Samsung Galaxy M32 Gaming and Performance Review By Digit

True to its nature, Samsung has been one of the busiest phone makers since the beginning of 2021, from flagships to mid-range and even budget segment devices. The phone maker has launched a number of new phones in India this year, and now it has added to the list a new offering in the form of the galaxy m32, an entry-level mid-range phone, the galaxy m32 houses a monstrous battery some interesting hardware under the hole and pays it with an eye-catching design to lure the undecided. While all these come together to make the new Samsung phone an overall, well-balanced device, they also add up to make it an offering to consider if you're looking for a device to play, games and consume multimedia content on my name is Sushant altar, and I've had the device with me for a few days now. During this time, we've put the galaxy m32 through the bases to figure out if it's a good buy for those looking to run graphics, intensive titles and play movies on. But before we do that, let us remind you to subscribe to our channel and hit the bell icon to get updates about our future videos. Now, with that out of the way, let's take a deep dive to understand what the galaxy m32 brings to the table for all the gamers, the Netflix junkies out there.

Let's begin with the stuff that matters at the heart of the galaxy m32 is a MediaTek hello, g80 soc, that's paid with up to 6 GB of ram and up to 128 GB of onboard storage, the MediaTek hello g80 soc houses, an OCTA core processor, with two cortex a75 cores clocked at two gigahertz and six volt x, a55 cores clocked at 1.8 gigahertz. The chipset can also dynamically manage the CPU GPU and the memory based on the heat power and the demands of different usage scenarios. Yet, despite MediaTek small claims, the hello g80 soc is only a typical budget segment chip and, for all intents and purposes it performs as such, the chipset can power demanding games, but not without making a few compromises. For example, Call of Duty mobile only supports up to medium graphics settings on the phone, with the high frame rate setting available to users. However, even after this, some high-end graphics features such as bloom and anti-aliasing remain unavailable to users.

At the moment, testing the phone using game bench showed that m32 did encounter a few issues while running graphically demanding titles such as Call of Duty mobile, the benchmarking tool revealed that the phone managed to clock a million fps of 49 frames at a stability of 79 during our gaming session. Interestingly, the game managed to do so by using around 20 of the CPU resource and only 753 MB of ram available at its disposal. While these numbers don't make for great reading, we cannot forget that they describe the performance of what essentially is an entry level mid-range device. Other benchmark tests also showed a similar trend with the phone clocking one four, seven, three, two zero points on an tutu and three, forty-five and twelve twenty-seven points, respectively in geek bench, single and multicore s, but away from benchmarks and GPU intensive games. The galaxy m32 does not disappoint with its performance.

Working in tandem with the highly optimized one UI 3.1 software, the galaxy m32's hardware manages to handle multitasking as well as apps and programs of daily use with relative ease. This meant that, while browsing the web or switching between apps, they want any micro starters or any other signs of slow-downs. Video streaming applications such as Netflix and prime video also ran without a hitch on the galaxy m32, thereby ensuring an overall enjoyable experience, while consuming multimedia content on the device, both the design of a phone and the display it comes daunting also play an important part in enhancing the experience of consuming multimedia content on a smartphone, and the same is the case with the galaxy m32. The phone features an industrious design language that focuses on keeping things simple. Create attention also appears to have been paid to the ergonomics of the device, despite being equipped with a massive battery.

The galaxy m32 remains a relatively lightweight and manageable device. It offers a back panel made of polycarbonate, which gives the device a nice enhanced, feel and helps in keeping the phone feeling lightweight in the hand. During long gaming sessions, the galaxy m32 is a typical m-series phone and, as such, it offers classy exteriors for the price. Samsung has steered clear of making flashy design choices and instead has gone with a simple gradient pattern that runs through the back of the device. This merges seamlessly with the square shape or quad camera setup, and the company's logo also placed on the back.

The bottom of the phone's frame features cutouts for a 3.5 mm jack and a speaker grip. The placement of both is such that they do not hamper the gaming experience on the device. This is especially true for the speaker, grill, which does not get muffled by holding the phone in the hand to watch movies or playing games on it at the front of the galaxy. M32 is a tall display. That is one of the best, if not the best.

In the segment, the phone comes with a massive 6.4 inch, full HD plus super AMOLED display, which offers support for a smooth, 90, hertz refresh rate, although not the fastest. It still does enough to provide an immersive viewing experience. The 90 hertz dynamic, refresh rate panel runs a full HD plus resolution and is claimed to provide a shorter length of motion blur by minimizing after image in display transition and shorter motion picture response time. The display is protected using a sheet of coordinate, gorilla, glass, 5 for preventing stretches and breakage, but how does this display perform in real life? Well, as we found out this super AMOLED panel lives up to all the hype, as it provides very good, color accuracy and dynamic range. The 6.4 inch panel feels quite crisp to look at because of its impressive high pixel per inch count. The display performance in other aspects is also great, as the panel is capable of churning out punchy colors and offers really nice viewing angles.

This is also one of the brightest displays in the segment and with the phone in high brightness mode. The display can automatically reach 800 nits of brightness. Suffice to say these are all ingredients that make for not only great gaming but also video streaming experience on the galaxy m32. Arguably one of the biggest highlights of the galaxy m32 is its massive battery pack. That helps improve the overall experience of using the device.

Samsung has equipped the phone with a mammoth 6000 my battery pack that easily gave us around 2 days of moderate usage on a single charge. Suffice to say the presence of such a big battery not only proved to be a convenience during normal use, but a greater one when we played games or watched videos on the device. This was also proved when testing the battery in a video loop test and gaming test for the former, the phone managed to last for around 24 hours, while a quick, 15-minute session of Call of Duty mobile only drained three percent of the battery. The galaxy m32 also supports Samsung's 25 watt superfast charging technology, which is also found on some of its flagships. This helps the battery pack charge up to the brim in about 1 hour 45 minutes, however, Samsung only ships, the phone with a 15 watt charger, which takes around 2 hours and 20 minutes to complete one full charge.

The galaxy m32 is a well-rounded phone that offers a lot to like it has a big display which supports fast refresh rates and performs at a level, that's arguably good enough for a phone from a higher price segment. It also has a massive battery to ensure the m32 can handle binge-watch sessions without making you run for the charger. Additionally, it has decent core hardware which, backed up by the company's highly optimized one UI 3.1, offers just about enough power to keep the phone chugging along on a day-to-day basis without encountering any problems unless, of course, you're talking about hardcore gaming at high graphics settings, in that case, you're, better off looking at slightly more expensive devices such as the Poco m3 pro or even the Redmi Note 10 pro. Both these phones offer superior gaming performance and similar overall experience, albeit at a slightly higher price point.
