Samsung A32 5G Review Initial Impressions Price Point : At $100, the Samsung A32 5G offers impressive performance. Performance Comparison : It matches or exceeds the iPhone 11 in most areas, except for screen display quality, which falls short compared to Samsung's usual high standards. Display Screen Quality : The 6.5" TFT LCD (720 x 1600 pixels, 60Hz) display is a letdown considering Samsung's reputation for AMOLED screens, particularly when streaming high-quality video is essential today.

My Everyday Carry Update I'm really liking the simplicity of the Casio A168 and normally rock that most days, swapping it for my G-Shock 5600 on weekends.

Exciting Find: 1991-1992 Swiss Army Knife Explorer I found a nice example of a 1991-1992 Swiss Army Knife Explorer model. I dated it based on the tang stamp on the main blade, which indicates it’s from 1986-1992. It has to be from after 1991 since it includes the carrier hook on the bottom tools. The old-style grey magnifying lens confirms it’s an older model Explorer, as those were produced from 1973-2004. Overall, it's a good find for $20! This piece will complete my collection as a counterpoint to the similar four-layer Huntsman. The choice of Phillips screwdriver and magnifying lens makes this a useful addition to my gear.
