Vivo v23 pro Mobile

 

this is the vivo v23 pro vivo's newest premium mid-ranger is quite the looker and in comparison to its non-pro sibling it's a little bit bigger has a more powerful chipset and has a high resolution main camera on the back so should this be your next phone i'm angie for gsm arena and this is my review of the vivo v23 pro [Music] the vivo v23 lineup has a singular design aesthetic with a recognizable camera island and a unique sunshine gold paint job its special uv reactive dye changes the phone's color from a golden color to a blue green hue when exposed to uv rays the process can take from under a minute to a few minutes depending on how much ambient light there is you can also play around with the process and stick a stencil on it but it'll fade relatively quickly in any case it's a fun design element if you prefer a more subtle variant the v23 pro also comes istardust black other than that the v23 pro has a curved amoled display and thinner and curvier sides it's already a thin phone so this curve makes it both look and feel even thinner than that the v23 is rather light for its size too on the front vivo is using shot sensation alpha glass which is said to offer a similar level of protection to

gorilla glass victus unfortunately there's no formal ingress protection rating at the top of the display there is a notch housing a dual selfie setup there are two dedicated led selfie lights to its sides too the notch's size is reasonable and it doesn't clash with the rest of the design a little further down you'll find an optical under display fingerprint reader that is snappy and reliable while the curved display looks very striking the amoled panel itself is decent but not spectacular the 6.5 inch panel has a full hd resolution and a good pixel density of around 398 ppi the v23 pro has a few refresh rate options too you can set it to a static 60 hertz a static 90 hertz or use the auto refresh rate we don't really recommend the auto option as it worked randomly and if you want to enjoy high refresh rate gaming your best bet is to select the 90 hertz option well the panel gets decent though uninspired 463 nits of max brightness with the slider the auto brightness gets you an excellent 798 nits of brightness this means it's very usable outdoors color accuracy is all right but not amazing the phone has three color modes and while professional is the most accurate of the three all of them have a colder bluish tint the vivo v23 pro has hdr 10 plus supports and the highest possible widevine l1 drm certification while there is no hdr content from netflix yet youtube was fine the phone has a single bottom firing speaker it had average loudness and okay sound quality [Music] while the phone supports bluetooth 5.2 it doesn't have nfc which might be important to those who use it for easy wireless connectivity or contactless payments the phone has a 4 300 milliamp hour battery and though it's not the biggest surround the v23 pro got a respectable 110 hours of endurance the 44 watt flash charger the phone comes with is excellent it got the phone from zero to sixty five percent in half an hour and it needed a little less than an hour to get a full charge the phone comes with a mediate demensity 1200 and either eight or twelve gigs of ram the chipset is one of the best media tech has to offer and while the snapdragon 870 outpaces the dementia 1200 consistently it's not by a lot it's comparable to qualcomm's newer chipsets like the snapdragon 780 or the 778g the phone gets warm after longer gaming sessions but it doesn't get uncomfortable to hold there were also no sharp drops in performance rather the phone gently dials it back overall we have no

complaints as far as performance is concerned the phone can readily handle both gaming and day-to-day tasks on the software side of things the v23 pro has funtouch os 12 now on android 12. it's a fluid and snappy os and you can see touches of the new android core like the green notification dot indicating when the camera or mic are in use and the increased animations on most ui components that said fun touch is far from stock android and it offers you its own flair and tons of customization options you can choose between a myriad of always on display settings multiple customizable aspects of your home screen and lock screen and various animation effects you can hold down the volume key to either launch the camera app turn the torch on or off or start recording audio some of the new fun touch elements are very useful like the system menus being tailored for more single hand use the default widgets being more intuitive and easier to use and the app drawer having expanded recommended apps categories other things are more subtle like the revamp notification shade which now has square shaped quick toggles there are so many features that honestly it can get a little overwhelming vivo should have organized them a little bit better so that they're easier to find and so that you know that they're there the v23 pro comes with a potent triple camera setup on the back it has a large 108 megapixel main camera and 8 megapixel ultroid and a 2 megapixel macro cam it's clear that vivo is focusing on videography pro is but it's disappointing that there's no ois or fancy autofocus on the main camera only phase detection autofocus during the day photos with the main camera are great they have plenty of detail and wide dynamic range shots are vibrant which makes them lively but they might be a little too saturated for some tastes there is no dedicated tele camera on

this phone but two time zoom shots look quite good as long as you don't inspect them from too close the ultrawide camera produces nice photos too with similarly boosted colors the level of detail is not the same and there is some over sharpening going on but it's still okay in low light the v23 pro has plenty of detail and suppresses noise well color saturation is nice and everything looks nice and sharp shots with it don't differ too drastically from the regular low light snaps that the v23 pro captures but they are just a tad sharper and clearer the ultroid shots have a nice

dynamic range as well and color saturation is well preserved too the photos however are overly soft with night mode on the photos look cleaner and the exposure is brighter however a closer look reveals somewhat heavier processing and over sharpening in particular the macro camera had decent detail for its resolution and gets the job done but it's nothing special in comparison to many other companies which tend to slap a weak camera on the front of their phones you can tell that vivo takes selfies seriously the phone has a 50 megapixel main camera on the front and a secondary 8 megapixel wide camera the 50 megapixel snapper takes excellent stills detail and dynamic range were great colors look natural and there's even some nice natural bulky in the background at night this camera has excellent performance there's plenty of detail dynamic range is wide and noise is absent everything is sharp too

you can also use the spotlight leds near the notch they're great for illuminating your face and boost the quality of photos taken in low light skin tones come out quite nice with them the 8

megapixel camera has a fixed focus plane that is fairly wide it has washed out colors and a narrower dynamic range but if we weren't comparing it to the main selfie camera we'd still consider it a solid yet unimpressive front camera the main selfie camera takes fantastic videos this makes the v23 pro a stellar vlogging device however footage from the ultra right on the front is less thrilling videos with the main camera on the back had plenty of detail nice colors and balance processing autofocus was a bit slow but reliable overall full hd videos with the ultrawide camera on the back are a little too soft detail isn't too bad for the resolution and the dynamic range is alright there is a super steady mode of the main camera that's capped at full hd it smooths out the video but it's not perfect we prefer the regular eis the vivo v23 pro is clearly a unique device that is targeting content creators with those great front-facing cameras it has fantastic looks a good display great charging and good battery life and a good ship set unfortunately price wise the vivo v23 pro is anything but cheap and there are more well-rounded premium mid-ranger out there like the xiaomi 11i if content creation for social media is your thing then the vivo v23 pro might actually make sense to buy but if you're after the best overall value then you might want to take a look at some other phones first thank you for watching everyone stay safe and i'll see you guys next time you English (auto-generated) All5GCamerasRelatedWatched
