Samsung Galaxy M32

The Samsung Galaxy M32 is a decent mid-range smartphone that excels in everyday use. Its 6.5-inch Super AMOLED display with 90Hz refresh rate is a highlight, offering vibrant colors and smooth visuals. The One UI launcher experience is also commendable, although it may feel cluttered due to the abundance of pre-installed apps. The quad-camera setup on the back features a 64MP primary sensor that captures great photos in good lighting conditions. Details are preserved well, and colors appear natural. However, low-light performance is a letdown, with grainy or fuzzy images often resulting from the night mode. The ultra-wide-angle lens can introduce distortion and warmer colors. The front camera is decent, taking detailed selfies even in harsh light. Portrait mode works well, but nighttime photography is poor. Battery life is impressive, with a 5,000mAh battery that easily lasts a day of heavy use. Charging is fast via the Type-C port, although wireless charging is not available. One notable issue is the GPS functionality, which seemed to malfunction during testing. Overall, this is an average smartphone that should be considered for those seeking a reliable device for everyday use. In terms of performance, there's some slowdown and jankiness, particularly when using multiple apps simultaneously. However, for most users, this won't be a major concern. Compared to other mid-range options like the Xiaomi Redmi Note 10 Pro, the Galaxy M32 is a solid choice, offering similar features at a competitive price. Overall, it's not a bad phone for the price, but it's not exceptional either. For casual users who want a reliable device without breaking the bank, the Samsung Galaxy M32 could be worth considering.

Samsung Galaxy M12

The Samsung Galaxy M12 is an entry-level smartphone with a starting price of Rs. 11,000. It boasts a 90Hz display, a massive 6,000mAh battery, and a true 48-megapixel camera. The phone also features an 8-nanometer Exynos 850 chipset, making it one of the first phones in its segment to do so. The device has a plastic back with a quad-camera setup, which provides a nostalgic design with a textured pattern for better grip. However, the build quality is not great, and the phone's thickness makes it difficult to use with one hand. The power button doubles as a fingerprint sensor, which is faster and more reliable than in-display sensors. The 6.5-inch LCD display offers smooth scrolling experiences when not occupied by intense processes. However, the refresh rate drops to 60Hz during such instances, making it less seamless. The display's peak brightness of 400 nits may also struggle with outdoor usage in bright sunlight. In terms of performance, the phone's Exynos 850 chipset is designed for power efficiency rather than raw speed. While gaming and multitasking are decent, regular tasks take some time to process. The phone runs on Android 11 with One UI Core 3.1, which has limited features due to hardware constraints. The camera setup includes a quad-camera configuration with an 8-megapixel front camera. Samples show that the primary camera produces better results than the ultra-wide lens, but both have their strengths and weaknesses. The phone also supports macro shots and basic video recording capabilities. Overall, the Galaxy M12 offers a smooth display experience, battery efficiency, and decent camera performance in its price segment.
