The Samsung Galaxy M23 5G is an affordable device that checks all the right boxes for those looking for a reliable smartphone without breaking the bank. I bought this phone to replace my old man's Xiaomi phone with a Samsung device, and after testing it out myself, I'm impressed with its performance. One of the standout features of the M23 is its display, which may not be OLED but still offers good color calibration and supports Full HD playback on Netflix and 4K video playback on YouTube. The 6.6-inch LCD panel strikes a balance between screen real estate and one-hand comfortability. While it's not the brightest panel, the brightness level is sufficient for everyday use. The phone's design is also noteworthy, with a smooth frosted finish on the back and a glossy plastic frame that feels cheap compared to other Samsung devices. The teardrop notch may be a letdown for some, but overall, the M23 looks good and feels solid in the hand. Performance-wise, the Galaxy M23 handles day-to-day tasks with ease, thanks to its Snapdragon 750G chipset. Gaming is not its strongest suit, but it can handle casual gaming without major issues. The cameras on this phone are also more than usable, producing good photos with impressive portrait modes and sharpness. Overall, the Samsung Galaxy M23 5G may not be the best option out there or the best value in Samsung's lineup, but if you find a good deal, it's definitely worth considering. It's not great, but it's good enough.
The Vivo Y28 4G promises a budget-friendly smartphone experience. With its sleek design and vibrant dark green color, this device catches the eye. The phone features a 6.5-inch LCD IPS display, a dual-camera setup, and a large 5000mAh battery with fast charging capabilities. Powering the device is a Dimensity 6020 processor, available in various RAM options (4GB, 6GB, or 8GB) paired with 128GB of storage. The cameras include an 8MP front shooter and a dual-camera setup at the back, though details are scarce on the latter. Pricing for this device remains uncertain, making it an intriguing yet unknown quantity in the budget smartphone market.
