Samsung Galaxy A22's 5 Best Features!

In Mint colorway

1. Modern, minimalist design - Out of the box, the Galaxy A22 is an eye-catching phone. It clearly follows the design language of the modern Galaxy phones with the premium look and feels.

The front panel is made of glass while the back panel is made of high-quality glasstic. In between the two is the polycarbonate frame. Upon closer inspection, the polycarbonate frame is painted in a Mint colorway with a matte-like texture. This texture provides a better grip.

The curved polycarbonate frame and the curved back glasstic panel give the phone a sleeker look while making it easier to hold.

The phone is surprisingly lightweight in the hand at only 186 grams. The phone is sized just right at 159.3 x 73.6 x 8.4mm, making it comfortably fit into our pants pocket.

90Hz refresh rate Super AMOLED display

2. Vivid, vibrant display - The 6.4-inch curved Super AMOLED display is in front with a 90Hz refresh rate, 720 x 1600 resolution. This means that the panel can detect and register multiple taps and gestures simultaneously.

The panel produces bright images with deep blacks, vibrant color, and decently sharp images.

Around the panel are slim top and side bezels with a notch on the top bezel. The slim bezels reduce distraction that makes the display more immersive.

PCMark battery benchmark

3. Long-lasting battery life - Inside is a large 5,000mAh battery. This battery with OneUI and Helio G80 managed to endure over 10 hours and 47 minutes of our usual PCMark Battery benchmark.

In our time with the phone, the phone managed to last thru a 12 hour day with 25 percent of battery left. We used it as our daily driver, where we used it for calls, texts, instant messaging, web surfing, video and audio streaming, Waze, and social media.

That's lit!

The phone supports Samsung's 15W Adaptive Fast Charging. It takes around 2 hours to charge the phone from 0 to 100 percent.

Rear quad-camera

4. Capable cameras - On the notch in front of the phone is the 13MP f/2.2 selfie camera while at the back is the quad camera. It is made up of a 48MP f/1.8 main camera with OIS, 8MP f/2.2 ultra-wide camera, 2MP f/2.4 macro, and 2MP f/2.4 depth sensor. 

What makes the Galaxy A22 unique in its price range is that it is the most affordable Galaxy Phone with OIS. This reduces the shake and vibration from the 1920 x 1080 at 30 fps footage from its rear cameras.

5. Price - At PHP 11,990 SRP, the Samsung Galaxy A22 is looking to be a good pick for people who want a phone with an eye-catching design, long battery life, a 90Hz refresh rate display, and good cameras with optical image stabilization.

Those are our 5 best features of the Galaxy A22. 

Bonus: The Galaxy A22 runs with the modern Android 11 OS with One UI Core 3.1. It is a lightweight and feature-rich operating system which provides smooth operations. Samsung also recently improved its update commitment for most of its smartphones. Likely, the A22 will be a part of that.
