Third-party reviews

What we like about vivo iQOO 8 Pro (12GB + 512GB)

  • Excellent and sharp 6.78-inch 1440p LTPO OLED display with 120Hz refresh rate, described as gorgeous and top-tier by users.
  • Extremely fast and accurate ultrasonic fingerprint sensor (Qualcomm 3D Sonic Max) that can be set up with a single press.
  • Powerful flagship performance with the Snapdragon 888+ processor, suitable for demanding use and gaming.
  • Very fast 120W wired charging, capable of reaching 72% in just 10 minutes.
  • Good camera system with gimbal stabilization on the main sensor, delivering detailed and vibrant photos.
  • Premium, sturdy flagship-level build quality and unique design (especially the BMW M Motorsports edition).
  • Features 50W wireless charging and 10W reverse wireless charging, which are useful additions.
  • Good quality stereo speakers and overall solid audio quality.

What we don't like about vivo iQOO 8 Pro (12GB + 512GB)

  • The Snapdragon 888+ processor can overheat and drain the battery faster under continuous, heavy loads.
  • The phone was primarily released for the China market and global versions may be missing Google services.
  • Aggressive battery optimization in the software (OriginOS) can cause issues with background tasks like casting/streaming to other devices.
  • The device is considered somewhat heavy and bulky by some users.
  • The potential lack of 4K video recording on some variants was a point of confusion and complaint among users.
  • Resale value is generally lower compared to more popular brands in the same price range.
  • Some users reported a small gap between the rear panel and metal frame, raising concerns about water resistance, which is not officially rated anyway.

Verdict

The Vivo iQOO 8 Pro (12GB + 512GB) is a high-performance flagship smartphone featuring the powerful Snapdragon 888+ 5G processor and a stunning 6.78-inch QHD+ (1440 x 3200) LTPO AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate and an impressive 1500 nits peak brightness. Its main pros include the versatile 50MP triple-camera system with gimbal stabilization and 2.5x optical zoom telephoto lens, lightning-fast 120W wired charging that reaches 100% in just 18 minutes, 50W wireless charging support, and ample 12GB LPDDR5 RAM and 512GB UFS 3.1 storage for seamless performance and multitasking. Potential cons include the phone's lack of an official IP rating for water and dust resistance, a relatively bulky weight of over 200g, the absence of a 3.5mm headphone jack, and its availability primarily in China with OriginOS based on Android 11, which may present some language and software update issues in global markets.
