Screen
Galaxy A22 5G has a 6.6-inch screen with a resolution of 1,080 x 2,400 pixels. The model without 5G has a slightly smaller screen of 6.4 inches with a resolution also lower of 720 x 1,600 pixels. Curiously, the most modest model has an OLED screen which is of better quality on paper. Both models have a refresh rate of 90 Hz.
Cameras
In both models the main camera has 48 MP and f/1.8. The rest of the cameras are similar, with a Ultra Wide Angle lens of 5 MP and f/2.2 (8 MP in the model without 5G), and Depth of 2 MP and f/2.4.
In addition to a better Ultra Wide Angle lens, the model without 5G mounts a fourth 5 MP Macro camera.

Galaxy A22 5G has an 8 MP and f/2.0 front camera, while the non-5G model has a 13 MP and f/2.2 front camera. The front camera should be tested to assess which is better, since the megapixel difference may be less relevant than the aperture.
Storage
There are few differences when it comes to storage. Samsung provides the following options on both models:
- 4 GB memory + 64 GB storage
- 4 GB memory + 128 GB storage
- 6 GB memory + 128 GB storage
In addition, the model with 5G comes with another option:
- 8 GB memory + 128 GB storage
Processor
Both models mount a mid-range MediaTek processor. The model without 5G mounts the MediaTek Helio G80 processor with a maximum frequency of 2.0 GHz, and the model with 5G mounts the MediaTek Dimensity 700 5G processor with a maximum frequency of 2.2 GHz.
The processor of the Galaxy A22 5G is more modern and probably faster, but the difference is probably not significant in normal use of the phone.
