Third-party reviews

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

  • One of the best, most versatile camera systems in a smartphone, with excellent results in various lighting conditions, especially low light.
  • Gimbal OIS (Optical Image Stabilization) system provides unrivaled stability for smooth photos and videos, which is a major highlight.
  • Gorgeous, premium build quality with an attractive design and official IP68 dust/water resistance rating.
  • Stunning 6.78-inch WQHD+ 120Hz LTPO AMOLED display which is bright, fluid, and vibrant.
  • Top-tier performance from the Qualcomm Snapdragon 888+ processor, handling gaming and multitasking with ease.
  • Very good to excellent battery life that can last a full day with heavy use or more with average use.
  • Fast 55W wired and 50W wireless charging support, with the wired charger included in the box.
  • Inclusion of useful flagship features like stereo speakers, an in-screen fingerprint sensor, NFC, and an IR blaster.
  • Generous retail package that includes a case, charger, and a USB-C to 3.5mm headphone jack adapter.

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

  • Software experience (Funtouch OS) is often criticized for having bugs, a cluttered or awkward user interface, and pre-installed bloatware/ads.
  • The phone is described as big and heavy, which can be uncomfortable for one-handed use over time.
  • Selfie camera performance is considered merely adequate and does not match the exceptional quality of the rear cameras.
  • Lack of 5G support on North American frequency bands, limiting connectivity options in some regions.
  • Some design choices, like the large, reflective 'Ceramic Cloud Window' panel on the back, are seen as unnecessary and add weight.
  • The ultra-wide camera's gimbal stabilization works in video mode but not for still photography in low light.
  • No expandable storage via a microSD card slot.

Verdict

The vivo X70 Pro Plus (12GB RAM + 512GB storage) is a premium flagship featuring a 6.78-inch LTPO AMOLED display with QHD+ resolution (3200 x 1440) and a fluid 120Hz refresh rate. It is powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 888+ 5G chipset and utilizes a professional-grade Zeiss-branded quad-camera system, including a 50MP main sensor with OIS, a 48MP ultra-wide lens with gimbal stabilization, and a periscope telephoto lens offering 5x optical zoom. Key advantages include its IP68 water resistance, impressive low-light photography aided by a custom V1 imaging chip, and versatile 55W wired and 50W wireless fast charging. However, some users note drawbacks such as its substantial weight (approximately 209g), the presence of pre-installed bloatware in certain regions, and battery life that can struggle under the heavy demand of its high-resolution screen and power-intensive processor.
