Samsung Galaxy A22 5G

Samsung Galaxy A22 5G product description

The Samsung Galaxy A22 5G is a fast 5G phone with a smooth 90Hz screen. The screen is also fairly large, it has a high resolution camera and a low price tag. But does that make it suitable for everyone? That is something that we are going to investigate here.

5G available for everyone

5G is becoming more accessible. Samsung is now even applying it in the lower end of the Galaxy A series. Not long from now and it will be so common that manufacturers won't have to put it in the name anymore. Just like they did with 4G. The fact is that you can use fast mobile internet with this A22 5G. 5G may not be available everywhere yet, but the fact that your phone has it now means that you do not have to buy a new mobile phone when it is. But the Galaxy A22 5G is so much more than a 5G phone.

Flashing performance

It's also a phone with a big screen. 6.6 inches to be exact. At the top we find a small notch for the selfie camera, at the bottom a small chin. Special about the screen is the relatively high FHD+ resolution, where other phones in this price range often stick to HD+. Images and text appear sharper as a result. Also special is the higher refresh rate of 90Hz. By refreshing images 90 times per second instead of the regular 60 times, animations and transitions look much smoother. An additional advantage: your phone feels much faster. Speed is further provided by the MediaTek Dimensity 700 5G processor. This is an entry-level chipset but one that is built on 7nm and therefore almost 30% more powerful than a similar processor based on 8nm.

Good value for money

On the camera front, Samsung has equipped the A22 5G with a 48MP main camera, a 5MP ultra-wide-angle and a 2MP depth camera. Luckily, Samsung does not follow the trend of useless macro cameras that allow you to make extreme close-ups. The depth camera does not have many megapixels, but in combination with the main camera, it is able to distinguish between foreground and background easily. This results in a useful portrait mode. The battery is on the large side with 5000 mAh and has a long battery life. Charging is done with a maximum of 15W, which is not that fast, but technically speaking, it is considered fast charging. All in all, a decent entry-level phone with some premium features for little money.
