CONS

  1. Micro-USB Port: Uses an outdated micro-USB 2.0 port instead of the modern USB Type-C.
  2. Older Android Version: Runs on Android 9.0 (Pie) out of the box, which is no longer up to date.
  3. Plastic Build: The phone uses a plastic back and frame, which feels less premium than glass or metal.
  4. Average Low-Light Cameras: The camera performance may struggle in dark environments despite AI features.
  5. Heavy Weight: Weighs approximately 193 grams, which might feel slightly heavy to some users.
  6. Funtouch OS Bloatware: Comes with pre-installed apps and a heavily customized user interface.
  7. Slow Updates: Generally, Vivo's budget-series phones receive slower Android software updates.
  8. LCD Panel: Uses an IPS LCD panel instead of an AMOLED, resulting in lower contrast ratios.
  9. No NFC Support: Lacks NFC, which means no contactless payments.
  10. Only 18W Fast Charging: While it has a big battery, 18W is considered slow compared to newer standards.
