How can it possible that a gaming phone have a notch? We have several gaming phones but neither of them have a notch: Rog, Redmagic, Razer, Blackshark

So... what is it exactly that makes this phone a "gaming" one? Additional cooling solution? Software improvements? Auto overclocking? No one needs that, stock SD855 will handle everything just fine. What "gamers" need are accessories and, more importantly, GAMES!
I'm not calling it a bad phone, it's a flagship and a cheap one for sure. But there's not a single bit here for "gamers". Just another cheaper flagship like any other.

tigerbomb1996, 01 Mar 2019so for $490 you will get 8gb ram/128gb storage with sd 855,... moreReally the only hope for this device is xda-developers.com
Unlock the bootloader, install TWRP, use a more optimised kernel, get root access, flash ResurrectionRemix, install speaker MOD, and finally install the Gcam MOD. Not to mention switching on those hidden security settings, and installing your favourite paid Core Apps (Launcher, File Explorer, Browser, Keyboard, Email, Messages, and Phone).
Sure, the cameras and speakers will be lagging, and there would be no IP68 protection.... but overall it would be a pretty good experience (once customised) and it would be relatively cheap/affordable/good value.

Shui8, 01 Mar 2019wtf thats a lot of Turbo lolI know right? Instead of ending with a lot of "Turbo"s, they might as well categorize them into Internet, AI, Gaming etc, since they already have this service called Multi-Turbo with a "Turbo" behind it. Naming a lot of "Turbo"s behind makes it sound like some "cleaning tool" that can "BOOST your smartphone up to 70%" that kind of bullshit, instead it's slowing down your smartphone because of all the ads inside it in my opinion (Looking at u Cheetah Mobile with your "Clean Master"). Since they're putting a triple camera setup on the rear (duh obviously lol), I expect decent results from them, and not something that's put there for show, or should I say, gimmicks? Unfortunately there isn't any information about its software though, hopefully it's different and better from their FunTouch OS, especially their icons and navigation buttons

Nice pricing. But Funtouch OS is crappy.

Doesn't look bad but when I saw the LTE bands, welp, no point in getting it since I live in the US. Oh well.

How's the rom support for vivo phones? This would be a great buy if LineageOS can be installed on it.

That seems to be one hell of a monster smartphone. If only the cameras (three of them) were good, even if not as exceptional as those of Huawei Mate 20 pro/P20 pro, IPhone Xs Max etc. If it should be able to keep up with some of the best camera phones, the snapdragon 855 processor coupled with 8GB/12GB RAM and 128GB/256GB of internal storage, with a "super liquid cooling" mechanism and of course the super fast 44W charging really make it one of a kind in smartphone business

There not a new single feature in this phone, it took all gaming features from other brands except 120 FPS, and the spec are beastly for only 500 USD, itÂ’s like a gaming one plus 7 but with worse camera but at least it keeps the 3.5 headphone jack

that s actually a good price, but Vivo provides almost 0 updates and android optimization is pretty bad. If i have to buy a chinese phone, that would be a Xiaomi, they optimize pretty good its phones.
