Vivo IQOO Z5 Pro Review: specs and features, camera quality test, gaming benchmark, user opinions and photos

Vivo IQOO Z5 Pro - a potential segment leader?

The Chinese company Vivo in recent years has been able to significantly move forward in the smartphone market. The corporation's sales have grown significantly, and the popularity of its products throughout the world has also increased. However, in some price categories, the company's phones still lagged behind the products of their opponents. The hero of today's review reduces such a difference in class to zero.

It is very difficult to express complaints about the design of the novelty. A variety of colors of glass back panels (from austere gray to a catchy purple gradient), a neat photomodules block and a 32-megapixel selfie camera peephole and inconspicuous display frames draw attention to the device at first glance. Slight savings are visible only in the design of the edging. The metal has been replaced with a cheaper and at the same time less durable plastic. The 6.7-inch AMOLED screen with a resolution of 2400 x 1080 pixels is worse than the flagship alternatives in many respects, but it is not inferior to competitors in terms of brightness and contrast. The subscreen fingerprint sensor does not disappoint with its accuracy, the developers have not forgotten about the oleophobic coating either.

The technical characteristics came out well. The newest Qualcomm Snapdragon 778G CPU has managed to establish itself as an excellent solution for the functioning of Android 11 and for gaming applications. Together with the chipset, 8GB / 12GB of RAM and the Adreno 642 graphics accelerator are installed, which cope with resource-intensive games with high graphics presets. At the same time, the case heats up insignificantly for after several hours of gameplay. You will rarely have to look at the percentage of the battery charge, because the 5000mAh battery can withstand about two days of active operation of the mobile assistant. 128 / 256GB of ROM is a good addition to the listed competitive advantages.

64-, 13- and 2-megapixel cameras are topped by a Sony IMX686 sensor and received optical stabilization. This fact, coupled with sufficiently high-quality lenses, provides decent detailing in images in any light. Blurred frames are obtained much less often, even with increased dynamics of events. The gadget was not without such satellites of a successful modern Android smartphone as loud stereo speakers , NFC contactless payment, and 5G support. And although the phablet is difficult to buy outside of China, its acquisition will definitely bring a lot of positive emotions.
