Vivo launches India's first smartphone with color-changing glass:
The Vivo V23 Pro has 3D curved front and back glass and a thinner frame. Powered by a MediaTek Dimensity 1200 with 8GB or 12GB of RAM, it's the faster phone. It comes with 128GB or 256GB of storage.
The Pro's display is a bigger 6.56-inch 1080p AMOLED, running at 90Hz. The battery has a 4,300mAh capacity and support for up to 44W charging.
There are five cameras on the Vivo V23 Pro - a 50MP wide camera with eye autofocus support, and an 8MP ultrawide camera sit on the front. On the rear, there's a triple setup with a 108MP main, 8MP ultrawide, and 2MP macro units.
Vivo V23 Pro: Verdict
The Vivo V23 Pro delivers on most of the claims it makes. It has a stylish design to offer, the performance is more than adequate, and the camera performs well, though it could be better in some situations. Where I feel it is a compromise is on the battery front. But again this too will depend on each user’s day-to-day usage. The lack of a microSD card might also make this a no-go for some users.
But the price of Rs 38,990 (for the Pro variant) does mean the phone will have a tough time in the market. There’s the OnePlus Nord 2 which has the same processor is available at a starting price of Rs 29,999. So does the Poco F3 GT and both are capable devices. The premium price you are paying is for the style and the dual-selfie cameras, so keep that in mind.
