If you prioritize high performance, exceptional camera quality, and a premium design, the OnePlus 12, with its better cameras, larger and higher-resolution OLED screen, and faster processor, is a great choice but it costs more. However, if you're looking for a more budget-friendly option, the Samsung Galaxy A32 offers decent battery life and a headphone jack for wired earphones, but with more modest camera capabilities and a lower-resolution LCD screen. The choice depends on whether you favor higher-end specs or a more affordable price with a satisfactory performance for basic tasks. Both phones run on Android. Give Feedback

"Samsung got a lot right with the Galaxy A32. The introduction of a 90Hz AMOLED panel in this category shows that Samsung is serious about bringing high refresh rate tech to affordable devices, and the 64MP camera is also a fantastic new addition. You also get excellent battery life and a phone that looks great."
