Ho Chi Minh City is currently implementing Directive 16, enforcing a 15-day lockdown citywide, with the possibility of extension depending on the pandemic situation. As we might be staying indoors for an extended period, here's introducing a smartphone to keep you entertained during these days - Galaxy A22.
After using the Galaxy A22 for a while, here are some insights and suggestions on activities you can engage in during the 15-day lockdown period with this smartphone.
First 5 days: Testing out the OIS stabilizing camera

For those who don't know, the Galaxy A22 is currently the most affordable and possibly the only Samsung smartphone in this price range equipped with a premium optical image stabilization (OIS) system, definitely worth it!
The camera setup includes: A 48 MP main sensor, an 8 MP ultra-wide-angle lens with a 123-degree field of view, a 2 MP depth sensor, and finally, a 2 MP macro lens. On the front, there's a 13 MP selfie camera with various filters and playful stickers for your selfies.
Below is a very interesting vlog video showcasing all the features of the Galaxy A22 that we filmed during the lockdown days, check it out!
In everyday conditions, the Galaxy A22 performs well as expected. In more challenging situations like low light, while filming inside a dimly lit room or cooking noodles with the fridge open, you'll appreciate the strong performance of the OIS.
The frames are now more stable with less blur, and the colors produced are quite decent, with minimal distortion. Particularly when zooming in for photos, OIS contributes to sharper images by stabilizing the lens.
If you're stuck at home for a few weeks, try creating a short vlog with the Galaxy A22 and share it on social media platforms. This smartphone will surely surprise you.
Next 5 days: Movie marathon time

Movie theaters in Vietnam are all closed now, and production companies are starting to release movies on digital platforms like Netflix, Disney+, Amazon Prime,... there are plenty of blockbusters and great TV shows available!
The visual experience on the Galaxy A22 is truly impressive with its wide 6.4-inch Super AMOLED display, reaching up to 600 nits of brightness. Colors on the Galaxy A22 are vibrant, lively, with deep blacks, making it comfortable for late-night movie marathons without straining your eyes.

It's a bit disappointing that the A22's display resolution is only HD+, but it's not a deal-breaker as the pixel density still reaches around 274 ppi.
Despite a minor drawback, the overall movie-watching and YouTube experience on the Galaxy A22 in the sub-6 million VND segment is quite good in my opinion.
Last 5 days: Dive into social media and news channels to stay informed

During the final days, city authorities often announce the next steps, which could involve extending or lifting the lockdown. So, make sure to stay updated through social media platforms.
I usually use the Google News app to get updates from various major news sources, along with social media channels like Facebook, which have strong dissemination capabilities.
One plus point for the Galaxy A22 is its 90Hz refresh rate display, making every swipe on this device much smoother and minimizing latency. After using it, you probably won't want to go back to traditional 60Hz smartphones.

For all those needs, it's impossible for the Galaxy A22 to have a small battery. With 5,000 mAh, it's more than enough for a full day of continuous use, covering all kinds of tasks.
The long battery life is thanks to the HD+ resolution display paired with the power-efficient Helio G80 processor. Plus, the device supports 15W fast charging, so you can quickly recharge your Galaxy A22.
Conclusion

Regardless of the circumstances, since we're in lockdown, try to create more joy at home through entertainment activities. I believe the Galaxy A22 won't disappoint you.
A22 offers you reliable photo and video capturing with OIS stabilization, unlimited movie enjoyment with a large AMOLED screen, smooth browsing with 90Hz, and a large enough battery to handle all those tasks.
Currently, Mytour is offering a big discount of 420,000 VND (now only 5.47 million VND) when purchasing the Galaxy A22 online from today until 11:00 PM tomorrow (July 18th). Limited quantity, so buy now before it's gone.
