A few days ago, reports surfaced that Samsung had begun developing the successor to the Galaxy A21. According to sources, this new device will be named the Galaxy A22.
Today, the Galaxy A22 has been listed on Geekbench with the model number SM-A226B. The model number confirms that the device will also support 5G connectivity, and Geekbench also revealed the phone’s chipset.
As shown above, the Galaxy A22 5G will be powered by the Dimensity 700 chipset. The Galaxy A22 4G is expected to use a different chipset, such as the Helio G80 or Helio G90, which do not support 5G networks.
The Dimensity 700 is an octa-core chipset built on a leading 7nm process, delivering up to 28% higher power efficiency than an 8nm process. The chipset has two Cortex-A76 cores and six Cortex-A55 cores.
This phone scored 562 points in the single-core test and 1765 points in the multi-core test. Considering it is positioned as an entry-level to mid-range device, this is quite impressive. It also comes with 6GB of RAM and runs Android 11.
The renders of the Galaxy A22 have also been revealed, confirming that the phone features a V-shaped notch display. The back of the phone features a triple camera system in a square module.
The phone also has a USB Type-C port and a 3.5mm headphone jack. The device is expected to launch around June 2021.
