vivo just launched the V23 and V23 Pro smartphones in India, as it had announced. These pack a 6.44-inch flat and 6.56-inch curved FHD+ 90Hz refresh rate screen, respectively. The V23 is the first phone to be powered by Dimensity 920 SoC in India, and the Pro model is powered Dimensity 1200. Both these pack a 50MP autofocus selfie camera with eye AF and 8MP 105° ultra-wide cameras and Dual-Tone Spotlight flash.
These feature a Color-Changing Glass in the Sunshine Gold model that interacts with sunlight and other sources of Artificial UV rays to reflect a spectrum of brilliant colors. It is subtle, yet uniquely eye-catching, says the company. The Sunshine Gold has a glossy unibody frame that looks sharp and translucent and Stardust Black has a matte frame that is soft and pleasant to the touch, says vivo.
The vivo V23 is just 7.55 mm thin, features an aerospace flat aluminium frame and the V23 Pro is elegantly shaped with a 3D Curved Screen that curves at 57 degrees and is as thin as 7.36mm.
The v23 has a 64MP rear camera and the Pro has a 108MP rear camera, while the 8MP ultra-wide and 2MP cameras are the same. These pack 4200mAh and 4300mAh batteries respectively with support for 44W fast charging.
