So YouTubers may currently be staffing themselves demented over the new iPhones as usual but don't let all of that noise cover-up Vivo's fresh new super-premium android rival the x70 pro plus now. This mighty mobile boasts incredible performance great battery life and some proper smart camera tech with fancy pants stuff like built-in gimbal stabilization and yeah I guess this is kind of a spoiler for the review. I like this phone. I like it a lot although I like those iPhones. it is certainly not cheap pliers at the ready sorry grand those gold teeth are coming right out now. I inserted my sim into the Vivo x70 pro plus about a week ago and I've been using it as my full-time personal smartphone ever since. the first thing that you'll probably notice about the Vivo x70 pro plus. When you get your mitts on it is that this is one heavy morpho even with my very well-developed muscular structure. This thing felt like a proper brick. It's certainly one of the heaviest smartphones of 2021. Thus far right up there with gaming phones like the black sharks and the red magics and near 7 inches in size.
The x70 pro plus is a proper handful too there's a one-handed mode to help out but you'll want to use both mitts for the most comfortable experience Vivo has once again opted for a rather clean and simple design that glass arse is mostly plain and also only available in this somber black finish. Which is a bit of a shim but at least the matte surfacer means that oily fingerprints and other scuffs are kept well at bay but so far touch wood also seems pretty damn hardy no scratches or any other damage to remark upon. After a week of use you got full ip68 water and dust resistance here the Vivo x70 pro plus as well and a pre-installed screen protector for extra peace of mind. There's even a protective case bundled in the box as well so it's all good on that front now android 11 is customized. Here via the amusingly titled fun touch os 12 launchers. Which isn't too dissimilar to rivals like color os and Miu imagine. Android is a big old tasty chocolate cake and then the fun touch os. launcher is a heap of whipped cream and sprinkles and jelly tots that's just been slapped on top and your reaction is probably going to go one or two ways going to be like oh that's a bit much isn't it or oh goody bring on diabetes personally. I like jelly tots about as much as I enjoy being poked in the eye with a fork and in this decidedly dodgy analogy the jelly tots are the huge pile of crap wear. 
The Vivo has shoved on boards thankfully though all of that third-party bollocks can be booted swiftly off the Vivo x70 pro plus if you don't want it and let's face it you want so in the end. It's just a minor inconvenience kind of like plucking jerry tots off of a cake see the metaphor does kind of work. If you don't think about it too much or at all right, I know that so far fun touch may sound about as much fun as bowel cancer but to be fair. It does add some pretty worthwhile features including a perfectly respectable gaming mode some handy gestures like the shaky torch effort and that's slightly awkward to activate one-handed modes and no complaints with that in-display fingerprint sensor either.This works a treat even when your hands are dry and scabby or a wee bit moist certainly good news in a world where frequent hand washing and sanitizing is strongly recommended still and of course. You've got face and lock on top of that as long as you're not wearing a face mask and Vivo has shoved gigs of ufs 3.1 storage onto the x70 pro plus that'll take some fill-in for most people. Unless you're shooting a lot of 8k home movies for instance in which case you're gonna be quite gutted to hear that there's no micro sd memory card support to expand that space.Media fans will get all hot and sweaty at the very site of that epic 6.78-inch AMOLED screen.
It's a wqhd panel although you will have to activate that resolution in the display settings. If you want to enjoy the supremely crisp visuals while you're there you can also tinker with the color output so, It's easy on the eye or straight up makes your peepers bleed with luscious vivid visuals.There's no hdr streaming support on Netflix at the time I shot this video but hopefully, that will be coming soon, and besides that and the slight intrusion of that selfie orifice. There's very little to moan about here at all. It's a great screen no doubt bumps the brightness up to maximum levels and everything is visible. You've also got 120-hertz refresh rate support as well for keeping everything nice and smooth and guess what that even works in third-party apps and the x70 pro pluses display is truly edge to edge as well.This is dipped slightly around those edges but thankfully. I had no issues with my palm fat intruding on the desktops or my apps. I was skimming around so no issues with responsiveness. I also enjoyed the stereo speaker arrangement here. Which pumps out sound at a decent volume without borking the quality and annoyingly and somewhat predictably the x70 pro plus commits the usual flagship premium cardinal sin of the ditch and the headphone jack so. You've got to depend on the Bluetooth stream and if you want to get a good bit of music action on the go thankfully.The Bluetooth connection was very dependable indeed strong range on it and no breakup in the audio even in quite a busy area. Now performance comes courtesy of the fresh five-nanometer snapdragon 888 plus chipset with a mighty 12 gigs of ram to keep things running smooth plus virtual memory as a backup all of. 
Which makes the Vivo x70 pro plus one of the most powerful spec smartphones of 2021. It is a proper beefcake.I don't think. I saw a single stumble the entire time. I was using it. no matter what I was up to that kind of performance is perfect for gaming with the most demanding titles running beautifully even if you jack up the graphics settings to maximum levels and thankfully. Unlike many phones running the standard snapdragon 888 platforms. I didn't notice any overheating here at all even a proper long session on gen chip. The impact didn't phase the Vivo x70 pro plus and I experienced absolutely zero issues with connectivity here on the Vivo x70 pro plus as you would expect whether you're on the wi-fi or good old lte with of course 5G support chucked in as you would expect and I was also very happy with the battery performance. You've got a 4 500 milliamp capacity cell shoves inside of the x70 pro plus is the mighty frame. I thought I'd put it through the test so. I maxed out all the display settings or 120 hertz the wqhd resolution yada. Yada made sure they were always on display active as well and I found.I got around six hours of screen on time per day and that's with plenty of camera use. You know using it as a sat nav lots of music streaming in the background all that good stuff and when it does finally need a top-up or you got that 55 watt flash charge support.Which is proper nippy and even better 50-watt wireless charging as well. If you've got a chi wireless charging pad that can handle that and reverse wireless charging as well. In case you've got some earbuds or some other accessory that uses wireless charging too. Now one of the most hyped features of the Vivo x70 pro plus is that camera tech. Something that Vivo has been optimizing with each subsequent generation. Now a lot of the staple camera hardware is packed into this. The thing is the same or similar to previous flagships so for instance. You've got that Zeiss t-star glass for the lenses which can help to prevent ghosting and other light-related issues. When you're shooting in really bright conditions and you've also of course got Vivo's five-axis gimbal stabilization tech on board to help you get sharp shots even in really low light. Now with help from that clever hardware, the Vivo x70 pro plus is a 50-megapixel Samsung gn1 sensor combined with the v1 image processor spuffs out. Gorgeous looking picks in practically any conditions my photos were packed with fine detail and colors that look the same on that mighty display as they did in real life even in strong daylight. I was impressed with the results here practically no flaring or saturation to speak of and in more ambient light when shooting indoors or in the evenings. You can once again expect a crisp photo with limited noise and accurate color reproduction. While there is a night mode on board to brighten up the scene the auto mode.I found by itself did a proper decent job. I also enjoyed the pro plus 48-megapixel ultrawide gimbal camera. which once again captured both bright and dark scenes with strong results although colors are slightly warmer especially.
When things get dim and for even greater flexibility try switching to the 8-megapixel periscope lens with its three times optical zoom which is great for getting detailed photos from a distance and the last of the lenses. Here is a dedicated 12-megapixel portrait shooter and certainly I have no complaints with my portrait picks kids and pets. In fact in general are captured cleanly as long as they are bouncing around like absolute mentalists and as usual, you got buttons of different bonus modes and tools to piss about with inside of that Vivo camera app I don't need to stay clear of like the beautifications that ai was this tended to produce less accurate realistic results. We do have pro modes. If you want to get involved uh tinkering with the white balance the iso levels get a very precise kind of result and as you can see plenty of extra stuff that you can piddle about with two including of course the obligatory ar sticker bollocks. I love it so much like most flagship phones these days the Vivo x70 pro plus can record video at up to 8k resolution but I stuck with 4k for most of my testing time as I don't have an 8k display and honestly what's the bloody point at ultra HD resolution my footage looked good.When beamed to my tele box. you've got plenty of detail punchy colors and highly respectable image stabilization of course complete with horizon level and stabilization to keep things from bouncing around. When you are moving and shooting. You can swap between all three lenses on the fly and the audio also came through nice and cleanly last up the Vivo x70 pro plus 32-megapixel selfie cam is again a bit good. Whether shooting in low light or brighter environments.
I struggled to find much to complain about with this camera tech at all it's reliable at pretty much any time of the day even on full auto and that's right. There is my full final frank review of the Vivo x70 pro plus after using this my full-time smartphone for a week and I gotta say.It's one of the most premium androids out there it ain't cheap that's for damn sure but I certainly really really enjoyed it and if you want after something that's got top-level performance dependable battery life strong media chops and an excellent bit of camera tech then you can't go wrong pretty much the only downsides or the lack of the expandable storage no micro sd support and the lack of a headphone jack as well but that is the same committed by pretty much every flagship smartphone out there borrowing the sony Xperia ones so that's what I think anyway be great to your thoughts on the Vivo x70 pro pluspecs
