The Samsung Galaxy M22 (Galaxy M22) has arrived, promising a compelling blend of features and affordability. This in-depth review covers my experience using the Middle East version of this Dual SIM Black smartphone boasting 4GB of RAM and 64GB of internal storage, exploring its performance, camera capabilities, and overall user experience.

My testing involved daily use – from browsing and messaging to gaming and photography – to provide a comprehensive assessment of its strengths and weaknesses.

Key Features

The Galaxy M22 immediately impresses with its sleek design. The 6.4-inch Super AMOLED display is vibrant and responsive, offering a rich viewing experience. Its 90Hz refresh rate makes scrolling incredibly smooth. The in-display fingerprint sensor provides a convenient and fast unlocking method. The inclusion of a large 5000mAh battery promises all-day usage, and it certainly delivered in my tests.

The quad-camera system, featuring a 48MP main sensor, promises high-quality photography, while the inclusion of an ultrawide lens expands creative possibilities. I was curious to see how these features performed in real-world scenarios.

Performance & Battery

Powered by the MediaTek Helio G80 processor and 4GB of RAM, the Galaxy M22 handled everyday tasks with ease. Browsing, messaging, and light multitasking were smooth and responsive. While not a gaming powerhouse, I found it capable of running most games without significant lag, though graphically intensive titles may experience some frame drops.

The 5000mAh battery truly lived up to its promise. Even with heavy usage, I consistently achieved over a day of use on a single charge. Fast charging was also a welcome addition, significantly reducing charging time.

Camera Performance

The Galaxy M22’s camera system produced decent results in well-lit conditions. The 48MP main sensor captured sharp and detailed images. The ultrawide lens was useful for capturing expansive landscapes, though image quality did slightly diminish at the edges. The macro lens was a fun addition, allowing for detailed close-up shots, although its performance in low-light conditions was not ideal.

Low-light photography showed some noise, but the results were still usable. Video recording capabilities were solid, offering smooth 1080p video capture.

Pros & Cons

• Pros: Stunning AMOLED display, long-lasting battery, smooth performance for everyday tasks, affordable price, decent camera performance in good light.
• Cons: Performance can lag under heavy loads, low-light camera performance could be improved, some compromises in build quality given the price point.

Final Verdict

The Samsung Galaxy M22 (Galaxy M22) offers a great value proposition. The impressive AMOLED display, long battery life, and smooth daily performance make it a strong contender in its price range. While the camera and processing power have limitations, they don’t significantly detract from the overall positive experience. If you’re looking for a reliable and affordable smartphone with a beautiful display, the Galaxy M22 is a worthy option.
