Samsung announced the 'Galaxy A23 5G,' a new mid-range cellphone for its Galaxy 23 lineup. The 'A' series of Samsung phones are marketed as the slightly less powerful, significantly more affordable versions as compared to the annual 'Galaxy S' flagship devices. The A23 5G, though, boasts features that set it aside from even the industry-leading flagship phones on the market today.
The most notable feature of the Galaxy A23 5G is its battery. In a compact form factor, Samsung managed to fit a 5,000mAh battery pack that can power the device for up to three days on a single charge. Aside from this, the A23 has a 120Hz display, 64Gb of internal storage, and a Snapdragon 695 processor. This makes the A23 5G most similar to HMD's recent Nokia C31 smartphone.
