Latest Galaxy M32 news
Introduction
The Galaxy M32 is Samsung's sixth M-branded phone to have been announced in 2021, after the Galaxy M02 and M02s, the Galaxy M12, Galaxy M42 5G, and the Galaxy M62.
Samsung's new M-branded phone shares a few specifications with the Galaxy A32, but it's not actually a rebranded phone. It doesn't share the Galaxy A32's back panel design, though it does have an Infinity-U display.

Design
The Galaxy M32 looks a lot like other M-branded phones released in the first half of 2021. It has a rectangular camera housing, a glossy back panel with vertical stripes, and a metallic frame made from plastic.
