Human Checked Mobile Phone Pros&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.

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.
