Vivo V23 5G: The Latest Selfie-Focused Phone
The rise of front-facing cameras coined the term “selfie”. It even became the Word of the Year, as declared by Oxford Dictionaries in 2013. Almost a decade later, there are still many mobile phone manufacturers that release a device that would focus on this market. Given that flagship phones have impressive front cameras, some of them can capture great selfies without being a top-of-the-line device.
The latest smartphone that selfie-lovers will surely want to get their hands on is the Vivo V23 5G. The Chinese smartphone manufacturer released this phone in the beginning of the year, with surprising iPhone-like edges. Many tech reviewers compare this phone to the Samsung A53 5G, being both mid-rangers.
Once you have seen this phone, you’ll automatically adore the phone’s color. It has 2 variants – Sunshine Gold and Stardust Black. Both of them have a color-changing back panel, a trend with Chinese branded smartphones. In the front, there is a huge 6.44-inch 90Hz display that has a notch that houses two front-facing cameras. The bottom side has a USB-C port and a sim tray, but there is no 3.5mm earphone jack. Don’t worry, Vivo’s still generous by including the dongle, earphone, and a charging brick with a USB-A to USB-C cable.
Since this is a phone dedicated to selfie lovers, the first camera has a 50 MP wide camera while the other is an 8 MP ultra-wide camera to fit everyone when capturing “groupies”. You’ll be surprised that they were able put two dual-tone spotlight flashes, without looking too visible on the top borders. They also mentioned that the built-in AI can automatically enhance faces and better night scenes in the photos. Vloggers would love this phone too, as it is capable of recording 4K Selfie videos and other useful options to improve the taken footage.
Aside from selfies, the device will ensure great photos from the rear camera. It houses three sensors: a 64 MP main night camera, 8 MP super wide camera, and 2 MP for Macro photography. Take plenty of photos as the device has a huge memory that starts at 128GB with 8GB RAM, while the 256GB internal memory with 12GB RAM. The company also boasts of having a new memory technology, where idle ROM can be used as RAM.
Other interesting features are being capable of Hi-Res audio playback and HDR 10+ for a better video watching experience. It is powered by the latest Android 12 with Funtouch OS 12, making the phone more customizable and accessible. For those who are very interested in this device, note that the NFC payment option is market-dependent and may not be available in some countries.
Overall, the Vivo V23 5G is one of the most beautiful phones available right now in the market. Even if it is considered a mid-range device, it has an aesthetically-pleasing design. The cameras may not be the best ones, but they can take great photos whether in selfies or from the rear one. Other features may look standard, but the price point makes it worth buying.
