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.

vivo Y15a

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.
