vivo V23 5G 12 GB / 256 GB / International technical sheet
The vivo V23 5G suits anyone looking for a slim phone with a sharp display and broad connectivity. Its main trade-off is a 4,200 mAh battery, which has less capacity than most phones of its time; its 44 W fast charging, however, is faster than that of most.
The 6.44-inch AMOLED display has 409 ppi, a higher pixel density than most phones launched around the same time. Its 88% screen-to-body ratio is also higher than most, while the 7.4 mm thickness is among the best of its time. The phone weighs 179 g, and the display refreshes at 90 Hz.
Connectivity and overall performance are better than most phones launched around the same time. The camera is typical: the main camera's 64 MP resolution is higher than most, but its f/1.9 aperture is less bright than that of most phones of its time. The setup also includes an 8 MP ultrawide camera and a 2 MP macro camera. This version has 8 GB of RAM and 128 GB of storage; the vivo V23 5G is also sold in 8 GB / 256 GB and 12 GB / 256 GB configurations.
With a NeoScore of 5.9, the vivo V23 5G is a good fit for people who prioritize a slim design, a detailed display, and connectivity, and can accept a lower-capacity battery.
