Editorial report
Samsung Galaxy A22 4 GB / 128 GB / Americas / SM-A225M technical sheet
The Samsung Galaxy A22 suits buyers looking for a Super AMOLED display and several camera options, and willing to accept weaker performance and slower charging than most phones launched around the same time. Its 6.4-inch display combines 720 × 1600 px resolution with a 90 Hz refresh rate, and includes Always-On Display. That makes it a fit for buyers who value an AMOLED screen and want information visible without fully waking the display.
Its camera stands better than that of most phones launched around the same time. The 48 MP rear camera has optical image stabilization; the setup also includes an 8 MP ultrawide camera and 2 MP macro and depth sensors. The front camera is 13 MP. This version has 64 GB of storage, with expandable storage; the Galaxy A22 is also sold in 4 GB / 128 GB and 6 GB / 128 GB configurations.
Performance is worse than that of most phones from its time, a notable drawback for buyers who prioritize processing power. The 5000 mAh battery capacity is typical for its time, but 15 W fast charging is slower than on most phones launched around the same time. At 8.4 mm thick, it is thinner than most of its contemporaries. Overall, the Galaxy A22 is typical for its time, with a NeoScore of 5.1. It is best suited to buyers who prioritize an AMOLED display and camera versatility over performance and fast charging.
