Third-party reviews

What customers like about vivo X70 Pro (12GB + 512GB)

  • Excellent and versatile camera system with unrivaled gimbal stabilization for both photos and videos, especially in low light conditions.
  • Great build quality, attractive, slim, and lightweight design that feels good in the hand.
  • Outstanding battery life, easily lasting a full day or more with regular use.
  • Gorgeous 120Hz AMOLED display that is bright, color-accurate, and provides a smooth visual experience.
  • Fast 44W wired charging (adapter included in the box) that can charge the phone in just over an hour.
  • Generally smooth and fast performance for daily tasks and gaming, despite the processor being less powerful on paper than some competitors' chipsets.
  • Generous retail package that often includes a protective case and a USB-C to 3.5mm headphone adapter.

What customers don't like about vivo X70 Pro (12GB + 512GB)

  • Lack of an official IP rating for water and dust resistance (only available on the Pro+ model).
  • Features only a single, bottom-firing speaker, which results in mediocre audio quality and a lack of stereo sound compared to competitors.
  • Video recording quality, particularly 4K, is considered subpar and not as good as still photos.
  • The selfie camera performance is disappointing and does not match the quality of the rear cameras.
  • No wireless or reverse wireless charging support.
  • Funtouch OS software is sometimes criticized for having a cluttered interface, bloatware, and sometimes slow software updates.
  • Performance benchmarks are lower than some similarly priced flagships using competitor chipsets.

Verdict

The Vivo X70 Pro (12GB + 512GB) is a camera-centric flagship smartphone featuring a 6.56-inch, 120Hz AMOLED display and a MediaTek Dimensity 1200-vivo processor. Its main attraction is the versatile quad-camera system (50MP main with gimbal OIS, 12MP ultrawide, 12MP 2x telephoto, and 8MP 5x periscope telephoto) co-engineered with ZEISS, offering exceptional still photography, particularly in low light, and impressive stabilization. The phone also boasts a premium, lightweight design with a large 4,450mAh battery and 44W wired FlashCharge support. Key cons include the use of a single, bottom-firing speaker (no stereo sound), the lack of an official IP rating for water and dust resistance, and a processor that, while fast in real-world use, generally scores lower in benchmarks compared to some competitors' flagship chipsets at the time of its release. The selfie camera quality is also considered average compared to the stellar rear setup.
