The second nano-SIM position is shared with microSD.

It's now a five-year-old design and Samsung's regular update schedule for it has ended, so we don't expect new security patches. We couldn't find a current Samsung update confirmation for this model. If updates matter to you, choose a newer phone such as the Galaxy A15 5G or A16 5G.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eIs a refurbished Samsung Galaxy A32 5G worth buying in 2026?\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eOnly if you want an inexpensive 5G handset for basics and accept no further updates.
