What shamanry did they perform to avoid throttling? 😲

    high time to bump the pricing a little lower OR to bump the chipset up a little. Being inferior to a Galaxy A56 is crazy although still justifiable due to the selfie and UW cam.

    Either a telephoto or a faster processor needs to be added ASAP. The display being a little dimmer than the last model is also quite curious

      Available already in Thailand...the Zeiss processing for selfie cannot be turned off and give a cartoonish look. And also the picture stays blurred during the processing time which is frustrating.

        Lovely phone. I've liked these V series a lot, but their main con is always pricing... They cost waaaay to much.
        Pictures are rough though. Awful processing or something, that grass is Galaxy A1X tier.

          When compared to Vivo V30, despite a 20% increase in rated battery capacity, the overall endurance is only up by 7.5% (battery runtime for each component is up by 3-9%), that too with a lower display resolution. I wonder what the reasons could be behind the lower than expected (through linear interpolation) endurance?

          One possible explanation could be that the software becomes more demanding and requires more tasks to be completed. In this context, I wish GSMA would update the battery life results for the older models, so as an apple-to-apple comparison could be made with their successors.

            How does it compare against other ov50e main cams?

              I have to say,the equally symmetrical bezels on all four sides is very pleasing to look at, even if it's not impressively thin. Also, the starry night color is super nice. I've had two blue phones before, but none as deep/rich as this.

                Not impressed by the photos.

                  is it just me or the main camera takes blurry photos? (specially the grass and leaves)

                  also, is the frame made of aluminum? It sure looks like so.

                    Horrible photo processing. Could the device have a defect? If not, then this phone missed the mark.

                      Eric20, 07 Apr 2025Not sure about the photo quality. Is it the ISP or Vivo... moreYeah, what's going on there? It looks awful the moment you zoom in.

                        vivo seems to have fallen into a plateau with the V series. Same chipsets for a couple of generations now, minimal improvements... Idk, the lineup feels a bit stale lately

                          Too bad there's no 4K 60fps, the SoC allows it

                            Not sure about the photo quality. Is it the ISP or Vivo's post-processing?

                            It looks worse than the oil paint effect on Mediatek's ISPs.
