Vivo V23 5G specs and price
The Vivo V23 5G has a smaller 6.44-inch Full HD+ AMOLED display that refreshes at 90 Hz. Under the hood, it uses the Dimensity 920 SoC. Apparently, Vivo will use “the first Dimensity 920 smartphone in India” as a marketing tagline. Furthermore, the device also has the same 50 MP + 8 MP selfie combo, but the main camera gets a downgrade to 64 MP. The device comes in variants with 8 GB or 12 GB of RAM with up to 256 GB of Internal Storage. The battery will be a smaller 4,200 mAh unit with the same 44W charging.
Both devices will run Funtouch OS 12 based on Android 12. The tipster says that the V23 will come between INR 26,000 ($348) and INR 29,000 ($388) range in the country. Similar to the Pro, the device sells in Sunshine Gold and Stardust Black colorways.
This is one ridiculously overpriced phone. 90hz? Dimensity 1200? For $500? Are they gone nuts?
You can get 120hz AMOLED screens with Snapdragon 888+ or even Snapdragon 8 Gen1 for $450. Most other brands offer this same spec for $250. This is absolutely garbage.
