The Samsung A23 is very reliable. I have dropped it on concrete and wooden floors, and there isn't a single scratch or performance loss. The battery lasts a long time, and the charging is really fast. I have had this phone since release, and I don't plan on getting another in the next 2 years unless I somehow manage to break this phone, which I would have to do on purpose 😂. I've played online games like COD and Minecraft and the performance is amazing. The 5G connection gives me a smooth frame rate at 60fps on the Xbox Game Pass app. I have played on Xbox Game Pass even on my Straight Talk phone plan. There is no need to buy a $1000 to $2000 phone unless you're just after fancy new features or a 4k resolution.
I gave my mother a samsung galaxy a23 5g as a gift, it's really nice, easy to use, no lag, really worth it, thank you, and I don't regret buying this unit.
Very nice review. Thank you. Your english is very good. Boy although Gsmarena is in Bulgaria you look more than Asian than Bulgarian. Where are you from?
I have the 8gig variant and there's no slowdown like youve mentioned and its really fast especially opening apps.gaming wise, this a23 5g is way better than the exynous 1280 of the a33.
Thanks for this review, I opted to go with a very cheap slightly used A32 5g for ~$60 instead. I badly needed something else than this battery guzzler small screen iphone SE 2020 2nd gen that I can't stand anymore for several reasons, the newer ios versions have been increasingly glitchy, don't like the small screen, physical home button that I have to click to exit an app or go to the home screen, no headphone jack/sd card slot, small battery that wasn't good even when new, and I absolutely abhor the apple autocorrect. A phone repair person told me they've gotten a ton of iphone SE in with failing nand and tracers, alluding to they were made cheap and crappy. I hate that samsung seems to have screwed up what should be good on-paper specs in this A23 5g with the lag, similar to how the A53 5g is notoriously known for being very laggy online. Whilst the lower tier A13 5g/A14 5g and A32 5g are running MUCH smoother better Dimensity 700 family cpus that people that actually use the phone love. I HATE that companies have started to make newer successor phones worst specced or worse optimized than older previous models. All over online people swear the A52 was so much better than the A53 due to the lag, and that the Moto G 2020 line was much better than anything since spec wise,etc. My needs aren't very demanding in my mid 30s from a phone, just IMing, texting, occasional call and occasional cat pic, youtube, browsing. Don't do a whole lot of social media anymore which has actually improved my mental health. Lots of vile, toxic, gate-keeping, materialistic, and narcissistic people I encountered over the years on there. There's not a snowball's chance in hell I will ever get a $1000-1200+ freaking phone, that's absurd beyond imagination to me. Being out of the "phone game" for the past few years, I was astonished and disgusted by what I saw. Either extremely expensive stuff, or budget/"mid-range" stuff with crappy specs. Seeing as this thing still has a few years worth of updates left in it, I may just hop around from "good enough" Samsung budget/mid range phone to the next gotten cheaply in the future. I'm genuinely excited to see how this Dimensity 720 cpu is in this A32 5g :D
Do you remember when with the old XIAOMI REDMI NOTE 4S we had 4K video playback with the Snapdragon 625? Don't buy these smartphones from any company until they have 4K playback available again.
Samsung is slowly making their budget phones have less face value; specs/hardware being lower than its competitors. Probably because a huge portion of what we're paying for is going to software. This may be a strategy of theirs to encourage us to pay more. But to be fair, Samsung phones seem to stay good or even better after a few years because of software support.
Since their availability is a little better than most oems, some markets where they dominate the low end segment, doesn't need a lot of improvements that's probably why, their mid range is a lot better than this and get a lot of discounts it's better to save a little more
@@emka9537 my a23 doing fine along with my s21 (main phone). stop buying crap samsung then. or right up buy iphone 14 lol. but i dont like IOS , i use s21 for a year now and its never lag, sexy camera, sexy gaming. its just sexiest android dream i ever had in reality. but yea it cost as much as iphone 14 lolz!!! why would u buy a32 in the first place.. its phone for the poor and homeless people.. hah!

For people watching reviews incase u want to buy let me tell you everything is perfect..the battery life is good the display the refresh rate is 120hz everything is perfect ... the only badside is the camera.. its got a shitty camera..my previous redmi note 9 pro performed better. Dont buy incase you want to buy it for camera. I regret buying as i love clicking n editing.. my next phone will prolly be redmi/poco/oppo

It depends on what you want and need in a phone tbh. The A23 5g has a higher 120 HZ refresh rate, better screen tech with higher brightness, and a slightly better chipset with the snapdragon 695. The A14 5g will have decent performance with the Mediatek Dimensity 700 processor and will get the job done on basics. If you can afford the price difference then I'd say get the A23 5g. If you want decent performance at a lower price, then the A14 saves you about $100.
I've been using my new Moto G Stylus 2022 for about a month now. What happened to my Samsung Galaxy A23 5G? I got frustrated with its setup one night trying to do some things and it took flight. Into a desk. It popped out of the case and the screen is now in need of repair/replacement. I'm so disappointed in this phone I'm still debating on whether or not I'll get it fixed. My old Galaxy Lite has better features. That's the phone I learned about home screen looping on.
depends on the area buddy. im in third world secret country, we only got the 6 gb version, if u in the US u probably only get the 4gb variant which is janky. 6 gb is minimum for this phone, never had any lag so far in 5 months of hard core usage. good phone, especially for third world cursed country standards. take me to the US please

I have two Motorola phones that have slow-motion, time lapse, night mode and the only time I've used them was to see what they were about. To me they're just wasted bells & whistles. My first Android was a Samsung Galaxy Lite and my new Sammie I should have in a couple of days. Got my new Samsung yesterday! I was in for more than one shock when I started using it. It doesn't have FM Radio, Music app, Calculator, home screen looping, the gallery app sucks a bit. The Bluetooth reaches farther than my Motorola and my music sounds better. The phone also feels heavier than the Moto. The upload and download speeds are even higher and I'm not just talking about 5G. I strongly recall Samsung having FM Radio, Music apps so what happened, #Samsung?
No. I tried downloading it from their 'Store' and it turned out to be a gallery app.🤦🏽♂️ It was another disappointment in using this phone. I've used Samsung before and I liked my older Galaxy Lite more. This device lacks in things the Galaxy Lite has.

Much prefer side mounted finger print reader vs the Pixels in screen.
Is anyone else having a volume?? How do I fix this?
Woah. This is the first time I heard a PLS LCD on a phone.
I kinda want to Google what a PLS screen is now, but when the review is finished 👀
PLS from Samsung while IPS from LG.
Samsung uses this for their budget and lower midrange phones.
Basically IPS.

How does PLS LCD compare with IPS LCD panel?Can anyone clarify?
So the display that Samsung Galaxy a23 has, it has a brighter display than IPS Display.
Non-5g version is known for PWM (yes, pwm on a pls screen) with up to 50% in lower brightness modes. What about this version?
No PWM on this one. I’m sensitive and have been using it since it came out.
