The vivo V23e varies slightly from the 5G variant. The front-facing camera is a single-lens 50MP one and not a dual one like in the 5G variant. The V23e is also powered by the Helio G96 processor and not the Dimensity 920 on the 5G variant. The G96 is still a capable processor that can handle tasks well.
