Camera Performance
Photography is handled by a dual rear camera system: a 64-megapixel primary sensor with an f/1.79 aperture lens and an 8-megapixel ultra-wide sensor with an f/2.2 lens. Selfie enthusiasts get a 32-megapixel front camera housed in the notch, shooting through an f/2.0 aperture. This front camera spec is notably strong for the segment.
Battery and Charging
The 4,000mAh battery supports Vivo's 44W fast charging technology. Vivo claims the phone can charge from 0 to 72 percent in just 30 minutes, making top-ups during a quick break genuinely practical. The slim 7.67mm profile and 167-gram weight ensure the phone remains comfortable in hand despite packing a full-sized battery.
Connectivity and Sensors
Connectivity options include 5G, LTE, dual-band Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, GPS, and a USB Type-C port. Onboard sensors cover an ambient light sensor, proximity sensor, accelerometer, gyroscope, and e-compass. Both face unlock and an in-display fingerprint scanner are supported for biometric security.
