LineageOS 19 now available for Galaxy A52/A72 if you don’t like Samsung’s One UI 4.1
Earlier this year, LineageOS debuted its Android 12-based version – LineageOS 19 for several Android OS-powered smartphones. Now, the platform has extended LineageOS 19 support for two new Samsung devices including the Galaxy A52 LTE and Galaxy A72.

The LineageOS 19 provides you with a near-stock Android 12 feel, you just need to manually flash it in your A52 or A72.
