Pros and Cons

vivo X70 Pro

Strengths

It features an excellent battery life, with an endurance rating of 123 hours.
The phone's curved AMOLED screen is great, with fast refresh rate and HDR10+ support.
The camera setup is impressive for a mid-ranger, featuring a gimbal stabilized 50MP main cam and two telephotos.
Low light photos from the main cam are really good, with impressive dynamic range and contrast.
The phone's price offers great value for its features, especially when it comes to still photography.

Weaknesses

The Vivo X70 Pro doesn't have waterproofing, unlike the pro plus model which is IP68 rated.
It lacks stereo speakers, with a single speaker that earns only a 'good' score on loudness chart.
The phone uses a Mediatek Dimensity C1200 chipset, rather than a flagship-grade Snapdragon 888.
Video recording quality is disappointing, even at 4K resolution and 60fps.
Selfies from the 32MP front-facing cam are soft and noisy.
Night mode doesn't provide much benefit for the telephoto cameras, and can even make photos less sharp.

vivo X70 Pro

The Vivo X70 Pro is a premium mid-ranger that offers impressive camera capabilities, a nice display, and excellent battery life. The phone's design feels compact and lightweight, with a frosted glass-like finish on the back. However, it lacks waterproofing and has only a single speaker compared to the flagship model. The 6.56-inch AMOLED display is curved and features a fast 120Hz refresh rate, making for smooth scrolling and swiping experience. The screen also supports HDR10+ and content looks great with excellent color accuracy. The phone's battery life is impressive, with an endurance rating of 123 hours, outlasting the flagship model. One of the standout features of the Vivo X70 Pro is its camera setup. It has a gimbal-stabilized 50MP main camera, two telephotos (12MP and 8MP), and a 12MP ultra-wide-angle camera. The phone's camera performance is impressive, with great details and punchy colors in both bright and low-light conditions. However, the Vivo X70 Pro falls short in some areas, such as audio quality, which lacks depth and bass. Additionally, the chipset is not flagship-grade, but still provides high-level performance. Overall, the phone's camera capabilities and battery life make it a great option for those looking for a mid-ranger with excellent photography features at an affordable price. The Vivo X70 Pro may not be perfect, but its strengths in design, display, and camera capabilities make it worth considering for those who prioritize these aspects over other features.

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.
