Vivo Xshot review: Shot in the dark

8 April, 2015
Another Chinese flagship but with a twist. If vivo rings a bell at all, it’s most probably the X5Max, the world’s slimmest phone. Not a bad thing to be known for but vivo isn’t just about looks.

                          This phone is really great to use & it's true, although I've been using it for only 6 days but there are a few things about this phone that I currently don't like about:

                          1. The Music Player - Doesn't have a "Stop" button & a "Play a list of songs once" (Remember the letter "A" with a "Arrow" pointing right underneath it in Samsung Galaxy S3?).

                          2. Alarm - While I can still see the Descriptions / Label in the "Alarms" I set in my old Samsung Galaxy S3, this phone's Alarm's descriptions / label are barely viewable (Only the first word of the whole sentence are viewable).

                          Note: I meant no offense in this post, just hope this issue will get a solution soon.

                                I have this phone for a week now. Now in its latest firmware update, Funtouch OS 2.0 ROM 6.11.1.

                                But, my frustration is that I cannot change the photo image in that circle on the lockscreen. Can somebody here tell me how? Pleaseee! It's driving me crazy.

                                    Looks like vivo has dissected both sony xperia z1 and the z2 and put it in a new body and new os :0
                                    SAME SPECS SAME EVREYTHING BUT HIGHER BENCHMARK SCORE!!!???
                                    They have must done quite a fantastic job on the software making because those specs are one and a half year old specs...

                                      AnonD-183027, 10 Apr 2015For me, this review destroys the credibility of gsmarena as... moreI agree with you, the camera shows the "Pro mode" popup once, if I recall corectly. About firmware updates, you have to agree: it's sometimes very difficult to upgrade Chinese phones. You have to search intensively, most of the time on Chinese forums. I don't imagine Gsmarena folks doing that, and let's face it: they shouldn't. They would lack the time anyway.
