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 12P

The Ulefone Note 12P is another iteration of the company's Note series, boasting impressive specs for its price point. The device features a massive 7,700mAh battery, a 6.82-inch display with a relatively low resolution of 720p, and a Unisoc SC9863A processor that's likely to be power-hungry. Despite its impressive battery life, the Note 12P struggles to run certain games smoothly, particularly at higher settings. The device also falls short in terms of camera quality, with poor image and video recording capabilities, as well as mono sound. The microphone picks up sound poorly, and the phone's screen is a fingerprint magnet. One redeeming aspect of the Note 12P is its ability to run on the Google Play Store, which means users can access regular security updates and other apps without any issues. However, with Xiaomi's Redmi series offering similar specs at lower price points, the Note 12P may struggle to hold its value in the long term. Overall, the Ulefone Note 12P is a basic phone that excels at providing long battery life but falls short in terms of overall performance and features. While it may be a good option for those looking for a simple device with access to Google Play Store updates, buyers should expect some compromises on camera quality, display resolution, and sound capabilities. The Note 12P's biggest weakness is its reliance on an outdated processor that consumes too much power. This results in limited performance and battery life that's not as impressive as the manufacturer claims. Despite this, the phone remains a viable option for those seeking a basic device with decent specs at an affordable price point.
