Last month, Samsung launched its cheapest 5G smartphone of 2021 dubbed Galaxy A32 5G. Well, the South Korean giant has now released an LTE version of the smartphone. The LTE version of the smartphone simply goes by the name of Galaxy A32. Samsung has launched the smartphone in the Russian market and might soon bring it to more regions. While you might be expecting some subtle differences, it turns out both the devices are different in various aspects. Let’s find out.
Galaxy A32 4G comes with new chipsets, a new display, improved optics and more!
The all-new Galaxy A32 4G smartphone features a 6.4-inch Super AMOLED Infinity-U display with Full HD+ resolution. If you’re unaware, Infinity-U is nothing but a U-shaped waterdrop notch. Going by the trend, the display has an in-display optical fingerprint sensor. For an added protection, we’re looking at a Gorilla Glass 5 protection.
While Galaxy A32 5G is the company’s cheapest 5G smartphone, the A32 4G is the company’s first mid-range to arrive with a 90Hz refresh panel. This means that the original 5G version sticks to the standard 60Hz panel. Under the hood, the smartphone runs on MediaTek Helio G80 SoC instead of the Dimensity 720 chipset found in the 5G version. The chipset is paired with up to 8GB RAM and up to 128GB built-in storage. The device also supports a microSD card slot expandable.

There’s a 20MP selfie camera housed inside the notch with an aperture of f/2.2. All of these are backed by a 5,000mAh battery that can easily refuel with 15W fast charging.
Other specifications include a dual-SIM card slot, GPS, dual-band WiFi, Bluetooth 5.0, Type-C port, and a headphone jack. We’re also looking at Samsung Pay and Samsung Knox support.
