Earlier this year, Samsung announced a Galaxy A32 5G smartphone, and now the company has brought an alternative version for LTE-only markets. The phone is called simply Samsung Galaxy A32 and is already on sale in Russia.
The differences between the two is beyond network support – the biggest change is the Helio G80 chipset substitutes the Dimensity 720. The 4G option also comes with a new screen, an improved main camera and a better selfie shooter.
The Samsung Galaxy A32 has an Infinity-U display with a 6.4-inch Super AMOLED panel on the front with Full HD+ resolution. The front-facing camera, tucked in the waterdrop notch has a 20MP sensor and f/2.2 lens, but no autofocus. Underneath the screen the fingerprint scanner, with the whole ensemble been protected by a Gorilla Glass 5 sheet.
On the back has the same looks – three shooters with their lenses protruding and no islands whatsoever. The Galaxy A32 brings a 64MP main cam vs 48MP for the 5G version, while the other three remain the same – 8MP ultrawide units and a couple of 5MP sensors for depth and macro.
The battery is 5,000 mAh with 15W fast charging capabilities through the USB-C port. The phone runs the One UI 3.1 out of the box, which is based on Android 11.
