I'm looking at buying the international version of the samsung galaxy a32 4g from Amazon, and want to make sure it will be compatible. So hopefully someone who knows can fill me in.

Model number

SM-A325M/DS

Thanks

I know that your question was a simple one but I think that the A52 is much better value for your money. Unfortunately, with some of these imported Samsumg models, some of them lack LTE on band 4. When it comes to buying from Amazon marketplace sellers, there can be variation on the quality of merchandise or of the service provided. Consider anything not sold directly by Amazon to have zero warranty. For that reason, if you choose to buy through a third party, I would consider buying from a seller who uses Amazon to handle the shipping. That way, you would at least be covered by a 30 day Amazon return policy.

Indeed you are correct....swiftronics has theirs overpriced for the marketplace it seems.

I don't know about 10% to 15% more for the A52's? Unless you have a retailer in mind for that price but the cheapest I have found so far is 40% more in price.

I was rounding off. Grey market/imported A32 go for about $300 new (or a few dollars less). The A52 can be had for about $330 on Amazon. Those are obviously third party sellers though as Amazon wouldn't sell a model that wasn't intended by Samsung to be sold here.

Yes but the BB A53 is single sim. Dual SIM A52 international version starting at $429 (openbox) to $549 at swiftronics. Dual SIM A33 $399 and Dual SIM A53 $459/6GB or 8GB $499.

When it comes to an imported A52, this.would only cost about 10% to 15% more than an A32. For an A53, that roughly $430 price is available pretty much anywhere because Sasmung Canada has lowered the price.

@Gaf In case you are looking on the A52 as suggested, the newer model A53 is now $429.99 on Bestbuy

For a Samaung device in that price range, I would consider an A52. It's overall a better device.

The dual sim Latin American version of the samsung galaxy A325M/DS is compatible with public mobile with both sim cards slots. At just under $300 cdn its a pretty decent price. The processor is a little light but a great battery, amoled display, a pretty good camera but needs fix for its night camera/low light and it has poor video resolution. Headphone jack, good storage and while you can't fix the video hopefully a software update will fix the the night camera glitches. I'm a fan of the dual sim models and still use my A320 2017 (UAE) for my legacy 50/50 plan and am currently using the the second sim slot for my micro sd card for tunes and back up storage since it only has 16GB of memory.
