2-minute Review [Positives] |
- Slick, trendy design - with a punch-hole front camera, which is one of the smaller ones on a phone to date
- The good bit is despite sporting the four cameras, the back panel of the V17 doesn’t look cluttered - the rectangular (vertically) quad-camera module on the top left corner of the back adds to the overall design
- Amazingly lightweight, for a phone with 4500 mAh battery inside
- Despite having the same screen size as the V17 Pro model, it very easy to use with just one hand - which was difficult with the V17 Pro
- Both the in-display fingerprint sensor & Face Unlock are fast and unlock the smartphone quickly
- Beautiful 6.44-inch, Super AMOLED display with a punch-hole, which gives it an amazing screen-to-body of 91.38 per cent - it’s a delight watching videos on the Vivo V17
- The full-screen display also get pretty bright in all lighting conditions, exhibits very good viewing angles and punchy colours
- The Vivo V17 also comes with an always-on display option, which is useful
- Solid performance with the Snapdragon 675 at the core - every-day use to gaming - it’s all lag-free
- Good quad-rear camera setup (48MP main camera + 8MP ultra-wide camera + 2MP macro camera + 2MP depth sensor)
- Pictures shot in bright daylight show a good amount of details and decent colours - Vivo V17 doesn’t pop the colours too much and captures the right colour-shade
- The ultra-wide-angle lens offers a new perspective - shots look decent (though they are less detailed)
- The portrait shots also turn out to be good, but the edge detection could have been better
- Super Macro camera mode shows great details and good colours - the macro mode works best in good lighting conditions
- The low-light pictures with the V17 turn out well - the Night camera mode of the V17 especially captures better details and colours in low-light conditions compared to the default photo mode
- The 32MP front camera on the Vivo V17 clicks great selfies in good light
- The night mode also works for the front camera and again it works pretty well
- Very good battery life with a large 4500mAh battery - you will easily get about 1.5 days of moderate use
- 18W fast charging support: it takes around 1.5 hours (approx) to charge the V17 fully with its bundled charger
- Overall, the V17 is reasonably good value - especially if camera and design are your primary priorities, the Vivo V17 is a solid choice to consider in the under 30k segment - it does well on both those parameters
|
- 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] |
- The Software continues to be a relatively weak point for Vivo, with a cluttered Funtouch UI (though it is quite feature-packed)
- This is certainly not the best performing phone of this price bracket though - you get a much more powerful Snapdragon 730 with the Redmi K20 - in fact, there are the Vivo Z1 Pro and the Vivo Z1X that again cost less and come with a newer Snapdragon 712
- Low light video though, is below average
- If you are looking for an all-rounder though, you will have better options around especially in terms of software & performance - you will want to look at the likes of Realme XT, and Redmi K20
|
- 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)
