Samsung is dropping the next generation of the Galaxy A-series soon. Among others, the upcoming lineup features the successor of the Samsung Galaxy A22. The A23 5G had already surfaced in public certifications and rumors. But we’re only now getting our first look at this budget Galaxy phone.
Steve Hemmerstoffer, better known as @Onleaks, published several unofficial mockups of the Samsung Galaxy A23 5G — allegedly based on final prototypes. Samsung has homogenized the design across the board this year. The Galaxy A23 borrows heavily from the A52 and A53.
We find an almost identical domino-style camera housing on the back, containing four lenses and an LED flash. The chassis is chrome and curved. Samsung has built a fingerprint scanner into the power button. If you’ve been following the story, you may already know that the headphone jack is being removed from three Galaxy A-series phones this year. But the Galaxy A23 will be spared. It retains the 3.5mm audio port and slot for storage expansion. Lastly, the frame is 8.5mm thick.
The screen of Samsung's new 5G model has a notch bleeding from the top. It’s a 6.4” IPS LCD, presumably with a 1080P resolution. Samsung Galaxy A23 rocks a 50MP OIS-powered wide shooter. It’s paired with an 8MP ultra-wide lens and two 2MP cameras.
Everything runs on a 5000 mAh battery and 18W rapid charging support. You get 6GB of memory and 128GB of storage. Plus, the MediaTek Dimensity 700 (the cheapest 5G chip in MediaTek’s catalog) powers the Galaxy A23. We’ll learn more when the phone officially launches on March 31, 2022.
