Another important "plus" that phone reviewers never seem to mention is that the A23 5G has a water resistance rating of IPX7 (according to PhoneScoop), which means that it survives 30 minutes immersed in shallow water. This is another big plus that you get for the $50 extra you pay beyond the A13 5G. Strange that nobody thinks about this until he drops it in the drink; all the other wonderful features don't matter after you've drowned your phone.
Там точно есть влагозащита??? Тогда мне сразу два!!! ))
Just brought the phone came straight to RUclips to fund out what you just said thanx bro
Yeah bro i have Galaxy A23 5G and i tested and it works as it should.Thanks.😅
Where do you get this info? Because nowhere on the packaging does it say it has ingress protection. I would know, because I own it and I have had water damage from just riding in the rain, and have had to replace the screen.
I have had four Galaxies. I have dropped three into water (so not put an A71 5g in the washing machine, it does not do well if you do that) so I bought this.
PROS 👍🏻
_battery life (5000 mAh battery)
_customizable (One UI 4.1)
_Android 12 (it'll get Android OS 13)
_main camera (good photos)
_price (unless you can find a used A52 5G for cheap - that's hard)
_headphone jack (I prefer wired)
_good glass screen (there's worse glass used on higher priced devices)
_NFC (it's valid now)
_fingerprint sensor (side on top of power button works better then on screen)
CONS (nitpicking - lol!)
_64 Gigs ROM (it should have 128 Gigs)
_ambient and proximity sensors (needs software update)
_screen bezels / tear drop notch (c'mon it's 2022!)
_slow charging (known issue talked in forums, maybe it's the wall charger Samsung recommends?)
_front camera is meh (it is on a lot of devices this year!)
_ultrawide and macro is poor pictures
(but hey it's a $200 phone - not a $400 phone!)
Solid budget device, I have to agree with you though that budget shouldn't mean certain styles should be used every year (a phone can be cheap and look great vs looks like a cheap phone!)
Great points CJ! Appreciate you once again!
Does have smart view and screen record
FYI it has 128 gb variants, theyre sold over here
Mine is need of a new screen which I may get replaced because I'm THAT disappointed in this phone. I've used Samsung before and this is lacking in things my older Galaxy Lite has. Instead of taking the phone to get fixed I ordered another Motorola and am satisfied with it.
I just bought this phone and I've been liking it so far. However, I just paid $380 which to me is not cheap. As long as it does well and what I need it for that's what's important. I only wish I could have got it back when it was much less costly. For now I'm happy with it.
The cons are not that bad. I think this is a win for Samsung. It’s overall a very good budget phone from what you are saying. Great work Stefan. Thanks
Appreciate you J 🙏
The cons are very minimal, they are more nitpicking than cons, this is a $200 device that packs a lot (I already posted a common thread you will see in forums regarding, "well these devices are better than this smartphone", but the devices in question or not available in North America so is it really competition if you can't hold both devices in your hand and compare?)
Samsung Galaxy A23 5G for the win 👍🏻
It's a much better performing then the a53 5g. It's kinda like the oneplus n20 that is also on the same ship like 23 5g and it runs fast. The 23 5G might be the best bang for ur buck in that price class.
@@TechRight great review, a13 5g has 128gb, 😁, like always samsung makes phones on different places🤣, (no market strategy to A series , sadly)
I have this A23 5G as primary phone and this my opinion. (I have 4/128 GB variant)
• Phone is nice to hold, not too big and heavy
• Design is fine for the price
• Super display even if is TFT. Good contrast, crispiness and touch response time. 120Hz is good and Gorilla Glass 5 is a pleasure to use thanks to his smoothness.
• Processor is very good, with 695 you can easily do whatever you want with the phone, even some hard gaming and it will not disappoint. Actually the OneUI is very well optimized for this phone.
• Camera is actually far from good and macro is like a 10 cent sensor.
• Battery is really nice, managed to stands for 2 days and 10 hours SOT locked at 60Hz, while 7 Hours at 120Hz. I
WHAT I DON'T LIKE
• 4G/5G signal is often really poor and I don't know why.
• Light sensor is slow and inaccurate (I turned it off)
• Vibration is a bit weak
Other than that, I paid 240€ for it and it's a really budget device, it is solid and will receive Android 13 and 14. If you prefer stock Android and OLED, go for Motorola G71/82 because they are really nice too.
Helpful and reassuring, thanks! Just bought this phone, I don’t care about social media, gaming and big specs in a phone etc but I do watch videos and listen to music, emails and just use it for daily stuff. I’ve heard so much negativity about these lower priced devices, it’s refreshing to hear some optimism today.
You can adjust the vibration intensity in Settings.
What about the camera I didn't understand what u said about it
I had to buy new phone asap and this one was the only in under 300 with big enough screen. Glad to see your review, I can understands why you don't like all cons. But happy that isn't big deal for me) kinda feel better now that my sudden buy turned out pretty good choice. My con - it is kinda thin and light))) ordered bulky case to fix it
I have to have a case on mine. They feel weird without one.
You have to consider price when you weigh pros and cons. The storage isn’t a big deal because of the sd card expansion. The design doesn’t bother me the same way the water drop notch doesn’t bother me either. Or the bezels as much more expensive phones have bezels. I honestly think people complain too much other insignificant things that don’t affect performance or getting a mostly full screen. Apple has a much more unattractive notch. The iPhone XR and 11 are two I can think of with thicker bezels too. The dual speakers I will say is the biggest con you listed I truly see as a con. Because in 2022, dual speakers should be standard. Not sure if you mentioned it, but does this have an IP rating? If not that’s definitely a con too. Overall, when you consider the $300 price tag, you get quite a bit for that amount. Even if it’s missing a few things, several phones in this price range are missing more.
I agree about the IP rating. My last LG phone has an IP rating of 68 and cost about 2/3 of what this phone cost. This phone also does not have homescreen looping and FM Radio like the older Samsungs do.
what are Bezels?
I ordered one of these today as a backup phone. Seems like it will be great.
Nice! 🔥
Same just got it as my wifi only backup phone
I've owned this Samsung model for About a month now and do far it's held up quite well, however I noticed that the flash when using the camera completely washes out my photos leaving them pretty undesirable. And the storage.. it really didn't take me long to reach close to 55GB of internal storage and that's with using an SD card. A lot of apps are not movable to the sd card regardless of your developer settings and such. I think it's about time they do away with the sd cards myself given this fact. Otherwise they're great. The teardrop notch, like you said needs to go. It has a cheap look. Period. Lol. I'm curious though as to some of the higher end Samsung models and what they have to offer. I miss the peace of mind of not having to worry, at all about my internal storage.
You do know that you can back the phone up to your Micro SD Card, right? Do a factory reset and then reinstall your apps back onto the phone a lot faster than doing it over-the-air or Wi-Fi. Micro SD Card is where I store my pictures and what not. When I change phones I just remove and insert into the new one and everything is there. Takes less than a minute. Started doing it with LG phones and so far that's my favorite Samsung feature. I've used Motorola, HTC, Umidigi and they won't do it.
I just bought it and so far I'm impressed 💯
Очень признателен компании Samsung за такие модели смартфонов. Являюсь счастливым обладателем А22s5G телефон просто огонь! Всё работает быстро, экран IPS без вредного мерцания, отличная навигация, качественная телефония, хорошая камера и автономность. Оптимизация Самсунг впечатляет! А новая модель ещё и красива по дизайну! Люблю Самсунг. Спасибо Вам за обзор!!! Лайк, подписка и комментарий в поддержку канала
Jah ik houd er ook niet van om in mijn blote kont door de wind te fietsen. Deze telefoon verwarmt mijn ballen totaal niet.
I think for the price point. You get a lot of good stuff with that phone. Samsung makes great screens. And the screen is something we spend a lot of time looking at. 120 Hertz refresh rate, gotta love that! And cpu is pretty damn good! As for the flaws. They make sense to me. Why would anyone buy the a53 for more money. If you had a flawless cheaper a23
Thank you I am a older person. A senior, a casual user. your video was very helpful.
The reason that I would not pay £289 for the A23 5G is that I recently bought a higher spec new A53 5G from Amazon on Prime day for £249 and could have bought a new A52 5G for £200 on the previous Prime day. Samsung have large stocks of unsold A series phones which will feature highly in Black Friday sales.
The basic problem with the A series is that you can buy Chinese phones with faster processors for the same prices as A series phones. Personally, I will not be buying any more Chinese phones due to a complete lack of security updates.
How's the call quality on it? I feel like too many phone reviews forget to mention the phone part of the smartphone.
I haven't had any issues with call quality.
Truth - there's 5G competition from Redmi and Xiaomi Poco with the same Qualcomm Snapdragon 695 (not the Xiaomi Poco from India with the MediaTek) at a close price range .... except you will never see these devices in the North American Store, or available at a North American Carrier (so my opinion is you can't call it competition if you can't hold both in your hands inside Best Buy to compare).
I can say the Samsung Galaxy A23 5G is solid when it's the 6 Gigs RAM 128 Gigs ROM Variant sold online (and I think we can both agree that this should be the Variant that's also available with Carriers).
Absolutely right! Haha, people always talk about those devices but there's no support in the US for them.
@@TechRight - you are correct about that, those are Devices you buy online and good luck if you get 2 years out of them.
I'm just thankful we have Samsung, Motorola, TCL, Nokia, OnePlus Nord to choose from as Consumers (did Sony come out with a mid-tier Device this year?) 🤔
i love my phone i just got it i switch from iphone to android and plus its a fast charger too
Thank you TechRight 5⭐, I enjoyed and learned with this your contribution.
just got mine A23 5G with 8+128GB today. hopefully it turns out better than the review.
Where did you bought it from?
I just bought mine last night.
I've had this phone, it's been a great phone until 2 months ago. It's a Samsung A23 5g. Now nobody can hear me when I make calls. It breaks up, nobody can understand me and it's a HUGE problem. I need to be able to use my phone, it's no good to me if I can't be heard or hear. The last 5 Samsung phones I've had through BOOST have been wonderful. This phone however, has been nothing but trouble and it wasn't exactly cheap. I've gone into the store for help several times and still nothings been done to help with this issue. I'm beyond angry and frustrated.
its confusing how many phones Samsung makes
Legit 😂
Just replaced my Galaxy S6 with this model, so far so good, all but it doesn't charge on a wireless pad! I was wrong to assume it's a standard facility these days
Would you recommend the Samsung Galaxy A23 5G or the A14 5G?
9:38 vs 10:07 I am not sure I would like more a hole punch than a teardrop for front camera, to me a teardrop looks more aesthetically pleasind than a drilled like hole in the middle of the screen... then there are some models that have no visible hole as the camera is hidden behind the display matrix for cost for a bit bluier image I guess.
Can you use the finger scanner with a case?
Yes, you can. Actually I can find it easier with the case on.
@@donotneed2250 thanks
Just got one for 150 on straight talk. Didn't know anything about it but your video makes me happy that I did.
$109 (delivered);from my carrier. Just ordered. Had a cracked screen on my tcl 30 which is 69 currently. so this galaxy is an upgrade and the price is great, same as if I were to repair a cracked screen so I can't complain
Boost mobile*
Same here. $150 from Straight Talk. Switched carriers.
For me it's the inbuilt Fm Radio. It comes in handy when I want to listen to radio programmes plus u can record the program as well..
@Joseph Swaniker, what FM Radio? Mine doesn't have one. I've used Samsung years ago, LG mostly, HTC, Umidigi, Motorola and this is the first cellphone I've seen that doesn't have a FM Radio. My first Samsung also has homescreen looping and this model does not.
Ngl the 21 fe was built way better in my opinion. For me having it for 6 months it actually charges way slower, Id also have to say the double tap to turn the screen on was nice, the power button is pretty annoying personally. But other than the phone is actually slowing down on me as well.
Would this be a good beginner's phone for a 9yr old boy
This is a 5g version of the A23. The 4g version have 70hz. Unless it was 90?? I forget. But the 5g version have 120hz. 😎
I bought the 64g Straighttalk version of this phone for $150 at Walmart. And I LOVE IT!!! Will have this phone until I die
Bought mine at Walmart last night for the same price. Was about time to switch from my Express Prime 3.
Ok so now oneplus n20 vs a23 since it's the $300 range. I know that n20 is 299 or something but still.
I've had an a52 5g but now I've got the n20 5g and I won't be looking back. The stupid fast charging alone is insane
I'm swapping x8 for A23 but it's an ok phone . No multi window just split screen . Hoping A23 has a sharper screen also . And stock android this is a bit grandady so go and check it out properly before you get 1 . Looks and feels good but I'm a Samsung head just hoping the LCD on A23 has some Samsung magic behind it . Give x8 7/10 tho . Give my broken a70 9 tho .
Can you please verify the memory type of the device? Is it eMMC or UFS 2.X or 3.x ?
The phone suddenly turns off and will not turn back on until hours later. I have no access to incoming calls or apps. Hours later it magically come back on.
happy this phone got 120hz
Yessir
I don't have any issues with mine set at 60Hz. Must be my age.🤣😉 I grew up when a 60Hz screen was the standard everywhere. TV picture tubes retrace at 60Hz.
When phone is locked is there anyway to have the clock on the screen or show that i recieved a message or missed a phone call. It just stays black doesnt show its charging or anything
Bought it
Same here those are cons for sure
Moving around Settings I've never had a problem until this phone. I'm thinking the designer(s) had too much "happy smoke" or soju before designing. I have an older Galaxy Lite and in my opinion it's Settings is designed better. Due to my frustration with the Settings the phone took flight one night into a desk and is now in need of a new screen. I'm still debating as to whether or not I'll get it replaced or just keep using my Motorola. The Moto does have FM Radio soooo...
Another thing though, most of the phones in this price range selling today have similar features including a NFC, the side mounted fingerprint sensor and higher refresh rates. I will dare to say however, I believe my Motorola One 5g phone with the Mediatek Processor was much snappier and on point than the Snapdragon in this phone. Is it just me? There were a slew of minor annoyances though that added up to a no deal for me on the Motorola though.
After I got too frustrated with mine it took flight into a desk and broke the screen and popped out of its case. Compared to my old Galaxy, I prefer the old model. I ordered a Motorola to replace the Samsung and am satisfied. I'm not getting another Samsung Galaxy.
how resistant is this phone to water??
some people say no... others say a little... some say yes, but there's no rubber seal on the sim and SD trays... so...?? is it at least resistant?
I'm looking to get this phone, cuz i brought my Pixel 3a into the lake with me (oops!).
i let this phone dry out for 3 days, and it works for now, but i know it's only a matter of time before the insides become more and more corroded and the phone will eventually die.
I'm liking this phone so far from what I've been researching.
Does it come with a charging brick? Overall, is this better then a Moto Stylus 5g (2022)? TIA
No seen video. But it was against just 23 version. 5g stylus beat it
No. It does not come with a charger. I have a Moto G Stylus 2022 and I like it more.
is it ufs 2.1 or emmc 5.1?
Does it have always on display?
Can u do a galaxy A53 update video , seems like people are forgetting about this phone
Just got this for $9.99 on boost mobile and I'm already a boost mobile customer
Hey there. Question: When you purchased the A23 was the Moto G Stylus for $9.99 also? I just ordered (has not arrived) the A23 for $9.99, but thinking of returning it because I think I could’ve got the Stylus for $9.99 instead. Maybe the Stylus deal is for new customers only though.
"colors are nice and punchy..." with white being blueish white. Others pointed that out in another video.
Coming from a 16GB phone, 64GB is fantastic.
As a Boost Mobile customer, I can buy this phone for $49.00.
I will put it in simple word for you to understand they customise because of their finding
My 5g didn't work did yours ?
Lovely phone
Con:
NO FM Radio.
NO home screen looping.
ONLY brand I've used that tries to make you create a user account on their website.🤦🏽♂️
A bunch of bells & whistles I don't have a use for or need.
Good point
If you guys still want this phone it's going for $9.99 in some states with a $40 phone plan.
wait do it got gyro too?
Yessir
I want to buy this phone and it have 128gb but in my country it cost $1600
I have a23 5 g. Not opened. And t Mobil sending me a moto g g5. Now not sure which to keep. 222 for moto. 312. For a23 5g. Which is better
I just recently switched to T-Mobile 2 weeks ago, and the bonus was that,I was going to buy a new phone as my A12 is 3g/LTE. Turns out right now T-Mobile offered me the A23 5g OR the A32 5G for free. I am sure there are more. I picked the A32 but they were out of stock.
Just bought this phone at AT&T store Jan. 2023. Nice phone but I have much to figure out 1) stopping screen from going black during phone calls, and 2) how to add signature line to my text messages. All the online help videos refer to "3 dot menu" at top of message ap but there is no 3 dot menu on message ap. Text settings does not list signature option. If ANYONE can help I would really appreciate it. The phone is used heavily for non profit work (SPCA). Phone is not for entertainment.
Using Samsung's Messages app? Try the google one instead. I tried the Samsung one and didn't care for it much. Years ago Samsung's stock apps were better than the google ones but not now. Kind of role reversal...
I'll take A23 5G over the new Nokia X30 gonna take more than Recycled Plastic and Aluminum to entice me.
I have a galaxy a23 5g and it seems to eat power
its onlyy 400$
Just got one yesterday £190 bargain.
heard it only gets 2 os updates
that's basically 3 years. 12, 13, and 14
Bought mines for only $53
Nobody is mentioning that you have a very difficult time doing a screenshot on this damn phone I do a lot of screenshots and this is ridiculous pressing the volume button down with the on/off button ridiculous okay my Motorola had the simplest a little icon at the bottom you're pressed it and you had your screenshot why is nobody mentioning that it is nearly impossible to take a screenshot on this phone I am so upset over this I may be returning it otherwise I do like the phone the pictures are perfect everything is crystal clear but damn the screenshot is Hell on this phone
super amoled 720p vs pls lcd 1080p ?
which one is better
Samoled
So A23 5G or A53 5G? $20 difference between the two at Boost Mobile.
I've used both phones, the a53 is technically better but the general performance on the a23 5g is smoother because of the exynos chip in the a53. The a53 has a little lag and stutter in normal usage that the a23 5g doesn't have.
You see since 5 g didn't arrived in our area so I bought 4g phone some how if 5 g arrived I give second thought
My parents are buying me this i'm only asking for a22 but they said so i won't ask for a phone again. I only asked for a phone 1 time lol that's when my old phone broke
Genshin Impact lagged really bad for me but not COD Mobile!!!
You are just rambling do you ever leave the home screen of your device 🤦♂️
TEAR DROP NOTCH IS GARBAGE, I ordered this phone a23 bc my a51 is a pile of junk. The review sounds good like it will be better than a51. Why is Samsung so cheap no charger with phone. I will put the SD card in at my expense, but no 24 watt charger & where can I get a real Samsung 24 watt charger that's not a fake like on Amazon? Samsung phones eat phone cords & it's difficult to buy a good phone cord online.
Nice 😎 👍
my con is no wireless charging
That battery is nothing special for that price, its in most of the mid range Samsung phones, my old A21s has that.
There is 128gb of storage not 64gb
Hey @TechRight does this phone have ALWAYS ON DISPLAY ???
I don't think so but you can double tap it to make it light up. And then double tap it to make it go dark again.
Great! 2 Questions: A) Does it have FM Radio ?
B) Does it have UFS storage or EMMC?
No FM Radio or home screen looping.😭🤦🏽♂️
Does this phone accept wireless charging? 🤔
No.
I have a23 5g 8/128 version
When you say 5000 milliamp don't you mean 5 amp
Wireless charging?
No.
This or the Google pixel 6a?
pixel 6a more better
The 4 gigs ram really hurts what this phone can be
Yah, I wish my girl was pretty
Get 8GB?
I asked for 4G. I do NOT want anything 5G
xdd
Camera is so sloww taaking
I'd rather the fingerprint sensor be on the screen
💪💪💪💪💪💪
A23 5G DOES NOT COME WITH A SIM CARD??
Is 4gb ram enough for navigating smoothly on social apps like tik tik RUclips instagram my phonenow is iPhone 7
No problems for me but the only social media I use is twitter. The only issues I've had with it are the way the Settings menu is set up and they want you to make an account on their website, no FM Radio and no home screen looping.
