Great phone for my needs.

Well, here's the thing. I dropped my cell phone once too often and it died! I ordered a new Samsung A23. Amazon delivered the phone the NEXT DAY! Little bit of trouble with the simm card but resolved. Then I ordered the Kwmobile Case Compatible with Samsung Galaxy A23, delivered the NEXT DAY! Perfect fit. Not bad for a couple of days hard work"¦

Phones were on time, as described and in like new condition. The cables sent with them were the wrong ones, don't fit this phone. In order to resolve this Amazon expects me to send back both phones that have been completely set up which is ridiculous. Do yourself a favor and check everything before you transfer data and set up the phones or just buy a cable at the same time you buy the phone.

Moving from an LG V10, it's been quite a learning curve. I wish the individual app volumes could be controlled individually. battery life is superb!

My 5-year-old trusty LG G6 was finally getting to the point where I had to charge it several times a day, so I started phone shopping. Not gonna pay $800+ for a giant phone with way more features than I need, and not gonna go with an inexpensive, off-brand phone either. Found the A23 and the reviews looked promising, especially when it was on sale.

Setting up the phone and getting the apps copied over was easy - I assume I got lucky sticking my SIM card in the correct slot. Had to re-do a few log-ins as I could not copy some accounts over from the old phone. Fingerprint reader works well enough, although it was tedious to get my finger scanned all the way.

It has taken me a while to get used to the newer version of Android, and a few things are annoyingly over-complicated, compared to the old phone, but I'll get used to it. Performance and call quality are good, and the 5G screams. I typically get home from work with at least 75% battery left -- which is much better than the LG phone, even when it was new.

Sadly, the camera resolution is poor - digital zoom gets grainy pretty fast, and zooming / cropping a 1x photo shows this as well. However, the macro and portrait features are nice, and do take good photos. The flash feature is kinda weird -- even if you turn it off, it may still come on if the overall picture area is dark.

Overall, I'd say this is a good phone for kids / seniors / frugal folks -- good performance, battery life, speaker volume, and screen brightness. I wish it was a tad smaller -- but unless I want to go to the dark side (smaller iPhone), I'll have to get used to it.
