vivo V23 series now in the Philippines
Without the ‘Pro’ though
The vivo V23 series has landed in the Philippines but it’s a different set than what was announced elsewhere in the world. While most other countries were blessed with the “Pro” version, the Philippines gets the “e” instead. The set the country is getting includes the vivo V23 5G and the vivo V23e 5G.
There’s no reason to feel slighted though. Both the vivo V23 5G and vivo V23e 5G are still expected to deliver in the area that the V-Series excels in — mobile photography.
Here are the camera specs of both phones:
| Vivo V23 5G | Vivo V23e 5G | |
| Main (Wide) | 64MP f/1.9 | 50MP f/1.8 |
| Ultra wide angle | 8MP f/2.2 | 8MP f/2.2 |
| Macro | 2MP f/2.4 | 2MP f/2.4 |
| Front facing camera | 50MP f/2.0 (wide)
8MP f/2.3 (ultra wide) |
44MP f/2.0 |
It already looks like a banger on paper. But we’ve taken the vivo V23 5G for a spin and we’re impressed with the results. It’s also important to note the emphasis they are putting on the front facing camera.
The V23 series has pairs its 50MP AF front camera with an 8MP super wide-angle camera to expand its selfie shooting scenarios. So, whether you’d like to get more people in the selfie or just want to capture more of your background, you can do so.
There’s also the new Natural Portrait feature. It addresses many selfie needs with its optional beautification effects. AI algorithms can enhance face details, as well as any potential dual-tone spotlight elements. Low-light night portraits are taken to the next level with the Super Wide-Angle Night Portrait mode.
At least, that’s the case with the vivo V23 5G. The vivo V23e 5G is no slouch in that department with its 44MP shooter.
