Away from the color-changing back panel, the aggressively-twisted display is presumably the most striking point of the vivo V23 Pro. The AMOLED panel in use then’s decent, though not exactly spectacular. It has an impeccably-sharp 1080 x 2376-pixel resolution, which works out to around 398 ppi.
We measured 463 nits of maximum brilliance on the slider-decent but far from amazing. The V23 Pro does have a light cadence that offers precise readings and automatic brilliance. The ultimate workshop great and can boost the maximum brilliance to 798 nits. That is a lot better and makes the V23 Pro impeccably usable outside.
Color delicacy is also decent on the V23 Pro, but not amazing. You get a choice between a aggregate of three color modes-standard, bright and professional. Both Standard and Bright objective the DPI-P3 shading space. Neither manages to hit deltaE value anywhere near what we’d consider color-accurate. Bright mode boosts the primary channels a bit to convey the feeling of a brighter display since that is one way the mortal eye workshop. Professional mode targets sRGB rather and is a bit more in terms of delicacy, but still not relatively color-accurate. Generally speaking, all of the color modes tend to lean on the colder side with a slight blue shade. You can correct for that by sliding the included color temperature slider a bit to the right, like on the screenshot, but do not anticipate any major enhancement in color delicacy.
On a more certain note, the V23 Pro has HDR capacities. Its panel offers HDR10 and HDR10 support, as well as HLG. Only Dolby Vision is missing. Plus, we’re happy to report that the V23 Pro has the loftiest possible Widevine L1 DRM instrument, which means that services like Netflix can offer HD and advanced streaming resolution. In this particular case, 1080p, since that’s enough to souse the native resolution of the display.
As of writing this review, the Netflix app refused to serve HDR content, which is presumably a whitelisting issue. YouTube was impeccably happy to give us HDR, however.
High refresh rate handling
The vivo V23 Pro has a 90Hz invigorate rate. You get a many options, one of which is to just fix the refresh rate at a static 90Hz or a static 60Hz, and vivo has also included an automatic switching option. Sadly, it doesn’t function admirably by any stretch of the imagination.
Looking through the vivo UI and its menus really turns out great. The phone goes up to 90Hz when you interact with it and also back down to 60Hz after a many seconds of inactivity. That is enough good when it comes to battery saving.
Unfortunately, the bus-refresh rate falls piecemeal formerly you start launching apps. There just seems to be no minstrelsy or reason for the switching. Both Chrome and the dereliction vivo cybersurfer chose to work at 60Hz and noway went up to 90Hz on their own. That was the case for utmost other apps we tried.
We also tried a many games which we know, for a fact, can run above 60 fps and make use of a advanced refresh rate. Unfortunately, not a single bone of these actually managed to spark 90Hz mode. A fact that was only made sadder by vivo’s else astral automatic game recognition when it comes to driving its gaming optimizations. Also, Dead Detector 2 started up relatively incorrectly at 90Hz but also dropped down to 60Hz after the opening cinematic. Talk about adding personality to injury.
At least there’s a tableware lining then-vivo’s decision to specifically add a strict 60Hz mode and a strict 90Hz one. At least as far as gaming goes, you can just go by and flip over to 90Hz. Utmost of the games we tried did, in fact, feel smoother while running at a fixed 90Hz, which suggests that they were making proper use of the mode and getting frame rates above 60 fps. Then is hoping Vivo’s automatic refresh rate switching mode ultimately gets fixed.
Battery life
The vivo V23 Pro has a mAh battery at its disposal. It’s far from the biggest around, and vivo easily had to immolate some capacity for the sake of consistence. Indeed so, that is a respectable capacity for the mobile phone’s 7.4 mm profile and 171-gram weight.
More still, the V23 Pro managed to make unexpectedly good use out of that capacity, scoring a veritably respectable 110 hours of total abidance standing.
The Dimensity 1200 is a enough effective chipset overall. The V23 Pro’s standby abidance could have been a bit more, but we’ve no complaints other than that. Both on-screen abidance figures are also relatively high.
Charging speed
Vivo has equipped its V23 Pro with the same, rather excellent 44W FlashCharge tech as plant on the flagship X70 line. Just 30 twinkles on the bowl get you from dead all the way up to 65 battery, and a full charge from zero takes just shy of an hour. Those are really emotional figures, indeed on the comparatively lower mAh battery.
Speaker test
The vivo V23 Pro has a single bottom-firing speaker at its disposal. That is a bit of a letdown seeing how you can get some enough good stereo speaker setup in other phones for this price. The speaker on the V23 Pro is decent but relatively miserable.
It managed to earn an Average loudness score in our testing with an overall relatively clean and tight frequence response wind. Basically it has that making it work. We did not find any loudspeaker equalizers to play around with.
