I bought the A52 and I am really happy with it. My friends have the XS and I think it performs well as well. I think the specs are so similar that it comes down to what a person likes most, Android or IOS. Another factor that decided it for me is the software and security updates that both phones get. The A52 gets more of these updates, aided by the fact that it was releases 2 to 3 years after the XS. All in all, the phones have similar specs, so I think it comes down to personal preference.
