Editor Rating
3.8/5

Realme V23 was meant to be an entry-level smartphone that resides in the popular V series sold by the Chinese brand, which features a simple and understated plastic unibody design that is highlighted by the glossy gradient finish that radiates out from the camera cutout. The camera cutout is shaped in the form of an elongated rectangle and features two camera sensors and a LED flash inside. It is slightly raised from the rear panel but should not be noticeable if you use a smartphone cover. The front features a vibrant display that looks completely bezel-less thanks to the use of a tiny punch-hole to hide the camera in the top middle.
