The Galaxy A32 sports a 6.4-inch Infinity-U AMOLED display with FHD+ resolution and a 90Hz refresh rate. The phone is powered by MediaTek's gaming-focused Helio G80 processor, which has been coupled with 6GB of RAM and 128GB of storage.

Around the back of the phone is a quad-camera setup with a 64MP primary sensor, an 8MP ultra-wide lens, a 5MP macro lens, and a 5MP depth sensor. The phone also includes a 20MP selfie camera, an in-display fingerprint sensor, NFC, a USB Type-C port, a 3.5mm headphone jack, and a large 5,000mAh battery with support for 15W fast charging.

The Galaxy A32 is now available to purchase in India for ₹21,999 ($302) in Awesome White, Awesome Blue, Awesome Black, and Awesome Violet color options. If you have an HDFC Bank credit or debit card, you can get a cashback of ₹2,000 on your purchase.

While the Galaxy A32 is undoubtedly a major improvement over its predecessor, it has been priced close to Xiaomi's Mi 10i in India, which is currently the best Android phone in the mid-range segment and offers much better specs.
