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.

ZTE Blade A53 Pro

The ZTE Blade A53 Pro - a budget smartphone that falls short on several fronts. With a subpar display resolution, outdated micro USB charging port, and questionable camera setup, this device struggles to justify its $150 price tag. Add to that a weak processor, limited storage, and no NFC or 5G capabilities, and you're left with a phone that feels like a major compromise. Can it still be considered a budget option, or is it simply not worth the money?
