Samsung Galaxy F23 5G Summary
The Samsung Galaxy F23 5G excels when it comes to battery life. The upgraded hardware with plenty of 5G bands and the promise of timely software updates should keep it relevant for a few years. We suggest opting for the 6GB RAM variant though, as the 4GB variant did not deliver a very good experience in our review. Compared to the Galaxy F22 5G, the display has somewhat better specs but it isn’t bright enough for outdoor use in sunlight. We also found the cameras to be strictly average, and low light performance is still not all that great.
The Galaxy F23 5G faces stiff competition in the sub-Rs. 20,000 segment. There are the Vivo T1 and the recently announced iQoo Z6 to consider. There’s even the Redmi Note 11 Pro, if you don’t care much for 5G, not to mention some older models such as the Realme 8s 5G and Narzo 30 Pro 5G, which are still worth considering.
