User opinions and reviews

You aren't alone. Obviously A23 doesn't have native screen record. M23 does. So we don't have any choice but to use third party app like AZ Screen Recorder.

Thanks a lot for the notice! Thankfully I haven't upgraded to One UI 6 yet.

My Samsung A23 5g (Galaxy A 236B) has a very slow charging problem after updating to One UI6. I installed Ampere.apk, and with One UI6, my Samsung A 23 5g, shows charge at ~450mAh (ie 10-11 hours for 0-100% charge, and that's unacceptable)....
