What is the point of buying a flagship phone? The new Samsung Galaxy A23 5G is just $299 and comes with some nice touches like a 120Hz refresh rate, large battery, and camera specs that put the new Galaxy Z Flip 4 in awe. Submit specifications.
The Galaxy A23 5G features a 6.6-inch FHD+ display (2220 x 1080) with a refresh rate of 120Hz. It uses a modest Snapdragon 695 processor with 5G support, but it also has a 5,000mAh battery.
Notably, Samsung has included a 50MP camera sensor in this phone. That’s significantly larger than the 12MP sensor included with the $1,000 Galaxy Z Flip 4. The Galaxy A23 5G also uses a 5MP ultra-wide camera, a 2MP macro lens, a 2MP depth sensor, and an 8MP selfie camera. (Note that these are the same camera specifications as the previous generation Galaxy A23.)
Of course, I’m not sure that the Galaxy A23 5G can take better photos than the Galaxy Z Flip 4. Camera hardware isn’t everything. Software processing also plays a role in image quality, and the Galaxy Z Flip 4 is equipped with the best Snapdragon. Slides are available today.
Galaxy A23 5G is now available for purchase on Samsung’s web store. At just $299, it’s an amazing price for a phone with this spec. Samsung also announced that it is rolling out Android 12L update for Galaxy Tab S8 series devices.
