Samsung Galaxy A32 4G is the mid-range device under the Galaxy A series. Samsung has already released the Samsung Galaxy A32 5G in Europe as the world’s cheapest 5G phone. However, the company also released the 4G version of the device in countries with less or no 5G infrastructures.
After launching the Samsung Galaxy A72 and the Samsung Galaxy A52 in Nepal, Samsung is back again with another Galaxy A series member, the Samsung Galaxy A32 4G. The official price of the device is set at Rs. 31,999 for the 6 GB RAM and 128 GB memory configuration.
Samsung Galaxy A32 4G Overview
The Samsung Galaxy A32 4G shared many of the features with the 5G version of the device, like camera setup and more. However, it also offers different features and hardware, namely different processors.
Design & Display
Design-wise, the Galaxy A32 is virtually identical to the Galaxy A32 5G. The back panel has a smooth finish, with each camera housed separately without any camera bump. The device measures about 8.4 mm in thickness and weighs around 184 grams.
However, there is a massive upgrade in terms of the display from the 5G version. The Galaxy A32 offers a 6.4 inch Super AMOLED display with an FHD+ resolution of 1080 x 2400 pixels, while the 5G version offers a TFT display with an HD+ resolution of 720 x 1600 pixels. The screen features an infinity-U notch to house the selfie camera, while the 5G version features an infinity-V notch.
The screen has a higher refresh rate of 90 Hz and a peak brightness of 800 nits. Samsung has opted for an in-display fingerprint sensor in the phone and ditched the physical side-mounted fingerprint sensor in the 5G version.
Performance and Memory
The Galaxy A32 is powered by the MediaTek Helio G80 processor and Mali-G52 MC2 GPU. Note that the 5G version has Mediatek Dimensity 720 processor. It is weird that Samsung has opted for such an underperforming chipset for the device of this stature and price.
It is available in the memory configuration of 4 and 6 GB RAM option with up to 128 GB of internal storage. However, users do get an option to extend the device’s storage up to 1 TB with a dedicated microSD card slot. For the software, it runs on OneUI 3.1 based on Android 11 out of the box.
Camera
Like the 5G version, the Galaxy A32 also features a quad camera setup on the back. However, the primary camera has been bumped from 48 MP in the 5G version to 64 MP with an f/1.8 aperture. The rear camera setup also features an 8MP ultra-wide camera of f/2.2 aperture, a 5 MP macro lens of f/2.4 aperture, and a 5 MP depth sensor with f/2.4 aperture. Similarly, the selfie camera also has been upgraded to 20 MP with an f/2.2 aperture.
Samsung has introduced a new feature called intelligent detection, which automatically detects blurry shots, closed eyes, and more. The rear camera in the device is capable of taking up to 4K videos at 30 fps, and the selfie camera can take up to 1080p videos at 30 fps.
Battery and Others
The device packs a 5000 mAH battery with support for 15W fast charging technology over USB Type C. Although 5000 mAH battery is massive, Samsung already provides up to 7000 mAH battery in its cheaper Galaxy M series devices. The device offers dual-band wi-fi, Bluetooth 5.0, USB Type C, and a 3.5mm headphone jack for connectivity options.
