Samsung Galaxy A10 vs Samsung Galaxy A22 5G

Our Verdict: The Galaxy A10 and the Galaxy A22 5G are 12 years apart, which is enough for a real difference. The A22 5G has a far higher-resolution main camera, 48MP against the A10's 13MP, and only the A22 5G is a 5G phone; the A10 maxes out at 4G. There's more battery in the A22 5G, 5000mAh to 3400mAh, which usually means longer between charges, and the A22 5G has the stronger screen, bigger at 6.6" against 6.2" and sharper at 399 PPI. If you're on the A10, the A22 5G is a real step up, but only worth it if the changes above matter to you.

Buying outright, the A22 5G starts at £85 SIM-free.
