If you want a flagship-level experience without paying flagship prices, then the A32 5G is perfect. A side-mounted fingerprint reader, 4 cameras, and up to 4GB of RAM are included in the price of this phone. It's a solid choice because it shares a lot of the same design elements as the fantastic A52.

The 5,000mAh battery is even more exciting than the quad-camera setup. Up to 20 hours of battery life is provided by this huge battery combined with the mid-range MediaTek Dimensity 720 5G chipset.

There is no wireless charging available with the A32 5G. You won't be able to take this for a swim because it doesn't have an official rating for water or dust resistance. You will have to settle for a less powerful panel as opposed to the international version.

Best starter cell phone: Samsung Galaxy A03s

The A03s is a step above the bottom of the barrel with its HD+ display. The classic design of the screen is retained, without the home button. The A03s is something that will appeal to those who don't want the latest and greatest, but just something that looks familiar.

The base storage can be expanded with the help of a microSD card. There is a 5MP front camera, with a triple-camera system with a primary 13MP lens and 2MP depth and macro sensors, which aim to provide decent photos while you are out and about. The basics of a budget phone include a large battery, a 3.5mm jack, and a fingerprint reader.

Even with the ability to use a microSD card, 32GB of storage is rough. This is true when the base storage is taken up by pre-installed software. Users have to deal with the sluggish MediaTek Helio P35 chipset and only 3GB of RAM.

Best for international use: Samsung Galaxy A22

Traveling abroad can be hard on your phone. The dual-SIM card slot on the A22 makes it safe to use. There is compatibility with all of the network providers.

The edge-to-edge design of the AMOLED display was included in the design. There is a built-in Type-C charging port, as well as a side-mounted fingerprint scanner. The A22 is powered by the Helio G80 system, which has 4GB of RAM and is compatible with theANDROID 11 operating system. The 5,000mAh battery is impressive and will last the entire day, if not a lot longer.

On the other side of the table, the CDMA carriers can't use the A22, so they'll have to look elsewhere. There is no official rating for the phone, so we would have liked to see it have a more robust concept.

Best value: Samsung Galaxy A21

Many devices, including the A21, have the Super AMOLED display. The newer A series devices are not compatible with AMOLED. This is the reason why the A21 has a better value proposition. The 6.5-inch display is big enough to enjoy your favorite media, even though it has an FHD+ resolution. You can always get the perfect shot with the four rear-mounted cameras.

15W Fast Charging is included in the A21, so you can always top off your phone on top of the 4,000mAh battery. The spec sheet had 3GB of RAM and 32GB of base storage. We can all agree that the memory specifications aren't very impressive, but that doesn't mean they aren't good. You can increase your device storage by grabbing a decent microSD card.

You may be disappointed in the resolution of the display, as is the case with other budget options. Your movie sessions may beinted by some graininess with 720p video. The display is brighter than the panels on the newer models.

Best upgraded entry-level: Samsung Galaxy A12

If the A03s is the best starter phone, then the A12 is a slightly better version of that. The A12 is a cheap phone that gives you more than just a bare-bones experience. It has a 6.5-inch display, a durable build, and a fingerprint sensor on the side.

There isn't much to write home about with the A12 when looking at the spec sheet. The package looks pretty attractive, since you would spend less than $200 on this phone. The A12 has a nice big display, an enduring battery that tops up quickly due to Fast Charging, and an audio jack of yore. The primary 48MP shooter in the quad-camera setup is decent.

There are some drawbacks to the A12 The software experience is not by any means fast with just 3GB of RAM and 32GB storage onboard. You can increase that by using micro SD. You can upgrade the budget phone to the newer version of the operating system right away.

If you want to live in a world where you don't have to pay a premium price, then the A32 5G is your best bet. This phone has a 6.5-inch display with a side-mounted fingerprint reader. If you want an international variant that doesn't have 5G, you could go for it. It has a slower processor and does not support CDMA.

Under the hood, you will get 4GB of RAM, 128GB of storage, and a 1 terabytes of storage. Four rear-mounted cameras make it possible to get the best picture.

You will get clean shots with the primary 48MP lens, and you will get a 5MP depth camera for better pictures taken in portrait mode. An 8MP ultra-wide lens and a 5MP macro sensor are included. This camera setup alone makes this one of the best phones available, regardless of price.
