A 120Hz screen at this price point is the headline here. Samsung's paired the 6.6-inch PLS LCD panel with a Snapdragon 695 5G chipset, 8GB of RAM, and 128GB storage that you can expand further with a microSDXC card. It's not a flagship processor, but it's enough for daily use and the smoother refresh rate makes scrolling and browsing feel less sluggish than budget phones with standard 60Hz screens.

Samsung Galaxy A23 5G price in Malaysia starts from RM899. On the camera side, you get a quad setup anchored by a 50MP main sensor with OIS for steadier shots, backed by an ultrawide, macro, and depth lens. Battery capacity sits at 5000mAh with 25W fast charging, which should comfortably get most users through a full day. NFC is onboard too, useful for contactless payments, and the side-mounted fingerprint sensor keeps things quick to unlock.

It comes in four colours: Awesome Black, Awesome White, Awesome Blue, and Awesome Peach. For buyers wanting 5G and a high refresh rate display without stepping into pricier territory, this is worth cross-checking against similarly specced options.
