I recently bought a device Realm 7 5Gwhich is actually one of the most affordable 5G phones on the global market. I was impressed with its capabilities and realized that most people don't even need a higher-end device to get a great user experience and 5G in one phone.
But there are many other 5G phones available in the global market as well. Among the most interesting on the market, we received REDM Note 9T 5G from Xiaomi and Galaxy A32 5G from Samsung. We decided to post this feature comparison because we wanted to help our readers make better choices when looking for an affordable 5G phone among the latter.

Design
If we look at the back of these phones, the Samsung Galaxy A32 5G has the most interesting, at least in my opinion. Its rear cameras are integrated into the back cover without the aggressive square or rectangular camera module.
On the other hand, if we look at the front panel, the Samsung Galaxy A32 5G disappoints most because of its smaller screen-to-body ratio and waterdrop notch. With Realme 7 5G and Redmi Note 9T 5G, you get a higher screen-to-body ratio and a camera hole design. In every case, you get a side-mounted fingerprint scanner.
Display
The Samsung Galaxy A32 5G display is impressive. It is a below average TFT LCD panel with below average HD + resolution. You would expect such a display from an entry-level phone, but not from a mid-range phone. The Redmi Note 9T 5G sits in the middle with its 6,53-inch Full HD + IPS display.
The best of these is definitely the Realme 7 5G with Full HD + display with 120Hz refresh rate. Apart from the very high refresh rate, the Realme 7 5G also offers higher brightness (typical brightness is 480 nits compared to 450 nits offered by the Redmi Note 9T 5G).
Hardware / software
Not only the best display: The Realme 7 5G is even equipped with the best hardware. The phone has a Dimensity 800U chipset from MediaTek, only Redmi Note 9T 5G, but it comes with a lot of RAM. You get 6 or 8 GB, while the Redmi Note 9T 5G only comes with 4 GB of RAM.
Internal memory 128 GB. The Samsung Galaxy A32 5G loses out again when compared to the Dimensity 720 SoC, but it has 8GB of RAM, unlike the Redmi Note 9T 5G. In addition, the Samsung Galaxy A32 5G runs Android 11 out of the box (Realme 7 5G and Redmi Note 9T 5G are still based on Android 10) and it will likely get longer software support.
Camera
The Samsung Galaxy A32 5G has state-of-the-art rear cameras: a 48MP main sensor and an 8MP ultra-wide sensor like the Realme 7 5G, but the macro camera has a higher resolution of 5MP (the Realme 7 5G has the worst 2MP macro camera).
On the other hand, the Realme 7 5G is the best selfie phone with a 16MP front camera. The Redmi Note 9T 5G is disappointing as it lacks an ultra-wide sensor and also has a poor selfie camera.
Battery
Redmi Note 9T 5G, Realme 7 5G and Samsung Galaxy A32 5G have the same battery capacity: 5000mAh. But the Samsung Galaxy A32 5G should have more battery life because its display has poorer HD + resolution. On the other hand, the Realme 7 5G charges faster thanks to its 30W fast charging technology.
Price
Realme 7 5G costs 279 euros / 339 dollars on the global market, Redmi Note 9T 5G starts from 229 euros / 278 dollars, and Samsung Galaxy A32 5G costs 299 euros / 363 dollars. Realme 7 5G wins the comparison with better hardware, display, and faster charging.
