Editorial report
Samsung Galaxy A23 technical sheet
The Samsung Galaxy A23 suits people looking for a large display and several camera framing options. Its clearest trade-offs are a refresh rate lower than that of most phones of its time and a main camera sensor smaller than those in most of them.
The 6.6-inch PLS LCD display has a resolution of 1080 × 2408 px, a density of 400 ppi and Gorilla Glass 5 protection. Its 90 Hz refresh rate is lower than that of most phones of its time. The 50 MP main camera includes optical image stabilization, alongside a 5 MP ultra-wide camera, a 2 MP macro camera and a 2 MP depth camera. Overall, the camera setup is better than that of most phones of its time, though the 1/2.76″ main camera sensor is smaller than those in most of them.
This configuration pairs a Snapdragon 680 with 4 GB RAM and 64 GB storage, expandable with a card. The Galaxy A23 is also sold with 4 GB / 128 GB and 6 GB / 128 GB, spanning 4 GB / 64 GB to 6 GB / 128 GB. Its 5,000 mAh battery and 25 W charging are typical figures. It has dual SIM, NFC and a 3.5 mm audio jack, and runs Android 12 with two years of OS update support. Overall, it is typical among phones of its time: NeoScore 5.3. It is a sensible fit for people who prioritize a versatile camera setup and a large display.
