Pros

Camera

Dual 50MP main and telephoto cameras: Main and telephoto cameras both use 50MP sensors, positioned as standout hardware components.

3x optical ZEISS telephoto: ZEISS-branded Super Telephoto Camera offers powerful performance with strong 3x optical zoom capability.

4K 60fps video recording: Supports 4K video recording at 60fps, strengthening its multimedia capabilities in the mid-tier segment.

Feature-rich camera suite: Camera system includes a broad set of features beyond basic capture modes.

Reliable everyday photography: Overall camera system performs confidently in routine shooting scenarios.

Design

Premium design and finish: Refined, upscale design with high-end materials and multiple color options, including the distinctive “Sunset Glow” Golden Hour finish.

Display

Bright, vibrant flat display: Flat panel with exceptionally high brightness under strong ambient light and vivid, punchy color presentation for media and daily use.

Battery

Large 6,500mAh battery: Substantial battery capacity that comfortably delivers up to two-day endurance under typical usage.

90W fast wired charging: 90W wired charging enables impressively short recharge times despite the large battery capacity.

Software

Six years of security updates: Promised six-year security update support enhances long-term software security.

Audio

Loud stereo speakers: Stereo speakers deliver high volume levels suitable for media playback and notifications in louder environments.

Cons

Camera

8MP ultra-wide camera: 8MP ultra-wide sensor is described as acceptable but ultimately mediocre and unremarkable.

Weak low-light photography: Low-light camera performance leaves room for improvement in challenging lighting conditions.

Performance

Incremental performance upgrade: Performance is only a modest step forward compared to the V60, offering incremental rather than transformative gains.

Battery

No wireless charging: Lacks wireless charging support despite otherwise feature-forward hardware.

Software

Unrefined software interface: User interface is described as needing refinement and feeling forgettable.

Pre-installed bloatware: Pre-installed apps and intrusive Vivo-branded software additions create a sense of clutter.

Audio

Bass-light speakers: Stereo speakers lack convincing low-frequency presence despite high overall loudness.
