Pros and Cons

Samsung Galaxy A23 4G

Strengths

This phone packs in a fairly chunky 5,000 milliamp battery inside that's plenty to power through more than a day's use probably on a single charge under normal circumstances.
The charging speeds have increased like i said 25 watt fast charging which isn't necessarily fast by today's standards but faster than the 15 watt max speeds of last year so a difference nonetheless
This phone actually gets a solid array of internals that definitely makes this phone worth it powering this device now is the qualcomm snapdragon 680 4G chipset the option of four, six or eight gigs of ram and like i mentioned earlier 64 or 128 gigs of storage with the option to throw in an sd card
The selfie pictures are fairly detailed they're well balanced they're colorful without looking overdone certainly a lot better than what i was initially expecting.
Being a budget device on the bright side these couple of sample shots i took just to quickly test everything out actually looks surprisingly good.
Slightly refreshed design with a larger display as well
Pretty good option for sub $250.
Slightly improved 50 megapixel shooter the wide angle drops down to a 5 megapixel lens and the macro and depth sensors are the same 2 megapixels that we've had for years.

Weaknesses

No specific cons listed for this device

ZTE Blade A34

Strengths

The battery actually should last you a pretty decent time most likely longer than most other Android devices...
This is right now as the best as you can experience this device... with freshly set up, so it's running best right now...
The processor it's most likely going to last a decent amount of time... an octacore processor this is the a55...
If put some stuff on it applications it will slow down it will run crappier... but this is right now as the best as you can experience this device...
This should be a pretty decent battery life anyway for devices that come out nowadays...

Weaknesses

It's painfully slow so when you open up applications it just takes them a decent while to load up...
The device is freshly set up, so it's running best right now... but if put some stuff on it applications it will slow down it will run crappier...
This won't be a pleasant thing to use so anyway with that being said hopefully you found this video helpful...
You can see it's painfully see it's painfully slow so when you open up applications it just takes them a decent while to load up...
The device itself is crap but boy if I would ever get lost in a Wilderness this device would literally last me up to a month the battery there was absolutely insane for a device with a touchcreen...

Samsung Galaxy A23 4G

The Samsung Galaxy A23 4G is a budget-friendly smartphone that packs a punch with its decent specs and features. The device is powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 680 4G chipset, available in four, six, or eight gigs of RAM, and 64 or 128 gigs of storage with an option to expand via microSD card. The phone's display is a notable upgrade, featuring a larger screen size than its predecessor.

The phone also ships with Android 12 and One UI 4.1, making it a solid option for those looking for a budget-friendly Android experience. Battery life is another highlight of the A23 4G, featuring a substantial 5,000mAh battery that should easily last through a day of heavy use. Fast charging speeds have also been improved to 25W, which is faster than its predecessor. The camera setup on the A23 4G has received some criticism, with a 50-megapixel primary sensor and a 5-megapixel wide-angle lens.

Night mode and manual controls are also available, making it a decent option for casual photographers. Overall, the Samsung Galaxy A23 4G is a solid choice for those looking for a budget-friendly smartphone with decent specs and features. While it may not be perfect – particularly with its LCD display and limited camera capabilities – it's an attractive option for those on a tight budget.
