2-minute Review [Positives]	Super stylish design - the gradient color on the back adds the touch of flair, and plays with light in interesting ways - and then there is the 'tear-drop' notch - there are no two ways about it, the Vivo V11 is a striking-looking device Being polycarbonate (as opposed to the more common metal/glass designs of today), the phone is pretty light too, and likely more durable over the long term Another key USP of the phone is the in-display fingerprint scanner - it works just fine - although, like other such scanners - it's not quite as fast a physical scanner - but even to include such cutting edge tech on a phone at this price is quite an achievement for Vivo Vivo has improved its infrared face unlocking too, using 1024 facial feature points to unlock your device, even in the dark Great, tall AMOLED screen, with the tiny teardrop notch - manages to achieve a fantastic 91.3 percent ratio of screen/body - that ensures that even at 6.41 inches of display, the V11 never feels like a large phone - also colors are rich, the contrast is great, the blacks are suitably deep, and the V11 gets plenty bright enough outdoors - there is also an always-on display option in the lock screen settings that you can use Vivo’s FunTouch OS UI is pretty decent, looks a lot like iOS and delivers a lot of additional functionality - including gesture navigation, app privacy, duplicate apps, gesture shortcuts, and custom shortcut for long-pressing the volume down button Solid all-round performance backed by the efficient Snapdragon 660 and 6GB of RAM - it's butter smooth throughout Very good set of rear dual cameras, especially in daylight (although low light performance is also pretty decent) - the AI chops help, bokeh shots come out good, and overall picture quality is pleasing - all in all, the V11 camera performs admirably for a mid-tier device The selfie camera is good too The single bottom-firing speaker next to the micro-USB port is loud and sounds pretty decent, with generally crisp, clear highs and decent mids Very good battery - the 3400mAh battery on the Vivo V11 lasts at least a day, with heavy use, and a day and a half with more moderate use Quick charging support - Vivo’s Dual Engine Fast Charging tech fills the V11 up in less than an hour and a half On the whole, in the fiercely competitive mid-range market the V11 manages to have a bunch of stand-out features, and is a pretty strong choice - there's not another phone out there for that price to offer under-display fingerprint scanner and a characteristic waterdrop notch - add those gradient paintjobs in the mix and it makes for a very good all-round phone - the phone will compete with the Oppo F9 Pro (it swaps the OLED for an LCD panel, and doesn't have a in-display scanner, but keeps the waterdrop notch, and is cheaper) - of course, there is also the Poco F1 to consider, and if you value sublime performance over stylish looks, then it's a no brainer - but overall, the V11 Pro is still a very good phone on it's own and one with some surprisingly legitimate A.I. smarts	Premium build & gorgeous design: Dual Gorilla Glass 5 build, with an attractive, striking gradient design Modern front panel, with a small notch Compact form-factor - fairly easy to use one-handed Decent, reasonably accurate under-display fingerprint scanner (it's not the fastest though) Large, high-contrast AMOLED display Being part of the Android One series, you get a simple/stock Android experience, along with a promise of minimum 2 years of Android updates With the powerful Snapdragon 665 at the core, you get smooth dependable performance all-round - it's great for gaming too Very good triple camera setup on the rear (48MP primary + 8MP ultra-wide + 2MP depth) Images turn out with high level of detail and true-to-life colors - the contrast is also excellent, while the dynamic range is notably wide 8MP images with the ultrawide-angle camera are decent too - its per-pixel quality is much lower than the main camera, but the colors are still nice, and noise is minimal Portrait mode works well - shots are detailed, with excellent subject separation and convincing faux blur Night mode works decently well too Excellent selfies too, from the 32MP selfie camera - there is enough detail, the colors are nice, and the images are sharp enough Good video recording performance too - both 4K and 1080p videos are sharp and detailed, contrast is excellent, color rendition is quite nice and true to life, and the dynamic range is decent - at 1080p 30fps, there is also EIS, which works well Overall, the Mi A3 is easily one of the better camera phones in this price bracket, going head-to-head with excellent camera phones like the Redmi Note 7 Pro Very good speaker - loud, with fairly rich and deep sound Very good battery life with a large 4030mAH battery - you will comfortably get 1.5 days of use Fast charging (Quick Charge 3.0) support, with up to 18W charger Overall, the Mi A3 is an all-round good Android One phone, that does well on most counts, and additionally packs a stock Android experience (plus promised updates) - for a lot of users, who value a stock Android experience, and whose main consumption on the phone is images & video, it will be a good bet
2-minute Review [Negatives]	The V11’s shiny polycarbonate back panel collects fingerprints very quickly Video recording is decent but could have been better with image stabilization Micro-USB charging (instead of USB-C) is a bit of an odd thing for a phone that is otherwise on on the cutting edge of tech	The 720p resolution is on the low side though for a PenTile AMOLED display of that size, and this is the only weak-ish point of the Mi A3 - the screen is not the most ideally suited for long reading or browsing The phones ships with a lower 10W charger though, that gives still decent, but not the quickest charging speeds - it recharges from 0 to 28% in 30 mins, while a full charge takes about 150 mins But if you tend to do a lot of long reading on your phone, then you might want to consider higher resolution phones in this price bracket (and there are many good ones out there)
