| VIVO X70 Pro Plus |
I decided to take a look at this phone after one of my friends of mine vivo he said yo this phone is crazy has a really good camera you should definitely check it out so I decided to give it an actual run and see how this phone stacks up so i guess let's walk through how it shocked me and we'll dive into this camera obviously because the camera is the big thing about this phone that everyone's talking about so let's do
So let's talk about some specs of this phone right here this is the vivo x70 pro plus there is a vivo x70 as well the non the non pro plus version and actually have that as well so i will be uh taking a look at that too it comes in two different sizes 128 and 256 gigabytes and this phone retails usd around 1100 now it does have a qhd plus screen lpto ammo led 6.78 inches with a 90 screen to body ratio has ip68 rating has wireless charging snapdragon 888 plus and it comes with peep this a 66 watt charger in the box for some insane charging so we'll definitely have to take a look at that and then it also has a plastic case too that you can use on the back it does have this quad camera setup and we'll kind of go over that a little bit more in detail later in the article
But first of all it does have a 50 megapixel wide with ois a megapixel periscope which is that 5x 12 megapixel 2x another thing i was really interested in seeing that it has this zeiss logo on here so the glass is made by zeiss if you don't know who zeiss is zeiss is a glass manufacturer they teamed up with a lot of different companies especially sony to make really good lenses so it is using zeiss glass that's kind of a one of the higher quality levels of glass and of course around the front we do have a 32 megapixel front-facing shooter it's a 4500 milliamp battery and it does have the in display fingerprint sensor at the bottom so you can get into the phone and unlock it look guys already off the bat
This phone does have a lot of high-end specs which you know obviously it's very impressive um you know a phone like this coming in with just such high-end specs and it's not like a phone manufacturer that everyone knows especially in america so just having a phone that has all these things already is like a big big plus i mean this phone's coming out the gate swinging for the fences which is really nice to see I will say in the hand this phone does feel premium it is made from glass throughout the whole phone so the front is corning gorilla glass Invictus and then on the back we have this fluorite ag and vivo says that it's crystallized glass with a prismic surface so this back even though it doesn't feel like glass
It doesn't look like glass either it is glass this is a glass phone and down here the vivo logo it's actually rubber so it's really cool that you have this glass doesn't feel like glass doesn't sound like glass but it's frosted and then you have this glass element up here next to the lenses now some people are saying that this could be this could double as a mirror i'm not going to go that far because the reflection isn't that great for it to be a mirror but you do have this kind of like design right here and this is definitely like old school fingerprinting glass because this this will get tons of fingerprints and i wipe this thing down a lot you do have your speaker grilles at the bottom you have your usb c port you have your volume rocker on the side you have your power button on the side and uh that is about it and also you can kind of see the camera bump here camera bump is is definitely there i wouldn't say it's anything out of the ordinary at this point after dealing with samsung's.
Samsung's phone like the uh s21 ultra um you know this this camera bump i don't hate i gotta be honest i don't hate the camera bump sort of used to it by now and i don't think it's horrible some people don't like how the phone looks I think it looks great i think the biggest struggle for me with this phone has been the size as you guys know if you follow my channel i tend to like smaller phones like 6.1 6.3 this is huge this is 6.78 so it's a pretty large phone one thing i notice about this phone it doesn't have great palm rejection and so since these uh these uh this display is curved your palm will sometimes hit different elements on the phone and then what happens is you're doing things you don't want to do i found myself opening the camera on accident a lot when i was just using the phone typing my palm sort of hit the camera or other things would happen i'll hit the back arrow and stuff like that i mean these are things that obviously can be fixed with software
I didn't immediately see a setting for that so it wasn't anything i could just turn off but that is something to be aware of also there's a lot of bloatware on this phone this phone did come with a lot of apps that i don't plan to use and things that you may have to just eventually get rid of um it's just one of those things that some some phones will come with those things so if you go under hot apps
There are different apps in here that you may not be accustomed to using and things that are not even on the phone you press get to download it but at the same time they're just kind of sitting there already so it's not the end of the world that you have sort of this bloatware but it is kind of uh you know i don't like it you're spending 1100 bucks for a phone i don't want to have bloatware on there i want to have apps that are relevant to what i use every day but once again that's not a huge deal
I would say as far as like day-to-day use using this phone this phone absolutely flies so of course you have the high resolution screen but beyond that you have that lpto screen that allows you to have the high refresh rate too so you know flipping between apps always feels great always feels fast everything you launch pretty much opens instantly now some apps do have to reload in the background which happens more common that i would like to see as apps are sort of closing in the background but for day-to-day usage in most people these are things that a lot of people wouldn't notice i will say there has been some inconsistent software experiences for me while using this phone I've had some apps crashed that normally don't crash and also even in the camera when i was snapping and taking photos some images just ended up green like I'll take a picture have a picture and then like a green square in the middle of these pictures and it happened from time to time it wasn't anything that happened a ton but it's something that i experienced during my usage with the phone and i just want to share it with you guys so obviously there's a lot to talk about when it comes to the cameras
So let's dive into the cameras i will say that this camera produces a realistic shot even in non-ideal lighting these pictures around the house are taken with the standard lens with hdr on and i think they look great the camera is not looking to get rid of shadows but they embrace the shadows and produce a realistic photo now some cameras will try to make these dark areas a little bit too bright and it could make an image look okay but it's not representative of what the actual scene looked like this camera does have a macro mode and it works similar to the iphone it just activates as you get closer to the subject i didn't find these images to be particularly great but it's still a feature on a camera that's expected these days i do find that portrait mode is a bit too aggressive with depth of field cutting off hair and other objects that should be in focus you can adjust the depth before or after the shot and i find myself moving it from the default f2 to around five or six to get everything in focus portrait mode doesn't handle motion well and leaving a lot of my shots blurry when trying to track down my sun but in auto mode i felt the depth was good enough to snag a great image also i feel like portrait mode does lighten the skin a little bit or maybe they call it skin enhancement at the end of the day i'm just not a huge fan of portrait mode i think it works in some instances but at the same time it doesn't leave a natural shot for me now speaking of auto mode i did like it better than portrait i think the colors are better overall
I find the shutter to be really fast too and once again with a sensor this big you you can see the depth of field is solid even on auto mode i do find inconsistent colors with each lens the wide and ultra wide colors are cooler at times and then the zoom lenses you can see here in this barn photo especially there are just a little bit warmer each image looked perfect in its own right but i don't think it looked like they were taken at the same time of day and also when you take a look at the zoom lens especially the 5x here a lot more noise is showing up so it seems like the sensor isn't good at getting rid of noise and the fine details when you start talking about 2x and 5x at night this camera is really fantastic these images were shot at sunset and they were amazing some of the best not some actually the best low light shots and night shots i've seen on any phone ever there's also a pro mode which you have all the settings you could ever want in a camera but you know i don't really use pro mode and i don't know many people who do when taking photos and then you can go into more and there's even more camera options like astro super moon pro sports and double exposure i haven't had a chance to try out every single mode but if they're anything like the other modes that i've tried they will work really well now video mode on this camera is nice it does shoot up to 8k but honestly i don't have an 8k display to test it but 4k looks really good now shooting outside and even inside with decent lighting video is solid the colors are accurate and it's pretty stable i wish the audio was a little bit better on the mic
But it's passable there are new stabilization modes standard ultra and horizontal line the ultra stabilization uses the micro gimbal and eis it's up to 1080p and 60 frames per second and it works well if you're running or walking then there's the horizontal line mode which i didn't personally see a use for but this is using the micro gimbal as well this will prevent the phone from rotating in video mode regardless there are tons of different modes for pictures and videos and to me i think this camera does live up to the hype is it better than what apple and samsung a pixel are doing it's really hard to tell for sure you know more time is needed more scenarios are needed but as far as low light this thing is a beast and it's the best i have ever seen period this camera overall is legit and i give it a thumbs up so all in all guys this is an amazing phone it's really nice the the only thing for me is just how big the phone is right it is a larger phone and it's something that's just really hard for me to use personally
I really do love the cameras i've talked about that a few minutes ago how great the cameras are i don't want to dive into that too much and the software experience is sort of hit or miss there's some good things about the software and the way the apps run which is nice and the specs of the phone is really good but at the same time just getting this software experience that is not consistent and these bugs that i keep seeing pop up every once in a while and it's not really close to stock android so some of those things makes it hard for me to use on a daily basis but of course that is just my thoughts you know i love that the software get cleaned up and maybe get some more bands to make this uh you know available in the US a little bit easier i can definitely recommend the phone but anyways guys those are my thoughts in my opinion of this phone i really am a big fan vivo did an amazing job with this phone i'm just looking forward to the next version or maybe some software updates that can clean up some of the things i didn't like but anyways guys just want to check this phone out
Hopefully
You had yourself a great day i'll talk
to you guys later peace
Thank you
