Samsung is treading new paths in the mid-range this year: Some models have two smartphones with the same name, but different wireless technology: One comes with 4G and one with 5G, which is also the case for the quite inexpensive Samsung Galaxy A22.
In this review, we'll look at the variant with the faster mobile network, the Samsung Galaxy A22 5G. It's bigger than the 4G version, it has a fancier design, and the smartphones also differ considerably in terms of internal components.
With prices starting at 229 Euros (~$268), the 5G Samsung phone is an affordable mid-range smartphone. It has to face a wide array of strong opponents, which should make this review interesting.

Case – Unknown display glass
The case of the Samsung Galaxy A22 5G definitely has a high-quality design that is somewhat reminiscent of current iPhones: A slightly more angular finish on the sides and a back side that features a silky shimmer and a matte finish in dark gray, white, or light violet. The smartphone feels good in the hand.
Samsung uses plastic on the back, but nothing has been reported about the display glass on the front, which makes it difficult to assess the display's resistance to shattering. The build quality itself seems high, but a clear cracking noise can be heard when the smartphone is twisted. Strong pressure applied with the fingers to the front and back doesn't get through to the liquid crystal of the display.
The smartphone is by no means light at 203 grams, but it's not much heavier than other smartphones in this price range.

64 GB of eMMC flash memory and 4 GB of RAM are a decent configuration in this phone class, and a 128 GB version is also available for a reasonable premium of 20 Euros (~$23). It's nice that Samsung also considered NFC, since this allows mobile payments and other services.
Although the USB port is designed as a USB-C port, it only supports USB 2.0 speeds internally, which means that wired data transfers can take a while.

Software – Not much is known about updates
Android 11 is preinstalled on the smartphone, and Samsung adds its own OneUI 3.1 on top. The security patches date back to May 2021 at the time of testing, requiring therefore an update.
Samsung hasn't disclosed how many software updates there will be for the cheaper Galaxy A models, which also include the Galaxy A22 5G. However, at least an update to Android 12 is likely based on our experience. The manufacturer runs an information page regarding Android updates.
Many Samsung apps and also some third-party apps are found on the smartphone, and not all of them can be fully uninstalled.
A DRM-L1 certification has been carried out, which means that streaming content can be viewed in HD quality.
Communication and GNSS – Stable WLAN in the Galaxy phone
The Samsung Galaxy A22 5G's name already implies that it offers fast Internet. There's still room for improvement in terms of frequency range, especially for LTE, but users who aren't constantly traveling around the world should be able to manage with the frequencies available.
We found the signal strength to be rather mediocre in our sample test; only 2 out of 5 bars are often available in areas where other smartphones have full reception.
We also examine the Wi-Fi speed with our Netgear Nighthawk AX12 reference router. The Galaxy smartphone performs very well here. Although Wi-Fi 6 isn't available, the class-standard Wi-Fi 5 is, and the test device achieves pretty high transfer rates, even in contrast to the comparison devices. Furthermore, the rates measured remain very stable throughout the duration of the test.

The smartphone's positioning system proves to be very fast outdoors, and it can determine our location with an accuracy of up to 2 meters without any major delays, which is very good. It detects satellites belonging to the GPS, GLONASS, Galileo, and BeiDou networks. In addition, it also uses a satellite of the SBAS support system, making the positioning even more accurate.
The smartphone has to show what it can do in our field test, a bike ride with the Galaxy A22 5G and the Garmin Edge 520 navigator. The correct lane isn't shown accurately in the bridge section, and curves are left out a few times, but the overall positioning accuracy is good, especially considering the price range.
Telephone and call quality – Samsung phone with clear voice transmission
Samsung's in-house phone app is used in our test device. It focuses more on the numeric keypad than Google's standard Android app, but it's still straightforward and easy to use. VoLTE and VoWiFi are naturally on board.
The overall call quality is convincing: Even fairly loud or quiet voices are picked up reliably by the microphone. The person on the other end sounds clear, and they perceive our voice intelligibly as well.
Cameras – No direct zoom
There are three cameras at the back, although only the main camera and the wide-angle camera can actually be used for taking pictures. The third lens is only used to support portrait shots.
The main camera has a resolution of 48 megapixels, but usually, only pictures with a quarter of the resolution are generated. This is due to the fact that every four pixels are combined into one in order to increase the light yield. Pictures with 12 megapixels are also completely sufficient for the vast majority of use cases. However, users can also take pictures with the full resolution in a special mode if they want to.
The pictures taken with the main camera are modest in terms of color reproduction, which is more true to nature but makes images appear a bit less vibrant. When it comes to detail sharpness, the camera is only mediocre. Clear pixel artifacts are visible in surfaces. Under low light and high contrasts, the camera does a reasonably good job of lighting subjects; it can still show details, and it does a pretty good job overall.
The wide-angle lens can be used for snapshots, but you shouldn't zoom in too much, because details aren't displayed with clarity. You can only zoom by directly switching between the main and wide-angle lenses; intermediate levels aren't possible.
Videos can be recorded with the main camera at a maximum of 2K resolution and at 30 fps. In general, recording at more than 30 fps isn't supported. Switching between lenses is only possible before starting the video recording. Usually, the autofocus appears to be quite fast, but it repeatedly takes a while until it focuses on the subject that is actually desired, and it also pumps briefly from time to time. Exposure is sometimes adjusted very abruptly, but at least it's nearly stepless when it changes.

Contrast is decent in good lighting conditions, but individual details blur a bit towards the edges. In low light, you can actually only make out the outlines of subjects in the pictures.
Accessories and warranty – 15-watt charger included
Besides a charger with a maximum capacity of 15 watts and a charging cable, the smartphone only comes with a SIM tool. At the time of writing at least, there are no special accessories for the Galaxy A22 5G available on Samsung's website. If you want another 15-watt charger, you can buy it directly from Samsung for just under 15 Euros (~$18).
Samsung offers a 24-month warranty for the smartphone in Central Europe. There are many repair options: From mobile repair buses that drive across countries at certain dates to local service centers or the option of sending the device in. You can also see what an out-of-warranty repair will cost online if you want to.
Input devices and handling – Fingerprint sensor integrated into the standby button
The touchscreen can be controlled very precisely, and the physical buttons are very easy to find. Furthermore, the hardware buttons fit perfectly into the case.
The standby button is also the fingerprint sensor. It recognizes the finger that is placed on it reliably, but it needs a brief moment to unlock the device.
Except for the volume rocker and the standby button, there are no physical buttons like for Google Assistant or a camera shutter release, for example.
Display – Decent in low light
Unlike the Galaxy A22 4G, the 5G model doesn't come with an OLED display. That alone wouldn't be too bad, but the IPS panel in the Galaxy A22 5G is quite dim: With a maximum of 418 cd/m², it reaches much less brightness than the display in the Nokia X10, for example. This can be a problem especially in bright environments.
The brightness distribution is quite uneven as well: The darkest area on the display is only 76% as bright as the brightest area.
Despite its low price, however, the Galaxy A22 5G has a Full HD panel, something that we find quite commendable in this price range. In addition, the display also supports 90 Hz, resulting in a smoother experience when scrolling and using the device.

ℹTo dim the screen, some notebooks will simply cycle the backlight on and off in rapid succession - a method called Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) . This cycling frequency should ideally be undetectable to the human eye. If said frequency is too low, users with sensitive eyes may experience strain or headaches or even notice the flickering altogether.| Screen flickering / PWM detected | 147 Hz | ≤ 10 % brightness setting | |
The display backlight flickers at 147 Hz (Likely utilizing PWM) Flickering detected at a brightness setting of 10 % and below. There should be no flickering or PWM above this brightness setting. The frequency of 147 Hz is very low, so the flickering may cause eyestrain and headaches after extended use. In comparison: 52 % of all tested devices do not use PWM to dim the display. If PWM was detected, an average of 22211 (minimum: 5 - maximum: 3846000) Hz was measured. |
We register a slight PWM flickering below 10% brightness, which helps to further reduce the display's brightness. The frequency could definitely be problematic for sensitive users, which is why we recommend testing the smartphone display at low brightness levels before buying it.
A slight blue tint becomes visible when we use the spectrophotometer and the CalMAN software to assess the display. Color reproduction is acceptable, but some red and orange tones are significantly inaccurate. Users who want to be absolutely sure that they're seeing the right colors on the display will probably be wrong here.
ℹDisplay response times show how fast the screen is able to change from one color to the next. Slow response times can lead to afterimages and can cause moving objects to appear blurry (ghosting). Gamers of fast-paced 3D titles should pay special attention to fast response times.| ↔ Response Time Black to White | ||

Outdoors, the dim display makes it hard to make out anything when the sun is shining brightly.
The display's viewing angles are decent. At most, a very slight darkening of the image can be seen when tilting the device.
Performance – MediaTek SoC brings improvements
A MediaTek Dimensity 700 is the SoC installed in the Samsung Galaxy A22 5G. The predecessor, the Galaxy A21s, still came with an in-house Exynos SoC that wasn't really able to keep up with other smartphones in the price range. But this time, things are different: The Galaxy A22 5G even manages to take the lead in the benchmarks at times.
However, the smartphone still lags slightly behind in terms of graphics performance. However, the differences compared to the rest of the smartphones should hardly be really noticeable in everyday use, since they are too small for that.
Overall, Samsung has made a better choice in terms of the SoC in this generation, at least in the 5G model, and it has also been decently optimized. Although stutters might occur in everyday use from time to time, they're more likely to happen when running very demanding apps or performing several tasks at the same time.

When it comes to browser performance, the smartphone also proves to be very capable. It can outperform most comparison devices in the benchmarks, but the Nokia X10 and the Motorola Moto G50 are still a bit faster overall.
There's a slight lag when loading large websites in everyday use, and you have to wait for images to load from time to time. All in all, however, the browsing experience is quite fast.

The Samsung Galaxy A22 5G paints a sad picture when it comes to storage speed: The slow eMMC flash memory can't keep up with the UFS storage in the Galaxy A32 5G or the Xiaomi Redmi Note 10 5G.
Overall, data transfers take longer than on similarly priced devices, and loading times are longer as well.

Games – Surprise in 2D games
The Galaxy phone has a surprise in store when it comes to our gaming benchmarks: In our fps measurements with GameBench's software, the smartphone achieves very high frame rates in the fast 2D shooter Armajet. Admittedly, they fluctuate heavily between 65 and 90 fps, but that's more than some higher-priced smartphones reach in this game. Samsung appears to have optimized its smartphone here.
However, in 3D games like PUBG, the performance that is typical for the class is seen again, namely that a maximum of 40 fps is achieved, and that this isn't that stable, either. If you have very high requirements as a gamer, you'll probably have to spend more money, but users who like to play fast 2D games and want high frame rates still have good chances with the Galaxy A22 5G.
The controls are also reliable, and the touchscreen responds quickly.

The Samsung phone's surface heats up to a maximum of 41.1 °C (~106 °F) under load. The hottest areas are found in the smartphone's upper area around the camera. The temperature increase is within the usual range and shouldn't lead to any problems in normal ambient temperatures.
Furthermore, performance doesn't seem to be affected by the temperature increase as the endurance benchmarks show: In the 3DMark Wild Life Stress Test, for example, performance is still 99% of the initial performance after having run the benchmark 20 times.

The speaker at the bottom has to do its job alone, meaning that the phone only offers mono sound. At up to 83.5 dB(A), it can produce a fairly strong sound, but bass and low mids are hardly available, and sound isn't very powerful overall. The comparison with the Galaxy A32 5G clearly shows the difference; you get a considerably fuller and more balanced sound there.
At least you don't have to deal with overemphasized trebles in our test device, and you can still listen at full volume without your ears ringing. Dolby Atmos can also be activated in the settings to improve sound, but we only noticed a minimal difference.
Audio output via Bluetooth and wired headphones works well, but you'll have to do without the aptX HD codecs used for improving sound during wireless playback.

Battery life – Samsung's phone charges slowly
In terms of power consumption, the Samsung phone is on par with its class and even proves to be slightly less taxing than the competition in some idle scenarios. Consumption is also moderate under load, while the Samsung Galaxy A32 5G in particular proved to be very power-hungry here.

The 5,000 mAh battery enables a decent endurance that is considerably better than that of the Galaxy A21s. The step towards a MediaTek SoC in comparison to the in-house Exynos chips was probably worth it here.
With over 19 hours in our Wi-Fi test, the smartphone should easily survive two workdays without charging. This eases the situation when the battery level drops below 30%: The smartphone doesn't need to be plugged in right away but still has many hours of normal use ahead of it instead.
The battery charges at a maximum of 15 watts. In view of current charging technologies of 30 or even 65 watts, this is quite low. You shouldn't be surprised if it occasionally takes over 2 hours for the smartphone to be fully charged again, or if you can't get that much power into the battery in a short period of time.

Verdict – Better with MediaTek
The Samsung Galaxy A22 5G demonstrates quite impressively that the Koreans are capable of designing great smartphones when they're not tied to the limitations of the in-house Exynos SoCs. A MediaTek SoC is used here, which allows the test device to provide long battery life and decent performance without overheating.
Most of the smartphone's aspects hardly leave any room for criticism given the device's price range: The Wi-Fi signal is very stable and fast in our test, the positioning is reasonably accurate, and 5G connectivity is available, but the smartphone also has to struggle with a somewhat weak signal strength.
The fact that Samsung hasn't provided any information about possible updates and refers here to the fast-changing technology is a bit lame, in our opinion; after all, other manufacturers are managing to succeed in this respect. For example, Nokia offers an update guarantee for three Android versions with the Nokia X10.
The Galaxy A22 5G had a small surprise in store in terms of gaming when it achieved very high frame rates in Armajet and went beyond 60 fps.
The Samsung Galaxy A22 5G is a fast mid-range smartphone with a somewhat slow storage, but it can convince in many areas.
The Galaxy A32 5G, also from Samsung, is even a bit faster, and it packs a better speaker. The Xiaomi Redmi Note 10 5G has a significantly brighter display.
At the time of writing, the Samsung Galaxy A22 5G is a bit hard to come by in the United States. You can currently find it on Amazon both in the mint and violet versions with 128 GB of storage and 8 GB of RAM for around $365.
