The Samsung Galaxy A22 5G comes with a large 6.6-inch IPS TFT display. TFT display types are usually not as good as LCD or AMOLED, however, they are cheaper.
It goes without saying Samsung wanted to cut corners with the device and this was one of the ways to do it.
Fortunately, they were thoughtful enough to optimize the display to support a 90Hz refresh rate, which should be ideal for the perfect media and gaming experience.
