Samsung is increasingly releasing decent budget smartphones to the market. Usually, new models are built on “ancient” chips and do not stand out in terms of functionality. The new release at the end of 2022, Samsung Galaxy A23, surprised everyone. Both in terms of performance and price, as well as electronic features. Yes, it is a budget class. But with such specifications, the smartphone will definitely find its use among people who need a reliable phone for calls and multimedia. In particular, the device is guaranteed to appeal to elderly parents.

Samsung Galaxy A23 smartphone – a gift for children and parents
Children won’t be able to play on the phone during lessons because the chip’s power isn’t enough. And at a resolution of 1560×720, you can’t really play much. However, a child is unlikely to be able to break the phone through careless actions. The device is convenient to carry in a bag or backpack. And the price is excellent.
Elderly parents will like the Samsung Galaxy A23 even more, as it has many undeniable advantages:
- Small screen resolution. On 6 inches – large icons and readable text.
- Good battery capacity. And the chipset consumes little power with the screen.
- IP dust, moisture, and drop protection – the Samsung Galaxy A23 can withstand everything.
- NFC is present. This means contactless payment in stores. And a fingerprint scanner on the button adds security when using.
- Decent main camera. However, there is no optical stabilization, so you’ll need to get used to shooting handheld.
The drawbacks include limited global sales. The Samsung Galaxy A23 smartphone can currently only be purchased in Asian countries. Whether it will reach Europe is unknown. It all depends on demand. And it is not yet available on international trading platforms. More precisely, early versions (5G) are sold under this brand without IP68 protection.
