Even being a successor, the phone is full of premium level specs. The pop-up selfie camera and the triple rear camera setup speaks volumes.
Most Vivo phones are released in the recent few months are focusing on the camera setup with pro quality. For the geeks who are beginning to experiment with video-building, at least this sounds good.
The in-display fingerprint scanner as well as the 3.5 mm audio jack are once again a combo seen in a number of phones. Actually, apart from Apple no company is seriously pushing ditching the jack yet.
