Infrequently in the smartphone market, there are balanced devices. This is a problem not only of the budget segment but also of more expensive devices. Vivo X23 is not one of these "guys." The manufacturer has managed to create a smartphone that will satisfy everyone. Perhaps the Vivo X23 is not the best camera phone, but for its price, it takes decent photos. In all other respects, the Vivo X23 is close to the flagship level. The design of the smartphone is made scrupulously and efficiently: almost the entire front panel is occupied by the display - 91%. A small drop-shaped island was identified under the front camera. If you turn the vivo X23, you will not see the usual fingerprint scanner there. The fact is that he hid under the Amoled-matrix. There is an alternative way to unlock Vivo X23 - by using the face, which, by the way, works even at night, thanks to IR illumination. The main material of the case is glass, which has a special protective coating. The above-mentioned camera in Vivo X23 is double - the first sensor is 13 MP with a capture angle of 125 degrees, the second one is 12 MP. The camera does a good job even under not the most favourable conditions - AI helps out, as well as a advance setting of the camera application. For the speed of the Vivo X23, there is a Snapdragon 670, which is built on a 10-nm process technology, responsible for the near-the-clock processor. Chip helps 6/8 GB of RAM. In Antutu Vivo X23 knocks out honest 160,000 - 170,000 points. For lovers of high-quality sound, the Vivo X23 also has a surprise - a dedicated Asahi Kasei AK4377A audio chip. The “light” in the smartphone supports a 3,400 mAh battery. Vivo X23 works under the operating system Android 9.0. with add on Funtouch 4.5 OS

The market for mobile gaming has already outpaced the classic method of stationary absorption of gaming products. Modern man prefers to play on his smartphone in the subway than to include a huge colossus of the house with a dozen coolers and other gadgets. Therefore, it is not surprising that almost every self-respecting brand produces a gaming smartphone, but not everyone gets it as elegantly as the Vivo. IQOO is a really beautiful gaming smartphone. The front of the smartphone is decorated with a large and contrasting FHD + AMOLED with a screen ratio of 19.5: 9, which occupies more than 90% of the front of the smartphone. On the body of the Vivo IQOO you will not find parrot colors - only bright accents. For example, a bright orange power button, and under the rear window of the smartphone you can see the texture of hydrocarbon fiber. If you look closely, it looks really aggressive, but from a distance - quite conservative. The main advantage of Vivo IQOO is its performance. Naturally, no one else could answer for the speed of this smartphone, except for Snapdragon 855. At the moment it is the most powerful processor. It is built on a 7-nm process technology and works on the basis of eight Kryo 485 cores. The video core Adreno 640 is responsible for the processing speed of the picture. Such a powerful system cannot operate without an additional cooling system, so a special liquid-cooled heat pipe can be found under the hood of the Vivo IQOO. It effectively takes on heat, optimizing the work of iron. But not a single performance. The Vivo IQOO has a very interesting camera trio on board: the main camera is 12 MP, an additional sensor is 13MP (wide-angle), the third camera is 2 MP to estimate the depth of the image. All of them work under the strict guidance of AI. As of battery its 4000 mAh, and the whole engineering miracle works under the operating system Android 9.0.
