Speed Test: Samsung Galaxy A12 vs A22 5G vs A32 5G Comparison! By TechDaily

What's going on guys, my name is wade with tech daily and in this video we're going to be doing a speed test comparison between three of Samsung's budget, a series devices, the a12, the a22 5g and the a32 5g. Now the reason I chose these phones aside from being one after another in the series lineup is because price wise, these phones are pretty close, spec wise. It's really tough to tell them apart and if you're in the market, for a 200 to 300 device and performance is the most important thing to you. I think a real world side-by-side comparison test like this can be super helpful. We're going to go ahead and see how these phones stack up with everyday android, apps, third-party apps gaming and a lot more before we get into all that, though, I just want to briefly go over the specs of each device, so we know what we're working with, but if you aren't interested in that feel free to just jump ahead to the actual speed test. So with the a12, this phone is powered by the MediaTek hello p35 chipset mine also has four gigs of ram and 64 gigs of internal storage, but all of these phones can be specked a little differently with the ram and storage.

So keep that in mind. The a22 5g here has the MediaTek density, 700, 5g, chipset inside six, gigs of ram and 128 gigs of storage and, lastly, the a325g packs the MediaTek density 720, 5g chipset, and the same six gigs of ram and 128 gigs of storage. I think with the specs. You can already see why a real world speed test would be valuable. All three phones have MediaTek processors.

So that's the first thing worth comparing, and you'll also get a good idea of four versus six gigs of ram as well with the a12. Now here are the geek bench scores for each one of these devices. This gives us sort of numeric value of specs and performance to compare right off the bat and this, I think, sort of hints at the theme of this speed test. The a12 is pretty far behind the a225g and a 325g which in turn, I think, are actually a lot closer together than I expected now. Each one of these phones was set up in the exact same way, with the same apps installed on every page.

All the apps have been set up the same way as well, which you'll see the batteries are charged up to 100 percent. I just try and make these tests as fair and straightforward as possible on the software side of things. Everything has also been updated to the latest version of android and one UI core for all three of these phones under the device care page. Here you can confirm the storage and the ram that I mentioned earlier. The device optimization is 100 as well, it's all, as even as I can make it, but one last thing to quickly mention.

The a225g also has an extra feature that the other two phones don't have a high refresh rate 90 hertz display and for this test I'm gonna just leave. That enabled because I want you to see if and when that higher quality display makes a difference with taps touches, swipes and anything else. It won't affect load times for apps or anything like that, but for interacting with the device. I think the a22 5g will look more fluid and responsive and perhaps that's a feature you might want on your smartphone, and it could be a big reason in choosing the a225g already so to start this speed test off, I want to just quickly go through the general android UI and default android and Samsung apps, because I think in average day-to-day use a lot of this stuff is what you'll probably interact with, and what you'll find here is that I think the a225g and a325g are almost identical in launching and loading apps, but the a12 usually takes about a split second or so to bring stuff up, and it doesn't really matter if it's like the full, app or just a menu item or if it's switching between pages, almost always the a12 is gonna. Take that extra little of time to bring up pretty much everything you'll see on screen.

Now this isn't really a big deal in my opinion, and if you didn't have these phones side by side, you might not even notice or care about the a12's. Little delay performance wise once you're, actually in the app there's, really no issues there and that's more important. I think and to be completely honest if texting phone calls web browsing and light social media use are all you're going to do with your phone anyway, then getting something like the a12 and saving a bit of money really isn't a bad move. In this case comparatively, like I've, said in previous videos, you don't necessarily get as noticeable of a difference in spending more money here. If you aren't pushing your phones too hard anyway, price wise, the a12 is like 180 phones, while the a225g and a 325g or 250 or more and that's kind of a considerable price difference at these price points.

That's some 30 cost difference, and you can see here that you're probably not getting a 30 better phone. If you aren't going to push the devices too hard and when we get into like Twitter and Instagram and YouTube these popular apps are pretty well optimized too, for even the budget devices, so you're not really going to see much of a difference in performance here either. All in all, this, I think, is where these budget phones really shine and for most people any one of these devices is going to be more than enough, but the a12 in this case I think, offers considerable amount of value. Also, just as a quick side note, the difference between four and six gigs of ram here also doesn't appear to be a game changer. Yet you can see that all three of these phones switch between apps perfectly fine.

Most everything stays loaded up. Yes, the a12 takes another second or so to bring up the app. Sometimes you're still going to see that, but with 10 or 15 apps loaded up so long as it's nothing too crazy. All three of these phones keep up pretty nicely and there's no real disadvantage with the a12. Yet, however, when we jump into some bigger graphics, heavy apps like these games, this is where the a12 suddenly falls way behind now for these first few games, I also kept all the other apps we previously launched open and running in the background, and you'll see here in real time that suddenly, the a12 is significantly slower than the a225g and a 325g, and this, I think, has to do with a couple of things.

First, off processor, wise, the a12 chipset is significantly less powerful than the other two phones. We saw that with the geek bench scores at the beginning and when it comes to these bigger, more intense graphics, heavy apps, that's where it's gonna start to choke up a bit more, at least with the initial launch and load times. Furthermore, while four gigs of ram is plenty to keep a dozen android and social media apps current, suddenly, those four gigs aren't quite enough to also handle a big, huge game trying to load up either having only two extra gigs of ram doesn't sound like a lot, but when you're, comparing 4 and 6 gigs. That really is a big difference and, as we load up more and more games, the a12 just gets slower and slower now. Fortunately, when you do finally jump into the game itself, performance wise, the a12 can play the games just fine you're, not at any disadvantage at all, even for online play and there's no real lag or latency or any kind of frame drop, or anything like that I've personally seen, so that's great, and if you have the patience to just sort of wait out those initial couple minutes of load times, then you'll still enjoy playing the games once you're.

Finally, in them, but I think out of everything. This is where the big difference lies between the a12 and the other two devices in this side-by-side test. If gaming specifically, is your thing, it just kind of makes way more sense to spend the extra money and jump to at least the a22 5g for sure you'll see here to that with these last couple of games, I ended up just quitting all the other apps that were running in the background to try and help out the a12 a bit more. In that initial launch time, but even in attempting to just load the one game, the one app and nothing else, it's still a minute or two, sometimes behind the a22 5g and a 325g. So out of everything, I think this is where the difference lies, and this is where you'll kind of need to decide if you're going to be gaming heavily.

If you utilize a lot of graphics, intense apps, if you just aren't willing to wait a minute or two to get into that game. If that's the case, then the a225g or a325g are really worth that extra investment and speaking on those two phones now in particular, just to finish up what's sort of interesting, is that, while the speed and performance are similar, the a22 5g, with its 90 hertz display, actually makes that phone more enticing. In my opinion, I don't think the 720 5g chipset in the a32 5g is that much better than the 700 5g chipset and the a225g, and I'd rather have a high refresh rate display anyway, regardless of those spec differences. So out of everything here, looking beyond just the side by side performance, I do think the a225g is probably what I would choose in the end. Also, if you're curious about the battery longevity, here's where these three phones were sitting after about an hour of flipping through all of these apps, they each have a 5, 000 William battery inside so capacity wise.

It's all the same and, interestingly enough, they seem to drain at a similar rate too. Obviously, there's a lot more factors to consider, but I thought that was at least something interesting to point out. So there you go. Hopefully this speed test and side by side comparison was somewhat helpful. In general, the a12 is a great phone.

If you keep your usage simple, but jumping to the a22, 5g or a325g is really worth it. If gaming is your thing, what do you guys think?
