Verdict

The Vivo V25 Pro (12GB + 256GB) is a stylish mid-range 5G smartphone with a premium design, featuring a 6.56-inch curved 120Hz AMOLED display and a unique color-changing glass back panel in the Sailing Blue variant. It is powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 1300 processor, delivering solid performance for gaming and multitasking, and has an ample 4,830mAh battery with 66W FlashCharge support that provides all-day usage and quick recharging. The main camera system is a capable 64MP OIS-enabled triple setup, which captures detailed photos even in low light, complemented by a 32MP Eye AF selfie camera. On the downside, the phone lacks stereo speakers, an official IP rating for water/dust resistance, and a microSD card slot for storage expansion, and its Funtouch OS 12 software (based on Android 12) includes some pre-installed bloatware.
