Samsung Galaxy A23
The Samsung Galaxy A23 is yet another refresh to Samsung’s budget devices, which have been coming out back to back. A 90Hz IPS LCD screen, a primary 50MP camera, 25W fast charging, a huge battery at 5000mAh, and the midrange Snapdragon 680 chipset. This makes it quite a competitively priced midrange. It ticks pretty much every box, and then some. This phone is certainly a midrange powerhouse.
Design
The Samsung Galaxy A23 comes with a 6.6-inch 90Hz IPS LCD screen with a teardrop notch design for the selfie camera. It’s a beauty, with very even bezels and a very narrow chin, with a screen-to-body ratio of 83.0%. It has an aspect ratio of 20:9 and supports HD10 which makes it an absolute delight to consume media with. It has a plastic frame, a plastic back and a Corning Gorilla Glass 5 front panel. It is very bright and vivid, peaking at 800 nits. Fortunately, it keeps the headphone jack. It has a fast side-mounted fingerprint sensor integrated into the power button. It has a loud downward firing speaker, which offers great sound when playing media.
Performance
The Samsung Galaxy A23 comes with the midrange Snapdragon 680 4G chipset, making it relatively fast and excellent for gaming. It has an Octa-core CPU with storage options of 4/6 GB for RAM & 128 GB for ROM. It also comes with a dedicated expandable memory option. Paired with the 90Hz LCD screen, running the latest Android 12 with One UI 4.1 skin on top, the performance feels very fast and premium. Samsung’s UI is rich in customizations, supporting numerous always-on screen animations. No lags or slow transitions on this one. Everything feels fast, fluid, and rich in color.
Cameras
The Samsung Galaxy A23 has a quad camera arrangement on the back. It comes with an excellent 50 MP primary sensor, with 12.5 MP picture binning for those excellent daylight photos. It has a 5MP ultra-wide with a 123˚ FOV, for great landscape and group photos. There is a 5MP depth lens, giving it great immersion when it comes to those close-up photos, and a 2MP macro lens. The video can support 1080p video at 30 fps, with HDR supports & gyro-EIS stability assistance. The selfie camera is a decent 8MP wide sensor, capable of 1080p video at 30fps. The selfies and videos are great and well-exposed.
Other features
The Samsung Galaxy A23 has decent 25W fast charging, which can charge the phone to 100% in a little over an hour. That in addition to the fact that it also comes with a Li-Po 5000mAh non-removable battery. Even with the 90Hz high refresh rate LCD screen, this should be more than a day’s worth. The main concession would be that there is no wireless charging or wired reverse charging. It, fortunately, does support NFC for contactless paying.
Similarly, priced phones would include the Oppo A54, Infinix Note 12 VIP, and the Samsung Galaxy A22 5G. the main talking points would be the screen and the huge battery. Also with a high refresh screen, it offers an experience similar to much more premium mid-range gadgets.
For the price, it’s a great device. Superior design, high-end screen, and a very huge battery. Seeing that it comes with a mid-range Qualcomm chipset, the performance is bound to feel like that of a premium device, as the performance has actually improved. It comes in Black, White, Blue, & Peach
