Qualcomm SM6225 Snapdragon 680 4G (6 nm)Chipset 128GB, 6GB RAMRAM & Storage Quad: 50 MP, f/1.8, (wide), PDAF, OIS +Rear Camera Li-Po 5000 mAh, non-removable batteryBattery

A 90Hz refresh rate on a PLS LCD panel is the kind of thing you don't always get at this price point, and the Galaxy A23 has it alongside a 6.6-inch, 1080p-plus display that's sharp enough for everyday use. Powering things is a Snapdragon 680 built on a 6nm process, paired with 6GB RAM and 128GB storage that you can expand further with a microSD card. It's not a gaming chipset, but for browsing, messaging and streaming it holds up fine.

The camera setup leans on a 50MP main sensor with OIS, useful for steadier shots in daily conditions, backed by a 5MP ultrawide and a couple of 2MP helpers for macro and depth work. Samsung Galaxy A23 price in Malaysia starts from RM699, which puts it in budget territory but with a 5000mAh battery and 25W fast charging that should easily cover a full day.

Rounding things out, you get a side-mounted fingerprint sensor, a 3.5mm headphone jack, and NFC support depending on region. Gorilla Glass 5 on the front adds a bit of durability to what's otherwise a plastic-bodied phone.
