    One of the warst mobile phone my by the mobile phone vivo v 23pro 13/1/22 problem phone tont by this phone u bay oneplus brand new phone oneplus 9rt 120hz display v23 90hz display

      It’s design choice, unpopular opinion but i think the notch is looks good, i mean smartphone these days is kinda looks the same at least we have a choice to be a little bit different. And for this vivo v23 it serve 2 camera modules, which is better to use notch than pill shaped dual camera like s10+ back in the days

          And of course, the Pro version absolutely must have a rounded design again! How could it be otherwise?

                Isn't this from Vivo's millennials range? Since only youngsters hang out in groups, so therefore need wide-angle selfie to fit in everyone. Also Color-changing so that its easier for everyone to blend in.

                        That notch makes me kinda nostalgic about 2018...

                          Can you do a comparison with Vivo X70?

                            Good lord, Vivo knows how to make elegant, beautiful phones.
                            The notch is hard to swallow, but if priced right, it might go on my shortlist.
                            As for the number of updates, Vivo follows the same pattern as Oppo and Realme. Two major + two years of security patches.

                              Anonymous, 05 Jan 2022Good looking phone. It's great that midrange priced ph... moreCurrently using Realme X7 Max aka GT Neo as my primary device. This compact phone comes with powerful Mediatek Dimensity 1200 SoC right up there flagship Qualcomm Snapdragon 865, not to mention sea of 12GB LPDDR4X RAM coupled with ultra fast 256GB UFS 3.1 storage. I am deeply impressed with Dimensity 1200, it will fly through anything you throw at it. Truly a flagship SoC by name and in game. Impressive 5G capabilities inside the SoC and very battery efficient using 6nm TSMC technology.

                              And the price is ludicrously cheap. I mean what more can you get for INR 22.8K ($300, €266) in India? I had one during Sep, 2021 during an online sale. The phone got launched with a INR 30K ($400, €350) price tag some 7 months back, but during sales its price drops a lot.

                              One should not worry about performance of Vivo V23 Pro as it comes with the same SoC. Price of Vivo premium devices are often unjustified as they are primarily meant for offline markets. However built quality and product quality is supreme, as my 5 year old Vivo V5 Plus aka X9 with its premium all metal build just refuses to die after such heavy lifting during all these years. Vivo's premium metal built phones are built to last.

                              I also own two of their top of line Vivo NEX S devices mainly for their audio capabilities through headphone jack, and they are supreme flagship devices. Also I am astounded by the amount of improvement Vivo did in the last 3 years in camera software algorithm. The NEX S got repeated camera updates, as many as 20 times. The camera app and the picture quality have improved by leaps and bound, at least for the OIS enabled rear camera of NEX S.

                              I always buy Vivo devices when they are at least a year old and price is halved.

                                    I was actually hoping that they would bring back the v21e Diamond Flare colorway, which I argue is one of the best looking colorway on a phone.

                                      Good looking phone. It's great that midrange priced phones can have flagship performance with the Dimensity 1200.
