Price in Pakistan
The Galaxy A32 launched in Pakistan in March 2021 and Samsung officially discontinued it in Pakistan in 2023. mymobile says units sold today are either remaining distributor stock or parallel imports, and hamariweb says getting new stock is harder since the phone is discontinued. mymobile lists the phone at Rs. 39,999, which is the introductory price from the March 2021 launch, and that is the price used here, Expected. The used market runs lower — zmobiles Rs. 28,999–37,999 depending on condition and seller, hamariweb grey/used Rs. 30,000–38,000 (4+64), Rs. 40,000–50,000 (6+128), Rs. 44,000–55,000 (8+128).

Buying in Pakistan
- Check the IMEI and the exact model, SM-A325F — the A32 5G (Dimensity 720, 48MP quad) and the A31 (Helio P65, 48MP quad) are different phones.
- The phone is discontinued — confirm the unit is new and sealed, not used or refurbished, and check what warranty the seller actually offers.
- mymobile warns that current units are remaining distributor stock or parallel imports.
- Confirm the PTA status via DIRBS and remember the 60-day window.
- Make sure it is the A32 4G — Helio G80, 64MP quad camera and a 20MP selfie camera.
Final Verdict: A discontinued 2021 phone with a 64MP quad camera at Rs. 39,999 — buy it only if the price is right
A discontinued 2021 phone with a 64MP quad camera at Rs. 39,999 — buy it only if the price is right. The 90Hz Super AMOLED display, 64MP quad camera, 20MP selfie camera and 5000mAh battery are still usable for basic daily use, and the dedicated microSD slot, NFC, FM radio and headphone jack are genuine conveniences. The weakest points are the slow Helio G80, 15W charging, the 5MP macro and depth lenses that add almost nothing, and Android 11 with a limited update path. The real catch is that the phone is discontinued in Pakistan — buy it only as a new, sealed unit with a checked IMEI, and only if the price stays near Rs. 39,999; the used market runs Rs. 28,999–37,999.
