Samsung is forced to more than triple the supply of budget smartphones Galaxy A23 5G. Although the model went on sale only in September.

Here's What We Know

According to TheElec, Samsung will drastically cut its Galaxy A23 5G shipping plan. While the company originally planned to sell $12.6 million smartphones, the manufacturer's new goal is to sell about 4 million devices in 2022 and 1 million more next year.

South Korean sources report a mysterious problem that caused Samsung to conduct an internal investigation for a month. Details are not specified, and we only know that the cause was the failure of a "certain function" that disrupts the smartphone.

It is possible that this is the reason why the Samsung Galaxy A23 5G was on sale six months after the debut of the model without support for fifth-generation networks. Samsung Galaxy A23 4G was introduced in March and got Snapdragon 680 instead of Snapdragon 695.
