In a flurry of announcements from Sony, Nokia and others, Samsung has unveiled the Samsung Galaxy A23 5G — a phone with a low price but promising specs options.
That includes a 6.6-inch FHD+ bezel-less display. It uses an LCD panel instead of AMOLED technology, but it has at least a 120Hz refresh rate.
The Samsung Galaxy A23 5G also has a multi-lens camera, but like most budget phones, not all of those lenses sound particularly special. Still, they’re headlined by a 50MP sensor, which is a promising spec tidbit. That’s coupled with a 2MP macro camera, a 2MP depth sensor, and an 8MP selfie snapper.
Other specs of the Samsung Galaxy A23 5G include a 5,000mAh battery, 25W charging, 5G and, of course, the Snapdragon 695 chipset, 4GB of RAM, 64GB of storage, and a microSD card slot. As for the design, there’s a V-shaped notch on the display, a large bezel below the screen, and a flat back with a sizable camera bump.
It’s priced at $299.99/£289, so if it performs well, it could be one of the cheapest phones around. It’s available in black in the US, and in the UK in black, white and light blue from September 16, but there’s no word on if or when it’s coming to Australia.
Analysis: This fits Samsung‘s lineup
The Samsung Galaxy A23 5G is the successor to the Samsung Galaxy A22 5G; a phone with a lower refresh rate and a slightly smaller chipset, but the same size battery, and the same screen size and resolution. So the new model should be an upgrade, but maybe not a huge one.
Going a step further is the Samsung Galaxy A33 5G, which is the model above the Galaxy A23 5G. It has a slightly more powerful chipset and a Super AMOLED screen, but the battery size is still the same, and the refresh rate is actually lower than 90Hz.
So it’s arguably an upgrade — and certainly positioned as such — but only slightly. If you want more upgrades, there are plenty of other options for the best Samsung phones.
