Samsung Galaxy A23 5G

The Samsung Galaxy A23 5G is an economically priced 5G smartphone with a 50MP camera and a 5000mAh large battery. You could say it is mostly about the number 5 but then it would score heavily inadequate. And this A23 5G patently does not. We're happy to explain more.

5G: fast boy

It must be said that the biggest plus of the A23 5G is the presence of 5G. With it, you can use lightning-fast Internet on the go. Provided you have a 5G subscription and there is 5G coverage everywhere. Maybe that's not the case right now. Then consider that at least this A23 can already handle that. Fast it is not only with downloading files and streaming video. It is also fast to use. Thanks in part to a Snapdragon processor from Qualcomm. It is available with 4, 6 and even 8GB of RAM memory. In general, the more RAM memory, the faster it can handle apps.

Multiple cameras at your disposal

Despite its inexpensive price tag, this Galaxy A23 5G gets a 50MP main camera. It sits fraternally on a platform of sorts along with four more cameras. The main camera has a bright f/1.8 lens and features optical image stabilization. Premium features that ensure it takes sharper pictures, even in low light. The A23 5G also features a 5MP ultra-wide-angle (123-degree) lens, a 2MP depth camera and a 2MP macro camera. Thanks to this multi-lens camera setup, you can get a great shot in any situation. In shooting videos, the A23 5G is also good. For example, it features video image stabilization for smooth videos that look less jerky.

Royal battery with 25W fast charging

Up front, Samsung applies a teardrop notch for the 8MP selfie camera. This features a portrait mode where you can blur the background, allowing you to take even more beautiful selfies. The screen measures a generous 6.6 inches, subtracting the rounded corners still leaves 6.4 inches. Neatly, the screen has a fast refresh rate of 120Hz. Refreshing images so often per second creates smooth transitions and animations. Also neat is the battery capacity. It measures 5000mAh, which is enough for over a day of use. Samsung does not emphasize it, but notable about this is that it can be charged quickly with 25W. That's faster than usual in this price category.
