PROS

  1. Innovative Pop-up Camera: The selfie camera hides inside the body, providing a truly full-screen experience.
  2. Bezel-less Display: The 6.59-inch Super AMOLED screen has an incredibly high screen-to-body ratio with no notch.
  3. In-Display Fingerprint Sensor: Features futuristic, secure, and accurate in-display fingerprint recognition.
  4. Solid Performance: The Snapdragon 710 chipset offers fast, efficient, and responsive daily performance.
  5. Excellent Battery Life: The 4000mAh battery easily provides a full day of heavy usage.
  6. Good Rear Cameras: The 12MP+5MP dual rear setup delivers sharp, detailed photos in daylight.
  7. Premium Build: The combination of metal and glass provides a very premium in-hand feel.
  8. 3.5mm Headphone Jack: Retains the traditional headphone jack, which is rare for flagship-style phones.
  9. Fast Charging: Supports Vivo's Dual-Engine fast charging for quick power top-ups.
  10. Screen SoundCasting: Uses technology that vibrates the display to act as an earpiece, eliminating the need for a speaker grill.

CONS

  1. Heavy and Bulky: The phone is quite heavy and large, making it uncomfortable for one-handed use.
  2. Average Front Camera: The 8MP selfie camera tends to over-soften results and lacks high detail.
  3. Underwhelming Front Earpiece: The Screen SoundCasting can make call audio sound muffled or distant.
  4. Slippery Build: The glass back is very slippery, requiring a case.
  5. No Wireless Charging: Lacks wireless charging, a common feature in other premium phones of its time.
  6. No IP Rating: The phone is not officially water or dust resistant.
  7. FunTouch OS: The UI is heavily customized and closely mimics iOS, which many Android users dislike.
  8. Slow Fingerprint Sensor: The under-display scanner, while innovative, is slower than traditional capacitive scanners.
  9. No SD Card Slot: The 128GB internal storage is not expandable.
  10. No Face Unlock: Due to the pop-up mechanism, the phone lacks a secure, quick face-unlock feature.
