Vivo is bringing in the affordable Vivo V23e 5G to Malaysia next week. Set to debut here on 9 December, it’s quite a sleek-looking, thin budget-friendly smartphone.

One of the highlight features of the V23e is its 44MP front-facing camera with a number of selfie-centric features like Natural Portrait mode and Multi-Style Portrait. It also has a unique colourway in a slim chassis; the phone measures only 7.4mm thin.

Other specifications of the v23e 5G include a MediaTek Dimensity 810 5G chip, a 6.44-inch 2400 x 1080 AMOLED display, 8GB of RAM, 128GB of expandable storage, a triple camera system (50MP primary + 8MP ultra-wide + 2MP macro), and a 4,050mAh battery with support for 44W fast charging.

The Vivo V23e 5G will be launched in Malaysia next week on 9 December. The phone maker also mentioned that the standard V23e has been certified by SIRIM; it is essentially the same phone with a different chipset and camera configuration. It remains to be seen if both phones will be introduced at the same time.
