Vivo V23e Review: specs and features, camera quality test, gaming benchmark, user opinions and photos

Vivo V23e - the kingdom of successful selfies

Social networks for many people become an opportunity to realize their creative potential, and for some, a real job. Success in both activities often depends on the quality of the photographic material that appears before the eyes of the audience. The hero of today's review has a great 50-megapixel selfie camera, as well as a number of other pluses. But will they be enough for full-fledged competition with the leaders of the segment?

The design of the novelty can only be claimed in terms of the design of the notorious front camera. The drop form factor is outdated and doesn't look very interesting. But the resulting pictures are pleasantly surprised by the detail and color reproduction. Slightly disappointing is the plastic case, which is clearly inferior in tactile sensations to glass. From a positive point of view, it is easy to appreciate the frameless display, an attractive block of photomodules, an under-screen fingerprint sensor and, of course, the original colors of the rear panels. The 6.44-inch AMOLED panel did not receive an increased hertz, but it makes up for a similar lack of high FullHD + resolution and a decent margin of brightness. Not spared the AMOLED screen and the oleophobic layer.

The technical characteristics of the phablet were the Mediatek Helio G96 CPU, 8GB of RAM and the Mali G57-MC2 video accelerator. Although the performance of the bundle does not want to be criticized, this solution is also found in much more affordable devices. It is possible to rely only on the minimum graphics presets in Genshin Impact and Fortnite, while the user must be prepared for minor but unpleasant lags. CPU heating is within reason, energy efficiency is good. Without it, a 4050mAh battery simply could not show about 7-8 hours of active screen time. The amount of internal memory was 128/256GB, not the fastest UFS 2.1 format, there is a slot for MicroSD cards.

64-, 8- and 2-megapixel cameras leave mixed impressions. Auxiliary sensors are very simple, and the main module performs excellently only during the day, when an abundance of light helps in carefully transferring details and colors to photographs. Any deterioration in lighting turns the frame into an abundance of noise against the background of blurry objects. Without optical stabilization, the miracle did not happen. But the sound did not disappoint. Stereo speakers do their job well, you won't be able to miss a call. NFC contactless payments (not available in some regional versions) bring to an end the list of advantages of a device that Instagram users will definitely fall in love with. Other buyers can also look at alternatives to the gadget.
