Samsung A32 5G

Samsung A32 5G Review

Initial Impressions

  • Price Point: At $100, the Samsung A32 5G offers impressive performance.
  • Performance Comparison: It matches or exceeds the iPhone 11 in most areas, except for screen display quality, which falls short compared to Samsung's usual high standards.

Display

  • Screen Quality: The 6.5" TFT LCD (720 x 1600 pixels, 60Hz) display is a letdown considering Samsung's reputation for AMOLED screens, particularly when streaming high-quality video is essential today.
  • Nostalgia for AMOLED: The user misses the AMOLED screens of older models like the Note 4 and S8+, recognizing the significant impact of display quality on the overall experience.

Longevity

  • Two-Year Review: After two years, the A32 5G remains responsive and snappy, comparable to the newer A15 5G. This durability highlights the benefits of investing in quality devices.
  • Comparison with A15: The main distinction is the AMOLED display on the A15, which users increasingly prioritize over raw performance.

Use Cases

  • Backup Device: The A32 functions well as a backup phone, suitable for light usage and video streaming, reducing wear on the primary iPhone 16.
  • Android 13 Compatibility: It maintains backward compatibility with older apps, providing added utility for legacy app users.
