vivo is bolstering their midrange lineup in the Philippines with the launch of the vivo V23 5G and the vivo V23e. The vivo V23 5G packs a MediaTek Dimensity 920 chip, a 90Hz 6.44-inch AMOLED display, a 64MP f/1.8 main camera at the back, a dual selfie cameras at the front, and a color-changing Fluorite AG glass finish. Strangely enough, it seems that the vivo V23 Pro will be skipping the Philippine market this generation.
The vivo V23e 5G, on the other hand, packs a more traditional smartphone look. It still packs an impressive set of specifications including a Dimensity 810 chipset, a 6.44-inch AMOLED screen, a 50MP f/1.8 main lens, a 44MP f/2.0 front-facing shooter, and 44W fast charging.
