We have been hearing more about the vivo V23 series for the past few days. The latest report on these handsets reveals their launch date in India. Let’s take a look at when they will be unveiled in the country.

According to the industry sources of 91Mobiles, the vivo V23 series will launch in India on January 4, 2022. The specific date is mentioned in a poster shared by the sources.

This image also includes a device with two front-facing cameras. The handset in question could be the vivo V23 Pro, which appeared in a teaser video recently. The smartphone is expected to be a tweaked version of the newly launched vivo S12 Pro.

On the other hand, not much is known about the vanilla vivo V23, which is expected to debut alongside the vivo V23 Pro. For now, we can assume it to offer better features than the vivo V23e 5G.

Fo the unaware, neither the vivo V23e nor the vivo V23e 5G is available in India. We are not sure if either of these will be announced with the vivo V23 and vivo V23 Pro on January 4.
