must-have gadget for students is the Redmi Note 11 Pro 5G. The glass front and back of this phone, protected by Gorilla Glass 5, give it a premium feel. It's even dust and splash resistant with its IP53 rating - perfect for those accidental spills!

Running on Android 11 with MIUI 13, this phone boasts a Qualcomm Snapdragon 695 5G chip, ensuring smooth performance. The octa-core CPU keeps things snappy, while the Adreno 619 GPU easily handles graphics.

The triple rear setup features a 108 MP main lens for stunning photos, an 8 MP ultra-wide lens, and a 2 MP macro lens. Selfies are covered with a 16 MP front camera. You're covered whether it's a group shot or a close-up detail.

But it's not just about photos. With its powerful stereo speakers, long-lasting battery, and quick charging, the Redmi Note 11 Pro is an all-in-one package for entertainment and productivity. Plus, you get the convenience of a 3.5mm headphone jack, microSD expansion, and FM radio.

Galaxy Tab A7 Lite (2021) LTE: Compact and Productive

Aside from smartphones,  a tablet is another essential for students, offering the flexibility to work on research projects and assignments on campus or at home.

This tablet may not have all the bells and whistles of flagship devices, but it offers incredible value for students.

With its compact design and expansive screen, the Tab A7 Lite is perfect for studying, reading, and even entertainment on the go. Running on Android 11, this tablet provides a user-friendly experience. The Mediatek Helio P22T chipset and an octa-core processor ensure smooth performance for your everyday tasks.

One standout feature is its expandable storage, allowing you to store your assignments, notes, and favorite content without worrying about space. The Galaxy Tab A7 Lite is a budget-friendly option that doesn't skimp on usability or software support since you'll receive updates for four years.


iPad 8 (2020) WiFi: Timeless Excellence

If you prefer an iOS tablet, an iPad is a must-have for you. Within the sleek 10.2-inch display of the iPad 8, the powerful Apple A12 Bionic processor ensures seamless app performance, whether browsing through notes or conducting online research.

The iPad 8 doesn't just stop at performance. Its 8 MP rear camera captures your moments with clarity, and its 1.2 MP front camera keeps you connected during virtual study sessions.

With iPadOS 14 and the upgradable iPadOS 16.6, your device stays up-to-date, providing a secure and intuitive study environment. The Apple GPU (4-core graphics) ensures your gaming adventures are equally smooth.

Whether you're flipping through e-books, browsing the web, or enjoying downtime gaming, the iPad 8 has covered you. Just a quick reminder: adapters and cables are not included when purchasing via CompAsia, so ensure those essentials are on hand.
