The Galaxy A22 5G was one of the cheapest 5G Samsung smartphones released in 2021. This place was taken by the Galaxy A13 5G, which had about the same set of characteristics.

The listing, unfortunately, does not say anything about the smartphone, except for the nickname and model number. However, the phone has the model number SC-56B. It was launched as Samsung Galaxy A22 in Japan back in October 2022. This leads us to believe that the upcoming Samsung Galaxy A22e 5G. It may be a rebranded version of the Samsung Galaxy A22 5G, but the Japanese version is slightly different.

In terms of camera, the device is pretty basic, with just one 13-megapixel camera and an LED flash. For selfies and video calls, there is an 8-megapixel camera inside the waterdrop notch. The phone charges with just 10W and has a 4000mAh battery. Some of its features include a 3,5mm headphone jack, 5G, NFC, and full GPS. The phone also has an IP68 rating, making it waterproof. Unfortunately, it lacks a fingerprint scanner, so users will rely on the face unlock feature.
The standard variant is available in India and Europe. The A22e variant is inferior in almost every aspect. We are interested to see what the company's strategy will be in connection with this launch.
