Vivo V15 Pro's perfect review: two-step ahead of camera race

Vivo launched Vivo V15 Pro a new smartphone in the Indian market some time back. It is currently being sold in the market. The company has priced it at Rs 28,990 and its biggest advantage is that it has a pop-up selfie camera. The pop-up selfie camera was first given by the company inexpensive smartphones with the NEX brand.

However, now the company has mainstreamed it and given this feature in a mid-range smartphone. It would not be wrong to say that Vivo is one step ahead of other companies in terms of giving unique features in smartphones. We have used this smartphone for a long time and now we are going to give you a review.

Design, Display and Look

Vivo's new V15 Pro looks similar to the rest of the company's smartphones. But the difference is that there will not be any look in it because only a pop-up selfie camera has been given to give full screen. There are triple cameras in the back. There is a separate tray for Micro SD card here. The speaker grill has been placed in the bottom. There is also a headphone jack, which has been replaced in the top.

The micro USB port in the bottom is only for charging. We expected that Type C should have been given here. The power button and volume rockers are placed on the right side of the device. There is no problem in use. The special thing is that if you use a lot of virtual assistants then you will get a different dedicated button on the right side here.

Talking about the look, touching this premium gives you a touch. Here's a gradient look with dual tone color in the back. But this gradient look is common in budget smartphones nowadays, so its look could be slightly better. Similarly, with the display of 91.6% screen-to-body ratio, 6.39-inch full-HD (1080x2340 pixels) super AMOLED display has been given and as we mentioned above, there is no notch in it. The display is quite bright and the touch is also quite smoother. The color of the colors is also great. You can easily use it in Sunlight.

The performance

Speaking of the performance of the Vivo V15 Pro, it has a Qualcomm Snapdragon 675 processor with 6GB RAM. These processors are currently new to the market. It has just been given in the selected smartphones. Redmi Note 7 Pro can be counted for the name. Now the question is that Note 7 Pro is a budget smartphone and Vevo's smartphone is about Rs 29,000, even then why is this processor? So the answer is that you will also get many features on this phone which justifies its price.

If the question is speed and phone lag, you will not feel any lag while switching apps here or operating a lot of functions. Nor is there any trouble getting hot in here. One problem which was felt was that the phone starts hanging on when the battery is low. Although in spite of all this I can not call this a perfect processor for this smartphone.

You can play the rest of the game too, and here you will also find a game cube option for gaming, in settings. Its internal storage is 128GB. Which is enough to click more photos than three camera smartphones. You can also use the memory card as well.

Speaking of software performance, Vivo's smartphone has the Android 9 pie-based FunTouch OS 9 UI. Which can not say much better or better than smartphones like Samsung, but better than earlier smartphones? There are no ads in custom UI here. Remember, there is no support for Widevine L1, so you have to look at Netflix's content in low resolution. There are not many blots in the software here. Some companies have their own apps that you can not delete even though they are few in number.

You'll find lots of functions in settings from Games to Home screen and from bike mode to smart click. Also, you can also place shortcuts for many functions on the Home screen by swiping right from the left. Apart from this, it is also fast enough to talk about the in-display fingerprint sensor and if you want to Face-unlock with a pop-up camera, it is also quite fast. The thing about your work is that the 3.5mm headphone jack is given here.

The camera

The most highlighted feature is the camera on this smartphone. We can call it two steps ahead of others for the best selfie and good rear camera. Speaking of specifications, three cameras are given in the rear. Here's an 8MP wide-angle sensor with f / 2.2 aperture, a 5MP depth sensor with f / 2.4 aperture and 48MP quad pixel sensor with f / 1.8 aperture. Keep in mind that these are not really 48-megapixel cameras, it's a 12-megapixel sensor that uses four-in-one technology. Here you will find many such features, including filters, which you also find in other smartphones.

Talk directly to the photography quality. You will get photos with bright and perfect colors in the daytime. Knight mode is here for low-light photography, which works best. However, you will not be able to use it in 48-megapixel camera or in wide-angle mode. Now, talk about Wide Angle mode, then this camera is a big task and your smartphone puts a lot of attention in photography. However, in this mode, when clicking on the photos in the night, the photos do not get delays and the shots are quite noticeable.

Now talk about Bokeh mode i.e. depth sensing. Here the camera gives a better image when there is a difference between the foreground and the background. If the subject is quite close then you will not get blur background sharpness in the ages. In this mode, low-light photography will be tried, and a little softness will be seen. We believe that this software will have an effect.
