2-minute Review [Positives] |
- Jazzy, eye-catching back panel design with gradient finish and the unique diamond-shaped camera module
- The slim profile of the camera module barely protrudes from the back
- The in-display fingerprint sensor works well
- Face unlock is present too, which is reliable (though, not as quick as on the other phones at this price level)
- Vivid, crisp 6.38-inch full-HD+ Super AMOLED display - the colours are also very punchy thanks to the AMOLED panel, and text and icons are adequately sharp
- The display gets very bright, making it easily legible even under direct sunlight
- Widevine L1 DRM certified - you can watch Netflix and Prime in crisp HD resolution
- Funtouch OS based on Android 9 Pie looks very similar to iOS, and is pretty feature packed
- Decent performance powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 665 - it handles multitasking well and regular usage is smooth
- Decent set of quad rear cameras - 48MP primary + 8MP ultra-wide + 2MP macro + 2MP depth camera
- Close-ups are good, with good bokeh and details in objects
- In bokeh mode, the Vivo S1 Pro's depth camera does a decent job of detecting edges, and blurs out the right areas - colours and details are also good
- The macro camera is also handy at times, and lets you get very close to the subjects
- Very good 32MP selfie camera - it captures detailed photos when shooting under ideal light - results are fairly good even when shooting against the light
- The Vivo S1 Pro packs in a 4500 mAh battery, which easily lasts for 2 days of moderate use
- Overall, the Vivo S1 Pro is a decent pick if all you want is a stylish design, good battery life, and a punchy display
|
- Very good build quality and premium glass sandwich design, similar to its predecessor, the Redmi Note 7 Pro
- Uses Gorilla Glass 5, front and back
- Good quality, bright 6.53 inch IPS panel, with very good sunlight legibility
- Supports HDR - a rare find in this price range
- MIUI is one of the more refined and smooth Android skins around, and has a number of add-on features and a lot of customizability
- Excellent, best-in-class performance with the powerful Helio G90T on board - that performs around the same level as last year's flagship Snapdragon 845 - the Redmi Note 8 Pro sails through anything you throw at it - this is essentially a top-end gaming phone on the cheap - and it has a significant edge in benchmarks over it's main competitor, the Realme XT, that packs the Snapdragon 712
- The Note 8 Pro once again delivers some superlative camera performance for the price bracket (as the Note Pro series has done for a few years now) - especially from the main 64MP camera
- The quad camera setup on the rear includes a 64MP primary camera + 8MP ultra-wide + 2MP depth sensor + 2MP macro lens
- The main 64MP sensor is versatile and delivers excellent images at day and night
- It is also capable of some surprisingly good 2x (digital) zoom photos eliminating the need of a cheap telephoto lens
- The 20MP selfie camera is also pretty good
- Great video recording quality overall
- Overall, this is now the best camera phone under INR 20k, with a slight edge over the other great camera phone of this price bracket, the Realme XT, with clearer low-light photos, and slightly sharper images
- Excellent headphone audio
- Outstanding, class-leading battery life, with a 4500mAH cell and a super-efficient chipset - you will comfortably get 2 days of use and more
- Supports USB PD 18W fast charging, that can charge the phone from 0 to 40% in about 30 minutes - and for a change (for the Redmi Note Pro series), now also includes a compatible fast charger in box
- As usual, the new leader of Xiaomi's Redmi Note series is a fantastic bang-for-the-buck phone and will compete strongly with the Realme XT - choosing between the 2 will be down to your preference - the Note 8 Pro will deliver slightly faster performance, longer battery life, and slightly better camera - on the other hand, the Realme XT will deliver a better (OLED) display, under-display fingerprint reader, and faster 20W VOOC charging - you won't go wrong with either really

2-minute Review [Negatives] |
- The Vivo S1 Pro feels a little chunky at 8.68mm thick
- The back isn't glass, as Vivo still uses laminated plastic
- Having said that, the interface is unnecessarily complicated - swipe-up gesture to access system shortcuts is confusing, since it's in the notification shade in stock or other Android UIs
- There's a lot of bloatware preinstalled on the Vivo S1 Pro (though the third-party apps can be removed)
- Heavy games such as PUBG Mobile however struggle to run at a smooth frame rate even at the Low graphics preset
- This isn't a bad processor, but it's typically now found in phones closer to the Rs. 10, 000 mark, such as the Realme 5i
- In daylight, the primary camera manage to capture average-looking landscape shots - images lack depth, objects at the sides of the frame also have a bit of grain - HDR kicks in when needed, but the end result isn't always very good - some images have a very cool, bluish hue to them, which look unnatural
- The wide-angle camera offered a nice perspective, but colours weren't very accurate
- Low-light photos are just strictly average - focusing is a lot slower in the dark, and it takes a second or two longer to save each photo - there's no dedicated night shooting mode either
- No option for a background bokeh effect with the front camera
- Videos can only be recorded at up to 1080p, which is not great, especially at this price - there's no stabilisation either, which is a big letdown
- Low-light video is not very good, from both primary & ultra-wide lens - has lots of grain as well as weak details
- Overall, rear cameras are nothing special - you will get better outcomes with the Realme X2 or the Redmi K20
- The single speaker doesn't get too loud and the sound is a little tinny
- Vivo uses its Dual Engine Fast Charge feature, but the 18W charger isn't the fastest - charging the phone completely takes about two and a half hours
- If you'd prefer a more well-rounded phone though, we suggest looking at offerings from Realme and Xiaomi instead, such as the Realme X2 and the Redmi K20, which have much more powerful SoCs
|
- The camera bump on the rear is on the big side
- Hefty for the screen size, at 200g
- It's slippery like glass backs tend to be, so using a case is recommended
- It's not as clean and minimalistic as stock Android though - in the default setup you will get both plenty of bloatware, and ads in the UI
- The macro and ultra-wide cameras are uninspiring - for high quality photos you will want to stick to the main camera
- Video recording in 1080p could have been a bit better
- Weak-ish mono speaker - while okay, it isn’t very loud or crisp
