Samsung Galaxy A32 5G Review at KL Bird Park
I have always done reviews of the Samsung S series phones, and this time around, I am doing a special mid-range Samsung Galaxy A32 5G review at KL Bird Park for those who want to know more about this new 5G phone.
You should also know that Samsung releases high-specification smartphones early before releasing the mid-range and other models before the second half of the year.
Please also note that all the photos you see in this article were taken with the Samsung Galaxy A32 5G smartphone. And I choose to visit the KL Bird Park due to the vibrant colours of the birds for my photography.

If you wonder why I am reviewing this particular model, there is a huge market for mid-range phones, and it is often overlooked by personal reviewers.
I also came out with an article titled 5 reasons to buy a Galaxy A32 5G for those contemplating this, as it provides you with some excellent reasons.
Anyway, after using this smartphone for a few weeks, I can say that it is time I came out with my own honest and personal review of the Galaxy A32 5G at the KL Bird Park.
Photos Taken with the Galaxy A32 5G Smartphone at KL Bird Park
Below are a series of photos that I took when I visited the KL Bird Park, and they are not edited with enhancements, only to resize the photos and put in my watermark.
Again, the resolution here is quite low just to show you how they turned out.

A32 Usage
The A32 5G is very user friendly, just like most phones are nowadays. The functions are more or less similar to many other models, especially on the main screen.
There is one thing that currently bothers me: the touchscreen delay when I am using the smartphone. I assume it could be something to do with the operating system, and maybe I need to reinstall that.
Battery life is great considering that they have a 5000 mAh battery capacity which is a tad more than previous models. Overall, with general usage, the battery lasted me a full day without dying on me.
But this varies among users, especially those who use a lot of social media or YouTube as it would last you half a day.
For some active users who have multiple active chat groups, playing games or watching movies for several hours continuously, then the A32 5G battery will not be enough for you.
The 4GB Ram onboard the A32 5G is quite important nowadays because most applications require a lot of Ram for smooth usage.
Therefore if you are still using the 1GB or 2GB phones, you would experience a lot of lag when using the phone.
A32 Size
As it is quite a standard size compared to most smartphones, the 16.4 x 7.6 x 0.9 cm is fairly common these days and will sit comfortably in a normal person hand.
If you are small-sized with small palms, then the A32 5G will be a little too big for you. Also, for kids under 10, it could be a little too small.
The weight is also quite acceptable at 205 grams, making it less heavy than much older models.

A32 5G Camera
Again, all these mega-pixels or MP as they are called can be quite confusing nowadays, so the only thing you need to know is that all new models have some of the best camera systems in them nowadays.
For those who know a little, the A32 5G comes with a 48MP + 8MP + 5MP + 2MP camera lens system as the main back camera and a 13MP front camera selfies.
But just so you know, the A32 4G unit comes with a much higher MP for both front and back cameras with 64MP as the main for the back and 20MP for the front.
A32 Gaming
You should know that the Galaxy A32 5G comes with a MediaTek MT6853 Dimensity 720 5G processor for those who love to play online games on their smartphone.
This processor supports a fast gaming experience with a dedicated GPU (graphic processor unit) so, gamers can also enjoy this 5G smartphone.
Overall
The phone is very user-friendly, light, up-to-date and budget-friendly for just about anyone who wants to explore an updated phone for 2021.
But you will really need a good casing because it can and will crack or break if you drop it. Hence, they always recommend you get smartphone insurance under the Samsung Care+ campaign.
This is definitely a smartphone to consider for casual users, especially when it is 5G ready in Malaysia. Unless you have a larger budget, you can consider the Galaxy S series or even the Galaxy Fold 2.
What I did not like was quite minimal, mainly the zoom mode from normal to ultra-wide. It does not allow me to smoothly select different focal lengths when I zoom out.
Meaning, from normal mode to ultra-wide, it is just one move. There are no in-between areas; you can stop zooming to adjust for photos. Quite frustrating for photography if you ask me.
The other is the heating issue at the lens area when you continuously take photos. From a photographer’s perspective, this is quite frustrating when the lens gets all heated up.
The A32 5G is not meant for a photographer and just for casual phone users. So, for me, this is something I would not recommend if you are into smartphone photography.
If you are, there is a local smartphone photography group in Malaysia that you can join. I am also a moderator there and often share smartphone photos there too.

Where is the KL Bird Park?
It is located in the Perdana Botanical Gardens or KL Lake Gardens’ core area known as Taman Burung Kuala Lumpur in Malay. This is probably one of KL’s most popular tourist attractions too.
It is only a 10-minute walk from Petaling Street or Chinatown, while from the Bukit Bintang area, you can catch the Hop-on Hop-off bus here.

About Me
I am David Hogan Jr, a 13-year experienced travel blogger and social media enthusiast since the early days, and I have been reviewing smartphones in Malaysia for the last 10 years.
My focus is mainly on local food, travel, nature and bird watching; hence I pay more attention to these genres.
I am not an influencer like how the younger generation is active on Instagram and TikTok, but more of an SEO writer for search engines as the ROI is much more important in that area.
Knowledge and accurate information are still very much looked for, especially from a reputable source; hence I continue to provide quality articles and write-ups through my platform.

Conclusion
You cannot expect the high-end model features for the price you pay, but Samsung managed to include at least some of the S series’s functions into this model.
For your added information, I also wrote about a first impression of the Galaxy A32 5G in early April when the phone was launched in Malaysia. This included a mini unboxing of the unit when I received it.
Other than that, it is a great basic and entry-level phone that comes 5G-ready, and for the price you pay, it is actually quite worth it.
I hope you liked my honest Samsung Galaxy A32 5G review at KL Bird Park and its feedback. If you have comments or questions, I would love to hear them.
