Chinese handset maker Vivo has unveiled two new models in the V23 series it first launched last year. The Vivo V23 5G and Vivo V23 Pro 5G feature what the company describes as unique colour-changing Fluorite AG Glass on the rear, which changes colour under direct sunlight or artificial UV rays, as well as a 3D curved AMOLED display and 50-megapixel eye autofocus dual selfie camera systems.
Both Android 12 phones are powered by MediaTek Dimensity chips and come with up to 12GB of RAM, with the Vivo V23 5G featuring a 6.44-inch full-HD+ screen, a Dimensity 920 SoC and up to 256GB of storage. Its main rear sensor is 64-megapixels with an f/1.89 aperture, coupled with an 8-megapixel wide-angle and a 2-megapixel macro sensor. On the front are a 50-megapixel primary sensor and an 8-megapixel wide angle.
The Vivo V23 Pro, meanwhile, features a 6.56-inch full-HD+ display, a MediaTek Dimensity 1200 SoC plus up to 256GB of onboard storage and the same cameras as the V23 5G, apart from a 108-megapixel main rear sensor. Both phones support 44W fast charging and come with 4,200mAh (Vivo V23 5G) and 4,300mAh (Vivo V23 Pro 5G) batteries.
They will be available to purchase in more than 50 markets such as India, Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand, and more, eventually expanding to regions including APAC, the Middle East and Europe over the next few months, said Vivo, adding that the specifications of each V23 model will vary according to the market, with the colour-changing feature only available on the Sunshine Gold versions.
