vivo S17

The Vivo S17 series has been updated with the release of new mobile phones, including the S17, S17T, and S17 Pro models. The latter boasts a refreshed design, featuring a "main mountain sea green" color scheme inspired by fashionable fluid vision. This aesthetic is complemented by a larger water mirror and cloud window camera module, with increased camera areas and a soft light ring situated below the lens. The S17 Pro features a 6.78-inch 1.5K super retina eye protection screen, which Vivo claims is the best in its series to date. The display boasts a new diamond-like pixel arrangement, supporting 10-bit color depth, 100Hz refresh rate, and a contrast ratio of 8 million:1. Additionally, the phone's weight has been optimized to just 188 grams. Under the hood, the S17 Pro is equipped with the Dimensity 8200 chip, up to 12GB RAM, and 512GB storage. It also features fast charging at 80W and a 4600mAh battery. The camera capabilities have been upgraded with a JN150MP megapixel super light-sensitive portrait lens, supporting AF automatic focus and allowing for improved selfie experiences. The phone's temperature performance is within expectations, measuring around 43°C during testing. While some may complain about the retained router motor and single speaker setup, these issues can be overlooked by those who prioritize selfies and portraits. Overall, the Vivo S17 Pro offers a compelling package of design innovation, portrait shooting capabilities, and technological advancements, making it a solid choice for beauty enthusiasts and smartphone users seeking an upgrade.

vivo Y29 5G

I recently got my hands on the Vivo Y29 5G, a smartphone that promises a lot but delivers little. With a starting price of around Rs 15,000, I expected more from this device. The phone's design is decent, with a diamond-black finish and a sleek aluminum frame, but things take a turn for the worse when it comes to performance. The processor feels slow, even for basic tasks like browsing and social media, and the camera is underwhelming, producing average photos that don't impress.
