Our first impressions of the Vivo V23 were very positive. Taking the handset out the box revealed one of the best-looking smartphones we’ve ever seen. (We tested the gold model which boasts an eye-catching sparkly design.) Things only got better when booting up the phone, testing its cameras and browsing the menus.

Vivo is positioning the V23 as a competitive smartphone for selfie fans, as it has two front-facing snappers, including a super-high-res one, and loads of software features that improve self-portraits.

Since we don’t have the Vivo V23’s price, we can’t fully assess how good it is just yet - and we don’t know when you’ll be able to buy it anyway - but we’ve had some hands-on time with the device and you can find out about it here.

Onto the Vivo V23’s main selling point: its selfie cameras. There’s a 50MP main camera and 8MP ultra-wide camera for wider field-of-view shots. If you’re surprised by how high-res that main camera is, you’re not alone. It’s technically not the highest-resolution selfie camera, as the Moto Edge X30 has a 60MP one, but since most phones top out at 32MP for front-facers, it’s a great spec.
