Since its debut in March, the Galaxy A32 has left a lasting impression with its solid hardware specs, youthful design, and massive battery capacity. Notably, the Galaxy A32 stands out as one of Samsung's first mid-range smartphones equipped with a high refresh rate display.
Combining these factors has resulted in an outstanding user experience on the Galaxy A32. Here's a detailed account of my findings.
The main screen is the primary reason why I opted for the Galaxy A32.
A worthwhile smartphone purchase undoubtedly necessitates a display with excellent visual quality. Because you'll be looking at and interacting with this component daily.
The Galaxy A32 boasts a Super AMOLED panel with Full HD+ resolution, measuring a sizable 6.4 inches. Samsung continues to employ the Infinity-U display design, optimizing the display space to the maximum.
Overall, it's a bit disappointing that the A32 didn't upgrade to the hole-punch Infinity-O display like its predecessors. However, Samsung compensates with another impressive feature - excellent display quality, particularly with a 90Hz refresh rate.
The A32 display boasts vibrant colors, excellent contrast, and high brightness, making it suitable for outdoor use. The 90Hz refresh rate still delivers a smooth experience when swiping through social media apps, reading articles on Google, etc., although occasional slight lagging may occur due to the device's moderate specifications at this price point.
Minimalist design, elegant colors
In recent years, Samsung has continuously revamped the design of the Galaxy A series, and with the Galaxy A32, the first thing I noticed was its exceptionally beautiful rear panel.
Looking at the back, you'll notice a unique arrangement of the camera cluster, no longer a large protruding module to house all the sensors. Instead, what we have are three slightly raised sensors, a sunken macro camera, and a flash - affectionately referred to as tapioca pearls by some.
Regarding the color scheme, I find myself preferring this solid color style over the multicolor gradient seen in the 2020 A series. The black version I have here gives off a very sleek and elegant vibe.
The edges and back are crafted from plastic but polished to a shine, giving off a beautiful appearance from afar comparable to glass or metal. The edges and corners are gently rounded, so I don't feel any discomfort when holding vertically or horizontally for watching movies.
Elevating the camera experience with 64 MP resolution
The biggest upgrade of the Galaxy A32 is the 64 MP sensor replacing the 48 MP of the A31. Other cameras include an 8 MP wide-angle camera, a macro camera, and a 5 MP depth sensor. The front still features a 20 MP selfie sensor.
Speaking of photo quality, the Galaxy A32 easily captures stunning photos in well-lit conditions during the day, resulting in vibrant, eye-catching colors.
In low light conditions or complex lighting situations, the overall photo quality remains acceptable. The processing software makes the photos appear smoother to reduce noise, but this comes at the expense of sacrificing details, which is a trade-off inherent to processing.
The wide-angle and macro sensors almost always fulfill their roles well, offering versatility with various shooting modes depending on the context. For more details on everything the A32 can do, check out the dedicated camera review by 24h Cong nghe at the link below.
Performance stops at a decent level, but compensates with impressive battery life
Samsung equips the Galaxy A32 with the Helio G80 processor, which I'd say is decent, but not quite as powerful in its segment compared to other competitors.
This chip still handles simple tasks like checking email, smoothly browsing Facebook, and playing lightweight games such as Temple Run, Candy Crush Saga, etc. I've tested it with Arena of Valor, and the device still performs decently at around 30 FPS.
However, the device also has its upsides with a whopping 6 GB RAM and 128 GB internal storage, providing plenty of room for multitasking and storage.
Special mention must be made of the impressive battery life, 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
In conclusion, what impresses me the 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.
Moreover, being an authentic Samsung Vietnam product comes with numerous perks. Galaxy Gifts provide many discounts and vouchers, allowing me to enjoy discounts of up to 40,000 VND at Highland or Phuc Long.
With such advantages, I firmly believe that this will be a highly worthwhile choice for the youth, providing a stable experience at an accessible price point.
