General Mobile GM 22 Plus Review

General Mobile Like last year, this year, too, it includes three smartphones in its 2022 model product line. GM 22 Plusis the middle model in this trio. although GM 22 Pro Although it is below in terms of the main camera and some other elements compared to the main camera, it deserves its cheap price with its large and Full HD + resolution screen, 6000 mAh capacity battery and attractive design.

Design

We can start by saying that the GM 22 Plus makes a difference from the Pro model. The Pro model was a better model in terms of material quality. The GM 22 Plus, on the other hand, draws an image close to the GM 22 model. The back of the phone has plastic material. The side frames are also plastic, but have a metal look. It looks good this way.

While the thickness of the phone is 9 mm, the curved structure towards the edges is preserved on the back. Thus, it does not slip out of your hand when you grasp it. Again, there is a fingerprint sensor on the back, and a triple camera setup on the edge.

The volume and power buttons are on the right edge, while the SIM card and microSD card drawer are on the left edge. You can increase the memory of the phone by 256 GB via microSD card. Let’s also say at this point that the phone has 128 GB of internal memory. On the bottom edge are the headphones, USB-C port and speaker.

Screen

The screen of General Mobile GM 22 Plus is the same as the Pro model; It measures 6.78 inches. While the screen resolution is 1080×2460 pixels, IPS LCD is used as the panel. This screen has a pixel density of 396 ppi and a brightness of 420 nits. It gives beautiful images. Its size is also very convenient for multimedia uses. The screen offers a bright image in outdoor use. Color saturation also takes advantage of the IPS panel. For a phone of this class, we can say that we really like the screen. Those who prefer will be satisfied with the image presented by the screen.

Performance and Hardware

When we come to the technical specifications of the phone, we see that it is separated from the Pro model. MediaTek Helio G80 is used as the processor in this phone. Helio G80, an octa-core processor running at 2.0 GHz, is an ideal chipset for this class of phones. While the Helio G80 offers a slight increase in the maximum CPU and GPU frequency of the Cortex A55 cores, it is accompanied by 4 GB of RAM on the phone. The RAM capacity was 8 GB in the Pro model, but it has been halved in this model. In terms of performance, it is suitable for medium-level uses.

Although you do not encounter lag in the interface, you do not have problems with browsing web pages or applications. It is also possible to get a fluent experience in PUBG. But of course, you may not get high performance in games with higher graphics. In that sense, it is necessary to expect the GM 22 Plus to the extent that you can get it from a mid-range price/performance oriented model.

The phone is running Android 11 operating system. We can say that we find it close to pure Android in appearance. Those who expect a simple interface from the operating system will love it. Easy to use, switching between interfaces is quite fast.

Camera

General Mobile GM 22 Plus has 3 cameras on the back. The main camera is 48 MP resolution. The GM 22 Pro had a main camera with a resolution of 108 MP. However, the GM 22 Plus also has a 108 MP shooting mode. In other words, the photos can be increased to 108 MP via software, and as a result, you can take more detailed photos compared to 48 MP. Apart from this, you can also benefit from artificial intelligence support in cameras. For this, it will be enough to turn on the AI ​​mode from the interface.

The other cameras of the phone are in the form of a 2 MP depth camera, which takes 5 MP ultra wide-angle shots and provides depth of field in portrait shots. With the wide-angle camera, you can take wide-angle shots up to 115 degrees. There is also the possibility of zooming up to 4x with the main camera.

The rear camera performance of the phone gives very satisfactory results for its class. The phone, which can take impressive photos especially in good light conditions, can also achieve good results in backlight. The low light issue is not very impressive. The phone has a night mode, but you will encounter loss of detail when shooting in this mode.

The front camera on the phone is 8 MP. This camera is able to take satisfyingly beautiful pictures in good light conditions. In poor light conditions, turning on the screen flash can be useful for you. In the meantime, let’s say that you can record Full HD video with the front and rear cameras of the phone.

Battery and Charger

The battery of the GM 22 Plus is 6000 mAh. In the GM 22 Pro and GM 22 models, this area is 5000 mAh. In this sense, we can say that the longest-lasting model of the series is the GM 22 Plus. With this phone, you can enjoy a very comfortable day or even the next day in normal use. You can extend this time even further by using the battery saver mode.

The charging issue is one click behind the Pro. The Pro model had 18W charging support, in this model this value is 15W. With this adapter, you can charge the phone to full capacity in about 2 hours.

Phone Pros and Cons

Can it be bought?

As a result, the General Mobile GM 22 Plus is one of the good models that can be purchased in the middle class at a price of 3169 TL at the moment. The fact that the high-resolution screen has not been waived compared to the Pro model, and the longer battery life with an even larger battery is the most important plus of the phone. Its performance is also quite satisfactory for a model of this class. Its cameras produce average results, but we can say that it is satisfactory for social media posts. In this sense, in the final analysis, Genera
