Samsung Galaxy A22 5G price in Malaysia starts from RM899, putting it in the budget 5G bracket. The Dimensity 700 5G chipset handles the connectivity side, paired with 8GB RAM and 128GB storage that's expandable via a dedicated microSD slot. The 6.6-inch display runs at 90Hz, a step up from standard 60Hz panels at this price, though it's a TFT panel rather than AMOLED.

On the back sits a 48MP main camera with PDAF, joined by a 5MP ultrawide and 2MP depth sensor. The 8MP front camera handles selfies. None of these are flagship-grade sensors, but they cover the basics for daily shooting.

Battery capacity is 5000mAh, enough for a full day under normal use, though charging tops out at 15W so it won't fill up fast. The phone runs Android 11 with One UI Core 3.1, and there's no NFC here, worth noting if contactless payments matter to you. It ships in Gray, White, Mint and Violet.
