Design
Vivo deserves all the praises they have been getting for the release of this phone. Not just for the specs, but with the design of this phone as they’ve done what other producers cannot do. Preferably, If you opt for the Sunshine Gold colour of the Vivo V23 Pro, then you will definitely be amazed from the very first time you take it out of the box. The colour is most times yellowish Gold, but can still turn to a bluish-green colour, especially when exposed to sunlight.
Meanwhile, if you’re not comfortable with this yellowish Gold edition which might sound flashy, and prefers to keep a low profile, the Stardust Black colour of this phone is also available. Fortunately, it offers the same matte textured glass for resisting smudge and fingerprints. The front panel features a curved screen with a metallic frame across the sides of this phone.
At the base of the Vivo V23 Pro are the USB port and SIM card slot without a 3.5mm headphone jack or SDcard slot, while the volume and power buttons are placed at the top right corner of the phone. The camera bump features a triple camera setup which is arranged vertically. Fortunately, at 171g, the V23 Pro has a small weight and can comfortable fit info your pockets.

Display
Upfront is a 6.56-inch curved screen with an AMOLED panel and a 1080p resolution. The display offers a 90Hz refresh rate which makes scrolling through the screen a very smooth experience, and a 1,300nits of max brightness level makes it good enough to use in a sunny environment. Unfortunately, the colour accuracy needs a little improvement but still goes well with the price.
This phone’s display also has HDR10+ support that makes watching movies very enjoyable. There’s a wide notch cutout at the top of the screen which houses the dual-selfie camera and down below it is an optical in-screen fingerprint scanner.
Camera
On the back camera of the Vivo V23 Pro is a triple camera setup which includes a 108MP sensor with an f/1.8 aperture, an 8MP ultra-wide lens with f/2.2 aperture and 120 degrees field of view. The last camera features a 2MP macro sensor with an f/2.4 aperture. The main camera produces stunning images even under challenging light conditions.
While in low-light conditions, there might be little complications as the photos sometimes appear unsaturated, but with the help of the Dual-LED Flash, there won’t be any problems whether low light or no light. The ultra-wide camera can capture nice pictures while the 2MP macro still does a nice job with its autofocusing capability.
There’s a 50MP sensor for taking selfies which we expect every user to be pleased with its result. The front camera also comes with a fixed focus ultra-wide lens of 8MP with 105 degrees field of view. This dual-selfie camera setup is paired with a dual-LED flash and you can also record videos at 4k with it including the rear camera.
