Vivo Update, September 6, 2018 (01:25PM EST): Vivo gave us a good look at its new Vivo X23 device a few weeks ago, but we didn’t know specifics. Now the device is officially launched (via XDA Developers), so we know it all. The Vivo X23 will be available to order for 3,498 Chinese yuan (~$511) with a ship date of September 14th. It comes in three colors: Phantom Purple, Phantom Red, and Midnight Blue. There are also two variants with a giant Vivo logo across the back in Fashion Purple and Fashion Orange. The specs of the device are below:  Vivo X23 Specs Display6.41 inches 2,340 x 1,080 19.5:9 Super AMOLED display CPUQualcomm Snapdragon 670 GPUAdreno 615 RAM8GB Storage128GB CamerasRear dual camera: 12MP (f/1.8 aperture) + 13MP 125-degree wide-angle Front single camera: 12MP, f/2.0 aperture Audio3.5mm headphone jack AK-4377A amplifier Battery3,400mAh Portmicro-USB SecurityIn-display fingerprint sensor SoftwareAndroid 8.1 Oreo Funtouch OS 4.5 skin ConnectivityDual nano SIM Wi-Fi 802.11 ac (2.4 GHz/5GHz) Bluetooth 5.0 Dual 4G VoLTE GPS / GLONASS ColorsPhantom Purple Phantom Red Midnight Blue Fashion Purple Fashion Orange Dimensions157.68 × 74.06 × 7.47mm Weight161g Original Article, August 20, 2018 (11:28AM EST): Back in May, we posted our review of the Vivo X21 – one of the first smartphones to market with an in-display fingerprint sensor. While the X21 is a neat device that we enjoyed our time with, there were certainly a lot of issues present that made it hard to recommend a purchase. Editor's PickVivo X21 review: Fast and fun, but not without compromisesYou’re reading a Vivo X21 review, so you’ve hopefully heard of the Chinese brand before. But mention Vivo to a random person on the street, and you’ll probably only get a blank stare. That’s a … Now, only five months after the announcement of the Vivo X21, Vivo is launching a new device called the Vivo X23. You can see it right now at the Vivo website with a button that says “Make A Reservation” in Chinese. The first thing you’ll notice about the Vivo X23 as compared to the X21 is that the notch is way smaller on the newer device. The notch on the X21 looked much more like the iPhone X notch (or the notch on the OnePlus 6) while the notch on the X23 is more akin to the recently-revealed images of the Oppo R17 and Oppo F9. A closeup of the notch on the Vivo X23. Vivo While there are still those out there who will likely balk at any notch no matter what its design, it certainly is better to have these so-called waterdrop notches than the iPhone X-style notch that takes up a bulk of the top of the display. Editor's PickVivo launches its flagship smartphone with an elevating front camera, Vivo NEX, in India In a press conference in New Delhi today, Vivo launched its latest flagship – Vivo NEX – in India. The NEX sports an almost bezel-less display with a 91.24% screen-to-body ratio. The highlight of the smartphone … The chin is also a bit smaller on the Vivo X23, although without specific sizing specs we can’t tell by how much. But just looking at the two devices is enough to conclude that the X23’s chin is smaller. The X23 also features a dual camera setup on the back, just like with the X21. Unfortunately, the listing at Vivo.com doesn’t give us any specs for the Vivo X23. Rumor has it that the in-display fingerprint sensor is getting an upgrade over the X21 (which was a pain point in our review). Rumors also suggest the device will come with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 670 or 710, 8GB of RAM, a 6.4-inch AMOLED display, and USB Type-C connectivity. It’s likely that the Vivo X23 will get a full launch sometime in the next two weeks, so we should know specs, pricing, and a release date soon.
