In early 2022, Aldi (specifically and Aldi Süd ) launched a major 5G smartphone offer featuring the Samsung Galaxy A22 5G for a price of €159 .

The model offered typically featured 64 GB of internal storage, a 6.6-inch display with a 90 Hz refresh rate, and a 5000 mAh battery.

While other retailers like Amazon and Media Markt occasionally matched or slightly undercut the €159 price during April 2022, the addition of the Aldi Talk credit made it one of the most competitive entry-level 5G offers on the market at that time.
