Feeling of start of the year in Asia, the Vivo V23 5G is coming to Europe. A newcomer to the manufacturer’s V series, this smartphone surprises at first glance thanks to its chameleon-like approach. The Vivo V23 5G can change color when exposed to sunlight, thanks to a technology specially developed by the manufacturer.
Two years of development were needed to offer a surface that reacts to UV light; going from warm shades (gold) to cold tones (turquoise) “in a few moments”. The builder adds an anti-reflective fluorite finish for a textured, soft-touch finish. However, it is resistant to fingerprints. The flat chassis of the V23 5G is made of metal and the device is relatively compact (157.2 x 72.4 x 7.4/7.6 mm for regarding 180 g).

An approach confirmed by the presence of a mode Extreme night vision to improve low-light images from the front camera. At the same time, the ultra-wide-angle lens is responsible for taking group selfies, especially at night via a mode Super Wide Angle Night Portrait.

Many modes and effects are offered (bokeh, background blur, party portrait, multi-style portrait, natural portrait, etc.).
