2-minute Review [Positives] |
- Stylish, slick, premium looks (looks more expensive than it is), good build quality
- The rear camera module has a copper accent on the edges, which further adds to the premium-ness
- The front is modern with a 6.53-inch FHD+ IPS display with a dewdrop notch, and minimal bezels
- Both the fingerprint scanner, and face unlock are quick
- The IPS display is crisp, and boasts good legibility and viewing angles
- Very good performance for the price category with a powerful Snapdragon 675 at the core - it delivers smooth performance not just in daily use, but high-end games like PUBG
- Decent triple-camera setup at the back: 16-megapixel primary lens + 8-super-wide-angle lens + 2-megapixel super macro lens - in good lighting conditions, the images shot offer good exposure as well as good color production
- Fast focus speed
- Good portrait mode - blurs the background quite well and gives you good bokeh effect
- Good 16-megapixel front facing camera - works well in both day-light and low-light conditions, and has a good portrait mode too
- Overall, the camera setup on the U20 is pretty decent for the price bracket (but not the best)
- Excellent battery life with a large 5000mAh battery - you should get a comfortable 2 days of use
- Fast charging support (18W) - you can recharge your phone's battery in about two-and-half hours
- If you value performance, battery and design in your phone, the the U20 is another excellent option from Vivo, after its popular predecessor, the U10 - the only area where it lags a little behind the competition from Xiaomi and Realme is the cameras
|
- Attractive, eye-catching glossy plastic rear panel with a beautiful multi-coloured gradient finish, that catches the light as you tilt the phone around
- The front is sharp and modern with a 6.54-inch Full HD+ display, thin bezels, and a punch-hole camera on the top-left corner of the display
- On the whole, the Z1 Pro is arguably the best designed phone of this price segment
- Has a handy dedicated Google Assistant button
- Large, sharp Full HD+ display, with good viewing angles, and sunlight legibility - you get an immersive experience while watching videos, playing games and consuming other multimedia content on it
- Vivo's Funtouch OS UI is fairly feature packed, and aesthetically is similar to iOS
- There is also now a ‘Dark Mode’ feature that turns almost all the popular apps dark
- The Vivo Z1 Pro also has a gaming assistant and mode rolled into one called Game Cube - it offers functions like blocking background calls, blocking notifications, reject calls during gaming, turning on Esports Mode and other things
- Excellent, class-leading performance with the new Qualcomm Snapdragon 712 processor - you will get snappy performance all-round, and even high-end games will run effortlessly in their 'high graphics' settings
- The smartphone also has good temperature control, so even with long times of gaming, there isn't much heating up
- Good set of triple rear cameras (16-megapixel primary camera + 8-megapixel ultra-wide camera + 2-megapixel depth sensor)
- You get some pretty detailed photos in most lighting conditions - the color reproduction and balancing is quite accurate as well
- On the front, it comes with a excellent 32-megapixel snapper, which again does very well with details
- Overall, this is a good camera setup for the price bracket, and only a bit behind the top cameras of the Redmi Note 7 Pro, and the Realme 3 Pro
- Excellent battery life, with a huge 5000mAh battery - you will get a comfortable 2 days even with heavier use
- Fast charging support - the device goes from 0 to 100% in 2 hours - which is pretty decent for the battery size
- The Z1 Pro looks like a smart winner from the Vivo camp, with hardly any flaws, and an excellent performance to price ratio - if you value performance in a phone, or are into gaming, this is the mid-range phone to get - if you are looking for the best possible cameras instead, then the Redmi Note 7 Pro, and Realme 3 Pro have a slight advantage
|
2-minute Review [Negatives] |
- Somewhat bulky
- Vivo's Funtouch UI is one of the heavier Android skins around, and packs plenty of bloatware - which means that if you like your phones simple and fuss-free, it's not the best option around
- The super-wide angle camera, and the macro camera, while offering some interesting framing options, are not that good in terms of image quality
- Low light camera performance from the rear camera setup is average (the Night mode does help a bit though)
- Uses the old microUSB port, instead of the modern USB-C standard
|
- On the heavy and bulky side (thanks to the large battery it packs)
- The display does not have a Widevine L1 certification - as a result, you can stream videos available on the over-the-top platforms such as Netflix and Amazon Prime Videos at a maximum resolution of only 480p — not HD or fullHD
- For people who like a stock Android interface though, Funtouch OS may not be to their taste (once again, it's more iOS like in its aesthetic, and also packs some bloatware)
