I would pass this up, despite it being priced well
LongTimeSamsungGuy· Review provided by samsung.com · February 15, 2023
To be fair to all companies, I never review anything after just buying the product. So, I've had the phone now well over a year. I can't say it's the worst phone I've ever had... but it's not far from it.
Here are the major complaints:
1. When on a phone call, the proximity sensor (as in, its against your ear) will fail and without my knowledge, start launching apps, change settings, etc.. all because the "switching the phone to call mode" fails. This is horrible, happens on every call, which makes this phone nearly unusable unless I use either speaker mode or headphones
2. The camera, while ok for the budget range, is all pretty horrible at taking any photos unless you have the steady hands of a zen master. Any mild movements, at all, produces a blurry shot.
3. 7 out of 10 times on a phone call, if you tried to multitask, example: "Ok, let me put you on speaker, and text you the contact details of the person you asked." becomes impossible, as you try to swipe down... its hard to describe.. but unless you press the power button once on a phone call, the phone will have a mind of its own.
4. Double tapping the screen while in sleep mode, you know, to see who just messaged you? or rang you? or to see what notification you just received... isn't a double tap, its a 5-10 tap ordeal... one of the most unresponsive phones I've ever had
5. The finger/touch sensor to unlock the phone is horrible... while of course I can add another "5 fingers" using the same thumb as I always do does the trick, I'm sorry... but just not good enough.
6. Went to a customer to fix his computer. Used my "5g" to download a driver, I noticed I was getting about 500Kb to 1MB a sec... he then connected his phone instead, and was getting 10MB a sec, I asked, what carrier you using... he then gave me the same carrier I was on. :(
7. So many more negatives, that I'm sure no one has gotten this far to read any of it...

Positives:
Battery life so far has been decent
It doesn't seem to overheat while I'm using GPS and having it mounted on my windshield mount in the very hot sun, as other flagships has always overheat quickly
The calls when speaking are clear and no complaints
The price to power value is decent, in other words... games run smooth enough for what this phone is, though don't expect to run ANY proper new gen 3d games
It has a headphone jack and expandable memory... good
Strange things on the A22 5G cellphone
KatzeGuyMale_09· Review provided by Samsung · March 18, 2023
use the A22 5G cellphone. It hasn't been 3 days since the LCD, SPEAKER, MICROPHONE, MACHINE were damaged even though I used them fine. And also why is the A22 5G cellphone if the update is getting longer, the features are getting less. There used to be Smart View, now it's gone, the more it's updated the more bugs, I can turn on Mobile Hotspot on the lock screen. Even though I haven't entered the password yet. If I play a game on the A22 5G cellphone, the Frame Rate is not stable. The Frame Rate has been going up and down, at first it was 60fps suddenly dropping to 08fps. Even though I only played the game Bus Simulator Indonesia. I do not lie.

Good Points: The price was ok for the specs on this Galaxy a22.

Improvement Points: Before the samsung, I owned a Huawei and let me tell you that the Huawei had so many additional options! (For nearly the same price). In the galaxy a22 I dislike the fact that the phone doesn't turn itself on for the morning 's alarm (you need to leave it always on)!!
Camera is not even close of quality and options of my previous p9 lite!!(and that one had only one lens, the galaxy a22 has 3 useless lens. Focus bad, in the dark useless too. Another thing I hate about the camera is that even though I have all filters disabled, I still get photos with some kind of filter, like the skin is plastic. I thought it was me at first, but investigated a bit and found out many people complaining about the same issue. I like photos to be as realistic as possible and it's so annoying that I can take normal photo, people think I have started using filter at my age!!
Not impressed about samsung galaxy. As functionality is worst that a 6 years old phone.
Review of SAMSUNG Galaxy A22 5G - 64 GB, Violet

Good Points: Nice colour.

Plenty of storage, 64GB.

Improvement Points: Not good for left handed people as all the buttons are on the right hand side and if you hold the phone in your right hand you only have one thumb to press the buttons, no good for screen shots as you need to press two buttons with one thumb or use two hands.

My old Samsung had the unlock button on the back, this is far better than on the side. I often touch the side unlock button when I pick up the phone, so when I want to actually use the phone it says I have tried too many times and locks it so I have to use the pattern to unlock it instead of my fingerprint.

Sound is very tinny and often doesn't ring at all when I have WhatsApp messages, people tend to phone me to tell me they have sent me a message!

It's an 'OK' phone but my old Samsung Galaxy A6 was a much better model, wish it had more storage.

I,ve always loved Samsung phones but their designs are not very good now. Will give it a bit more time using it to see if I get used to it otherwise will sell it and find something that isn't a Samsung.
