I got myself this one to Europe and after some fiddling, I must say this phone is fantastic! I love the size, the camera is outstanding and the leather backside makes this phone usable without a grippier body case. The phone allows you to replace the stock launcher (running Nova now and even recents menu works!) from settings. IDebloating required a bit of adb fiddling, but rooting was not needed. Also some apps should remain, for example you can de-install vivo gallery but then you cannot set a profile picture in contacts. Also I failed to replace the default phone and contacts app. Battery live is outstanding.
The downsides I have notices so far:
- no stereo speakers, but the single speaker is loud and clear
- screen is good, but has a bit of pinkish tint when tilting the view angle too much
- no band 20 for europe (but that hasn't been a problem for me so far as it's mustly rural areas)
- after coming from s7, I very often manage to click the back button instead of space when the keyboard is open, which is super annoying
- the Chinese iTheme app is nice, but I havent managed to add a payment method from europe so I can only choose free themes.
- you should have a phone that has a translate/camera app to navigate the chinese boot loader :)
- no wireless chargins in 2020
- punchhole (but really I thought that would be a bigger deal than it actually is)
Would I order a Chinese phone ever again? Well I'll be honest, a few times I thought it was a big mistake, as I was unable to get a new launcher working. Recent apps was not working, home button would always exit to stock launcher, no google discover etc. But now that I got everything working, I'm very very happy, not only have I paid 800e for a phone that would cost normally 1200e, but everything works and there is (almost) no Chinese left overs in the phone.

No stereo speaker in 2020/21 at the price of 900 euro. Vivo are you kidding me.

This phone is insane. The gimbal camera is revolutionary. Vivo are bringing new camera technology to the market and challenging the status quo. I'm excited to see what this brand brings next to the market.

AnonD-476622, 26 Aug 2020So funny... strengthened glass is NEVER as strong as GG!In terms of hardness, glass is glass and is ALWAYS between 5.5 to 7 on moh's hardness scale.
And also there is a difference between strength and hardness, in term of strength I agree gg is slightly stronger but if you put a case on the phone it doesn't matter.
