The Vivo V23 series, which comprises the chameleon-like Vivo V23 5G and Vivo V23e 5G, is now official in the Philippines, and we have the local pricing and availability details for both models.
(Update, February 14: Check out our review of the Vivo V23 5G!)
Locally, the higher-end V23 5G is priced at P27,999 (around $547), while the V23e 5G costs P19,999 ($391). The lone variant of the V23 5G launching here will offer 12GB RAM and 256GB of storage, while the V23e 5G comes with 8GB RAM and 128GB storage. Both have 4GB of virtual RAM and boot Android 11-based Funtouch OS 12 out of the box.
Preorder starts tomorrow, February 5, until the 11th through Vivo‘s official stores on Lazada and Shopee. For a limited time, those who purchase any of the two smartphones during the presale period will receive a P500 ($10) discount voucher plus a free 2-in-1 clock speaker (V23 5G) or Lavanda TWS earbuds (V23e 5G), depending on the model. Customers can also preorder the V23 series at Vivo stores and kiosks nationwide. We’re including the links here for easy reference:
The Vivo V23 5G is the first color-changing phone for global markets. It’s also powered by a 6nm MediaTek Dimensity 920 chipset with a 5G modem for faster data connectivity where available, while a 4,200mAh battery keeps the lights on.
The V23 5G supports 44-watt fast charging, which the company says should charge the handset from 0% to 68% in just 30 minutes. As expected, the phone’s cameras are among its main attractions, sporting a 64-megapixel primary image sensor at the back and a 50-megapixel front camera with autofocus for selfies and vlogging. The front-facing setup also includes an 8-megapixel ultra-wide option, same as the secondary camera on the rear, to help you fit more people into your selfies.
