VIVO V23 5G

A stylish feature-heavy smartphone for selfie lovers

Ever since Vivo E has launched in India, it has disrupted the smartphone market segment in many ways. Apart from delivering phones packed with multi-features, its major motive is to provide you with pocket-friendly smartphones. And of course the camera! Its X70 Pro+ camera was touted by many as one of the best for any Android smartphone for 2021. It was very well-regarded in terms of build quality and hardware performance as well.

Vivo has dropped some really amazing and budget options for mobile users in the market. Now, it has tried to update its game with the recently launched new-gen 5G model, namely Vivo V23. But is all that enough to change the fortunes of Vivo in the midrange segment? Let me throw some light on that I used the smartphone for more than three weeks!

Design

The V23 5G variant comes in two colour options - Stardust Balck and Sunshine Gold. The Gold variant also comes with a colour-changing trick after getting exposed to sunlight, coming from the Fluorite AG glass. Additionally, it's Fingerprint free as well! The Stardust Black variant is subtle yet stunning, delivering an excellent soft-touch matte finish. This is the one I have tested, and I'm truly impressed with how it feels in my hands.

Vivo has achieved great heights in crafting the best designs for smartphones, and the V23 5G is the best example of it. The design of the phone is unquestionably stylish, and with the soft-touch matte finish, it feels truly premium to hold. Also, Vivo has done some commendable job with the weight distribution specs on Vivo V23 5G. The smartphone feels light and is one of the slimmest phones available in the Indian market. Furthermore, the elongated and boxy construction with sharp edges resembles the recent iPhone design. Also, the dual selfie camera confirms the resemblance of the iPhone-inspired design.
