Samsung Galaxy M32 test: The difference is endurance
The Galaxy M32 is equipped with a quad photo module consisting of a 64 MP main sensor, the lens of which opens at f/1.8, an 8 MP ultra-wide angle (f/2.2), a 2 MP macro and a depth sensor (also 2 MP).
We will compare it to OnePlus Nord CE 5G Which, without sparkling in practice, made us even more convinced of the selected devices.
Unit principle: 64 MP, f / 1.8, eq. 26 mm
As is often the case, the technology pixel binning It is used by default. Combining four pixels into a single unit is allowed here in order to get more photos and capture more light. Therefore, the main unit takes 16MP photos using the 64MP sensor.
Rendering in bright conditions is a good thing for this type of device. The image is more contrast than that of the OnePlus Nord CE 5G, which gives the impression of more detailing. In fact, the latter opts for a fairly strong digital smoothing, but manages to keep the colors much brighter than the Galaxy M32. On OnePlus, the scenes are sharper, but the scene lacks depth.
At night, digital noise appears. This is also the case in Nord CE 5G, but the image processing allows it this time to be more readable. In Galaxy M32 there is a lack of exposure and it is very harmful to the kidney. OnePlus feature.
Mode 64 MP
It is of course possible to activate a mode to enjoy full definition. Most of the time, this isn’t really relevant. Let’s see if this is also the case with the Galaxy M32.
If the colorimetry is not adjusted, we note that the 64 MP mode allows for a slight increase in detail. This can be seen in the eyes and eyebrows of the man in our scene. The change is not huge, but it can be interesting in the case of particularly busy shots (landscape, crowd, etc.).
On the other hand, it is very difficult to see the difference in night conditions. Unless you want to crop a photo, the gain is almost zero. The picture severely lacks sharpness anyway.
Ultra unit angle: 8 MP, f / 2,2, 123 degrees
Wide-angle fashion, that is, in all configurations. The Galaxy M32 has one, but the result doesn’t live up to our expectations.
This ultra-wide angle unit failed to produce a truly usable shot. The level of detail collapses and one gets the impression that a veil of mist has fallen on the scene. So it is difficult to clearly distinguish the center of the image. What’s disappointing is that the quality on the edges of the image is also poor.
At night, no ultra-wide-angle unit can produce good shots. The M32 is no exception to the rule and delivers frankly mediocre results. In front of him, OnePlus’ presentation isn’t really glorious, but we still managed to discern some details on the tarot cards. Either way, don’t expect miracles.
Front and video unit
The Galaxy M32 has a 20 MP front unit, the lens of which opens at f / 2.2. Thus it is possible to take selfies at 20 mega pixels. These are very accurate, provided there is enough light. As soon as the scene gets dark, a white veil tends to fall on the faces. The vertical position works well…as long as your hair is short and shaved. Inclusions quickly appear on long wounds and flying planes.
This is not a videographer’s smartphone. The front and rear units are capable of shooting in Full HD at 30 frames per second. For the former, the image remains usable, but it will lack sharpness if you want to enjoy it on large screens, especially since the stabilization is not optimal. Once again, we advise against exposure to night conditions, as the smartphone shows a lot of signs of weakness. All of its competitors today can shoot in 4K at 30 frames per second, and do a better job of working out.
