Design

The design of the Samsung Galaxy M32 is uglier compared to the Redmi Note 10 and the Realme 8. Instead of those cool punch-hole displays, it still comes with a waterdrop notch, also known as the Infinity-U display. Further, the phone is thicker and heavier than its two rivals because it packs a way bigger battery. The Realme 8 is the most compact, the thinnest, and the most lightweight phone of the trio, but on the other hand, the Redmi Note 10 has the IP53 certification making it dust resistant and splash resistant.

 

Display

The most interesting display belongs to Realme 8. Despite it does not come with a high refresh rate, it has a great AMOLED panel with the HDR10 certification which can guarantee bright colors and rich image quality even on streaming platforms. Further, it has a high 1000 nits peak brightness. Last but not least, it is the only one to come with an in-display fingerprint reader. However, the Samsung Galaxy M32 remains very interesting because its AMOLED display has a 90 Hz refresh rate. The Redmi Note 10 is definitely less impressive.

 

Hardware/Software

With its powerful Helio G95 mobile platform, Realme 8 wins the hardware comparison. Besides having the most powerful chipset, it also comes with the strongest memory configuration as it offers up to 8 GB of RAM and up to 128 GB of internal storage. Right after, we got the Redmi Note 10 with a Snapdragon 678 chipset and up to 6 GB of RAM, as well as up to 128 GB of UFS 2.2 internal storage. The phones all run Android 11 out of the box.

 

Camera

Noone of these devices is a camera phone, but Redmi Note 10 is the most disappointing as it is equipped with an inferior 48 MP main camera. With the Realme 8 and Samsung Galaxy M32, you get better 64 MP cameras and the Samsung Galaxy M32 wins the comparison because it also provides a better selfie camera with a 20 MP resolution.

 

Battery

Samsung Galaxy M32 is the king of battery life because it packs a bigger 6000 mAh battery. The Redmi Note 10 wins the fast charging comparison with a power of 33W.

 

Xiaomi Redmi Note 10 vs Realme 8 vs Samsung Galaxy M32: Price

Redmi Note 10 and Realme 8 are priced less than €200/$240 globally, while you need a bit more than €200/$240 to purchase the Samsung Galaxy M32. The Realme 8 wins this comparison unless the battery life isn’t your main concern (in that case you should go for Galaxy M32). On the other hand, the Redmi Note 10 has better street prices.
