I have this phone and still use it as a secondary phone. I've managed to do some BS with the bootloader and it says that the phone is dangeous to use and can't update anymore to Android 11 which is a good thing. That version makes the phone unusable and made me angry that tried everything to go back to Android 10.

Starjack, 27 Aug 2024The PowerVR GE8320 wasn't really meant for high performance. It just a single cluster GPU... moreYeah, and that, after Android 11 is installed which apparently required 50% more performance allocation makes this phone barely usable in the first 2 weeks of the update. I remember it very correctly that it was a total struggle to use the phone that I had to search on YouTube how to actually strip down all the unnecessary stuff running inside the OS, then it was almost running fine again like it was with the Android versions prior. I appreciate the 2 year update policy but this device sure cannot take the promise. It lags a hell lot after One UI Core 3.1, even the A3 Core performs much better than this. Cortex-A53 is still pretty good in my opinion, It's the fact that it is still being used inside the SD680 SoC mixed with 4x A73 cores and performs better than any Helio under the G90 series with a more modern architecture.
I still remember how glitchy the graphics processing was while It's running Android 9 that most graphical stuff won't even load. Luckily it was software related which comes down to optimization in which Samsung rarely does on their entry level phones except some like the A12s, M14 5G, A14 5G and A15

I have this phone and I can say it's worth to get for a starter phone but over time it starts to show its bad stuff it has this phone wasn't made to load stuff much in so after getting this phone and getting used to it go get a more new phone because there way better

Anonymous, 18 Aug 2024I get that the P22 debuted in 2018, but if only the GPU was a ARM Mali GPU like a Mali-G52 or ... moreThe PowerVR GE8320 wasn't really meant for high performance. It just a single cluster GPU with maybe 32 ALUs or shaders clocked at 650MHz to give about at least 41 GFLOPS of performance inside the P22 chipset. But other than that, Samsung didn't optimize the GPU properly when the A10s was under Android 9 because the GPU itself was missing a Vulkan driver, at least in my experience. I can't say if that's the reason why your device doesn't render stuff as describe but it might be but there can be other factors. Especially when the P22 chipset itself is showing age. Also i don't know about newer phones that are coming out with Cortex-A53, when all I'm seeing is at least Cortex-A55 cores, working in conjunction with either relatively powerful cores like Cortex-A76/78 (like in my device current chipset Exynos 1330) or higher end cores like Cortez-A500/A700 series. Cortex-A53 is pretty much almost extinct.

I have this phone and the A10. Both are the 2/32 version. I bought it very cheap because the power and low volume button was not working. I was able to get new parts for less than $2 US. I now use it as an emergency phone synced to my primary phone. Ive upgraded to Android 11 and all possible updates.
What people here fail to understand is this A model is the budget line of Samsung, so complaining about your game not playing well is not the phones fault, its you for even trying! I only use this to browse, watch a movie or some social media, call and text and it work great. I even use it design AI art(its an app) and it works with minimal lag. Data and wifi works well too. I installed a small 16GB SD card to move pictures and files so I wont use all of the 32G of this phone also.
Know the limits of this budget phone and you wont have much to complain about. Oh, picture wise its acceptable but dont compare it with new phones.

Starjack, 11 Jul 2024The device was really hampered by the update of the OS to Android 11, where most things start ... moreI get that the P22 debuted in 2018, but if only the GPU was a ARM Mali GPU like a Mali-G52 or G71 maybe it would've perform better in loading apps and rendering simple tasks. This PowerVR GPU just doesn't work. It gives no performance help, and I know this while playing games like Roblox as an example, the simplest there is. The GPU just refuses to render, the CPU shown bad throttling boosted up to red latency while testing Jailbreak, while the GPU just showing 0 latency, which means it doesn't process anything hence the graphics aren't gonna be good even if you set it at max. I don't know if this GPU is a single core or dual but it just doesn't work. It's the main culprit of it slowing down very badly. Cortex-A53 is still okay as some of the newer cheap phones still use them for the smaller cores. But this PowerVR GPU is just a no no.

The phone started slowing down and even randomly rebooting after the Android 11 update even though the hardware is still good. Planned obsolescence I guess

Anonymous, 26 Mar 2024Waiting for the money is the answer. I've been using this phone 2-3 months after It'... moreThe device was really hampered by the update of the OS to Android 11, where most things start to slow down including gaming. I know this because i used to have this device and it was performing better under Android 10. So I don't think is the GPU fault alone although the whole SoC is very old and not up to task, unless is for really simple task. Not to mention the device only has 2 or 3GB of RAM with slow eMMc 5.1 speed that multitasking becomes of helluva of thing for it. Thank goodness i don't have this device anymore but currently own a A14 5G with Exynos 1330 which is a more powerful chipset than the Helio P22 of this phone.

MyStuffYT, 17 Apr 2024this phone doesn't really work well. its laggy, overheats too much, battery dies quickly... moreWell I probably used to have the most optimized A10s because the last time I checked on 3DMark it scores 290 which is an excellent joke for 2024 but it is what it is. It scores better score than the Exynos 850 Android 14 A14 4G which it only gets 180. What I did is that I factory reset the whole phone and downgraded to Android 9 One UI Core 1.1 then turned off every Google related services, as well as turning off auto-sync and uninstalling almost every single app+bloatware. I've also tweaked some Developer Options to give out the best. I rooted the phone to overclock it, and it did at some point reach 44°C. I plan to install either LineageOS with Android 13/14 in it or stock Android 9 for better smoothness. It's only the 2/32 though, I don't know if the 3/32 would be any better.

its laggy, overheats too much, battery dies quickly
after android 11 update it became the laggiest
you cant root on android 11, so you have to downgrade to 10.
back camera easily breaks it only broke on a door
though the only quality it has is it's like a nokia it never breaks
