The 6.6-inch screen with notch has also been upgraded. Unlike the 4G model, which has up to 90 Hz refresh rate the 5G edition reaches frequencies of up to 120 Hz.
The front camera of the launch is 8 megapixels.
Galaxy A23 5G is almost the same price as the S21 FE
The dissimilarities also appear in the technical sheet.
While the 4G variant announced in 2022 has the Snapdragon 680 inside, Samsung packed the Snapdragon 695 5G, a 2021 chip inside the Galaxy A23 5G.
The set of RAM and storage remain the same: 4 GB and 128 GB, respectively. Both models still have a 5,000 mAh battery with 25 watt recharge .
The release, however, comes out of the box with Android 12.
But we need to talk about the elephant in the room: the price.
This is because Samsung will start selling the Galaxy A23 5G on January 16, 2023 for BRL 2,299. This is a very high value and similar to the average of the Galaxy S21 FE in national retail: R$ 2.3 thousand.
Himself Galaxy S20 FE 5G can be found below that, between BRL 1,500 and BRL 2,000, depending on the offers of the day – by the way, you already know the TB findings ?
However, it must be taken into account that this value will decrease over time. The Galaxy A23 4G itself was revealed for BRL 1.9 thousand and is already found for BRL 1.2 thousand in national stores.
Even so, there will be other options on the market with better prices and specifications.

In addition to the Galaxy A23 5G, Samsung unveiled the Galaxy A04e with entry-level specs.
Even so, the model has its refinements, such as the 13-megapixel dual camera. The 5-megapixel selfie sensor is housed in a notch on the 6.5-inch screen with HD+ resolution.
The technical sheet is led by the MediaTek Helio P35 and the 3 GB RAM. Consumers also get 64GB of storage that can be expanded with a microSD memory card of up to 1TB.
The smartphone still has a 5,000 mAh camera and Android 12 from the factory.
The price is another point that deserves attention: according to Samsung the cell phone is already on sale for R$ 1,399.
This is a value that puts the cell phone at a disadvantage, as the Galaxy A53 costs, on average, R$ 1.6 thousand. And if the difference weighs, consumers manage to save when buying the Galaxy M23, which is on sale for R$ 1,300 in national stores.
Again, prices will drop over time. But if you are after a cell phone under R$ 1 thousand at this very moment, the Galaxy A13 itself not only meets this requirement but also offers a superior technical sheet.
It should be noted that the price comparisons for the Galaxy A23 5G and the Galaxy A04e refer to retail prices on January 10, 2023.
