Vivo IQOO U1x Review: specs and features, camera quality test, gaming benchmark, user opinions and photos

Vivo U1x - ruined hit

Sometimes completely insignificant things can influence the buyer's choice, thanks to which this or that product stands out noticeably against the background of the decisions of opponents. However, the opposite situation is also true, when, due to the slightest flaw, the manufacturer loses a potential bestseller. So, the new smartphone from the Chinese company Vivo had every chance of becoming a strong player at the turn of the low and middle price segment, but the developer decided to significantly reduce its functionality to reduce the cost.

Design is an aspect of a novelty that has not been economized on. The texture of the back panel repeats that of the more expensive phones of the company, the design of the triple camera, the side fingerprint sensor also look very good. However, not the smallest display frames and the plastic of the case still show the budget orientation of the phablet. The 6.51-inch OGS display is also imperfect. If the displayed image can be called bright and contrasting, then it is not clear at all due to the modest resolution of 1600x720 pixels.

However, the use of the above IPS-screen increases the performance of the video chip in demanding games. It is thanks to this that the technical characteristics in the form of the Qualcomm Snapdragon 662 processor , 4GB / 6GB of RAM and the Adreno 610 graphics adapter are still able to please with low-medium graphics settings in resource-intensive projects. Rarely any Android smartphone today is characterized by storage problems. The device also lacks them with 64 / 128GB of ROM and a microSD card slot .

The main 13 and 2-megapixel (pair) photo modules will not replace the camera and will not raise the gadget to the rank of camera phones. Their photographic capabilities are sufficient only for daytime shooting. Under these conditions, the resulting photos and videos will be detailed and with natural color reproduction. The increased autonomy of the 5000mAh battery is also pleasing . More than a dozen hours of active screen time is almost always provided by the battery. Unfortunately, the most important NFC contactless payments for millions of people are missing, which will negatively affect the sales of a device that is not deprived of an already many controversial parameters.
