The Galaxy A22 5G is powered by a Dimensity 700 processor that is paired with up to 8GB RAM and 128GB internal storage (that is expandable) depending on the region. It gets a better display than the Galaxy A32 5G in the form of a 6.6-inch Full HD+ LCD display with a 90hz refesh rate–though the selfie snapper is slightly downgraded to 8-megapixels.
Going to the rear camera setup, the Galaxy A22 5G settles for a triple rear camera setup, ditching the macro camera and downgrading the ultra-wide-angle camera to 5-megapixels. Like the Galaxy A32 5G, you also get a 5000mAh battery with 15w charging, along with a side-mounted fingerprint scanner.
On the other hand, the Galaxy A22 4G is powered by a Helio G80 processor that is paired with up to 6GB RAM and 128GB internal storage (that is not expandable). While you get a smaller HD+ display on the 4G version, the tradeoff here is that you have an AMOLED panel–and still retain the 90hz refresh rate.
As for the cameras, the Galaxy A22 4G shares the same front and rear cameras as the Galaxy A32 5G, though the main camera has OIS.
