Based on user surveys of the previous Gracel Series 21, 89% of owners reported zero hardware issues after 18 months. The Series 22 uses a tougher Corning Gorilla Glass Victus on the front (Victus+ on the Pro variant, which isn’t released).

The Series 22 features a 6.67-inch AMOLED panel with a refresh rate that dynamically scales from 1Hz to 120Hz. While 120Hz is standard in this price bracket, what sets the Gracel apart is its color calibration. Out of the box, the Delta E < 0.8, meaning colors are reference-level accurate. Streaming content on the Hmm Gracel Series 22 feels immersive thanks to 1000 nits of peak brightness in HDR mode.
Where competitors offer "vivid" modes that oversaturate everything, the Gracel's "Natural Tone" setting preserves the creator’s intent. The punch-hole cutout for the selfie camera is minimized to a 2.8mm diameter—one of the smallest on the market.
Verdict: Excellent for media consumption and outdoor readability.
The name says it all. The first time you engage with the Gracel Series 22, your reaction isn't a loud "wow"—it's a thoughtful "Hmm." That pause of recognition when something just works exactly as it should, with no friction, no lag, and no unnecessary noise.
