Vivo V23 5G's India launch seems imminent as it has reportedly been spotted on Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS), as well as Standard and Industrial Research Institute of Malaysia (SIRIM) certification websites. The listings don't divulge much information about the upcoming smartphone. Vivo has not yet announced when it will launch Vivo V23 5G but it is expected to launch next month along with Vivo V23 Pro. The specifications of the vanilla Vivo V23 5G are not known but it is expected to be an upgrade over Vivo V21 5G.

As per a report by MySmartPrice, Vivo V23 5G was recently spotted on the BIS and SIRIM certification websites. The Vivo smartphone was spotted with its internal model designation V2130. It is being speculated that Vivo V23 5G may launch in the coming weeks, since a smartphone typically appears on BIS closer to its launch in the country. However, past reports suggest that it could launch as early as this month or in January next year.

Vivo V23 series is said to comprise vanilla Vivo V23 5G, Vivo V23 Pro, and Vivo V23e 5G. As of now, the specifications of Vivo V23 5G are still unknown. However, it is being speculated that the upcoming smartphone will be an upgrade over Vivo V21 5G that was launched in India on April 29.
