When to Choose Poly Studio X32

Huddle rooms and small meeting spaces (2-8 people) that want Poly's integrated compute and AI features at a lower price

The Poly Studio X32 brings Poly's all-in-one approach to smaller rooms at a much more accessible price point. NoiseBlockAI and integrated Zoom/Teams compute are included, and Poly Lens management works identically to the larger models. The best entry point into Poly's ecosystem for smaller spaces.

Strengths

  • Compact all-in-one with integrated Zoom and Teams compute at an accessible price
  • Same NoiseBlockAI and Acoustic Fence as higher-end Poly models
  • Poly Lens cloud management included for enterprise deployment
  • Ideal for huddle rooms and small meeting spaces

Limitations

  • Limited to ~8 participants — not suitable for medium or large rooms
  • Single camera limits AI framing capabilities compared to X52/X72
  • Audio pickup range designed for small spaces only

When to Choose Yealink MeetingBar A40

Microsoft Teams organizations looking for integrated compute with AI framing at a competitive price

The Yealink MeetingBar A40 delivers impressive specs for the price — dual cameras, integrated Teams compute, and AI framing for under $2,700. It's a compelling alternative to pricier Poly and Logitech options for Teams-first organizations. The main trade-off is a smaller ecosystem and less brand recognition.

Strengths

  • Integrated compute for Microsoft Teams Rooms — no external PC needed
  • Dual-camera system with AI framing at a competitive price point
  • Yealink Device Management Platform for cloud-based IT administration
  • Strong value proposition compared to Poly and Logitech at similar specs

Limitations

  • Primarily optimized for Teams — Zoom support requires separate licensing
  • Brand awareness lower than Poly or Logitech in North American markets
  • Ecosystem of accessories and add-ons smaller than established competitors
