Samsung Galaxy F23 5G Specifications and Features
The Galaxy F23 5G features a plastic body like most Samsung smartphones, except for premium models. It is built around a 6.6-inch TFT LCD panel with a resolution of 2408 x 1080 pixels, up to 120Hz refresh rate, and a dewdrop notch. This screen is protected by Corning Gorilla Glass 5.
The handset is run by Qualcomm Snapdragon 750G SoC. It boots One UI 4.1 based on Android 12 with Samsung Knox security. The company promises 2 years of OS updates and 4 years of security updates.
For photography and videography, the device uses a triple camera system on the rear consisting of a 50MP Samsung ISOCELL JN1 primary sensor, an 8MP 123° ultra-wide unit, and a 2MP macro snapper. On the front, there’s an 8MP shooter for selfies and video calls.
