About the Samsung Galaxy A23
The Samsung Galaxy A23 was the 4G member of Samsung's 2022 mid-range A series, and it made a decent case for itself by getting the basics right. The 6.6-inch Full HD+ screen is sharp and runs at 90Hz, which is more than most phones at this level managed, and Gorilla Glass 5 covers it. The 50MP main camera is optically stabilised, a feature Samsung usually reserved for pricier models, and it makes a real difference to handheld low-light shots and video steadiness. Battery life is the strong suit, with a 5,000mAh cell and an efficient Snapdragon 680 that comfortably clears a full day. The compromises are predictable: the Snapdragon 680 is deliberately modest, so heavy games struggle, the ultrawide, macro and depth cameras are largely filler, and there is no 5G at all. Software is now the deciding factor. Samsung promised two Android upgrades and four years of security updates, and that window closed in 2026, so this is a phone for someone who wants a dependable, familiar handset rather than a long-term investment.

Frequently asked questions
Is the Samsung Galaxy A23 worth buying?
The Samsung Galaxy A23 gets the fundamentals right, with a sharp 90Hz Full HD+ screen, a stabilised 50MP camera and all-day battery life. However, its four-year security update window ended in 2026 and it has no 5G. It suits someone who wants a familiar Samsung handset for everyday use rather than a phone to keep for years.
Does the Samsung Galaxy A23 support 5G?
No, this version of the Galaxy A23 is 4G only. Samsung sold a separate Galaxy A23 5G with a Snapdragon 695 chip and a 120Hz screen. If you want 5G speeds on your UK network, that is the model to look at.
How long does the Samsung Galaxy A23 battery last?
The 5,000mAh battery paired with the power-efficient Snapdragon 680 comfortably delivers a full day of mixed use, and lighter users will often finish a day with plenty left. It supports 25W fast charging over USB-C, which is quick enough to add a useful chunk of charge in a short top-up.
Is the Samsung Galaxy A23 camera good?
The 50MP main camera is the standout, and unusually for this level it has optical image stabilisation, which helps handheld shots in dim light and steadies video. The 5MP ultrawide is passable in daylight while the 2MP macro and 2MP depth sensors add little. The 8MP front camera is fine for video calls.
How long will the Samsung Galaxy A23 receive updates?
Samsung committed to two Android version upgrades and four years of security updates from its 2022 launch, so the phone has now reached the end of that support window. It will not receive further Android versions or security patches, which is worth weighing up if you bank or shop on your phone.
Should I get the Samsung Galaxy A23 or the Galaxy A23 5G?
The Galaxy A23 5G is the stronger phone for most buyers, adding 5G, a faster Snapdragon 695 chip and a smoother 120Hz screen for a negligible 2g weight penalty. The 4G Galaxy A23 shares the same 6.6-inch Full HD+ panel, 5,000mAh battery and stabilised 50MP camera, so it only makes sense if 5G is genuinely irrelevant to you. Compare Galaxy A23 5G deals.

Based on main-sensor size (1-inch / 1/1.3" beats 1/2.0"), telephoto reach (periscope > 5x > 3x optical), image processing tier (Apple Pro, Pixel Pro, Galaxy Ultra, Honor Magic Pro, Xiaomi Ultra), pro video features (ProRes, Apple Log, Dolby Vision), camera-partnership branding (Leica, Hasselblad, Zeiss) and OIS. Older flagships are de-rated since image processing pipelines have advanced significantly each generation. Megapixel count is deliberately downweighted — it correlates poorly with real-world camera quality. Where DXOMARK has lab-tested the phone, its measured score replaces this estimate.

Based on battery capacity (mAh) adjusted for platform efficiency calibrated against NotebookCheck, Tom's Guide, GSMArena and CNET reviewer tests. Apple A-series gets +45% (iOS process freezing + LTPO 1Hz + tuned panels make iPhone Pro Max outlast many 6500+ mAh Android phones in measured tests). Top Snapdragon / Dimensity flagships get +15%, budget chipsets are penalised −15% to −25% to reflect less efficient displays and looser background limits. Charging speed is excluded — see the separate Fast charging tag for that.
