The Vivo Y53s 5G is a mid-range smartphone that boasts impressive features for its price tag of N131,000. Released on June 9, 2021, this phone supports 5G networks and comes with a 64-megapixel back camera, 256GB storage space, and a 5000mAh battery capacity. One of the standout features of the Vivo Y53s 5G is its sleek design, available in three colors: black, blue, and silver. The phone's body is compact and lightweight, making it comfortable to hold and carry around. The IPS LCD display has a resolution of 1080 x 2408 pixels, providing crisp visuals. The phone runs on Android 11 with a Qualcomm chipset and an octa-core CPU clocked at 2.0GHz, ensuring smooth performance and fast processing speeds. Security features include fingerprint unlock, face unlock, and security detection, which scans the phone for any app that may pose a security threat. The camera is another strong point of this phone, with a 64-megapixel primary sensor and two additional cameras, including an ultra-wide-angle lens for selfies. The front camera also performed well in our test, producing clear images. While there were no major issues with the phone's performance or features, we did notice that zooming in on photos sometimes didn't quite live up to expectations. However, overall, the Vivo Y53s 5G is a solid mid-range smartphone that offers great value for its price.
The Vivo V23 5G is a mid-range smartphone that excels in the selfie department, with a 50MP main camera, an 8MP ultrawide camera, and two dual-tone LEDs for spotlights. Selfie shots are captured at 12.5MP by default and look fantastic, with great detail, dynamic range, and colors. The wider selfie camera is also respectable but less impressive in low light. The phone's rear cameras, on the other hand, are a different story. The 64MP main camera captures good photos during the day, but sharpness is not great due to excessive sharpening. The ultrawide camera is barely decent, and the macro cam has decent detail for its small resolution. Low-light performance is also disappointing. The phone's video capabilities are solid, with the main camera capable of shooting 4K at 30fps. However, two-time zoom videos are disappointing due to over-sharpening. The ultrawide camera can capture videos in 1080p, but they're soft and dynamic range isn't stellar. The Vivo V23 5G starts at a more sensible price point than its pro sibling, but lacks features like stereo speakers and ingress protection found on other competitors. However, it has more appeal than the pro version, making it worth considering for those looking for a good mid-ranger with great looks and selfie prowess.
