Samsung Galaxy M23 5G Review: specs and features, camera quality test, gaming benchmark, user opinions and photos

Samsung Galaxy M23 5G is a notable leap forward

The representative of smartphones of the middle price segment called M22 from the Korean company Samsung was quite in demand, although it did not become a real hit. In many ways, the reason for not the most grandiose success was the technical characteristics, inferior to those of the closest opponents. The hero of today's review received a tangible increase in performance, while not adding too much in price. How much better will the sales of the updated device go?

The appearance of new items is now more relevant. The block of photomodules has changed, the selfie camera has been moved to the corner of the display. The modified colors of the cases turned out to be stylish and interesting, but the material of their manufacture remained unchanged. Unfortunately, it is the widespread use of plastic that spoils the tactile sensations from the gadget. 6.5-inch AMOLED screen leaves more positive emotions. FullHD + resolution, excellent brightness margin and even a basic oleophobic coating make the AMOLED display extremely competitive. However, people susceptible to the PWM effect are unlikely to like the applied screen, since there is no DC Dimming technology. The fingerprint scanner was moved to the side, the solution is not particularly technological, but characterized by excellent accuracy.

Qualcomm Snapdragon 750G CPU, 6GB/8GB RAM and Adreno 619 GPU provide smoother Android 12 experience at 90Hz AMOLED panel refresh rate . Of course, the chipset will not be able to support such a framerate in demanding games, but it is possible to get acquainted with the worlds of Genshin Impact and PUBG: The New State at low-medium graphics settings. The processor does not disappoint with power consumption or critical heat, so even hour-long gaming sessions will not be uncommon for the buyer. Of course, such a result would not have been possible without a huge 6000mAh battery. You won’t have to think about sockets and power banks for a couple of days, but the battery itself charges slowly, this process should be done at night. 128GB / 256GB of ROM is a good amount of internal storage, but it was also supplemented with a microSD card slot .

The main 64-, 8- and 2-megapixel cameras are ready to organize fairly detailed daytime shooting with realistic color reproduction, while there is a special night mode, which makes photos in low light less noisy shots. But, of course, the phone in question is still far from camera phones with optical stabilization. There is no stereo sound in the device, and the headphone jack has also disappeared. But the list of pluses is replenished with NFC contactless payment and functioning in 5G frequencies. Add to all this an attractive price tag and get a potential bestseller.
