SamsungGalaxy A22 Grey 64GB

It does what a smart phone should and is a reasonable price.

The battery on this phone lasts forever. Of course if you waste hours a day on social media, it may be different, but with relative frequent use, I charge only once every few days.Screen resolution is perfect. There are several cameras, and the system works very well. It upgrades to Android 13 automatically. It works in other countries. It has 2 SIM slots.It has a fast processor; I saw benchmarks on GSMARENA site; and I have used it, and can say that it is fast.Lots of memory, and more can be added if you only use one SIM card (not 2).WiFi is vert stable. Good value for money; no need to waste money on more expensive phones. It has 5G (various bands, look on GSMARENA if you are technical).Very good purchase.

Good buy. What is expected from Samsung. Arrived in excellent condition and put to use immediately.

Easy to set up, just swapped SIM card over from my old phone and that was it. Good display. Downloads and installs apps with no problem. Keyboard is a nice size for texting. Battery life is very good. It is a good phone at a very attractive price, easy to use and I am glad that I bought it.You have to be careful of negative reviews on Amazon. I bought a 12 volt battery pack which is very good. A previous review gave it a score of 1 . They had bought it to power an electric fence, they hadn't sized a battery to do that job, when it proved to be too small they rated it at 1 whereas it was their own intelligence that should have been rated at that level.

Had my old J5 for a few years and been very happy with it but decided it was time for an update/upgrade. This model appears to be the successor to the J5 and I'm absolutely delighted with it. It's much zippier generally, opening/switching apps and opening the camera.Other improvements of note- better camera with more options, face recognition (works great), full screen covering the whole phone surface, bigger storage (64gb up from 16gb), more RAM, better chip, still has a good battery (although you can no longer access it)But watch out for- it's bigger than the J5 (but thankfully still fits in my back pocket). The display doesn't seem quite as 'lush' and colourful as the J5, but still excellent nonetheless. Bloatware not too bad but the phone might as well be branded 'Google'. Poor fingerprint-reader affair which is too fiddly and unreliable, especially if your phone is in a case.Conclusion- brilliant phone, easy 5* recommendation from me.

I purchased this a22, 4 months ago and it was a very fast phone especially for the price but I woke up 1 morning to find a black screen, it had been charged fully and still not even an icon showing that it was charging. I tried everything from holding the power button for so many seconds but still nothing? So I had to return it and was extremely upset that the cost had increased so my original refund wouldn't cover the cost of buying a new one and there was no option to replace it. So mixed feelings because it was a good phone for the most part but be aware it could just go and then you realise how much you depend on a tiny device to organise your life.

This phone does everything I need and more. It is very easy to use and seems very responsive. It is quite big compared to my last phone but I am getting used to that now. The battery life is really good and it lasts a few days and charges up very quickly. I use the fingerprint recognition feature on the side of the phone and at times find it a bit fiddly. I would prefer it to be on the back or even the front but that is really just my preference. Overall I would recommend this phone and it was on offer at a great price when I bought it so great value for money.

Pros: Large, sharp screen,very easy to use and responds fast,camera has lots of useful settings,sound is clear and loud enough,text size is super easy to adjust (no reading glasses to read text now), eye protection on/off option is nice. Easy to navigate settings even for a Samsung newbie and controls are quite intuitive.Face rec. is a nice touch, finger print rec. respond. well.5G so better connectivity,Decent battery with fast charging featureReally great value for money.Cons: It feels cheap like cheap plastic...because that is what it is.No screen protector inc. (Must buy) Also must a protective cover as it is doubtful to survive a 5ft drop,Not waterproof,No NFC so can not make contactless paymentsNot 5GVerdict: I have been using Galaxy S series for a decade and it would be unfair to compare the two. If money is not an issue, absolutely get the S22 but in my opinion the 5x higher price tag would Not give you 5x more value for your buck. In short, If you don't worry about paying or swimming with your phone, get the Samsung A22 5G.
