Vivo IQOO U1 5G Review: specs and features, camera quality test, gaming benchmark, user opinions and photos

Vivo IQOO U1 5G - one step away from popularity

A significant number of smartphones of the Chinese company Vivo do not receive the reaction from the market audience that the developer expects. The reasons, of course, lie precisely in the actions of the manufacturer himself. So, some phones do not come out in the global version, other gadgets lack a competent advertising campaign, and still others have several small but critical drawbacks for users. And it seems that the hero of today's review in one way or another refers to all the groups listed.

The design of a novelty can evoke both positive emotions and negative. The plastic of the case is far from the thing that I would like to see in a device in the middle price segment. But the back panel is nevertheless successfully stylized as glass, the triple photo module is stylishly designed, and the side fingerprint scanner and selfie camera in the screen look quite relevant and attractive. The 6.53-inch display is created using OGS technology and has a FullHD + resolution. However, some budget IPS-panel is noticeable by not the brightest and most contrasting picture in the price category, and there is no increased image refresh rate.

Technical specifications are more relevant. The fresh Mediatek Dimensity 800U processor supports 5G networks, and together with 6GB of RAM and the Mali G57 MC3 graphics adapter will also provide smooth gameplay in games for the gamer. You should not count on the maximum graphics settings, but the medium-high presets in many resource-intensive projects are pulled out. The volume of internal storage varies from 64 to 128GB , there is a slot for MicroSD cards.

The fact that there is no serious savings on the photographic capabilities of the trio of main photo modules, headed by a 48-megapixel photosensor, is also encouraging. Even dynamic subjects in daytime shooting are clear and saturated, and the color rendition does not fail. The battery capacity is 4500mAh . This is enough for a day and a half of active interaction with the gadget without having to search for the nearest outlet. But there are no stereo speakers and NFC contactless payments that are important for millions of people. As a result, the device lacks only a few touches to become a potential bestseller or at least a worthy purchase option.
