Vivo S13 Review: specs and features, camera quality test, gaming benchmark, user opinions and photos

Vivo S13 - dude just got better!

Vivo's S-series of smartphones have always been distinguished by both excellent photo capabilities of the selfie camera and memorable design. Gradually, the manufacturer began to increase the functionality of phones and other parameters. And the trend clearly did not end with the hero of the review.

A pair of front modules with a main sensor of 44 megapixels is still framed in the form of an "eyebrow", albeit reduced in size. But perhaps this is the only drawback of the appearance of the gadget, which is easy to ask for high-quality detailed selfies. Glass and metal body, modest display frame, built-in fingerprint sensor and excellent ergonomics make the device more convenient and more beautiful than most opponents. The AMOLED screen, which has grown up to 6.52 inches , will also please with a picture refresh rate increased to 120 hertz . Now the image with a resolution of 2400x1080 pixels is characterized by flagship smoothness. Of course, the indicators of brightness and contrast did not let us down either.

Specifications have received an increase in performance thanks to the use of the latest Mediatek Dimensity 1300 CPU, 8GB / 12GB RAM and Mali G77MC9 video core. Even high-tech titles such as Genshin Impact, Fortnite and PUBG: New State will experience smooth operation without feeling warm after an hour of intense play. Other users will be able to feel the power of the processor in everyday life, because launching applications, scrolling web pages and other processes are amazingly fast. The energy efficiency of the chipset with a process technology of 6Nm does not upset either. A 4500mAh battery requires a charger, usually once every one and a half days. The battery also has a 50W charger.

Improved photographic capabilities and main cameras. The 50-megapixel Sony IMX766 photomodule, coupled with 8- and 2-megapixel auxiliary cameras, is endowed with a hybrid stabilization system, which minimizes blurring even when shooting at night. The amount of noise on night frames is also less, the video sequence captured in such conditions is more stable. The appearance of high-quality stereo sound is another reason to praise the Android smartphone in question. NFC contactless payments and support for 5G networks also deserve a positive assessment. But there is also a significant problem: the device is focused on China, so there is no FDD-LTE B7, which is important for Europe and the CIS, responsible for the correct functioning of 4G networks in some regions. But if such a shortcoming is not critical for the buyer, then the Android phone will be an excellent mobile assistant for many years to come.
