Editorial report

Realme V23 8 GB / 256 GB / China technical sheet

The Realme V23 suits anyone looking for a 5G phone with a large display and generous storage, but its refresh rate is lower than that of most phones launched around the same time. The 6.58-inch IPS LCD display has a pixel density of 401 ppi, higher than that of most phones from its period. At 8.1 mm thick, the phone is also thinner than most of its contemporaries. This configuration pairs 8 GB of RAM with 256 GB of storage; the phone is also sold with 12 GB of RAM.

The MediaTek Dimensity 810 is an octa-core processor. Its 48 MP camera records video at 1080p and 30 fps. The battery has a capacity of 5000 mAh and supports 33 W charging. Connectivity includes 5G, Bluetooth 5.3, and dual Nano-SIM. The phone runs Android 12, but it has no Google Services, which matters to anyone who relies on them.

Overall, the Realme V23 is typical of phones launched around the same time; its performance, camera, and battery are also typical. The display is typical overall too, though its pixel density stands out and its refresh rate is a trade-off. NeoScore: 5.3. It is best suited to people who prioritize storage and a sharp display, and can do without Google Services and a higher refresh rate.
