The vivo smartphone brand is not a household name in this part of the world. It should be, if the quality of the X50 Pro we reviewed is anything to go by.
DESIGN
The first thing you notice when you unbox the X50 Pro are the curves. The screen and the back are both curved at the edges, lending a lean and elongated silhouette to the phone.
Because the display can take advantage of the entire front real estate, the phone is slimmer than similar-sized devices and fits better in the palm despite its 6.5-inch girth. The device comes in a single colour – (alpha) grey.
The phone’s slim profile however means the camera structure protrudes quite a bit at the back and the phone balances awkwardly on a flat surface. Vivo has cleverly hidden the optical fingerprint sensor under the display, further maximising the screen utility. The fingerprint sensor combines with face recognition for extra security.
