Vivo V23 5G launches in Singapore at $699

Vivo just launched the new entry-level V23 5G in Singapore.

Like the V series predecessors, the V23 5G series focuses on its design and camera work, offering users the basic smartphone experience without encroaching into the X series price range.

Vivo used a one-piece aluminium frame design and Flourite AG technology to soften the phone’s appearance. It has a colour-shifting exterior that works when shone under UV light, making it yet another exciting option among many conventional-looking handsets in the market.

For selfies, the V23 5G uses dual-front cameras consisting of a 50MP main and 8MP wide-angle to enable a host of related features. For example, the 50MP front shooter has AutoFocus, while the wide-angle caters to group selfies. The front cameras also come equipped with LED lights for added lighting in selfies.

The triple rear cameras are a 64MP main shooter, an 8MP wide-angle, and a 2MP macro camera, covering most shooting scenarios. In addition, both front and back cameras are capable of 4K resolution videography.

The V23 5G’s processor is a MediaTek Dimensity 920 chipset with built-in 5G connectivity, while its 6.44-inch AMOLED display has FHD+ resolution (2400 x 1080 pixels) has 90Hz refresh rate for gaming. Other souped-up features are its 4,200mAh battery with 44W fast-charging, a built-in vapour chamber for cooling, and extended RAM 2.0 if you need the extra virtual memory for apps.
