14 October 2018
While relatively young, vivo has its own acoustic laboratory and has been pushing for audio excellence in smartphones since the beginning.

"The X1 also claimed to be the thinnest phone at the time - measuring just 6.65mm. It beats the Huawei Ascend P1s by fractions of a millimeter. Never mind that, both phones had 3.5mm headphone jacks, unlike newer phones (which are larger in every dimension)."

It's so true. Today's companies are just greedy makers giving put false excuses and ripping us off by removing the 3.5 headphone jack.

So far, Samsung (and LG to an extent) seem to be listening to the customers and I salute them for that.

    If you look at this, Vivo has deviated in recent times from music centric to anything centric. Earlier generation of X series used to deploy premium ess sarbre & TI dac and amplifier. It is no longer Hi-fi & Sound.

      Almost the entire design of FunTouch OS, including the icons were directly "inspired" by iOS.

      Glad to see that the iPhone attraction is now waning away and that vivo is beginning to carve out it's own identity.

        People used to complain a lot about vivo copying apple's design before 2017! But the vivo nex with the elevating camera and the inscreen fingerprint scanner changed it's image completely as an innovative brand! So proud to be using a vivo smartphone!

          Vivo have the phones with best external speaker output. The loudness and clarity are just excellent compared to any brand.
