A safe bet

Aesthetically, the Samsung Galaxy A23 5G goes for the basics and is content to adopt the basics of Samsung’s entry level: a notch in the shape of a water drop, thicker bezels, especially at the chin level. The phone is also very light and easy to hold. As for the sensors on the back of the smartphone, the integration is successful. We are entitled to four photo sensors: a 50-megapixel wide-angle, a 5-megapixel ultra-wide-angle, a macro lens and a 2-megapixel depth sensor each. If all of them are not useful, we will remember that the main sensor works very well at least when there is enough light.

Samsung offers an LCD panel on the A23 5G. Therefore, OLED technology will not have the contrasts and deep blacks, but the definition increases to 2408 × 1080 pixels (FHD +) to enjoy your content in better quality. In terms of calibration, the screen is not perfect and it cannot be adjusted in the settings. The manufacturer makes up for it by offering a maximum refresh rate of 120Hz for smoother viewing.

Some good days are waiting for you

Coming to the software part, this Galaxy A23 5G will last for a long time as it benefits from 4 years of software updates. Of course, it includes Samsung’s One UI interface, which has improved over time and has become extremely popular. This smartphone is still based on Android 12, but it already benefits from the update to One UI 5, which is based on Android 13. With the Snapdragon 695 chip, the Galaxy A23 5G performs well. It will handle classic daily tasks with ease, but won’t be ready to run demanding 3D games under good conditions.

We will especially appreciate the great autonomy allowed by the 5000 mAh battery. With such a capacity, the device can easily run for a day or even two days with average use before needing a full charge. However, charging is not very efficient. The smartphone supports 25W charging, which in our tests recovered 32% of the battery in 30 minutes with an accuracy of 19 to 51%.
