Third-party reviews

Based on ratings from across the web.
Reviews last updated: August 2026 · How we calculate this

What we like about Samsung Galaxy A23 5G (4GB + 64GB)

  • Affordable price and great value for a 5G-enabled phone, often considered an excellent budget buy.
  • Exceptional battery life (5,000mAh capacity), often lasting up to two days with regular use.
  • A large 6.6-inch FHD+ display with a smooth 120Hz refresh rate, a feature typically found on more expensive devices, which is praised for video streaming and scrolling.
  • Good overall performance and a fast processor (Snapdragon 695 5G) for daily tasks, apps, and even some mobile gaming.
  • The camera system, particularly the 50MP main lens with optical image stabilization (OIS), takes great pictures in good lighting conditions for the price point.
  • Includes a headphone jack and a microSD card slot for expandable storage (up to 1TB), features often missing in higher-end phones.
  • Durable build, especially the screen with Corning Gorilla Glass 5 protection and good scratch resistance.
  • User-friendly interface (Samsung's One UI on Android) and a commitment to several years of software updates.
  • Fast 25W wired charging support (though the charging brick is sold separately).

What we don't like about Samsung Galaxy A23 5G (4GB + 64GB)

  • Does not have an official IP rating for water or dust resistance, which is considered a significant drawback by some users.
  • The build is primarily plastic, lacking the premium feel of pricier phones.
  • Video recording is limited to 1080p at 30fps, with no 4K option, which may be a dealbreaker for heavy video creators.
  • Low-light camera performance is mediocre, and the ultra-wide lens (5MP) and selfie camera (8MP) are considered average.
  • Lacks stereo speakers, which some users note results in a lower loudspeaker volume compared to other models.
  • Some users report occasional performance sluggishness or lag during demanding gameplay sessions.
  • The maximum charging speed can be inconsistent and sometimes lower than the advertised 25W.
  • Availability of certain features like dual-SIM may vary by region/carrier, leading to some user confusion.

Verdict

The Samsung Galaxy A23 (4GB + 64GB) is an entry-to-mid-range smartphone featuring a 6.6-inch LCD display with a 90Hz refresh rate for smoother scrolling. Key specifications include a Qualcomm Snapdragon 680 processor, a versatile quad-camera setup highlighted by a 50MP main sensor with optical image stabilization (OIS), and a substantial 5,000mAh battery. Its main pros are the inclusion of OIS, a decent processor for its class, and reliable battery life. However, potential cons include the display being LCD rather than AMOLED, the plastic build quality, and a lack of 5G connectivity in this specific variant.
