Budget-friendly smartphones with decent specs and features have always been on millennials’ wish lists. Samsung has thankfully taken the needs of millennials into account with the launch of its Galaxy F22.
The first version of the mobile offers 4GB RAM + 64GB storage, whereas the second variant packs 6GB RAM with 128 GB storage.
Given the price difference, the Samsung 6GB RAM mobile appears to be a better option. Nevertheless, there is more to explore before we come to a conclusion.
While previously Xiaomi’s Redmi Note 10 managed to offer superb specs at an affordable price, will Samsung Galaxy F22 take it a step up? Let’s see what Samsung’s new release has in store and if it’s worth it.
What’s in the Box?
Unboxing a new gadget is perhaps the most exciting thing to do. The Galaxy F22 comes in a decent white box with specifications printed on the back like all other Samsung phones. Inside the box, you’ll find:
- Handset

Upon sliding your fingers on the phone, you will feel its matte finish. Bonus point, the matte exterior doesn’t let any messy fingerprints get to it. You can choose either the Denim black or Denim blue color, as you prefer.
