A few days ago, it was reported that Samsung had started working on the successor to its Galaxy A21. According to reports, this new device will be named 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 the certification has revealed the phone’s chipset.
As can be seen, the Galaxy A22 5G will be powered by the Dimensity 700 chipset. It is expected that the Galaxy A22 4G will feature a different chipset, like the Helio G80 or G90 chipset, which doesn’t support the 5G network.
The Dimensity 700 is an octa-core chipset based on a leading 7nm production process, which is up to 28% more power-efficient than an equivalent 8nm process. The chipset features two Cortex-A76 cores and six Cortex-A55 cores.
The phone scored 562 points on single-core and 1765 points on multi-core, which seems to be a decent score considering it is in the entry-level to mid-range category. It also features 6GB RAM and runs on Android 11.
The renders of the Galaxy A22 have also been revealed, and it is confirmed that the phone features a V-shaped notched display. On the back, it features a triple camera setup placed in a square-shaped camera bump.
The phone also features a USB Type-C port and a 3.5mm headphone jack. The Galaxy A22 is expected to launch around June 2021.
