vivo X Fold3 Pro

The Vivo X Fold3 Pro is a significant player in the foldable phone market, with impressive build quality and sleek design. Weighing just 236g, this device outshines its competitors in terms of weight distribution and pocket-friendliness. The aluminum body and carbon fiber hinge work seamlessly together to provide a premium feel. The X Fold3 Pro boasts two impressive AMOLED displays, with the inner 8.3-inch screen featuring a 2K+ resolution and supporting 120Hz refresh rates. Both screens are HDR10+, support high refresh rates, and have in-display fingerprint scanners - a first for foldables. The device is powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, with 16GB RAM and 512GB storage. In our testing, we found no lag or stuttering even during heavy multitasking and gaming. Real-world multitasking was where this device excelled, allowing seamless transitions between smartphone and mini-tablet form factors. Gaming performance was also impressive, handling graphically intensive games with ease. The ZBED camera system is versatile, featuring a 50MP main sensor, OIS, 64MP telephoto lens, and 50MP ultra-wide camera. Low-light performance was commendable, with night mode delivering brightened scenes without excessive noise. Battery life was also impressive, lasting two full days with moderate use. The phone supports 100W fast charging and 50W wireless charging. While the Vivo X Fold3 Pro is a compelling package that pushes the boundaries of foldable technology, its high price tag ( ₹1H 160,000) may deter some potential buyers.

vivo iQOO Neo 7

The vivo iQOO Neo 7 is a solid gaming phone that also delivers a good overall experience in various departments. Powered by the Mediatek Dimensity 8200 chip, it's a beast of a device that offers exceptional performance. The camera setup may seem basic with a single 64MP primary sensor and a 2MP depth camera, but it takes great photos for its class, especially in bright conditions. The battery life is impressive, lasting around seven to eight hours under normal usage, and the fast charging speed of up to 120W makes it convenient to top up. The display is decent, with good color accuracy, although some users may find the warm color tone a bit off-putting. While the camera and speakers are not the strongest aspects of this phone, they're still serviceable. The ultrawide-angle camera's absence is particularly noticeable for those who frequently use it to capture street or landscape photography. Similarly, the speaker output could be improved, with mid and high frequencies lacking detail and clarity. In terms of competition, we can expect exciting new products like the Xiaomi 13 Lite, OnePlus Note 3, and Samsung Galaxy A54 to arrive in the market soon. These devices might not match the iQOO Neo 7's performance but could deliver better value overall, making it a slight miss for this device. Overall, the vivo iQOO Neo 7 is a good option for those looking for a reliable phone under ₹30,000 that can handle gaming and everyday tasks with ease. However, it falls short of perfection due to its basic camera setup and average speakers. With some minor tweaks, it could have been an outstanding device.
