Samsung Galaxy M32

The galaxy m32 2021 is the latest smartphone in the mid-range segment, and Samsung is the first to bring a 90 Hertz OLED panel in this price range.

This time they’ve experimented further with the design of the back panel to make it look more uniquely M Series. So, the phone retails for approximately 53,999 rupees for the base variant.

So real quick inside the box, I’ve got the 4GB blue-colored M32. I’ve got the type C cable, a 15-watt charger, although this supports 25-watt fast charging. You’ve got the ejection pin, and that’s pretty much it, no earphones, no protective casing, and no pre-applied screen protector.

Out of the box, the back panel is all plastic which is quite normal in this price segment, but it does not feel cheap. For sure, the vertical lines run along with the back panel on a very good-looking blue color and like most plastic bags.

A fingerprint magnet, so keeps in mind also this phone has a side-mounted physical fingerprint sensor which tends to be faster than you know. With the regular optical in-display fingerprint sensors, the side bezels are acceptably thin. Still, the chin continues to be on the thicker side.

I’m waiting for an M series phone to come with even slimmer bezels, something that looks more cutting edge.

You know, something more like flagship phones but still come with the M series price label that would be good, and you do get your headphone jack. But really, the highlight of the device is its display. Again, a 90 hertz OLED display is the first of its kind that you know you get in this price segment.

The AMOLED panel is super punchy colorful, and it’s known for its, you know, vivid colors and Samsung displays have always been about it. So there’s no doubt that the display is superb, and the 90 hertz makes everyday use feel a lot smoother and faster.

A few experiments and studies have shown that a 90 hertz OLED or AMOLED panel can be better in a few aspects than a 120 hertz LCD panel. Especially in terms of response time and blur-free imagery, gaming, for example, on this device, would be better than on a 120 hertz LCD panel.

In terms of clarity and response time so you know that gun you fire would be a tad bit faster on this 90-hertz OLED panel than it would be on a 120 hertz LCD panel. And a display can go up to 800 Nits of peak brightness which is again one of the brightest displays you can get in this price segment. But 800 Nits is only when the phone kicks into high brightness mode. So that happens when you know your environment is very bright, like really hard sunshine if you’re looking for the brightest display in this price segment.

The Samsung Galaxy M32 is it, and by the way, it comes with gorilla glass 5, so it’s pretty strong display protection.

Moving into the software side of things, the Galaxy M32 comes loaded with android 11 one UI 3.1.

So you do get most of the bells and whistles that come with one UI. however, the important ones are that you get Samsung to pay mini, get the secure folder, and get a quick switch.

 You also get access to edge panels, so you can install more of these from the galaxy store and have fun with those. You also get Dolby ATMOS, but that only works if you’ve got, you know, a pair of earphones connected, and you get an always-on display as well. But just to bring to your attention, a few things are missing despite just having one UI 3.1 thing like link to windows edge lighting in-built screen recording Bixby routines.

These are all things that are not there on this phone. I’m not sure why Android 12 is going to come on this device. It is going to be upgradable to Android 12. we don’t know when but rest assured you’ll get that update.

Now let’s talk about performance. So the Galaxy M32 is powered by a Mediatek G80 processor, an incrementally better or upgraded processor than what we saw with the Galaxy M31. Now for a mid-ranger, this performance is decent at most in regular day-to-day use. You won’t experience any hiccups launching apps and switching between them, and it’s quick and easy. It’s not super snappy, though. See, I’ve got the 4GB RAM variant apps that were open long back. They shut down and refresh themselves.

When you launch them from the recent apps menu, it takes a while for them to load back. This is because they’re open for the first time, so I would recommend that you get the 6GB variant to ensure that you get smoother performance.

Now I tried playing a few games on the device, and I did not face any issue. However, despite this being on the 4GB variant, I did push the graphic quality to medium and frame rate too high on Call Of Duty, and the Gameplay was smooth.

I had no issues while playing. There were no frame drops, no hiccups of any sort. It was fine. This does not have stereo speakers, so just the bottom-firing speakers are the actual speakers. The earpiece is just for phone calls.

Now battery, so the M series phones have always been known for humongous battery capacities, and the M32 is no exception. I mean, it comes with 6000 milliampere-hours, which is still a lot of battery capacity, and this one comes with a Mediatek G80 processor, which is not as power-hungry. So the battery’s efficiency means it can last longer without sucking up too much power. Right, so I mean, this will last you through the day. Of course, you’ll be hard-pressed to drain the battery on the same day, but with moderate usage, you can almost stretch it out for two days, and that’s great.

Finally, coming on to the camera, you’ve got the specs right here in front of you. It’s a quad-camera setup but let me take you through some pictures and samples that I took real quick. So these are the ones that I took using the primary lens, and of course, these are outdoors in ample sunlight more towards the evening, but yeah, the pictures came out well.

I mean, surprisingly well, for a mid-range phone now when it comes to indoors with lesser lighting, there is a bit of a struggle, you know. For example, this image got overexposed, but yeah, you can make some tweaks and balances to get the right picture.

 Here’s a side-by-side comparison of photos taken using the primary lens and the ultra-wide lens from the same spot now. The ultra-wide lens tends to have a better dynamic range in general, but the quality of the ultra-wide lens is not that good.

It’s an 8-megapixel camera, and it doesn’t do a great job like this is the primary photo. This is what the ultra-wide photo came out that I felt was a little inferior in quality.

These are shots I took using the portrait mode, and you can see that the background blurring is beautiful. It’s banging on. I mean, these pictures have come out so well.

I was amazed at the phone’s capability of separating the background and the foreground. Here are some shots I took using the macro lens, and whether you use it or not, I have shared some samples.

For the few of you who think macro lenses are something that you’re going to be using, here are some samples for that. In the front, you get a 20-megapixel selfie camera which I think does a pretty good job.

 So I took two photos, one where the light was in front of me and another one where the light was behind me. I think the camera did a pretty good job of, you know, detecting my face and being able to capture a picture with pretty decent skin tones. So and this is with portrait mode, where the background gets blurred. I think both were nice.

Now you also don’t get too many camera modes you get portrait mode in a few, you know, a handful of these and even within the pro mode.

You only get a few two weeks possible, so it’s not a full-fledged pro mode even in videos. You can only take up to 1080p videos at 30fps. So from a camera or a photography point of view, I have to say that it does take pretty good photos, you know.

If you’ve seen the samples, they don’t look bad at all. Still, it lacks modes that enable you to create different types of content, especially for social media.

You know, stuff like single take which is not there, for example, the pro model does not have too many options just a lack of super slo-mo, or you know all of that interesting stuff that can happen with photo modes or with you know camera modes can limit you in terms of.

You know how much content you want to create or the kind of content you want to create, so if all that is very important to you, I would recommend you know saving a bit more money and probably investing in a slightly higher budget smartphone, probably in A series that does offer more camera modes

so to conclude, if you’re looking for a phone with really good battery capacity and a really good display.

You’re hard-pressed to be in the 53,999 rupee budget. Look no further. The galaxy M32 is the best bet you’ve got, and in this price segment, you cannot get a better, smoother, and brighter like 800 nits of peak brightness.

You’re not going to get it in this price segment; otherwise, also this is a dual sim, plus it has a storage slot so you can expand storage by one terabyte on top of the internal uh storage that you already have you can expand storage that way, and that’s it guys on the Galaxy M32 first impressions.
