Vivo iQOO U3 Review: specs and features, camera quality test, gaming benchmark, user opinions and photos

Vivo iQOO U3 - step to success

Recently, a significant number of smartphones have come out that have not been able to achieve high sales due to several small but critical shortcomings. Somewhere the design pumped up, in some model they forgot about photographic possibilities, the hero of today's review loses most of the chances of being a bestseller due to the lack of contactless NFC payments. This fact is doubly offensive if we take into account the manufacturability and balance of the phone.

The appearance of the novelty is not devoid of attractive features. Although there are only two photomodules on the rear panel, they have a stylish and original design. The side-mounted fingerprint reader adds a phablet of ergonomics, as does the thin display bezels. The only pity is that the 8-megapixel selfie camera is not quite up-to-date. The 6.58-inch OGS display was not economized. FullHD + resolution is complemented not only by an impressive margin of brightness and good contrast, but also by a refresh rate of 90 hertz . The image pleases with smoothness both when surfing the web and in games.

The technical characteristics of the Mediatek Dimensity 800U processor, 6GB / 8GB of RAM and the Mali G57MC3 graphics accelerator are responsible for the successful launch of gaming projects. This is an extremely productive bundle for a device in the middle price segment, which allows you to count on the maximum graphics settings in many resource-intensive applications. Among the other advantages of the CPU, we note the support for 5G networks and excellent energy efficiency. One 5000 mAh battery charge will be enough for about one and a half to two days of active use of the gadget. There is only 128GB of ROM for storing information, the manufacturer does not provide a slot for microSD cards.

The main 48- and 2-megapixel modules are unlikely to delight. Sensors and optics are quite simple, if daytime photography is detailed, with natural color rendering, then when lighting deteriorates, it is difficult to make a clear frame without excessive noise. Thus, the device is a powerful and beautiful mobile assistant, which will not be noticed by the audience due to the reduced functionality and good, but far from ideal cameras.
