Samsung Galaxy A32

The Samsung Galaxy A32 is a mid-range device that packs more value than ever before in its higher-tier models. However, whether the same can be said about the Galaxy A32's lower-end variant remains to be seen. The phone's design is conservative and compact for a modern smartphone. The back panel features camera bumps for the four-camera setup, which includes a 64MP primary sensor, an 8MP ultra-wide-angle camera, a 5MP macro camera, and a depth sensor. The display is a 6.4-inch Super AMOLED panel with a 1080p resolution and a fast 90Hz refresh rate. The A32's display is its most attractive feature, with excellent brightness levels and accurate color representation. However, it lacks official support for HDR video and the bezels are somewhat thick. The phone's performance is driven by a Mediatek Helio G80 chipset, which, while not slow, falls short of expectations in CPU and GPU benchmarks. Battery life is impressive, with an endurance rating of 119 hours, thanks to the large 5000mAh battery. However, charging speed is relatively slow, taking around half an hour to reach 25% charge. The phone's camera performance is decent, with good daylight photos from the primary sensor, but lacking in low-light shots and video recording. Overall, the Samsung Galaxy A32 offers a great high-refresh-rate AMOLED display and solid software support, but falls short in its chipset performance and speaker quality. While it may not be the best option at this price point, it's still a decent choice for those who want a Samsung phone with these features.

Ulefone Note 12

The Ulefone Note 12 is a basic smartphone that excels in providing a good camera experience, decent battery life, and standard features. The phone has a large screen for enjoying videos and pictures, a 13MP main camera, and an additional 2MP depth sensor, which takes great snapshots. The battery life is impressive with up to seven hours of continuous video playback. The Note 12 also features a 3.5mm headphone jack, Bluetooth connectivity, airplane mode, long screenshot, flashlights, and auto rotate, making it a standard smartphone in terms of features. However, the phone's design may not be for everyone due to its heavy weight, which might make it uncomfortable to carry. While the Note 12 is not the most techy or feature-rich smartphone on the market, it makes up for it with its good camera quality and impressive battery life. The phone's durability remains to be seen after prolonged use, but it shows promise as a budget-friendly option for those seeking a basic yet functional smartphone experience. In terms of design, the Ulefone Note 12 has three cameras on the back and a decent build quality. However, its weight may be a drawback for some users who prefer lighter smartphones. Overall, the Note 12 is a solid choice for those looking for a budget-friendly option with good camera capabilities and decent battery life. This phone's biggest selling point lies in its ability to provide all the basic features one would expect from a smartphone while also boasting an impressive battery life.
