vivo's iQoo brand has built a reputation for delivering feature-packed smartphones, especially with the Neo series. The iQoo Neo9s Pro, released in May 2024, aims to push boundaries in performance, camera, and display quality. Let’s go over the key specs, pros, cons and price of the vivo iQoo Neo9s Pro. Key Features of vivo iQoo Neo9s Pro The main specs and features of the vivo iQoo Neo9s Pro are as follows: Design and Build Quality The Neo9s Pro offers a sleek, premium design with flat frames and slightly curved edges at the back, making it comfortable to hold. Its vegan leather finish not only enhances grip but also minimises fingerprint smudges—something the glass backs of the OnePlus 12R and iQoo Neo 8 Pro do not effectively address. Despite its lightweight build at 190g, the Neo9s Pro has a protruding camera module that can make it wobble on flat surfaces. It is IP54-rated for dust and splash resistance, providing some durability, though the competitor OnePlus 12R’s IP64 rating offers better protection. Compared to the Samsung Galaxy A34, the Neo9s Pro feels more modern and ergonomic. Read more: vivo iQOO Neo 8 Pro Review: Is it a value for money smartphone? Display Quality The Neo9s Pro's 6.78-inch LTPO AMOLED display features a 144Hz refresh rate, HDR10+ support, and a peak brightness of 1400 nits. Its vibrant colours, sharp resolution, and smooth animations delight gamers and media enthusiasts. With better brightness levels and adaptive refresh rate control, it outshines the Neo 8 Pro. While the OnePlus 12R offers a superior LTPO4 AMOLED panel with 4500 nits peak brightness, the Neo9s Pro delivers impressive performance for its price. On the other hand, the Samsung Galaxy A34, with its 120Hz Super AMOLED panel, feels a step behind in both brightness and responsiveness. The Neo9s Pro’s independent Supercomputing Chip Q1 enhances gaming visuals, making it ideal for competitive play. Camera Performance The iQoo Neo9s Pro has dual rear cameras: a 50MP (f/1.9) wide and a 50MP (f/2.0) ultrawide sensor. The primary sensor excels in low-light conditions, capturing sharp details and vibrant colours, outperforming the Neo 8 Pro and Samsung Galaxy A34. Neo9s Pro’s 8K video recording capability also gives it an edge over most competitors in this segment. Read more: Tecno Spark 30 Pro Review: Power-packed Performance at a Budget-friendly Price However, while the ultrawide camera is improved over the Neo 8 Pro, it still struggles with distortion at the edges compared to the OnePlus 12R’s 8MP ultrawide lens.  The Neo9s Pro’s 16MP (f/2.5) front camera delivers crisp selfies, but it is not significantly improved over other devices in its class. It can shoot a maximum of 1080p footage at 30fps. Processor Performance Powered by the Mediatek Dimensity 9300+ 4nm chipset, the Neo9s Pro delivers exceptional performance, outpacing the Neo 8 Pro’s Dimensity 9200+. Multitasking, app launches, and resource-heavy tasks feel snappy and seamless. When compared to the OnePlus 12R’s Snapdragon 8 Gen 2, the Neo9s Pro holds its own in everyday usage and gaming, though the Snapdragon offers slightly better efficiency during prolonged workloads. On the other hand, the Samsung Galaxy A34’s Dimensity 1080 lags significantly in performance, making the Neo9s Pro a clear winner for power users. Read more: Motorola Edge 50 Neo Review: Strong Contender in Mid-range Segment Gaming Performance The Neo9s Pro shines in gaming, thanks to features like Game Frame Interpolation and the Supercomputing Chip Q1. Popular titles like PUBG Mobile and Genshin Impact run smoothly with high frame rates, maintaining low latency even during extended sessions. Its enhanced heat dissipation system ensures consistent performance, a noticeable improvement over the Neo 8 Pro. Although the OnePlus 12R is a formidable competitor in gaming, the Neo9s Pro’s superior haptic feedback and 4D vibration elevate the experience. The Samsung Galaxy A34, however, struggles to deliver consistent performance in graphically demanding games. Battery Life The Neo9s Pro packs a 5160mAh battery that easily lasts a day of heavy usage. Its 120W fast charging sets it apart, reaching 40% in just 9 minutes—a significant advantage over the Neo 8 Pro’s slightly smaller 5000mAh battery.  While the OnePlus 12R’s 5500mAh battery provides similar endurance, its charging speed is capped at 100W, giving the Neo9s Pro the edge. The Samsung Galaxy A34 lags far behind with slower 25W charging and lower overall efficiency. Read more: Infinix Hot 50 Pro Review: A Budget-Friendly Powerhouse Furthermore, the vivo iQoo Neo9s Pro steps ahead of the OnePlus 12R and Samsung Galaxy A34 by its reverse wired charging facility. Certainly, it will be an advantage for the Neo9s Pro users. Software and User Interface Running Android 14 with OriginOS 4, the Neo9s Pro offers a customizable and feature-rich UI. While some may find the pre-installed third-party apps intrusive, the overall software experience is polished and user-friendly. It feels smoother and more responsive than the Neo 8 Pro and Samsung Galaxy A34, though it cannot quite match the minimalist elegance of OnePlus’ OxygenOS 15. Storage Options With storage options ranging from 256GB to a generous 1TB, the Neo9s Pro caters to a wide range of users, from casual consumers to power users. The RAM capacity ranges up to 16GB starting from 12GB. Paired with UFS 4.0 technology, file transfers, and app installations are lightning-fast. Read more: vivo V40 Lite Review: A Stylish Performer or Just Another Mid-Range Option? This flexibility sets it apart from the OnePlus 12R and Samsung Galaxy A34, which offer a maximum of 256GB of internal storage. With 8GB of the highest RAM power, the Samsung Galaxy A34 falls behind in this race. Heavy gamers and multimedia enthusiasts will appreciate the extra space and powerful RAM the Neo9s Pro offers. Pros and Cons of vivo iQoo Neo9s Pro Pros  - Sleek design with a comfortable vegan leather finish- Bright and vibrant 6.78-inch LTPO AMOLED display with 144Hz refresh rate- Powerful MediaTek Dimensity 9300+ chipset for smooth performance- Excellent gaming features like Game Frame Interpolation and 4D vibration- Long-lasting 5160mAh battery with ultra-fast 120W charging- Reverse charging option- Dual 50MP rear cameras with great low-light performance- Generous storage options, up to 1TB with UFS 4.0- Advanced heat dissipation for consistent performance- IP54-rated for basic water and dust resistance- Responsive and feature-rich Android 14-based OriginOS 4. Read more: Tecno Camon 30S Review: Budget-friendly Smartphone with Reliable Features Cons  - Ultrawide camera struggles with edge distortion.- Pre-installed third-party apps may annoy some users.- Camera bump causes wobbling on flat surfaces.- Lacks the minimalist UI experience of competitors like OnePlus.- No significant improvement in selfie camera compared to rivals. Price of vivo iQoo Neo9s Pro Neo9s Pro is unofficially available in Bangladesh. The 12/256GB variant costs around 53,000 to 55,000 Tk depending upon sellers. However, the official price of the vivo iQoo Neo9s Pro in Bangladesh may vary due to tax and other issues. Verdict The vivo iQoo Neo9s Pro excels in performance, display quality, and gaming features, making it ideal for gamers and multimedia enthusiasts. Its ultrawide camera and pre-installed bloatware are minor drawbacks. Buy it for flagship-level performance at a mid-range price.

The vivo V40 Lite has hit the market, joining the popular V Series lineup known for its sleek design, camera innovation, and reliable performance. Launched on July 14th, this latest addition stands out with its streamlined design that sets it apart from its predecessors. But does the vivo V40 Lite deliver on both style and substance? Let's go over its features, performance, and value to see if it's truly worth your attention. Key Specifications and Features of vivo V40 Lite . Design Two versions of vivo V40 Lite are available, each with subtle differences in shape and design. The first variation, offered in Titanium Silver, has a polished metallic finish. It maintains a 163.23 mm by 75.93 mm by 7.95 mm dimension and weighs 190 g. The second version is slightly slimmer, 163.23 mm by 75.93 mm by 7.79 mm, and lighter, weighing 188 g. vivo has placed two glasses, on the front and the back, to muffle the dissatisfaction raised by the plastic-built frames. On the rear, a diamond-shaped panel is used to place the lenses. The frontal lens, demanding the least attention, lurks in a punch hole. Aesthetically, the vivo V40 Lite is an ideal successor to its predecessors. The inherited design is enough to reveal its identity as a vivo creation. Surfacing essential buttons, ports, and trays just in place around the sides, the phone preserves a harmonized design. Read more: Tecno Camon 30S Review: Budget-friendly Smartphone with Reliable Features Display The vivo V40 Lite's display panel is a 6.67-inch AMOLED screen. Rounded at the corners, the plain screen effortlessly merges with the phone's thematic composition. Several high-end properties infused with the display only ensure a premiere user experience. For instance, the screen can reflect 1B colors on its 1080 by 2400 pixels surface with a 388 ppi density. Consequently, it produces crisp and vibrant pictures. Its 120Hz refresh rate asserts smooth scrolling and fast touch response. Upto 1300 nits achievable brightness level plays strong for the phone, revealing clear, detailed content even in a bright condition. It dissolves the innate struggle of an AMOLED panel under direct sunlight. Holistically, the display featured in the vivo V40 Lite is an average performer. Adding an HDR property would make it a great fit, raising the standard of the phone. Read more: Xiaomi Redmi Pad Pro Review: Features, Performance, and Value – Is It Worth the Buy? Performance and Hardware The vivo V40 Lite is powered by the Snapdragon® 685 4G processor, with 8 GB RAM and storage options of 128 GB or 256 GB (UFS 2.2), expandable up to 1 TB. It runs on Funtouch OS 14. However, the Snapdragon 685 feels dated, especially given its price, with competitors offering stronger chipsets like the OnePlus Nord CE 3’s Snapdragon 782G and the Realme Narzo 70 Pro’s Dimensity 7050. In performance, it handles daily tasks but isn’t built for high-demand gaming—PUBG caps at 40fps, and Call of Duty Mobile at 50fps, levels matched by budget models. Paired with Funtouch OS 14, occasional lags appear, making the experience passable for moderate users but uninspiring for power users. Read more: Top 9 Smartphones Releasing in November 2024: Must-have Models and Features Cameras The vivo V40 Lite showcases a well-rounded camera setup to enhance casual snapshots and creative captures. The rear camera pairs a 50 MP primary sensor with a 2 MP lens. Featuring f/1.8 aperture, the main sensor can capture well-lit images even in lower light, while the f/2.4 secondary lens adds nuanced depth to portraits. Videos are recorded in MP4 format, ensuring smooth playback and easy sharing. On the front, the 32 MP camera with an f/2.45 aperture captures clear, balanced selfies and smooth video calls, also supporting MP4 video. Vivo’s camera software elevates the experience, offering diverse features: the front camera includes Night, Portrait, and Live Photo modes, while the rear lens lineup broadens with 50 MP high-resolution mode, Panorama, Document, and Dual View. A rear Aura Light flash rounds out the setup, casting a soft glow for low-light shots and ensuring every capture looks polished and intentional.

When charged fully, the battery can run the phone for a whole day with moderate use. However, the robust 80W charger featured in the box takes only about an hour to charge the phone completely. So, keeping this super-fast charger near at hand, excessive use of the phone is quite possible. Pros and Cons of the vivo V40 Lite Pros - 5G and NFC support- FHD AMOLED display, 120Hz refresh rate- Android 14 with Funtouch 14 UI- IP64 dust/water resistance- 4K video recording- 5500mAh battery- 44W fast charging.

Read more: Vivo V40 Review: A Feature-Packed Premium Smartphone Conclusion The vivo V40 Lite comes with refined design elements and a lightweight feel. Its AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate brings vibrant visuals, though missing HDR support. While the Snapdragon 685 processor is suitable for casual use, it lacks the power of its competitors, making it less ideal for gaming or demanding tasks. The camera system covers a variety of modes, enhanced by an Aura Light flash for improved low-light shots. On the whole, with fast charging, dependable battery life, and a smart look, the V40 Lite can be a good contender among smartphones around the Tk 30,000 price range for users seeking style and function.

iQOO first emerged in the smartphone industry as a sub-brand of vivo. Under vivo, the brand brought industry-leading R&D capabilities and supply chains to new customers. The Z series from iQOO stands out as a high-budget option with significant performance capabilities. The latest in the lineup, the Z9x 5G was recently launched on 29th April 2024. Here’s a detailed take on the vivo Z9x 5G. Key Specifications of the vivo iQOO Z9x  Design and Build Quality The Z9x is a plastic-built smartphone all around. However, the sophistication of the design elements makes everything unique about the device. The frosted textured back (“planetary orbit” according to iQOO), the sunburst camera module, and the flat frames make for a stylish design. The dimension of the device comes in at 165.7 mm by 76 mm by 7.99 mm with 199 g weight. As a high-budget smartphone, the headphone jack and the card slot are on the Z9x. The power button doubles as the fingerprint scanner as the screen has no optical sensor. Read more: Xinji Nothing 3 Review: Amoled Smartwatch for 5000 Taka The porthole camera and the slight chin at the bottom of the display are streamlined with previous Z series smartphones. Needless to say, the design has adjusted enough to the changing landscape. The Z9x also boasts IP64 water and dust resistance for accidental splashes. The device is available in two colors, Mystic Black and Northern Green. The Display The display on the Z9x is a 6.72-inch IPS LCD panel with 120Hz high refresh rate and 1000 nits of peak brightness. The FHD+ panel has a resolution of 2408 by 1080 pixels with about 393 ppi density. The relatively smaller chin accounts for an 86.4% screen-to-body ratio. Additionally, the panel boasts about 83% NTSC color saturation. However, it does not support the DCI-P3 color gamut. Read more: Smart Plugs Buyers’ Guide, Price Ranges in Bangladesh in 2024 As a sub-25 K smartphone, the lack of an AMOLED display might be a deal breaker for some. But if you can overlook that, the color accuracy, viewing angles, and overall smoothness of the display are praiseworthy. The Camera There’s a dual camera setup on the Z9x. The main camera is a 50 MP, f/1.8, wide-angle shooter with a 1/1.95" sensor. The secondary sensor is a 2 MP f/2.4 depth sensor. The front camera is a generic 8 MP, f/2.1 sensor. In terms of performance, the Z9x holds up nicely for its price. The pictures taken in the daylight were well-detailed with decent exposure. One thing that stood out was the color vibrancy of the images. Regardless of the subject, the images tend to have a vibrant pop of color. At times, it might look and feel artificial, depending on the subject. Zooming on the images also shows over-sharpening issues at times, even with decent lighting. Read more: 7 Best Smartphones in Tk 35000-45000 Range in July 2024 As for nighttime images, the included night mode is the saving grace here. Pictures with the night mode came out well-exposed and detailed. However, the post-processing produces overall soft images to roll out the grains. As for the front camera, the portrait mode worked well thanks to the dedicated depth sensor. The maximum videography capacity on the iQOO Z9x phone’s rear and front cameras are rated at 4K and 1080P respectively. The gyro-EIS helps slightly to stabilize the footage. But you’ll probably need a dedicated gimbal for proper videography with this camera. Processor and Performance The processor on the Z9x is Qualcomm SM6450 Snapdragon 6 Gen 1 based on a 4 Nm architecture. The Gen series brought an overhaul in the naming convention, with more or less the same increment as before. The octa-core processor has a chip design of 4x2.2 GHz Cortex-A78 & 4x1.8 GHz Cortex-A55 with Adreno 710 GPU. Read more: Vivo Y28 4G Review: Is it a value-for-money smartphone? In terms of day-to-day use, the Z9x breezes past activities like browsing the web, watching videos, or scrolling social media. Games like PUBG were stable on the Smooth Extreme setup. There weren’t any frame drops unless there were deliberate high graphics usage moments in the game. Genshin Impact was also playable, but it had far more frame drops and jitters compared to PUBG. Highly optimized games like Asphalt 9 and COD ran without any issues. The device did, however, heat up quite a bit in each gaming session. But it didn’t affect the overall performance. Benchmark GeekBench 6: 933 (single core); 2799 (multi-core) Antutu 10: 580645 Software The iQOO Z9x runs on Funtouch OS 14, based on Android 14. Funtouch OS came a long way to becoming more optimized and streamlined with the stock Android experience. However, it still has its distinct features, like the app retainer, redesigned split-screen, and media locking. iQOO promises up to 50 months of smooth usage thanks to the newly optimized OS. Read more: OnePlus Nord CE 4 Lite 5G Review: Know the Pros and Cons Battery and Charge Time The vivo iQOO Z9x is powered by a large battery featuring 6000 mAh. It’s one of the largest in its class and can be easily topped up using the supported 44W wired charging system. Surprisingly, the Z9x also supports reverse charging, which isn’t all that common in this price range. Pros and Cons of the vivo iQOO Z9x Pros: - IPS LCD panel with 120 Hz high refresh rate- Capable dual camera system- 4K video recording capabilities- Audio jack and extendable micro SDXC- Snapdragon 6 Gen 1 processor- 6000 mAh battery with 44W wired charging- Side-mounted fingerprint scanner- IP64 water and dust resistance. Cons: - No ultrawide or zoom lens- No NFC support- Outdated UFS 2.2 storage system- No rated front glass protection. Read more: Top Home Electronics in Bangladesh for 2024: Simplify Your Life with These Smart Devices Price of the vivo iQOO Z9x  The iQOO Z9x is available in the 8/128 GB variant in India. The price is 16,630 INR (with a discount). It roughly translates to 23,348 BDT (1 INR = 1.40 BDT). Verdict The vivo iQOO Z9x, with its high refresh rate display, dual camera setup, and 5G capabilities, brings a lot to be hopeful about. Especially, its Snapdragon processor performs better than the similarly powered Helio options. On the other hand, minor shortcomings like the lack of a faster read-write speed are the only mentionable drawbacks of the device. On the whole, anyone looking for a solid daily driver with slight gaming capabilities at a budget price can easily pick up the vivo iQOO Z9x 5G.

Vivo recently announced their lower mid-range device Vivo Y28 4G for the Bangladeshi market. The device was on pre-booking from 4th to 9th July with official delivery starting on 10th July 2024. The Y28 brings an exciting new design among a host of other improvements. But is it enough to justify the price? Let’s find out.  Key Specs of Vivo Y28 4G   Design and Build Quality  The design of the Y28 is a complete overhaul of the traditional Y series. The device is made of plastic all around but the frosted composite plastic sheet on the back and the accented chromed frames give it a premium look. The rounded square camera housing and the ring light also add a premium feel to the device.  The dimension of the Y 28 comes in at 165.70 mm by 76.00 mm by 7.99 mm for the Agate Green variant and 165.70 mm by 76.00 mm by 8.09 mm for the Gleaming Orange option. The weight is clocked at 199 g.  Read more: Top Home Electronics in Bangladesh for 2024: Simplify Your Life with These Smart Devices Regarding ports and buttons, the Y28 includes all the essentials including the headphone jack and the micro SDXC slot. However, the lack of a secondary noise cancellation mic at this price point is disappointing.  The power button on the Y28 doubles as the fingerprint scanner. The device also has an IP64 water and dust rating for accidental splashes. The Display  The display on the Y28 is a 6.68-inch IPS LCD panel with a 90 Hz refresh rate and 1000 nits of peak brightness. It’s a surprising choice to go with an LCD panel especially when most alternatives at this price come with an AMOLED panel.  The display has a 1608 by 720 pixels resolution with 264 ppi density. The display has an 83% NTSC color saturation for a vibrant and crisp contrast. It’s also TUV Rheinland certified for Low Blue Light technology. Stepless Dimming and Global DC Dimming features are also for ease of use in low light conditions.  Read more: Tecno Camon 30 Pro Review: Style Meets Substance In terms of performance, the display looks okay. It has good colors, great viewing angles, and a high refresh rate. However, the lower resolution might be a deal breaker for many especially considering the price.  The Camera  There’s a dual camera setup on the Y28. The main camera is a 50 MP f/1.8 shooter and the secondary one is a 2 MP f/2.4 sensor. The front camera is an 8 MP f/2.05 shooter.  The camera system on the Y28 is the same as the Y27 with some lateral developments. The performance of the camera can be best described as a mixed-bag experience.  Pictures taken in daylight had a neutral tone to them. It's different from the usual mid-range cameras where there is a pop of color and social-media-ready processing. Instead, the pictures are more suited for those who like to edit their pictures. Portrait pictures came out well on the Y28. However, the background blue may feel a bit artificial at times. The front and back cameras showed a hint of red tint in the images.  Read more: Motorola Edge 50 Pro Review: A Competent Mid-Range Smartphone Night-time photography performed similarly. There were some exposure issues here and there. Other than that, the cameras produced decent results.  The videography on the Y28 is rated at 1080P at 30 fps. However, without any external stabilization, the videos are barely usable at best.  Processor and Performance  The processor on the Y28 is Helio G85 based on a 12 Nm architecture. The chip design consists of 2 x 2 GHz & 6 x 1.8 GHz processors. The G85 at this point is several years old and is more suited for a sub-15 K budget smartphone.  The RAM capacity ranges from 6 to 8 GB. Starting from 128GB the memory reaches up to 256GB featuring eMMC5.1 technology. The maximum limit of its expandable storage is 1TB. Read more: Oukitel RT8 Review: Rugged Tablet with Long Battery Life In terms of performance, the processor can handle day-to-day tasks pretty well. But the gaming isn’t really on par here. In the test, games like PUBG and Free Fire stuttered in the highest settings. Even with reduced graphics, there were frame drops here and there.  What we liked is the 300% surround sound stereo speakers. It performed pretty well even in near-highest volume settings without any distortions.  Benchmark  Antutu V9: 217448 PCMark: 11655Geekbench 5: 353 (single core); 1311 (multi-core). Software  The software on Y28 is the Funtouch OS 14 based on Android 14. Funtouch hasn’t changed any of its design language from last year with the same animations and bloatware. Some of the bloatware can be uninstalled after the initial setup which might be helpful for a more minimal look.  Read more: Xiaomi Civi 4 Pro Review: A Camera-focused Smartphone with Flagship-level Specs Battery and Charge Time  The battery on the Vivo Y28 is 6000 mAh.

The back panel has thermal sensitivity where it changes color in contact with sunlight.  The dimension of the device comes in at 163.17 mm by 75.81 mm by 7.79 mm (Crystal Black) and 163.17 mm by 75.81 mm by 7.95 mm (Breeze Green) for the two variants.

Like the ancestor V29 Lite, there is no headphone jack on V30 Lite.

Even among its competitors, the V30 Lite provides better results than the Samsung Galaxy A55 or Oppo Reno 11 F. The only device to edge over the V30 Lite at this price is the Xiaomi Redmi Note 13 Pro.  The Camera  There’s a dual camera setup on the vivo V30 Lite. The main sensor is a 50 MP f/1.8 with PDAF and the secondary sensor is a 2 MP f/2.4 depth sensor. The front features a generic 8 MP f/2.0 sensor.  From the spec alone, the V30 Lite falls short of its competitors as most devices at this price range come with a triple camera setup. The V29 Lite also had a triple camera setup with the main sensor being a 64 MP one.  Read more: Portable AC Buyer’s Guide for 2024: Everything You Need to Know But speaking of the actual performance, the V30 Lite produces on-par results. Pictures came out sharp with great contrast and neutral color in daylight. There was no forced color reproduction which the A55 or the Redmi Note 13 Pro suffers from. The quality was also similar in low light with better exposition in the dedicated night mode.  The depth sensor helps in taking great portrait shots. Users can tweak the bokeh effect after taking a shot which might be handy in different situations. The front camera also produced passable results with good details and dynamic range.  The videography on the vivo V30 Lite is limited to 1080P at 30 fps. It produced decent results using the included EIS feature.  Read more: Xinji Cobee CA1 Review: Waterproof Smartwatch to Monitor Health and Fitness Processor and Performance  The processor on the V30 Lite is the Snapdragon 685 based on a 6 Nm architecture. It is a point of contention given that all the competitors including the previous gen V29 Lite have a better processor.  The processor features an octa-core architecture with 4 × 2.8 GHz and 4 × 1.9 GHz locked clock speed. The Antutu score of the CPU comes in at 346350 and the Geekbench score is 473 (single-core) and 1510 (multi-score).  In terms of performance, the V30 Lite is a daily task smartphone at best. Gaming isn’t its forte as titles like PUBG and Genshin Impact were barely playable in moderate settings. There’s also the thermal issue with prolonged gaming.  Read more: Xiaomi Redmi Turbo 3 Review: A New Contender in Performance-oriented Smartphones Considering the price, the performance of the vivo V30 Lite isn’t all that great. Alternatives like Galaxy A55 (Exynos 1480), Redmi Note 13 Pro (7s Gen 2), and Reno 11 F (Dimensity 7050) all bring better performance in a similar price range.  Software  The V30 Lite is running Funtouch OS 14 based on Android 14. It has its fair share of bloatware but the overall user experience was moderate with fast navigation and app switching.  Battery and Charge Time  The battery on the vivo V30 Lite is 5000 mAh. The device comes with 80W FlashCharge which can take the device from 0 to 80% in 30 minutes. With moderate and casual use, expect to get around 6 to 7 hours of screen time from the device.  Read more: 7 Best Smartphones Being Released in May 2024 Pros and Cons of vivo V30 Lite  Pros  - AMOLED panel with 120 Hz refresh rate - 80W FlashCharge support - Decent main camera - IP54 dust and splash resistant - Color changing back - AG Fluorite protection - Comes with Android 14.   Cons  - Average Performance - Plastic frame design - No Gorilla glass protection on display- No reverse or wireless charging capacity- No optical zoom camera - No 4K video footage recordings support- No Gyro-EIS support- No MicroSD card slot- No audio jack- No 5G support - Outdated USB Type-C charging port.

The price of the V30 Lite is 32,999 BDT.  However, the price is subject to change.  Verdict  The V30 Lite can be best termed as a mixed-bag smartphone. It brings an interesting design with gimmicky features, great display, and great battery life. But at the same time, it grossly falls short in the performance department. If you’re looking for a more capable device in terms of performance and camera capabilities then the A55 and Redmi Note 13 Pro can be a better choice. Other than that, the vivo V30 Lite can be good for those looking for a stylish smartphone for casual use.  Read more: Motorola Moto G34 Review: A Budget-friendly 5G Phone with Powerful Processor

vivo’s sub-brand iQOO has hit the market with its latest model iQOO Z9. It was released on 12th March 2014 in India. For its reputation as a value-for-money smartphone provider, iQOO has made a lot of traction in the market. Is the newest model up to that par? Let’s find out the features, pros, cons and price of vivo iQOO Z9. Key Specs of vivo iQOO Z9 Design The iQOO Z9 boasts a 163.17 mm by 75.81 mm by 7.83 mm solid build, featuring IP54 dust, and water resistance. It weighs 188g. Its matte back panel and frame resist fingerprints, providing a comfortable, non-slippery grip. However, the flat sides may occasionally feel sharp against your palms.  The device comes in Brushed Green and Graphene Blue colours, with a distinctive feather-like pattern on the back. The rear camera module, housing two cameras and dual flash, sits on the top left, while the power button and volume rocker are on the right. At the bottom, you'll find the USB-C charging port, speaker, and SIM/SD card tray.  Read more: vivo iQOO 12 Review: Flagship Killer or a Flagship Itself? The front display offers slim bezels, except for a thicker chin. It features an in-display fingerprint sensor, though not the fastest in its price range. While the plastic build feels sturdy, competitors with vegan leather backs provide a more premium alternative. Display The iQOO Z9 swaps the compact design of its predecessor for a more traditional 6.67-inch AMOLED display with Full HD+ resolution featuring 2400 by 1080 pixels and 120 Hz refresh rate support. However, it disappointingly lacks 120 Hz scrolling in most apps, limiting the smooth experience of the UI.  Despite this hiccup, the display impresses with sharpness at 394 PPI, HDR support, and vibrant colours. HDR content on platforms like YouTube and Netflix looks crisp and vibrant, thanks to the deep blacks and enhanced contrast of the AMOLED panel.

Plus, the addition of dual stereo speakers elevates the audio experience, offering full sound with good bass and vocals, a significant improvement over its predecessor's single-speaker setup. Cameras The iQOO Z9 impresses with its camera performance, featuring a 50-megapixel (f/1.79) Sony IMX882 primary sensor with OIS. It has a 2 MP (f/2.4) Bokeh camera too.  While lacking an ultrawide shooter, the primary camera excels in capturing stunning photos in both daylight and low-light conditions. Daytime shots exhibit crisp details, natural colours, and a solid dynamic range comparable to higher-priced phones. The 2x zoom images maintain quality, and close-up shots boast a natural bokeh effect.  Read more: Nokia C32: Reliable Budget Smartphone for Everyday Use Under BDT 14,000 Portrait shots deliver close-to-natural skin tones, though edge detection could be improved. The option to capture full 50-megapixel shots retains dynamic range and enhances details. Low-light photography shines with minimal noise and polished results, despite some shadow detail loss.  The 16-megapixel (f/2.0) selfie camera performs decently in daylight but struggles in low light.  Additionally, the phone's rear sensor supports maximum of 4K @30fps video recording with stabilisation, adding versatility to its camera capabilities. While the front camera can capture 1080p videos at 30fps. Read more: Nothing Phone 2a Review: What’s New?

iQOO smartphones are known for their reliable performance at a marginal price. Their lineup is often dubbed as gaming on a budget. But the marginal price and the flagship killer tag come with certain corner cuts. But that all changed with their new release. iQOO launched the iQOO 12 on 14th November 2023. The device brings improvements in almost every sector compared to its predecessor. Now the question arises, is the vivo iQOO 12 a flagship killer or a proper flagship itself? Let’s find out.  Key Specs of the vivo iQOO 12   Design and Build Quality  It seems like iQOO has been inspired by OnePlus’s Never Settle philosophy when it comes to design. Gone are the rectangular camera housing which has been replaced with a rather square-ish round look. iQOO calls it the porthole design.  The build quality feels more sturdy thanks to the aluminum frame and glass back composition. The dimension of the iQOO 12 comes in at 163.22 mm by 75.88 mm by 8.10 mm (Alpha and Legend) or 8.35 mm (Desert Red). The weight of the device also differs as Alpha and Legend comes in at 203.7 g and the Desert Red comes in at 198.5 g. iQOO has partnered with BMW for the Legend variant. It adds a distinct dash of the M series colorways in a white AG Fluorite back.

The 12 with its updated looks and build quality seems to be on par with most flagships today. The Chinese variant even has IP64 water and dust resistance. However, it couldn’t be confirmed whether it’s the same for the global variant as well.  The Display  The display on the iQOO 12 is a 6.78-inch LTPO AMOLED 8T panel with 1B colors, 144Hz refresh rate, HDR10+, 1400 nits of HBM, and 3000 nits of peak brightness. The resolution of the panel comes in at 1260 by 2800 pixels at a 20:9 aspect ratio. It brings the pixel count to about 452 ppi.  One of the impressive things about the iQOO 12 is the ultra-slim symmetric bezel on all sides. It takes the screen real estate to 89.6% screen-to-body ratio.  Read more: Samsung Galaxy M55 Review: Here’s What It Offers The display also has a 2160 Hz PWM dimming mode for ease of usage in ultra-low light conditions. iQOO also incorporated an intelligent anti-fatigue brightness strategy and low blue light emission to relieve the stress on the eyes.  The overall experience with the host of features has been excellent. The display is fast, accurate, has great colors, and is simply a pleasure for content consumption.  The Camera  The camera on the iQOO 12 got a massive improvement over last year’s 11. There’s a new triple camera setup with the main sensor being a 50 MP f/1.7 23 mm wide angle lens with PDAF and OIS. There’s also a 64 MP f/2.6 70 mm periscope telephoto lens and a 50 MP f/2.0 119 degrees ultrawide lens.  There’s also a 16 MP f/2.5 selfie shooter on the front.  Read more: ZTE Nubia Red Magic 9 Pro Plus Review with Pros and Cons The flagship-grade sensors also provide impressive results. Pictures taken during the day had great contrast and sharpness to them with decent dynamic range. You might notice a slightly warm tone in a typical vivo fashion. Pictures taken at night were on par with daylight images thanks to the night mode. The front camera also took decent selfies. However it lacked details and sharpness compared to the main sensor.  The videography on the iQOO 12 is rated to be 8K at 30fps, 4K at 24/30/60fps, and 1080p at 30/60/120/240fps. Both the EIS and OIS do a great job of stabilizing and providing good-quality videos. The selfie shooter can capture only 1080p videos at 30fps.
