vivo X Fold

The Vivo X Fold is the company's first foldable phone, boasting an impressive design and feature set. The device comes in two colors: grey leather and blue, with a physical alert slider that allows for quick silence, as well as a 3D ultrasonic fingerprint scanner on both inner and outer screens. This feature provides fast unlocking, even when hands are wet. One of the main concerns with foldable phones is the crease, but the X Fold's performance in this area is satisfactory. While noticeable after daily use, it becomes less apparent under certain lighting conditions. Vivo advertises that the phone's screen can withstand 300,000 folds, equivalent to folding 80 times a day for 10 years. Gaming on the X Fold showed some limitations, with Genshin Impact experiencing frame drops and temperature increases. However, other games like Honor of Kings and PUBG took advantage of the foldable design, offering different viewing experiences on each screen. The camera is another highlight, featuring flagship-level specs including a 50MP main sensor and 5x optical zoom periscope lens. The phone performed well in various scenarios, with clean images and good color reproduction. Overall, the Vivo X Fold offers an innovative design, decent gaming performance, and capable cameras, making it a solid entry into the foldable market.

vivo iQOO Z5

The Vivo iQOO Z5 is an intriguing device that packs a punch in its price segment. With a sleek design and impressive specs, this smartphone promises to deliver on both performance and features. The device boasts a large battery life, making it perfect for heavy users, and the camera setup seems to be a strong point, offering a 64MP primary sensor and a capable selfie snapper. I put this phone through its paces, and my initial impression is that it's a formidable contender in the budget flagship space.
