The Samsung Galaxy A22 is a reasonably priced smartphone with a good price-quality ratio. We discussed the phone in our Samsung Galaxy A22 review. The phone has a neat camera with three lenses, including a 48MP main lens. Furthermore, you can be sure of updates for a long time; for example, Android 12 and Android 13 are on the horizon and a security update will appear every quarter for three years.

Moto G60s

Do you want a slightly larger device that has a fully charged battery even faster? Then maybe the Moto G60s is worth considering.

There is also a quad camera with 64MP main lens and you can quickly open the Google Assistant thanks to the physical button for this. Unfortunately, no statements have been made about the update policy, although the device will receive an update to Android 12.
