Samsung has launched the Galaxy A23 5G in Japan, but it's not the same as the phone's international version. The Japanese Galaxy A23 5G comes with a smaller display, only one rear camera, and an IP68 rating. In comparison, the global version has a high-refresh-rate display, four rear cameras, and a higher-resolution front camera.

The Galaxy A23 5G in Japan comes with a 5.8-inch LCD display with HD+ resolution and a V-shaped notch. The phone comes equipped with the MediaTek Dimensity 700 processor, 4GB RAM, 64GB internal storage, and a microSD card slot (up to 1TB). It runs Android 12-based One UI 4.1 out of the box.

On the rear, the Japanese version of the Galaxy A23 5G has a 50MP camera with an F1.8 aperture and Full HD video recording at 30fps. On the front, the smartphone has a 5MP camera with Full HD video recording. As mentioned earlier, it has an IP68 rating for dust and water resistance.

Samsung has equipped the phone with a side-mounted fingerprint reader, GPS, 5G, Nano SIM card slot, eSIM, Wi-Fi 5, Bluetooth 5.2, NFC, USB Type-C port, and a 3.5mm headphone jack. It is powered by a 4,000mAh battery and supports up to 15W fast charging. It is priced at JPY 32,800 (around $231).
