Samsung Galaxy A32 used and refurbished
The Galaxy A32 is the 2021 4G version in which Samsung put the screen first. The 6.4-inch Super AMOLED panel with Full HD+ resolution refreshes at 90 Hz, so scrolling through pages and lists in apps is noticeably smoother than on a regular 60 Hz panel. In sunlight the screen brightens to 800 nits, and the 5000 mAh battery easily lasts all day.
At SWOPiFY you'll find used and refurbished Samsung Galaxy A32 phones with 64 GB or 128 GB of storage, in dual-SIM or single-SIM versions, in black, white, blue and violet. SWOPiFY partners check every unit technically before sale, and any that need work go for repair first.
What can the Galaxy A32 do?
This screen is great for watching series and looking at photos, and text is sharp thanks to Full HD+. The front is protected by Gorilla Glass 5, while the back and frame are plastic. The phone is 8.4 mm thick and weighs 184 grams, so it's fairly slim for a 5000 mAh battery. Sound comes from a single speaker at the bottom of the body.
The fingerprint reader is under the screen. The European version has NFC, so you can pay contactlessly with it at the till. The body has no water-resistance rating, so you need to be careful with it around water and sand.
Processor, cameras and battery
Inside is a MediaTek Helio G80 with 4 GB of RAM. Messaging apps, the browser, YouTube and maps run without much trouble, and simple games will work too. With heavier titles and lots of apps open, you can tell it's a budget chip. On the back there are four lenses: a 64 MP main camera, an 8 MP ultra-wide, a 5 MP macro and a 5 MP depth sensor. The selfie camera is 20 MP, and you can record video in Full HD.
The 5000 mAh battery usually lasts a whole day of heavy use, and longer with lighter use. Wired charging runs at 15 W. There's no wireless charging.
What should you look out for before buying?
It's a 4G phone – it doesn't support 5G networks. On the other hand, it has a 3.5 mm headphone jack and a dedicated microSD spot that doesn't take up the second SIM slot. 15 W charging is slow for such a big battery, so it's easiest to charge it overnight.
The Galaxy A32 started out on Android 11, got two major updates and ended on Android 13 with One UI 5. In April 2025 Samsung stopped releasing updates for it, so today the phone no longer gets security patches. Without fixes, the risk of using mobile banking grows month by month, and some apps may stop supporting it over time. It's best suited to being a backup phone, a phone for a teenager or an older person, or for simple everyday tasks. The Galaxy A32 5G supports fifth-generation networks and records 4K video, but has an HD+ LCD screen with a 60 Hz refresh rate.
You can filter Galaxy A32 phones by:
- storage – 64 GB or 128 GB;
- RAM – 4 GB;
- colour;
- price range;
- condition.
Photos from the 64 MP camera can take up quite a lot of space, so if you take lots of pictures, choose 128 GB. The 64 GB version with a microSD card will also do the job, as long as you move your gallery onto it.
What does the technical check involve?
Before a Galaxy A32 goes on sale as refurbished, it goes through a 44-point checklist, including:
- screen – touch, brightness, 90 Hz smoothness and the condition of the glass;
- battery – health and any damage;
- all four rear cameras and the front camera;
- the in-display fingerprint reader;
- connectivity – Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, GPS, NFC;
- SIM and memory card support;
- speaker, microphones, 3.5 mm jack and USB-C.
Can you trust a refurbished Galaxy A32?
A refurbished Samsung Galaxy A32 from SWOPiFY is a used phone that has been checked by SWOPiFY partners and, where needed, repaired. We don't offer it as new and never suggest that it is.
Every purchase comes with a warranty. The condition of the casing and battery of each unit is described by one of four grades: Premium, Excellent, Good or Fair. Before you order, you decide whether you want a phone that's almost like new out of the box or a cheaper one with visible signs of use.
Got an old smartphone you no longer use?
Submit it to the buy-back programme, and its value will lower the price of your purchase. No ads, no haggling and no arranging meetings – and your old phone will still be useful to someone.
