The Samsung Galaxy A22 is a budget-friendly mid-range smartphone launched in 2021, designed to offer a balanced experience with an emphasis on display quality, battery life, and camera versatility for everyday users.
Design and Display
The Galaxy A22 features a 6.4-inch Super AMOLED display with HD+ resolution (1600 x 720 pixels) and a 90Hz refresh rate, delivering vibrant colors and smooth scrolling despite the modest pixel density of around 274 PPI. The screen uses an Infinity-U notch design and achieves a peak brightness of about 600 nits, making it reasonably visible outdoors. The phone has a plastic back and frame, weighs 186 grams, and measures 159.3 x 73.6 x 8.4 mm, offering a comfortable grip and a lightweight feel.
Performance
Powered by the MediaTek Helio G80 chipset built on a 12nm process, the Galaxy A22 provides reliable performance for daily tasks such as browsing, social media, and casual gaming. It comes with 4GB or 6GB of RAM and storage options of 64GB or 128GB, expandable via microSD card up to 1 TB. The device runs Android 11 with Samsung’s One UI 3.1, offering a user-friendly interface with features optimized for smooth operation on mid-range hardware.
Camera System
The rear camera setup is versatile, featuring a quad-camera array:
- 48MP main sensor with optical image stabilization (OIS) and autofocus for sharp photos
- 8MP ultra-wide lens with a 123° field of view
- 2MP depth sensor for portrait effects
- 2MP macro camera for close-up shots
The camera system supports Full HD 1080p video recording at 30fps. On the front, a 13MP selfie camera with f/2.0 aperture provides clear and detailed selfies and video calls.
Battery and Charging
Equipped with a large 5,000mAh battery, the Galaxy A22 offers excellent endurance, easily lasting a full day or more under typical usage. It supports 15W fast charging via USB Type-C, sufficient for quick top-ups but not as fast as some competitors.
Connectivity and Features
The phone includes a side-mounted fingerprint sensor, 3.5mm headphone jack, Dolby Atmos support, NFC, Bluetooth 5.0, Wi-Fi 802.11ac dual-band, GPS, and USB Type-C port. It supports dual SIM functionality and offers a plastic build that keeps costs down while maintaining durability.
Price and Availability
At launch, the Galaxy A22 was priced around €250 (~$270), making it an affordable option for users seeking a reliable smartphone with a quality AMOLED display and solid battery life. It is available in colors such as Black, White, Mint, and Violet.
Overall Impression
The Samsung Galaxy A22 is a solid choice for budget-conscious buyers who want a vibrant AMOLED screen with a smooth 90Hz refresh rate and a dependable battery. While the HD+ resolution is a downside for users accustomed to sharper displays, the phone compensates with good color reproduction and fluid performance for everyday tasks. Its camera setup is versatile for the price, though low-light photography and video capabilities are modest. The device’s plastic build and mid-range chipset keep it affordable, making it ideal for casual users and first-time smartphone buyers.
Pros:
- Bright 6.4-inch Super AMOLED display with 90Hz refresh rate
- Large 5,000mAh battery with decent 15W fast charging
- Versatile quad-camera setup with OIS on the main sensor
- Expandable storage and dual SIM support
- Lightweight and comfortable design
Cons:
- HD+ resolution leads to less sharpness compared to Full HD displays
- MediaTek Helio G80 chipset limits heavy gaming and multitasking
- The plastic build feels less premium
- Camera performance is average in low-light conditions
The Samsung Galaxy A22 offers good value for its price segment, especially for users prioritizing display quality and battery life over raw performance or high-resolution screens.
