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.
The Vivo Y15a is a budget phone released in November 2021, still available in the market. This review provides an impression of the device, highlighting its features and performance. The phone's design is sleek and modern, with a matte finish that resists fingerprints. It comes in two color options: wave green and mystic blue. The phone has a water drop notch display with a 720p resolution, which is acceptable for budget phones but not as sharp or colorful as higher-end devices. Performance-wise, the Vivo Y15a runs on an old Mediatek Helio P25 chip with 4GB of RAM, making it suitable for basic tasks like browsing and social media scrolling. However, gaming performance may be compromised, especially for demanding games like Call of Duty Mobile. The phone's battery life is strong, with a 5000mAh capacity that can last more than a day on light usage. The camera setup includes a 13MP primary sensor and a 2MP depth sensor, while the front camera has an 8MP resolution. Video recording capabilities are capped at 1080p for both rear and front cameras. The phone runs on FunTouch OS based on Android 12, but lacks customization options compared to higher-end devices. The Vivo Y15a has only one configuration: 4GB of RAM and 64GB of storage, priced at 7999 pesos. In comparison, the Y15s model with 3GB of RAM and 32GB of storage is available for 619 pesos. Overall, the Vivo Y15a offers decent performance and battery life but may not be suitable for demanding users or gamers due to its old processor and limited camera capabilities.
