The Vivo V23e is a more affordable sibling to the V23 5G. It has the same cameras, display, RAM and Storage. It even has the same 44W fast charger. However, it costs KES 34,000 whereas the V23 5G costs KES 59,999. It’s definitely the device to get if you’ve been considering the V23 5G, but that asking price is too high.
