PROS

  1. Stunning Waterfall Display: The 6.89-inch AMOLED screen features extreme curved edges, offering a near 100% screen-to-body ratio.
  2. Futuristic Design: The phone is entirely notch-less and bezel-less on the sides, providing an immersive, uninterrupted viewing experience.
  3. Powerful Performance: Equipped with the Snapdragon 855+ chipset and UFS 3.0 storage, it provides top-tier speed and smooth multitasking.
  4. Excellent Battery Life: Features a large 4,500mAh battery that easily lasts over a day, even with heavy 5G usage.
  5. Fast 44W Charging: The Vivo FlashCharge 44W system allows for quick battery top-ups.
  6. 64MP Triple Camera: The main 64MP sensor produces high-quality, detailed photos during the day.
  7. 3.5mm Headphone Jack: Retains the analog headphone jack with a high-fidelity (Hi-Fi) audio chip.
  8. Fast In-Display Fingerprint Scanner: The optical sensor is very quick and consistent.
  9. 5G Connectivity: Supports 5G, making it a future-proof device for faster data speeds.
  10. Excellent Haptics: The haptic response on the pressure-sensitive "buttons" is precise and satisfying.

CONS

  1. Software Issues: Funtouch OS is heavily skinned, cluttered, and feels like a low-quality imitation of iOS.
  2. No Physical Volume/Power Buttons: Relies on pressure-sensitive virtual buttons that can feel unnatural or lead to accidental touches.
  3. No High Refresh Rate: Despite being a 2019 flagship, it only features a 60Hz display, missing out on 90Hz or 120Hz.
  4. Fragile Design: The "waterfall" screen edges are highly exposed and more susceptible to shattering if dropped.
  5. No Wireless Charging: Lacks wireless charging support, which is common in other premium flagship devices.
  6. No IP Rating: The phone is not water or dust resistant due to the pop-up camera mechanism.
  7. No Expandable Storage: The storage is fixed, with no microSD card slot for expansion.
  8. Heavy and Bulky: The device is quite heavy (218.5g), making one-handed usage uncomfortable for some users.
  9. No Telephoto OIS: The 13MP telephoto camera lacks Optical Image Stabilization, resulting in shaky, blurry zoom photos.
  10. Limited Availability/No GMS: The phone was primarily aimed at the Chinese market, often requiring manual installation of Google Mobile Services.
