Highlights & Review Of VGO Tel Note 23

Display Review:

The VGO TEL Note 23 uses a 6.78-inch FHD+ (1080×2460) IPS LCD panel with a 120Hz refresh rate and a punch-hole cutout, the exact same panel specification carried over to the VGO TEL Note 24, so buyers weighing these two VGO TEL models on screen alone are looking at effectively identical hardware.

The Tecno Camon 20 G85 switches panel technology entirely, running a 6.67-inch AMOLED screen at 1080×2400, giving it deeper blacks and stronger contrast than either VGO TEL panel regardless of refresh rate. Sources differ on the Camon 20 G85’s refresh rate: the manufacturer’s own spec sheet and GSMArena list it at 60Hz, while some retail listings advertise 120Hz , a gap worth confirming before buying since it directly affects how smooth scrolling feels.

The ZTE Nubia V60 Design trails all three on sharpness with a 6.6-inch HD+ (720×1612) IPS LCD panel at 90Hz, a noticeably lower pixel density than the FHD+ panels on both VGO TEL phones, which shows up most in small text and video streaming. None of these four phones combines AMOLED and 120Hz together, so every buyer here is trading off resolution, panel type, or refresh rate rather than getting all three at once.

The AMOLED panel on the Tecno Camon 20 G85 should also hold up better against outdoor glare than any of the IPS LCD screens, though official peak brightness figures are  across all four devices in this comparison.

Verdict: The VGO TEL Note 23 matches the VGO TEL Note 24 panel for panel on paper, so the real display differentiator in this price bracket is the Tecno Camon 20 G85’s AMOLED screen against three IPS LCD rivals, while the ZTE Nubia V60 Design’s HD+ resolution makes it the weakest pick for sharpness-focused buyers.

Processor Review:

The VGO TEL Note 23 runs on a MediaTek Helio G99 chipset built on a 6nm process, with two 2.2GHz Cortex-A76 cores and six 2.0GHz Cortex-A55 cores paired to a Mali-G57 GPU, the identical silicon powering the VGO TEL Note 24, so the two VGO TEL phones should perform almost identically in real-world use.

Neither VGO TEL model has a device-specific AnTuTu score published; the closest available figure is the Helio G99 chipset’s own AnTuTu v10 average of roughly 380,698 points as measured by 91mobiles across devices using this chip [Reviewer-sourced], with community trackers placing the wider range at 358,000-400,000.

The Tecno Camon 20 G85’s older MediaTek Helio G85 on 12nm is a clear step down on paper, and this shows in testing: device-level AnTuTu v10 runs on the Camon 20 G85 average 270,130 points, meaningfully below the Helio G99’s chip average, even though this is real device data against a chip-only estimate for the VGO TEL pair.

The ZTE Nubia V60 Design’s Unisoc T606 on 12nm sits at the bottom of this group on paper, and its AnTuTu v10 figure is itself. NanoReview’s own chip page lists an average of 333,647, while a separate NanoReview comparison chart puts it closer to 246,000, a gap wide enough that buyers shouldn’t treat either number as fixed. For gaming, the Helio G99 pair should handle more demanding titles at higher settings than either the Helio G85 or Unisoc T606, both of which are built for light multitasking and casual games rather than sustained 3D performance.

Verdict: On chipset generation and available AnTuTu v10 figures, the VGO TEL Note 23 and VGO TEL Note 24 lead this group on the Helio G99, the Tecno Camon 20 G85’s Helio G85 trails with a confirmed device-tested score of 270,130, and the ZTE Nubia V60 Design’s Unisoc T606 brings up the rear on a disputed benchmark, making the VGO TEL Note 23 the stronger performance pick for gaming-focused buyers in this bracket.

Ram & Memory Review:

The VGO TEL Note 23 pairs 8GB of RAM with 8GB of extendable virtual RAM for an advertised 16GB total, alongside 256GB of storage, and the VGO TEL Note 24 carries the exact same 8GB+8GB configuration and 256GB capacity, though the underlying RAM type isn’t disclosed for either VGO TEL phone while the Note 24’s storage is confirmed as UFS 2.2

The Tecno Camon 20 G85 matches both VGO TEL phones on paper with 8GB LPDDR4x RAM plus 8GB of software-extended RAM for the same 16GB advertised figure, but pulls ahead on documentation: Tecno’s own user manual confirms 256GB UFS 2.2 storage and a dedicated microSD slot supporting up to 1TB , settling an older listing that had marked its card slot as unspecified. The ZTE Nubia V60 Design is the outlier here.

While this comparison lists it at 8GB RAM, GSMArena’s listing for the ZTE Blade V60 Design (the same phone under its alternate name) shows only 4GB and 6GB RAM variants, and nubia’s own product page describes a 4GB physical RAM base extended to 14GB through “memory fusion” virtual RAM technology, not a straightforward 8GB configuration , so buyers should confirm the exact RAM figure on the unit in front of them before assuming parity with the VGO TEL or Tecno phones. Its 256GB storage does carry a dedicated microSDXC slot, though it shares physical space with the SIM tray rather than sitting separately.

Verdict: The Tecno Camon 20 G85 is the only phone here with fully documented RAM type, storage type, and expandable storage, matching the VGO TEL Note 23 and VGO TEL Note 24 on advertised capacity while offering better source-backed proof, and the ZTE Nubia V60 Design’s 8GB RAM figure needs independent verification given the conflict with its own manufacturer’s variant listings.

Cameras Review:

The VGO TEL Note 23 leads with a 50MP main sensor paired with a 2MP depth unit on its rear setup, ahead only of the ZTE Nubia V60 Design’s own 50MP main sensor, while the VGO TEL Note 24 and Tecno Camon 20 G85 both jump to a higher 64MP main sensor, so on raw resolution these two rivals have the edge over the Note 23.

None of the four phones discloses the actual sensor brand or model behind these megapixel counts, so every rear sensor here is beyond the raw MP figure, and none of them ship with optical image stabilization, a real practical gap at this price point for anyone shooting handheld video.

The Tecno Camon 20 G85 stands out on documented detail rather than just MP count: its main sensor is confirmed at f/1.7 aperture with a 1/1.7-inch sensor size and PDAF [Confirmed via manufacturer], the largest aperture and sensor size disclosed in this group, and it’s the only phone here that records rear video at 4K@30fps rather than being capped at 1080p. The VGO TEL Note 23, VGO TEL Note 24, and ZTE Nubia V60 Design all top out at 1080p@30fps for rear video, with the Note 23 and Note 24’s front-facing video specs going unstated by the manufacturer.

On selfies, the Tecno Camon 20 G85 again leads with a 32MP front camera at f/2.5, well ahead of the VGO TEL Note 23’s 16MP, the VGO TEL Note 24’s 13MP, and the ZTE Nubia V60 Design’s 8MP, the widest front-camera gap of any section in this comparison.

Verdict: The Tecno Camon 20 G85 is the clear camera leader in this bracket on documented aperture, sensor size, 4K video, and front-camera resolution, while the VGO TEL Note 23 holds a modest edge over the ZTE Nubia V60 Design on paper but trails both the Note 24 and Camon 20 G85 on rear resolution and selfie quality.

Battery Review:

All four phones in this comparison ship the same 5000mAh battery capacity, so charging speed is the only real battery differentiator here rather than raw endurance. The Tecno Camon 20 G85 tops the group on paper with 33W wired charging , though the box reportedly ships with only an 18W charger, meaning buyers need to source a compatible 33W adapter separately to actually hit that rated speed, a hardware-versus-marketing gap worth flagging before assuming faster real-world top-ups.

The VGO TEL Note 24 follows at 30W wired charging, a clear step up from its own predecessor, the VGO TEL Note 23, which caps out at 18W via a 9V/2A charger, matching the Camon 20 G85’s bundled brick but falling well behind its rated 33W ceiling. The ZTE Nubia V60 Design sits in between at 22.5W wired charging, faster than the VGO TEL Note 23 but slower than both the VGO TEL Note 24 and the Tecno Camon 20 G85’s rated speed.

None of the four phones offers wireless charging or reverse charging, so this is a wired-only comparison across the board, and official 0-100% or 50%-mark charge times are for all four devices, meaning the wattage figures above are the only verifiable basis for comparison right now. On identical battery capacity, the charging wattage gap between the VGO TEL Note 23’s 18W and the Tecno Camon 20 G85’s rated 33W is large enough to matter for anyone who regularly tops up quickly between uses rather than charging overnight.

Verdict: With identical 5000mAh capacity across the board, the Tecno Camon 20 G85’s rated 33W charging gives it the fastest theoretical top-up speed in this group, but its bundled 18W charger ties it with the VGO TEL Note 23 in practice, making the VGO TEL Note 24’s honestly-rated 30W the more dependable fast-charging pick of the four.

Final Verdict :

Across display, processor, RAM, camera, and battery, the VGO TEL Note 23 and VGO TEL Note 24 share identical 6.78-inch FHD+ 120Hz panels and the same MediaTek Helio G99 chipset, so the real gap between these two VGO TEL siblings comes down to camera and charging, where the Note 24’s 64MP rear sensor and honestly-rated 30W charging pull ahead of the Note 23’s 50MP camera and 18W charging for a modest PKR 2,000 premium.

The Tecno Camon 20 G85 trades processor performance for camera and storage quality: its Helio G85 posts a confirmed AnTuTu v10 average of 270,130, well behind the Helio G99 pair, but it’s the only phone in this group with a manufacturer-documented f/1.7 aperture, 1/1.7-inch sensor, 4K@30fps video, and 32MP front camera, making it the strongest camera pick despite weaker raw performance.

The ZTE Nubia V60 Design trails on nearly every measured section: the lowest-resolution HD+ display, the weakest Unisoc T606 processor with a disputed benchmark score, a RAM figure that conflicts with its own manufacturer’s official variant listings, and the weakest 8MP front camera, all while carrying the highest price of the four at PKR 35,000.

Weighing real-world impact over raw spec size, the missing OIS and lack of wireless charging affect all four phones equally, so they don’t move the ranking, but the Camon 20 G85’s confirmed camera hardware and the Note 24’s balanced camera-plus-charging upgrade carry more practical weight than the Unisoc T606’s marginal processor edge over nothing, since it has none here.

Bottom line: The VGO TEL Note 24 is the best all-around pick in this bracket for buyers who want the Note 23’s proven display and chipset with a meaningfully better camera and charging speed, while the Tecno Camon 20 G85 is the stronger choice specifically for camera quality, and the ZTE Nubia V60 Design is the hardest to recommend given its higher price and weaker, less-documented specs across the board.

Ranking:

  1. VGO TEL Note 24 – PKR 30,000  (Last box packed Price)
  2. Tecno Camon 20 G85 – PKR 30,000 (used)
