Editorial report
Samsung Galaxy A22 5G 8 GB / 128 GB / Global / SM-A226B technical sheet
The Samsung Galaxy A22 5G suits anyone looking for a 5G phone with a large display, but its weight and 15 W charging are clear trade-offs. At 203 g, it is heavier than most phones of its time, and its charging is slower than most. The battery has a capacity of 5,000 mAh.
Its 6.6-inch display has a 1080 × 2400 px resolution and a 90 Hz refresh rate. The phone also includes NFC, a 3.5 mm audio jack, and support for two Nano-SIM cards. Dual-band Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 5.0 are on board. The camera setup consists of a 48 MP camera, a 5 MP ultrawide camera, and a 5 MP depth camera; video recording is available in 4K.
This configuration pairs 4 GB of RAM with 64 GB of storage, and storage can be expanded with a card. The Galaxy A22 5G is also sold in 4 GB / 128 GB, 6 GB / 128 GB, and 8 GB / 128 GB configurations. Overall, it is typical among phones launched around the same time, with a NeoScore of 5.2. It is a reasonable fit for buyers who prioritize 5G connectivity and a large screen and can accept a heavier phone and slower charging.
