Recently had a chance to play with a Vivo phone.. Just like the design was a rip off from Apple iPhone, Vivo's Custom UI on top of Android is heavily inspired from iOS.. Even the icons looked same. There's no originality in Vivo & Oppo products. I would never buy a Vivo phone even in my dreams..

    AnonD-427767, 20 Oct 2017I always suggest my friends and family to avoid Vivo and Op... moreNow listen my suggestion. Never buy any Samsung phone. Their phones become very laggy soon. Also people love their design but they don't think about durability or they want to buy new phone every six month. Chinese phones like Huawei Lenovo OnePlus are very good. Don't buy Micromax BLU and this type crap phones. My advice is if android then go for HTC Sony Nokia Motorola GooglePixel... Always look for phones with stock or near stock android lightweight UI not for heavy ones like Samsung and LG they are eating your ram and soon make you phone very laggy. OK I'm not hater I'm just android fan and user. At the end it is your choice you can select phone with too many features and of course heavy laggy UI or smooth faster phones with lightweight UI. Cheers.

        Anonymous, 20 Oct 2017"more young" or "younger" ? Russia is part of europe?Yes. Geographically it's a huge part of Europe, my uneducated not-friends.

          OPPO is currently gaining a huge following in Kenya so I think it is right to introduce VIVO and that means in no time, OnePlus will be launched here officially.

                I always suggest my friends and family to avoid Vivo and Oppo at any cost.

                Saying that they sale overpriced products will be an understatement.

                They don't even have the brand trust that Nokia and Samsung benefit from.

                I have no problem with Chinese brands. I use OnePlus3 and Xiaomi Mi A1.

                When compared to those, Vivo (and Oppo as well) are straight up robbers.

                  Russia is not in Europe. I'm surprised that Vivo open stores in the Philippines before Taiwan, Singapore, and Hong Kong.

                    Well we'll it's as good as dumping crap and trash gadgets into new markets.

                    Old markets have realized the crappy products they sell.

                    All the best to new buyers

                      Russia isn't much of Europe. It can have 1/3 of it country in the geographical location of Europe but it's still not Europe. Borders are closed and Europea have sanctions on them and well you need a visa to travel there to.
