Design and Display
The M32 5G design may look different from what is being offered on its 4G sibling, however, making a comparison with Samsung smartphones at large shows that this design isn’t new. Comparing it to the Samsung Galaxy A32 5G consolidates this fact.
On the rear, we have an array of three cameras beside an extra camera and an LED flash, and beneath we have the Samsung branding, which indicates it’s a Samsung smartphone. Just like we saw on the A32 5G.
However, comparing the rear colour options shows disparities, the A32 5G comes in Awesome Black, Awesome White, Awesome Blue, Awesome Violet, while the Galaxy M32 5G comes in Slate Black and Sky Blue.
Moving up front, we have a 6.5-inch IPS LCD with a drop notch, which is basically the same as the A32 5G. This display has a resolution of 720 x 1600 pixels and a density of 270 PPI.
Comparing this display to the 1080p display with a 90Hz refresh rate on the standard M32 shows the M32 5G actually fell short here, which is something to take into consideration.
The Cameras
As discussed in the introductory paragraph, the Cameras on the Samsung Galaxy M32 5G aren’t as capable as the ones on the Galaxy M32, however, this doesn’t mean it wouldn’t churn out good photos and videos.
The rear department here features a 48MP primary camera, an 8MP ultrawide camera with a 123˚ field of view, a 5MP macro camera, and a 2MP depth camera. In lieu of the 64MP + 8MP + 2MP + 2MP set up on the standard M32.
Moving on to the front camera setup reveals a single 13MP camera as opposed to the 2OMP on its non-5G sibling.
Hardware and Software
On the performance side, the Samsung Galaxy M32 5G rocks the MediaTek Dimensity 720 5G processor in lieu of the MediaTek Helio G80 processor on its non-5G sibling.
We also have the Mali-G57 MC3 GPU 6GB / 8GB RAM options, as opposed to 4GB / 6GB options, we have just 128GB storage, a smaller 5000mAh battery compared to the 6000mAh battery on the standard M32.
On the software side, we have the One UI 3.1 user interface running on the Android 11 operating system.
