What should I consider when choosing a Vivo phone?

I'd also like to add the sound system to your list. The dual-speaker setup and massive amplifier in Vivo models really elevate the audio quality when listening to music or gaming, and I experienced this firsthand with the Vivo V23 5G. Additionally, despite being based on the Chinese ROM, Funtouch OS updates have become more stable since version 8.0—I experienced this myself when upgrading from the V17. For photography enthusiasts, the addition of RAW format shooting in the settings, alongside the ultrawide lens, is a major advantage.

Man, when switching to Vivo, I really focus on the screen's refresh rate, bro. The difference between a 60Hz screen and 90Hz or 120Hz is crazy—it really strains your eyes if you use the phone all night. Especially in mobile games or when scrolling, the smoothness is a game-changer. Vivo’s AMOLED screens there are also solid in terms of color accuracy, which is a plus for photography enthusiasts. Then there’s the battery situation, but not just capacity—charging speed matters too. Vivo’s 80W super-fast charging gets you to 50% in 10-15 minutes, which is a lifesaver in emergencies at night. One thing I’ve noticed though: if you use loose USB-C cables that aren’t the original Vivo ones, the charging speed can drop, so you gotta be careful with that.

I think you really need to pay attention to battery capacity. My old Vivo had a 4000mAh battery, but it was insufficient all the time. Now I see that even the 5000mAh ones drop below 20% after just 3 hours of continuous YouTube watching, so it should be at least 6000mAh.

Well, if you're thinking of switching to Vivo, bro, you really gotta pay attention to the cooling system alongside the screen. I upgraded to the V23 model last year, and back then, I got swayed by the big screen and AMOLED but completely overlooked the cooling. The first month was smooth, but then I started noticing performance drops during gaming or long video recordings because of overheating. Most of Vivo’s models have this cooling issue, especially in the mid to high-end range. I wasn’t surprised about the battery either. It has a 4400mAh capacity, and yeah, with 120W charging, it can juice up to 30% in 30 minutes, but long-term battery health takes a hit. I’d say when buying a Vivo, don’t just focus on the specs—think about longevity too. Mine can’t even hold a charge above 80% after six months, so if you’re not always near a charger, I’d prioritize battery durability over charging speed. Oh, and brace yourself for the UI—some people just can’t get used to Funtouch OS.

I’d recommend going for 5G-supported models, like the Vivo Y36. 5G is the future, and it gives you that smooth long-term performance. I picked one up recently—great price and runs games super smoothly.

Last month I switched to Vivo myself, and yesterday I had a huge argument with my uncle about it! He kept insisting, "Vivo has great cameras, but the software isn’t as smooth as Samsung’s." That night, I opened the night mode on my Vivo X100 Pro and took a photo—his jaw literally dropped. Even with that 50MP sensor, you can still get a normal shot when the sun’s setting. I think you can’t deny how good the photo quality is. As for the battery, I played games nonstop for 6 hours, and it barely dropped to 60%. With 100W fast charging, it’s fully charged in 20 minutes—super convenient for heavy city use. My uncle still tried to throw shade, saying, "But my sister’s iPhone lasts longer." Later, though, he admitted, "No, you were right—Vivo’s really good!" You should see what people prioritize—I’d definitely go for the model with the insane camera!
