Debuting since March, the Galaxy A32 has left a lasting impression with its commendable hardware specs, youthful design, and impressive battery life. Notably, the Galaxy A32 stands out as one of Samsung's pioneering mid-range smartphones equipped with a high refresh rate display.
The amalgamation of these factors has bestowed upon me an exceptional user experience on the Galaxy A32. Below is a detailed sharing of my journey.
The display is the primary reason behind my choice of the Galaxy A32.
A worthwhile smartphone purchase undoubtedly necessitates a display with excellent visual quality. After all, this is the component you interact with daily.
The Galaxy A32 boasts a Super AMOLED panel with Full HD+ resolution, spanning a sizable 6.4 inches. Samsung retains its Infinity-U display style, optimizing display real estate to the fullest extent.
Overall, while it's slightly disappointing that the A32 hasn't transitioned to a full-fledged Infinity-O punch-hole display like its predecessors, Samsung compensates with outstanding display quality, notably a 90Hz refresh rate.
The A32's display boasts vibrant colors, excellent contrast, high brightness for outdoor use, and the 90Hz refresh rate generally delivers a smooth experience when navigating social media apps, reading news on Google, etc. However, there are occasional slight stutters, likely due to the device's moderate specifications at this price point.
Minimalistic design, elegant colors
In recent years, Samsung has continuously revamped the design of its Galaxy A series, and with the Galaxy A32, the first thing I noticed was its remarkably beautiful back panel.
Looking at the back panel, we can appreciate the unique arrangement of the camera module, no longer a bulky protrusion housing all sensors. Instead, what we have are three protruding sensors, a recessed macro camera, and a flash, affectionately referred to as pearls.
Regarding the color scheme, I find myself preferring this solid color style over the gradient multicolor schemes, which seemed a bit overwhelming on the 2020 A series. The black variant I'm holding here exudes a sleek and sophisticated feel.
The edges and back are crafted from plastic but polished to a shine, giving them a beauty that rivals glass or metal from afar. The edges and corners are gently curved, so I don't feel any discomfort when holding it upright or rotating it horizontally to watch movies.
Elevating the camera experience with 64 MP resolution
The most significant upgrade of the Galaxy A32 is the 64 MP sensor, replacing the 48 MP of the A31. The remaining cameras include an 8 MP wide-angle camera, a macro camera, and a 5 MP depth sensor. The front still houses a 20 MP selfie camera.
Speaking of photo quality, the Galaxy A32 effortlessly captures excellent photos in well-lit conditions, during daylight. The resulting images boast vibrant, eye-catching colors.
In low light conditions, under complex lighting, the overall photo quality remains decent. The software processing smoothens the images to reduce noise, albeit sacrificing some details in the process. This leans towards processing, requiring trade-offs.
The wide-angle and macro sensors almost always perform their tasks well, providing versatile shooting modes depending on the context. For more details on everything the A32 can do, 24h Technology has a dedicated camera review article, which you can check out via the link below.
Performance caps at an acceptable level, compensated by impressive battery life
Samsung equips the Galaxy A32 with the Helio G80 processor, which I'd say is decent but not quite as robust compared to its competitors in the segment.
This chip still handles simple tasks well, like checking emails, smoothly browsing Facebook, and playing lightweight games such as Temple Run, Candy Crush Saga, etc. I tested it with Arena of Valor, and the device maintained a decent 30 FPS.
However, the device earns points for its generous 6 GB RAM and 128 GB internal storage, providing ample room for multitasking and storage.
Particularly noteworthy is the impressive battery life, capable of lasting up to 2 days thanks to the 5,000 mAh battery, with support for 15W fast charging.
Galaxy A32: The Choice of the Youth
All in all, what impresses me most about the Galaxy A32 is its beautiful design, responsive 90Hz AMOLED display, and long-lasting battery life, alleviating concerns about running out of battery during work.
Furthermore, being an authentic Samsung Vietnam product, it comes with numerous benefits. Galaxy Gifts offer many discount vouchers, allowing me to enjoy discounts of up to 40,000 VND at Highland or Phuc Long.
With such advantages, I believe this will be a very worthwhile choice for the younger generation, providing a stable experience at an easily accessible price point.
