Samsung’s cheapest 5G smartphone will use a MediaTek processor

Samsung has big plans to make 5G even more accessible in 2021. After launching the Galaxy A42 5G a few weeks ago, the company seems to be preparing itself for the Galaxy A32 5G’s launch. The device has now appeared in benchmarks, revealing its hardware specifications.

The Galaxy A32 5G (SM-A326B) has now appeared in the Geekbench 5 results database, revealing that it uses a MediaTek Dimensity 720 processor and has 4GB of RAM. The phone appears to be running Android 11 out of the box, so it could come with One UI 3.0 (or newer). The phone scored 477 points in the single-core test and 1,598 points in the multi-core test. The Dimensity 720 chipset is built using a 7nm process and features two Cortex-A76 CPU cores clocked at 2GHz, six Cortex-A55 CPU cores clocked at 2GHz, and a Mali-G57 MC3 GPU.

Earlier leaks had revealed that the Galaxy A32 5G is a 5G smartphone with a 6.5-inch Infinity-V display, a quad-camera setup at the rear with 48MP primary sensor, a side-mounted fingerprint reader, Wi-Fi b/g/n/ac, Bluetooth 5.0 with LE, NFC, a headphone jack, a USB Type-C port, and up to 15W fast charging. The phone has already received FCC certification, so it could be unveiled in the next few weeks.
