You think vivo is done with announcements this week after launching two smartphones on Tuesday? Well, thats where youre wrong. The company introduced a new version of the vivo X23, called Symphony Edition with lower price tag, less impressive chipset and an AI-boosted selfie camera.
The vivo X23 Symphony Edition has the same size as the regular X23 – 6.41 AMOLED screen with Full HD+ resolution and tall 19.5:9 tall ratio. It has a fingerprint scanner underneath, leaving one less distraction for the colorful panel at the back.
The manufacturer downsized the SoC to the 12 nm Snapdragon 660 and brought less RAM – only 6 GB. The storage remains 128 GB with no card slot for more capacity. The main camera setup on the back remains the same – 12 MP primary sensor behind f/1.8 lens and a secondary 13 MP snapper with f/2.4 aperture.
The selfie shooter is said to reach 24.8 MP, – a two fold increase over the vivo X23 that has a 12 MP sensor. Both the vanilla and the Symphony Edition have f/2.0 lens, so were putting in doubt if vivo implemented a new sensor or are just adding a new image-stacking solution as they do with other phones.
Going down the specs sheet, nothing else has changed. The battery remains at 3,400 mAh capacity and is still charged over a microUSB port, there’s a 3.5 mm audio jack on the top and the OS is Funtouch, based on Android 8.1 Oreo.
The price of the phone is CNY2,798 ($400/355). It is still for pre-order, with shipments and market launch happening on November 23. The vivo X23 Symphony Edition has two gradient colors – Starry Black and Arctic Pink.
