Samsung Galaxy A22 price

The phone was officially announced on June 3, 2021, and the company reported that it would arrive in the market in the same month. Unfortunately, the pricing plans for the phone were not revealed, which is a decision from Samsung that we do not know the real reason for. It is worth noting that the company launched a 5G version at a price of $ 280, so we may expect That the price of $ 240 is set for the 4G version, which is equivalent to 3750 pounds.

We still do not know the official price yet for all versions and what markets will get the phone first, but this article will be updated as soon as any official details are received from the company regarding that information.

Phone features

The design is good and the materials are not bad, the good screen size certainly contributed to this, which has the effect that the user will use the phone normally with one hand and will not feel any inconveniences regarding holding it in his hand
The Super AMOLED screen is very good, although it is only HD+ quality but that can be forgiven since it supports a refresh rate of 90Hz
A good processor, certainly not the best that you can get in this price category, but it will provide an acceptable performance experience, and what helps it is the smoothness of the software
The phone comes with many versions in order for every user to find the right version to use
Acceptable rear camera module, the main camera in particular takes good pictures that you can proudly share on various social media
A giant battery that will certainly suffice a full day of hard use without a doubt, the fast charging capacity is somewhat slow but it is acceptable for Samsung’s flagship phones come with a fast charging capacity of 25 watts only
The colors of the phone are very youthful and integrate well with all fashion trends, I really wish all the upcoming Samsung phones came in those colors

Phone defects

There is no protection layer on the screen, the surrounding frame is also plastic and not aluminum, so users should beware of hitting the phone with any strong surface so as not to damage the screen
The performance of the screen during daylight under the sun is definitely not ideal, so we recommend that you raise the screen brightness at all times of the day
Why didn't Samsung use a slightly better processor? Of course we're not asking for a Snapdragon 888 but we were hoping to see a Snapdragon 720G or MediaTek G95
The quality of video shooting with the rear camera does not rise to what we see in the Samsung phone in 2021, we appreciate a lot that Samsung definitely wants to reduce expenses so that the phone is offered at an affordable price for the user, but we hope that the video capture experience will be much better
The fingerprint sensor is not under the screen, although it is an AMOLED model, as we mentioned above, we are sure that Samsung wants to reduce the price of the phone as much as possible, but not to that degree!

Are there better options out there that offer more value for money than that phone? To answer that question, we are going to compare the Samsung Galaxy A22 with the other best options available in addition to the 5G version.
