I have reviewed it with the experience of using this phone. Under the Samsung A series, this phone is available in four colour options. You can buy it by choosing your favourite colour option from Black, Mint, Violet and White.
In terms of storage, the mobile with 4 GB RAM is available in 64 GB and 128 GB storage options while the phone with 6 GB RAM has 128 GB storage. The violet colour phone I am using has 4 GB RAM and 64 GB storage.
When I used Samsung Galaxy A22, it felt very soft, light, slim and very handy. It has a 6.4-inch HD Plus Super AMOLED display with a 90 Hz refresh rate.
This combination of displays seems to have helped to increase the performance of the battery. The experience could have been more enjoyable if the HD had been replaced by a full HD or full HD plus display and a punch hole instead of a waterdrop notch.
Because the resolution is only HD plus, there is a problem with cropping while watching video on full screen. However, at a glance, the bezels do not appear on the phone. Which makes the look very attractive. The phone has a 13-megapixel selfie camera on the front.
Which can capture HD video at a rate of 30 frames. Due to this, this phone makes you feel good even in a video call or conferencing. Based on Octacore CPU and Android 11, this phone uses MediaTek Helio G80 chipset.
Which is also placed in Galaxy A32 and M32. It is natural to want a newer or more advanced processor in the latest phone. But, even with the old processor, there was no problem in playing normal games, shooting videos and watching.
The Samsung Galaxy A22 has volume and power buttons on the right side. The power button also serves as a side-mounted fingerprint. I found that it responded very well. It's too fast.
You can also set it to open the camera or any other certain app by pressing the same button twice. You don't have to go to the menu to open an app that you have to use a lot. The security option of this phone also has the option of face recognition.
It works very well in daylight. Behind it is a bar quad (four) camera setup. It has a 48-megapixel main camera.
Some may wonder why this budget phone is only 48 megapixels. Along with 48 megapixels, it also has optical image stabilization on expensive phones. Which is not the same price range as the Galaxy M32. So the camera of this phone felt even more special.
Because when you take a photo or video from the main camera, you can get some stabilization. Samsung has also launched M32 in the same price range. Some of the specifications are the same, including the processor chipset.
Although the A22 is a bit better in terms of looks, the M32 looks ahead in terms of camera, battery, and screen resolution. The main camera has an F1.8 aperture, so you can take good photos and videos even in low light.
It also has an 8-megapixel ultraviolet camera. Which is hard to find on other phones at such a cheap price. The phone also has a 2 megapixel macro and depth sensor.
The bump for the camera setup (the raised part of the camera) is also not very large. Due to which there is no problem in keeping or taking out the goji. The back cover seemed to be essential for the security of the camera.
And the other thing is that even though it looks nice, the body of this phone has a plastic cover. The advantage of that is that you don't feel hot when playing games or watching videos. I have no complaints about its battery.
Under normal use, it lasts for two days. Even if you play a lot of games or use social media a little more, you don't have to worry for the whole day after a full charge. With a 5,000 mAh capacity battery, this phone has 15-watt fast charging support.
Due to which it takes about one and a half hours to be fully charged. This is also natural. The phone has a noise cancellation mic on the top and a speaker, type C charging port, mic and 3.5mm audio jack port on the bottom side.
There is also a SIM tray on the left side, which has a dedicated slot that can hold a micro SD card of up to one TB along with two SIMs. Overall, looking at a mobile phone is nice.
Even if the processor looks old, this phone is enough to play normal games, take good photos and videos and watch. Games like Pubji, Free Fire also work well on this phone. And while playing a game like that, you don't even feel the phone getting hot.
Another thing is the optical image stabilization of the camera of an expensive phone is given in this phone. The ultraviolet camera has helped to further enhance the picture quality. Finally, let's talk about its value.
The Samsung A22 Forge is available in Nepal with 6 GB RAM and 128 GB storage. The price is set at Rs 28,000.
