The price looks okay here for the 128gb black version. Also comes with a free month of Kogan mobile if you're into it. I would probably jump onto it if I wasn't waiting out for a Xiaomi 11 lite 5g myself. Has Sd slot, OIS, decent snapdragon. 6.5".
Although the Poco X3 Pro is always a consideration atm, being $299 at Banggood. Just feel that the phone is a bit weighty, and screen a bit big.
Kogan does list it as low stock as of posting however, so take that as you will.

Just pay $99 extra for this via Samsung Store - Samsung Galaxy A52 5G 256GB $629

See screenshot.
Or A72 4G 256GB at same price
Or A52 4G 128GB version for $499
Based on my experience, would not recommend Kogan
How does it compare to S21
Well you are comparing a phone that is half to one third of the price of an S21 (depending on what version you get).
I've found it fine in every aspect except for the vibration motor. I like having the haptic feedback on key presses and this phone vibrates the whole phone for every press or gesture etc.
It would probably be great for anyone upgrading from another mid-range phone, but for me coming from an S20 that I used to use for work, it's enough of a dealbreaker for me to return it.
POCO F3 is the one you would consider, not x3 pro. IMO.
Grey import. No Samsung Australia warranty.
Have fun dealing with Kogan.
