Samsung unveiled the newest updates to its A Series this afternoon.
The Galaxy A32 5G, Galaxy A12 and Galaxy A02s will join Samsung’s line of cheap smartphones for 2021, coming a mere week after the launch of the more expensive Galaxy S21 family of phones.
Here is what you need to know about them.
The Galaxy A32 5G
The A32 5G is one of the few phones in the A Series to feature 5G connectivity. This means you can expect fast performance whether you’re streaming movies on your smartphone or playing mobile games.

With a quad-camera array that includes a 48MP main sensor, an 8MP ultra-wide sensor, a 5MP macro sensor and a 2MP depth sensor, the A32 5G offers the same number of cameras as many of the flagship handsets on our best phones list.
