The big headlining feature here is the design. The V23 Pro and V23 are being billed as India’s first colour changing smartphones. One of the variants of the phone, called Sunshine Gold features Fluorite AG glass on the back that can change colours (from gold to blue and green) basis of how the light hits it. The phones will also come in Stardust Black, which is a more standard offering without the colour bending tech. Regardless of the variant, you’re looking at soft touch matte finish all around.
The V23 Pro and V23 offer slightly different designs, too, and use slightly different materials. While the V23 comes with a flat metal frame, like the one seen in the recent iPhones, the V23 Pro gets a 3D curved screen.
