Either way, the V30 Pro is still unmatched from BBK's roster, alongside the Reno10 Pro+ with no succeeding iterations whatsoever.

          When the bluff is called out, Chinese phones will be exposed.

              Why don't Vivo bring Origin OS overseas?? This is unfair

                    ashrobb, 26 Mar 2025Weird results. But I remember you've had a few misteps... moreNote also that GSMArena tests do not consider cellular network usage. In other words modem efficiency is completely ignored. Which is a huuuge differential factor tbh with all current phones..
                    Also i doubt anyone is interested in battery drain until shutdown.. i personally never let phones discharge below 18-15% and thus I'm more interested in battery test 100->20% or smth like that..

                      For past 7-8 years I am using Vivo phones. I never had any phone hang problem. But this time I am using Vivo v50 and I am so happy with the phone. No doubt camera is good but the battery backup is amazing. I don't need to charge every now or then. Once a day or sometimes alternate day also work. Thank you Vivo

                              Lol, so the 1 thing that they upgraded since V30, the battery, is actually not even an upgrade. This device is Worthless trash.

                                V50 charges 27 minutes faster, and lasts around 25% more, while it only has 20% larger battery.
                                There's nothing in Samsung battery life/charging speed for you to defend.

                                    Straight up outperformed by the S25 Ultra, even with the more efficient chip and a bigger battery. That is sad
