Samsung Galaxy A15 vs Samsung Galaxy A22 5G
Our Verdict: The Galaxy A22 5G is 7 years newer than the Galaxy A15, and it shows in the specs. The A15 has a slightly higher-resolution main camera, 50MP against the A22 5G's 48MP, plus a 13MP selfie camera against 8MP, and only the A22 5G is a 5G phone; the A15 maxes out at 4G. The A15 uses an OLED panel, which gives it richer contrast than the A22 5G's LCD. The A22 5G is the better phone; upgrade from the A15 if you want the newer hardware, or hold on if yours still does the job.
Buying outright, the A15 starts at £85 SIM-free.
