Samsung Galaxy F23 features and specifications:

The Galaxy F23 sports a Qualcomm Snapdragon 750 processor at its core, marking a first in the F-series of devices. The 6.4-inch Super AMOLED screen is protected by Gorilla Glass 5, and features a full HD display (1920 x 1080) and a fast 120Hz refresh rate.

At the back, you get a triple-camera setup, featuring a 50MP main sensor, a 2MP telephoto lens, and an 8MP ultra-wide, taking field-of-view to 123 degrees. The waterdrop notch at the front sports an 8MP camera for selfies and HD video calling. The device is also expected to feature a 3.5mm headphone jack at the bottom and a side-mounted fingerprint scanner.

The phone is backed by a 5000mAh battery with support for 25W fast charging, but a charger and a USB Type-C cable will not come with the box. The decision to exclude a charger was first implemented by Apple in 2020, and was then mocked by Samsung. The company then followed suit and started selling its flagship devices without one. But now, they seem to be continuing the trend in the mid-range segment as well.[2]

Samsung Galaxy F23 pricing, availability:

Samsung Galaxy F23 comes in two storage variants. The 4GB RAM + 128GB storage variant is priced at Rs 17,499 whereas the 6GB RAM + 128GB internal storage variant is launched at Rs 18,499.

In terms of colours, it comes in Aqua Blue and Forest Green colour variants.

The smartphone will go on sale in India on March 16 at 12 noon on Flipkart and Samsung India websites. As for the sale offers, buyers will get an instant cashback of up to Rs 1,000 on ICICI Bank cards. Customers will also get a two-month YouTube Premium subscription.

As an introductory offer, buyers can get the 4GB RAM variant at Rs 14,999 and 6GB RAM variant at Rs 15,999.[3]
