After teasing us with a spec sheet listed online two weeks ago, today, Samsung officially revealed the launch details for its latest 5G budget phone, the Galaxy A23 5G. The device will go on sale in Taiwan next month, and early buyers will get a few bonuses, including a wall charger. In addition to the Galaxy A23 5G, Samsung also intends to bring the Galaxy A13 5G to Taiwan next month.
The Galaxy A23 5G will be available in Taiwan at the Samsung Smart Pavilion, Samsung Mall, and retail partners from September 16. The phone will be available in two memory configurations with 4GB of RAM and 64GB of storage, or 6GB of RAM and 128GB of built-in storage. The two Galaxy A23 5G variants will cost NT$8,990 ($298) and NT$9,990 ($331), respectively.
In addition to the Galaxy A23 5G, Samsung also announced that it's bringing the Galaxy A13 5G to Taiwan at the Samsung Smart Hall, Samsung Mall, and other retail stores. The phone will be available with 4GB of RAM and 64GB or 128GB of storage for NT$6,990 ($231) and NT$7,990 ($265), respectively, beginning September 1.
Galaxy A13 5G and A23 5G wall charger bundles will be available for a limited time
As many of you know, due to regulations and environmental concerns, Samsung no longer offers a wall charger alongside its latest Galaxy smartphones. Fortunately, early Galaxy A13 5G and Galaxy A23 5G buyers won't have to worry about this missing accessory.
Customers who order the Galaxy A13 5G before September 30 get an official Samsung 15W wall charger for free. A similar offer will be available for Galaxy A23 5G customers who buy the device before October 15. When sold separately, the 15W charger costs NT$490 ($16).
Samsung will offer three color options for the Galaxy A13 5G and Galaxy A23 5G in Taiwan. The A13 gets black, blue, and white, whereas the A23 will be available in black, blue, and peach.
Although similar in size, the Galaxy A13 5G and Galaxy A23 5G are not too much alike. For one, the Galaxy A13 5G is powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 700 chipset, whereas the Galaxy A23 5G uses the Snapdragon 695 SoC from Qualcomm.
