You&#8217;ve seen the vloggers rep it&#8217;s camera, you&#8217;ve seen the gamers test its screen&#8230; and now I&#8217;m about to put the @SamsungMobileSA A32, and its Level 5 Gorilla Glass feature to the test the only way I know how&#8230; ACTION, baby! I took my #SamsungGalaxyA32 with me to the shooting range, into the ring and onto the track to see if it could withstand all the bumps, knocks and throws that my action-packed lifestyle brings!  The verdict: 100% Bessick-proof&#8230; perhaps even bullet proof”</p>
