October 2021 security update finally reaches the Galaxy A72

Last month, Samsung released the October 2021 security update to dozens of Galaxy smartphones and tablets, but the Galaxy A72 missed out. The South Korean firm has now released the security patch to the Galaxy A72 in a few markets.

The latest update for the Galaxy A72 has firmware version A725FXXU4AUJ2, and it includes the October 2021 security patch. According to Samsung’s documentation, the security patch fixes more than 60 privacy and security-related vulnerabilities found in Galaxy smartphones and tablets. The update might also contain device stability improvements and general bug fixes.

If you are a Galaxy A72 user in Russia, you might have received a notification regarding the new update. If you haven’t received it yet, you can check for it manually by navigating to Settings » Software update and tapping on Download and install. You can also download the latest firmware file from our database and flash it manually.

Samsung had launched the Galaxy A72 earlier this year alongside the Galaxy A52 and the Galaxy A52 5G. The phone came running Android 11-based One UI 3.0 out of the box and will get three major Android OS updates.

Galaxy A32 5G gets November 2021 security update

Samsung started rolling out the November 2021 security update a few days ago, but only a handful of devices have received the update. Last week, the Galaxy A32 got the new security patch, and now the company has released the update to the Galaxy A32 5G.

The latest update for the Galaxy A32 5G comes with firmware version A326BXXU4AUJ6. It is currently available in the Philippines, but we expect Samsung to expand the reach of the update to more markets in the coming weeks. The new update brings the November 2021 security patch that includes 25 fixes from Google and 13 fixes from Samsung for vulnerabilities present in Galaxy devices.

While we don’t have the official changelog for the update yet, Samsung usually includes general bug fixes and device stability improvements with new firmware updates.

If you are a Galaxy A32 5G user in the Philippines, you can check for the new update by navigating to Settings » Software update and tapping on Download and install. You can also download the latest firmware file from our firmware database and flash it manually using a Windows computer.

Samsung had launched the Galaxy A32 5G in February 2021 with Android 11-based One UI 3.0 onboard. The phone will receive at least two major Android OS updates. It gets quarterly security updates from the company.

Samsung needs to make another tablet like the excellent Galaxy Tab S5e

Samsung’s dominating the Android tablet market, especially at the high-cost end of the spectrum, and it’s been doing so for a few good years now. The Galaxy Tab S7 and S7+ are excellent flagship tablets, as they build upon the foundation that was laid down by the Galaxy Tab S6 series and its predecessors. There’s a strong sense of legacy that Samsung managed to build around its high-end tablets, but on the other hand, the company doesn’t seem to have the same grasp on the mid-range segment.

The Galaxy Tab S7 FE is decent but not necessarily fit for the “Fan Edition” brand or the price, and the Galaxy Tab S6 Lite that came before it was an even bigger letdown. Interestingly, this means that the last great mid-range tablet that came out of Samsung’s factory gates is the Galaxy Tab S5e.

Forget Fan Edition and Lite models. Bring back the ‘e‘

Over the past couple of years, Samsung’s upper-mid-range product portfolio transitioned from e-branded Galaxy spinoffs to Lite models and later to Fan Edition devices. This transition happened across both the mid-range smartphone and tablet markets, but it didn’t happen exactly the same way. In other words, it seems more like a coincidence than the result of careful planning.

Similar to the Galaxy Tab S5e, Tab S6 Lite, and Tab S7 FE, Samsung’s flagship smartphone series went from the Galaxy S10e to the Galaxy S10 Lite and later the Galaxy S20 FE.

However, while Samsung’s mid-range smartphones progressed through these stages, its tablets haven’t, and the Galaxy Tab S5e arguably remains its most complete mid-range tablet to this day — save for the lack of an S Pen.

Unlike the newer Lite and FE-branded tablets, the Galaxy Tab S5e benefits from a wider range of features that punch above its price range. It has Super AMOLED display technology instead of TFT, and it’s equipped with a fingerprint scanner. It has higher-resolution cameras at the front and back, and it boasts quad speakers instead of only two stereo speakers.

Despite these advantages, the Galaxy Tab S5e also manages to be lighter (at 400 grams) and thinner (5.5mm) than later models. Really, the main thing that’s missing from the Galaxy Tab S5e experience is the S Pen and a few software goodies to complete the package.

The future is uncertain. We’ll have to wait and see what Samsung has in store for the mid-range tablet market come next year, but as far as we’re concerned, we’re rooting for the company to release a new e-branded model as a proper sequel to the Galaxy Tab S5e. Forget the disappointing Lite model and the underwhelming Fan Edition! The Galaxy Tab S5e already had the winning formula, and Samsung only had to adapt it for a newer generation. It didn’t quite manage to do that when it switched to the Lite and FE brands, but we’re hoping for a change next year.

Samsung announces pair of jeans with a dedicated Galaxy Z Flip 3 pocket

Samsung has announced a new fashion collaboration revolving around the Galaxy Z Flip 3, and it’s rather unusual compared to the limited edition variants and accessories we usually get. Samsung has partnered with Australia’s most beloved brand of jeans, Dr Denim, and has just announced a new pair of limited-run jeans that embrace and celebrate the unique folding form factor of the Galaxy Z Flip 3. They come with a special pocket.

The main advantage of a folding phone is the reduced footprint. Thanks to its clamshell design, the Galaxy Z Flip 3 is one of the most compact smartphones ever created — at least when folded shut.

Dr Denim apparently views the Galaxy Z Flip 3 as a trendsetter that could negate the benefits of having large, uncomfortable rectangular pants pockets. The fashion house applied this philosophy to a new pair of Z-labeled jeans, and it came up with a design that features a small pocket. It’s sized perfectly for the Galaxy Z Flip 3 to fit in.

The Z Flip Pocket Denim jeans come with a Galaxy Z Flip 3

The Z Flip Pocket Denim jeans cost $1,499 a pair. It may seem like they cost more than the phone itself, but that’s not the case. The $1,499 price includes a pair of Z Flip Pocket Denim jeans as well as the Galaxy Z Flip 3 to place in its unique pocket.

Dr Denim will manufacture only 450 pairs of Z Flip Pocket Denim jeans, but who knows?! Perhaps the Galaxy Z Flip 3 will redefine fashion trends and mark the end of baggy pockets.

Samsung’s fashion collaborations for foldables have so far led to the release of limited-edition versions of said devices — such as the Thom Browne Edition. But as foldable phones become more popular, Samsung could start approaching fashion collabs in different creative ways.

Leaked info from ex-Samsung employee brings Galaxy S22 to life in renders

Samsung is expected to reveal three Galaxy S22 flagship models in February next year. The Galaxy S22 Ultra has been the subject of numerous controversial leaked renders so far, while the other two models haven’t been as much in the headlines. That’s about to change.

New high-definition renders depicting the alleged Galaxy S22 design emerged via LetsGoDigital. More importantly, the renders have reportedly been created based on information obtained from a former Samsung employee known as Super Roader.

Refined Galaxy S21 design

There’s no other way to put it. Judging by these renders, the Galaxy S22 and Galaxy S22 Plus look very much like their predecessors, except they’re slightly more polished. They have thinner display bezels and arguably a slightly more refined camera housing that maintains the same overall look as before.

That’s a good thing, too. The Galaxy S21 series is universally praised for the main camera housing design, which is also why the early Galaxy S22 Ultra renders have caused as much controversy as they did. Thankfully, Samsung doesn’t seem to be rethinking everything for the entire Galaxy S22 series. The base and Plus models, at least, will refine the existing formula rather than replace it or change it drastically.

What do you think about the Galaxy S22 as seen in these renders? Leave a comment below and feel free to join our social media networks.

One UI 4.0 beta is open for Galaxy Z Flip 3 and Z Fold 3 customers in USA

Samsung Members have been able to test Android 12 and One UI 4.0 beta for the Galaxy Z Flip 3 and Galaxy Z Fold 3 since late last week, but initially, the beta program was limited to South Korea. It later launched in India, and we’re now hearing that the beta program is also open for Galaxy Z Flip 3 / Fold 3 customers in the USA.

If you’re waiting to join the One UI 4.0 beta program for the Galaxy Z 3 lineup in the USA, you probably already can, although you may have missed the invitation.

As usual, customers who want to participate in the beta program can sign up through the Samsung Members app, but as far as the Galaxy Z Flip 3 and Z Fold 3 go, the beta banner doesn’t seem to be showing up for everyone in the USA. Thankfully, if you’re facing this issue, there’s a quick solution.

Not seeing One UI 4.0 beta on the Galaxy Z Fold 3 / Flip 3? Try this

As @SamsungRydah highlights on Twitter, Galaxy Z Flip 3 and Z Fold 3 owners users in the USA want to join the One UI 4.0 beta program and can’t find the banner can refer to the Benefits tab inside the Samsung Members app and join from there. It’s as simple as that.

You can read about some of the changes brought over by One UI 4.0 here, though keep in mind that the firmware is not final. Some features might be incomplete in the beta build, and stability issues can occur.

If you use the Galaxy Z Flip 3 or Z Fold 3 as your daily smartphone and don’t have a backup phone, you may want to consider waiting for the first stable build to go live. There’s no official release date yet, as it will depend on how well the beta program goes.

Leaked photos confirm Galaxy S21 FE back panel and camera design

The Galaxy S21 FE won’t dodge the market for much longer. As SamMobile reported last week, Samsung plans to launch the Galaxy S21 FE in January at CES 2022. This places the phone two months away from its debut, and production already seems to be underway.

Renders depicting the alleged Galaxy S21 FE have emerged before, but the latest leak (via @MauriQHD) gives us a sneak preview of the phone’s back panel pre-assembly in real photos. We see three circular camera cutouts and one for the LED flash.

The camera housing is shaped as you would expect and resembles the Galaxy S21 and Galaxy s21+. The housing looks sunk in because it’s missing the decorative metallic component. At least in these pictures. In the final product, however, we expect the camera housing to protrude.

The Galaxy S21 FE is said to be sharing at least a couple of hardware components with the non-FE model. Even so, it won’t be exactly the same, and on the software side, it will likely ship with a newer version of Android OS and One UI 4.0.

Those three camera cutouts you see on the back panel are said to accommodate a 12MP main camera, a 12MP ultra-wide unit, and an 8MP telephoto shooter. We’ll find out more in January at CES 2022, if not earlier through leaks.

Where are Samsung phones made? It’s not where you think

Samsung is the biggest smartphone vendor on the planet. Data from multiple industry trackers showed that the company shipped nearly 300 million units just last year. As you can probably imagine, a vast manufacturing network is required to pump out over a quarter of a billion devices every year.

The company has factories in several countries across the globe. However, it doesn’t really make a difference what country Samsung phones are made in. Samsung maintains a single quality standard across all of its factories.

Where are Samsung Galaxy phones made

China

You’d think China would be where most Samsung Galaxy phones are made. China is the global manufacturing hub after all. It’s also where Apple gets the bulk of its iPhones manufactured. Not to mention the fact that Chinese OEMs have come to dominate the smartphone market.

Samsung actually shut down its last remaining smartphone factory in China this year. As of 2019, the company is not making any phones in the People’s Republic. It previously had two factories in China but as Samsung’s market share fell below 1% in the country, it had to scale back production. It no longer makes financial sense for Samsung to manufacture phones in China. Which is why it has now stopped doing that.

Vietnam

Vietnam is actually where Samsung phones are made, most of them anyway. Samsung’s manufacturing facility is located in Vietnam’s Thai Nguyen province where two factories are churning out smartphones, tablets and wearable devices. The company is in the process of adding another factory to the facility to further increase its production in the country. The existing factories produce 120 million units per year. Most of Samsung’s global supply, including for markets like North America and Europe, comes from Vietnam.

India

India not only has Samsung’s biggest mobile factory, but it’s also the largest mobile phone manufacturing unit in the world based on production capacity. Samsung had announced in 2017 that it would invest $620 million to double smartphone production in India. It inaugurated the factory in Noida, Uttar Pradesh, India in 2018. The production capacity of this factory is now at 120 million units per year.

Much of the supply is meant for the Indian market. It is one of the most lucrative smartphone markets for Samsung. Given the import taxes in the country, Samsung needs local production in order to effectively compete against its rivals on price. The company has been manufacturing its Galaxy M and Galaxy A series handsets here as well. However, Samsung may also export Indian-manufactured smartphones to markets in Europe, Africa and West Asia.

South Korea

Samsung does operate manufacturing facilities in its home country of South Korea. That’s also where most of the components that it sources from its sister companies are made. However, its smartphone production factory in South Korea accounts for less than 10 percent of global shipments. The units manufactured here are primarily meant for the company’s local market.

Brazil

Samsung operates a manufacturing facility in Brazil as well. It was set up back in 1999. More than 6,000 workers are employed at the factory from where Samsung supplies its smartphones to all of Latin America. With Brazil having high import taxes as well, local production also allows Samsung to offer its products in the country at a competitive price.

Indonesia

Indonesia is also a country where Samsung phones are made. It was a fairly recent decision by the company to start making phones in this country. The factory was opened in 2015 and has a production capacity of around 800,000 units per year. That’s sufficient enough for Samsung to cater to local demand.

How Samsung’s manufacturing priorities are changing

The smartphone market has significantly changed over the past decade. Chinese smartphone manufacturers have become highly competitive in all segments of the market. Samsung has had to adapt as it comes under increasing pressure.

This has led to a shift in the company’s manufacturing priorities. Samsung released its first ODM smartphone, the Galaxy A6s, in 2019. That device was manufactured by a third-party for the Chinese market. The ODM solution allows Samsung to improve its margins on affordable devices. It’s now expected to ship 60 million ODM smartphones in the near future to markets across the globe.

A larger shift to the ODM model would mean that Samsung won’t be utilizing all of the available production capacity that it has at its own factories. That’s unless shipments increase for the smartphone market overall and it’s able to increase its market share.

Where are original Samsung phones made?

There are some misconceptions about “original” Samsung phones based on the country of production. The abundance of misinformation online doesn’t help. To put it simply, all Samsung phones made at the company’s own factories or its ODM partners are “original.” It doesn’t matter if the factory is in South Korea or Brazil. A smartphone made at the factory in Vietnam isn’t inherently better than the one made in Indonesia.

That’s because these factories are only really assembling the devices. They all get the same components and follow the same manufacturing and quality processes. You don’t have to worry whether your Samsung phone is original or not based on where it was made. Unless it’s an obvious fake that says “Samsang” or something at the back. That’s another problem altogether.

WhatsApp Web: A simple guide on how to use the web app

WhatsApp is the world’s most popular cross-platform messaging app. As of February 2020, it has more than 2 billion users across the globe. A large number of users access the service through WhatsApp Web. It’s a web-based client that provides you with more flexibility on how you use this messaging app.

The Facebook-owned app is available on major platforms. It acts as a bridge for users on different platforms, enabling them to chat, send files make voice and video calls for free. They can also use WhatsApp Web online. It enables them to access their conversations through a web browser.

WhatsApp was originally available for mobile devices only. The company launched WhatsApp Web in January 2015. The web client is simply an extension of the user’s phone. WhatsApp Web only mirrors the conversations and messages that they receive from their mobile device. None of the messages are actually transferred over to the computer. In the interest of security, everything still lives on the user’s phone.

A simple guide on how to use WhatsApp Web

The WhatsApp Web app requires authentication through a personal QR code. Users can find this QR code inside the WhatsApp app on their phone. Since the web interface is basically just mirroring the app, the handset must remain connected to the internet for WhatsApp Web to function. If your smartphone loses the internet connection, WhatsApp Web will no longer work until the connection resumes.

To get the QR code, you’ll need to visit web.whatsapp.com. The code will be generated automatically when the page finishes loading. Once it appears, the code needs to be scanned through the WhatsApp app on your phone for the connection to be established.

You can do that by launching the app on your phone and tapping on the three dot menu in the top right hand corner. Tap on WhatsApp Web from the dropdown list followed by Link A Device. Simply point your phone’s camera at the WhatsApp Web QR code to launch the web app.

All of your conversations will now be immediately available in the browser. Communications remain end-to-end encrypted even when using WhatsApp Web online. The recipient never knows if you’re using WhatsApp Web or the mobile app.

Benefits of using the WhatsApp Web app

Once you’ve scanned the WhatsApp Web QR code and opened up the web app, you no longer need to use the phone to send messages and files. This makes it very easy to keep on top of your conversations from your computer. There’s no need to switch between the PC and the phone every time a new message comes in. You can read and reply to them from the web browser.

The biggest benefit of WhatsApp Web is that you can use your PC’s keyboard to type out messages. This means that you can type considerably faster than you would on your phone’s keyboard. It makes typing lengthy formal messages very easy.

Need to quickly share files from your computer? Through WhatsApp Web, you can easily send contacts, photos, documents and other files. Select as many as you want and send them on their way. If you receive a lot of files through WhatsApp, keep in mind that the web app won’t automatically save them on your computer. You will need to manually download the incoming files on the computer. WhatsApp on the phone will save incoming media automatically if the relevant option is enabled.

WhatsApp Web doesn’t let you make voice and video calls to individual contacts like the mobile app does. However, it’s possible to make group video calls on the web version through the Messenger Rooms feature. Once you create a room, simply share the link with the people you want to invite to the group video chat.

They’ll be able to join even if they don’t have WhatsApp or Messenger. It also doesn’t require you or the participants to log into Facebook. It’s pertinent to note that Messenger Rooms aren’t end-to-end encrypted.

So if you’re already using WhatsApp on your Samsung Android device but are yet to try the WhatsApp Web app, scan the WhatsApp Web QR today and unlock a powerful way to interact with your preferred messaging service.

Best Samsung Phones in November 2021 – Picked by experts

Given the sheer number of devices that it releases every year, finding the best Samsung phones can often prove to be a challenge for most customers. It doesn’t matter if you want a flagship or a budget device. Samsung offers plenty of options for all price ranges.

To make it easier for you to find the one that best suits your needs, our expert reviewers have created this list of the best Samsung smartphones. We’ll explain precisely why a device has made it on to our list and provide you with links to their detailed reviews. This will help you cut through the noise and really find out what is the best Samsung phone.

Our Best Samsung Phone List For November 2021

Our list for November 2021 has a great mix of devices, helped by the launch of Samsung’s new Galaxy Z Fold 3 and Galaxy Z Flip 3 foldable smartphones. We have also included some of the good Samsung phones in the mid-range and affordable categories that are currently available.

Best Samsung Phone – Spec monster: Galaxy S21 Ultra

The Galaxy S21 Ultra has big shoes to fill. It follows the Galaxy S20 Ultra which was Samsung’s everything and the kitchen sink phone. Last year’s flagship was packed to the gills with the best that Samsung had to offer. It’s a similar story for the Galaxy S21 Ultra as it remains the company’s undisputed spec monster.

Samsung’s latest high-end flagship features a 6.8-inch display with a 10Hz to 120Hz adaptive refresh rate. The Galaxy S21 Ultra is capable of hitting the 120Hz refresh rate at the highest WQHD+ resolution. Depending on the market, the Galaxy S21 Ultra will be available with an Exynos 2100 or Snapdragon 888 chipset. It’s paired with up to 16GB of RAM and 512GB of onboard storage. No external expansion is possible as the device doesn’t have a microSD card slot.

The Galaxy S21 Ultra retains its predecessor’s 5,000mAh battery. It does get an updated camera setup which includes two telephoto (zoom) cameras capable of achieving 100x Space Zoom. It also gets a whole host of new software features that take full advantage of the camera setup’s capabilities.

There’s even support for the S Pen. The Galaxy S21 Ultra is the first non-Note Galaxy device to get the S Pen. However, one doesn’t ship with the device. You’ll need to buy it separately in addition to a case that lets you carry the S Pen because it doesn’t slide inside the smartphone.

Samsung has once again set the benchmark for the rest of the Android manufacturers. This handset will remain the best Galaxy phone to be released this year. No other Samsung handset due in 2021 will have the kind of specs that this does. Looking beyond what’s under the hood, the Galaxy S21 Ultra also has exceptional build quality and a great design.

Reasons to buy: Powerful cameras, great battery life, exceptional display and top-notch performance.

Who should buy: Loyal Samsung fans, mobile gaming enthusiasts, mobile photographers and vloggers.

Best Samsung Phone – Productivity: Galaxy Note 20 Ultra

There’s no question about it, the Galaxy Note 20 Ultra tops our list as the best Samsung phone for productivity. Samsung has made a number of meaningful improvements to its latest flagship smartphone, particularly the S Pen upgrades. The S Pen latency has been dropped to 9ms in order to provide a more fluid and natural experience with the stylus.

The 6.9-inch Galaxy Note 20 Ultra also comes with the latest in smartphone technology as well as 5G support. It happens to be the first Samsung smartphone to feature a dynamic 120Hz refresh rate display.

This is actually the first time that a Samsung phone has had a variable refresh rate. The Galaxy Note 20’s display switches between 10Hz, 30Hz, 60Hz and 120Hz. It depends on whatever’s being shown on the screen. This is done to save power by not using the maximum refresh rate in circumstances where it’s not necessary. Pretty neat.

Samsung has also significantly improved the camera setup compared to its predecessor. There are several new software features and new camera modes that enable customers to get the most out of this $1,299 flagship. All of this makes the Galaxy Note 20 Ultra stand out as one of the top Samsung phones of 2021.

Reasons to buy: Best display on a smartphone, wireless DeX, gorgeous design, enhanced camera functionality and great battery life.

Who should buy: Customers who want the latest Samsung phones, power users, mobile gamers, vloggers and content creators.

Best Samsung Phone – Compact: Galaxy S20 FE

Samsung is out with a new Fan Edition model this year. The Galaxy S20 FE packs many of the best features of the Galaxy S20 series into a more compact package. It uses the same flagship-level chipsets, a 120Hz refresh rate display and a respectable 4,500mAh battery. Samsung has replaced the glass back with plastic and that’s actually a good thing.

The 6.5-inch flat display is great for those who don’t particularly like curved displays. The two 12-megapixel cameras offers similar results as the Galaxy S20+ and it even comes with an 8-megapixel telephoto camera that provides 3x lossless optical zoom. Samsung has also confirmed that it will receive three years of Android OS upgrades. For all of the amazing tech that it offers, the $699 price tag for the 5G variant of the Galaxy S20 FE makes it one of the best value Samsung phones to buy this year.

It’s a good move by the company to offer the Galaxy S20 FE. This enables it to compete against rivals that offer premium, near-flagship like devices for far less than what a traditional flagship would cost. The Galaxy S20 FE allows Samsung to go after those customers as well. That’s what makes it worthy of a place among the top rated Samsung phones of the year.

Reasons to buy: Great design, well-built, great performance, flat AMOLED display and three years of OS upgrades.

Who should buy: Customers who want a flagship-level phone for less, those who don’t want to be worried about breaking the glass back.

Best Samsung Phone – Foldable: Galaxy Z Fold 3

The Galaxy Z Fold 3 is the latest and greatest foldable smartphone from Samsung. While it appears to be similar to its predecessor, the Galaxy Z Fold 2, there’s a lot in this new device to be excited about.

Both the 6.2-inch cover and 7.6-inch Infinity Flex display have a 120Hz refresh rate. They’re also 29% brighter than the previous model. The foldable display is now 80% stronger than before. This is Samsung’s first foldable smartphone to support the S Pen on its internal display.

The hinge has added durability and Flex Mode which allows the hinge to free stand at different angles so that the phone can effectively become its own tripod. You can even wirelessly charge it like that!

Best Samsung Phone – Budget: Galaxy A32

The Galaxy A32 is a solid budget smartphone from Samsung. It features a 6.40inch Super AMOLED display with a MediaTek Helio G80 chipset with up to 8GB of RAM and 128GB storage. The chipset is a bit slow for heavy tasks but that’s to be expected from a device in this price range.

It’s a great budget smartphone nonetheless. The AMOLED display is great and the camera setup is actually decent. The 5,000mAh battery is also a big plus point.

Reasons to buy: AMOLED display, refreshed design, 5,000mAh battery, good camera performance.

Who should buy: Budget smartphone buyers and those who need great battery life.

Why These Are The Best Samsung Phones This Month

Samsung’s strategy has long been to offer something for everyone. We now have one of Samsung’s most diverse smartphone lineups. You have an absolute spec king in the Galaxy S21 Ultra to the extent of being over the top. The Galaxy Note 20 Ultra is certainly one of the best Note devices yet from Samsung as it builds on the feedback from Note loyalists and provides them with improvements they have long been asking for.

The Galaxy Z Flip is in a league of its own when it comes to foldable smartphones. There’s really no true successor for it on the market yet. It’s also a refreshingly unique device, perfect for those who are fed up with the monotony of smartphone design. The Galaxy S20 FE may have been out for almost a year now but it’s still a great value for the kind of specs it offers.

Samsung has capitalized on the Galaxy A50’s popularity for the Galaxy A51 and made it a worthy successor. Now, the Galaxy A52 is one of the best mid-range smartphones on the market. The Galaxy A52 does everything that you’d expect a device of its caliber to do without breaking a sweat. Lastly, customers won’t have much to complain about with the Galaxy A32. It’s incredibly clear in its purpose and because of that, it’s worthy of being on this list.
