Vivo V23 and V23 Pro: Smartphones that change color
Vivo has apparently taken inspiration from Apple for the design of the V23. Indeed, the smartphone features flat edges like the iPhone 13. As for the V23 Pro, it has a more classic rounded design.
But it is especially in terms of their color that the smartphones stand out. Because in their Sunshine Gold color, the V23 and V23 Pro can change color from gold to blue-green when exposed to the sun. This is made possible by a special coating called Fluorite AG, which allows the smartphones to change color after some time. The V23 and V23 Pro are also available in Stardust Black.
The Vivo V23 and V23 Pro also feature a large notch that houses two selfie cameras.

I wonder what kind of tiktoks people will do using these phones lol
I've had phones that never used the selfie camera once. My current one included. Usually I tape it up and that's the end of it until I recycle the device.
You may don't need DSLr after having V23 Pro phone.
