DESIGN

vivo may have outdone itself on this one, as the V27e is the prettiest and most charming phone design I have ever handled so far. Compared to the rest of the vivo V-series, this one is special.

While retaining the overall box-type structure of the V-series, the V27e is distinct. In particular, the lavender purple color sets off a clean and fresh vibe. The creative fluid design of the back cover turns into chromatic colors when light hits it. With its slim flat 7.69mm frame, the overall look of this phone is very eye-catching. I’m not kidding when I say that people steal a look whenever I bring it out.

The back cover is made of composite plastic sheets that secures the overall fluid design of the vivo V27e, while also preventing scratches and fingerprint smudges. I just have one concern: the texture is so smooth it could easily slide down from your grip.

vivo probably anticipated this, as the V27e is durable against drops of up to one meter high, and is also resistant to dust and water. Additionally, the frame itself is a different texture that’s less slippery and easier to grip. vivo has also throughtfully included a transparent jelly case for added protection while still allowing you to flex the phone’s new fluid design.

I used the V27e to take photos and shoot videos for extended periods, and weighing only 186g, it is comfortable to hold
