The Android mobile market is full of opportunities of all kinds from multiple manufacturers. The main companies that dominate the sector are Samsung, Xiaomi and OPPO, although there are other brands such as Vivo that go somewhat unnoticed and are increasingly present among users.
Choosing a good smartphone today is a somewhat complicated mission due to the saturation of options. Within the mid-range of devices there are many alternatives that look almost identical, so making the decision comes to depend solely and exclusively on the price. In this sense, Vivo has a fairly complete catalog and many alternatives that boast a formidable value for money. The problem is that the organization of the models is somewhat confusing for the user, but here we are going to clear up this and a much more important question: what do users think of their mobile phones?
Vivo sweeps users
The Chinese company is 12 years old, as it was in 2011 when it created its range of smartphones. Since then it has been gradually gaining ground, but the dominant companies in the sector leave it little market share. Now, it has become the official phone of the Santander League and this has caused more users to show interest in their devices, so it is worth taking a look at the evaluations of them.
First of all, it is important to note that Vivo’s terminals are divided into three families: the Y series, V series and X series , corresponding to the low, medium and high range, respectively. So we are going to select a model from each line to appreciate the opinions of the users and to know if it really is a good purchase.
Vivo Y35
A very cheap bet from the Asian company is the Vivo Y35. This phone is one of Amazon’s top user choices with up to 326 ratings and 4.5 stars . Among the main features of this mobile are a Snapdragon 680 processor , 90 Hz screen, a colossal 5,000 mAh battery with 44W fast charging and a 50 MP main camera.
Its price is 279 euros in its version with 8 GB of RAM and 256 GB of storage. An affordable amount, but let’s see what Amazon users are saying:
“Until recently I had not heard of this brand and it surprised me. The first thing is the 5000 mAh battery that, given normal use, can last two days without difficulty. The FHD + screen with 90 Hz refreshment moves with fluidity amazing, almost excessive. With 8+8 gigabytes of RAM and 256 gigabytes of storage, everything works quickly and very smoothly.”
Vivo 23 5G
For a higher level experience, there is the Vivo V23 5G with a price of 499 euros for the model with 12 GB of RAM and 256 GB of internal space. A fairly large RAM memory that will allow you to fully squeeze multitasking together with a Dimensity 920 processor prepared to run applications regardless of demand. We get a brilliant 90Hz AMOLED panel , as well as a 4,200mAh battery and a 50MP main camera that can shoot 4K resolution videos.
There is no doubt that there is an improvement in features, but it should be compared with other alternatives from brands like Xiaomi to see if it is worth it in terms of price. Likewise, users are clear about the device:
“For what I use it for (calls, social networks, searching for information, etc.) it’s great. The battery lasts me a day, more or less, although the charge is very, very fast.
If you are going to use it for tasks that require more processor, it may be a bit tight, but for me it works great.
The package includes everything you need (charger, clear protective case, and screen protector), which is nice seeing that other brands no longer include any accessories.”
Vivo X80 Pro
The top of the range of the Chinese brand is the Vivo X80 Pro. A premium mobile in every way that boasts a Super AMOLED screen with LTPO technology , 120 Hz rate and 2K resolution to view content with the highest quality. It is equipped with one of the most powerful Android processors at the moment and a quad camera configuration where a 50 MP main lens stands out with perfect results and an 8 MP periscope. In addition, its 4,700 mAh battery boasts 80W fast charging and 50W wireless.
The price of the Vivo X80 Pro 5G reaches 1,099 euros on Amazon , but it has a rating of almost 5 stars after 72 reviews. Let’s see what users say:
“I love the camera and the finish it has on materials feels very premium, the software is quite good, better than I expected, I recommend this great terminal.”
“Tremendous team, it heats up easily, but its performance is completely fluid, the screen is very good and despite the fact that other reviews affirm that the audio is its Achilles heel, I like the power of the audio. The capabilities of the camera easily allow it to be in the top 3 best cameraphones”.
