Design

This Samsung model looks flawless both front and rear. The back has a design that is very similar to that of the Galaxy A52. There is a matte finish and cameras that protrude slightly above the body. Since the smartphone is available in several color solutions, carefully consider which one you like best. The green shade is quite interesting.

What some would point out as a downside to the Galaxy F23 are the large bezels around the screen. Nowadays, we are used to them shrinking, not standing, irritating the eyes. It is this outdated vision that will repel people who want to look modern.

As much as the Galaxy F23 is a budget phone, it is equipped with a physical fingerprint sensor. It works great and you should unlock the device immediately. The model comes complete with a USB-C cable, no charger is provided.

Display

Galaxy F23 has a 6.7-inch screen with an image refresh rate of 120 Hz, which is not bad. The resolution is Full HD +. As a result, you can expect clear and smooth videos and have a wonderful experience of the games.

Productivity

Performance is not one of the strengths of a smartphone. It is based on the Snapdragonn 750G chipset, which is one of the few to support 5G networks. All games are going well, but there are some more powerful alternatives on the market.

Galaxy F23 is available in two versions according to memory - with 4 or 6 GB of RAM and 128 GB of storage. The user can also rely on a memory card slot. The graphics are assigned to the well-known Adreno 619 graphics accelerator.

Cameras

This Samsung model is one of the first in this price range with a new 50-megapixel sensor instead of a 48-megapixel one. If you shoot in daylight, you will like it with its quality. However, as the end of the day approaches and indoors, you can expect noise. To compensate for this, take advantage of the special night shooting mode. It makes the shots brighter.

For portrait photos, trust the main camera. They become pleasant, with enough details and colors close to natural. The ultra-wide angle module will be useful when you want to fit more objects or people in one photo. The last module of the triple rear camera is 2-megapixel and is loaded with macro photos.

For selfies, Samsung has provided an 8-megapixel front camera with medium quality. With it you can shoot videos with a resolution of 1080 pixels at 30 frames per second.

Galaxy F23 has an excellent set of camera modes. Among them are Single Take - for taking photos and videos with one click, Hyperlapse, Slow-mo, Super Slow-mo, Food and Panorama. Fun mode allows you to use a set of Snapchat filters directly in the camera application.

Autonomous work

Beneath the beautiful look of the Galaxy F23 is a battery with a traditional capacity of 5000 mAh. In practice, you get all day without the need for recharging if you plan to use the device intensively. With more economical use, you can count on two days.

When you turn on a higher refresh rate on the screen, keep in mind that the battery will drain faster.

Galaxy F23 supports 25W fast charging technology. Thanks to it, you can count on a sufficiently fast recharging of the battery. For example, from 0 to 100% charge you can recover in about an hour and a half. The bad news is that the charger does not come with the smartphone. However, it is worth having it.

Conclusion

Galaxy F23 is a modern and affordable phone that supports 5G networks. It has a beautiful display, big enough. The high refresh rate is an advantage that you should not underestimate. To all this we must add a decent battery life, excellent performance in most games and updated software.

In addition, this Samsung smartphone retains the design features of this class of smartphones. This will appeal to anyone with a more conservative taste.

Galaxy F23 is an excellent choice for budget users who do not have high requirements for photographic capabilities. It is easy to use and will be a complete helper in everyday tasks.
