Vivo’s Y series is known for blending affordability with trendy features, especially for young users. The Vivo Y400 5G, launched on 28 July 2025, continues that legacy with a few key upgrades. Let's take a look at the key features, specifications, pros, cons, and pricing of the Vivo Y400 4G smartphone in Bangladesh. Key Features of Vivo Y400 4G . Design and Build Quality The Vivo Y400 4G offers an impressive design language for its price. With dimensions of 162.3 mm by 75.3 mm by 7.9 mm and a weight of around 196 g (Green) to 198 g (White), it feels sturdy and sleek in hand. The combination of a glass front and a plastic back wrapped in a plastic frame is standard in this price range, but Vivo has added flair with colour options like Pearl White, Tropical Green, and Purple Twilight.  The IP68/IP69 rating for water and dust resistance, along with MIL-STD-810H compliance, adds serious durability—a rare offering at this budget level. When compared to the Vivo Y300, the Y400 feels more refined. The Y300 has a similar design with a plastic body but comes with only IP64 splash resistance. The bump up to IP68/IP69 on the Y400 makes a noticeable difference for users worried about water damage.  Against the Samsung Galaxy M36, which has Gorilla Glass Victus+ protection and a glass back, the Vivo Y400 4G does feel less premium. Motorola’s G96, though lighter at 178 g and wrapped in eco-leather, wins points for aesthetics and grip but does not match the Y400’s rugged certification.

Colours are vivid, blacks are deep, and the screen is a pleasure for media consumption. The display-to-body ratio of 87.9% and ~395 ppi pixel density make for a crisp viewing experience. It shares its panel characteristics with the Vivo Y300, but there is a slight improvement in overall smoothness and brightness optimisation on the Y400. The Motorola G96 does outshine both with its P-OLED panel and 144Hz refresh rate, giving gamers and content consumers a buttery-smooth, punchier display.  The Samsung M36, featuring a Super AMOLED screen with Gorilla Glass Victus+ protection, holds up very well, though it maxes out at 120 Hz. While the Y400 4G may not offer the absolute best panel in its class, it competes head-to-head with more expensive rivals in display quality. Camera Performance The dual-camera setup on the Vivo Y400 4G includes a 50 MP wide primary lens and a 2 MP depth sensor. In daylight, it captures detailed shots with decent colour reproduction. The Ring-LED flash helps in dim settings, but low-light images suffer from noticeable noise and reduced sharpness. The 8MP selfie shooter is functional but lacks the sharpness and colour fidelity expected from front cameras today.  Read more: Apple iPhone 17 Series: Leaks, Rumours and Probable Release Date When compared to the Vivo Y300, the Y400’s main sensor seems to have downgraded slightly in sensor size, though results are comparable under good lighting. However, the Y300's 32MP selfie camera easily beats the Y400's 8MP in terms of sharpness and dynamic range.  The Samsung Galaxy M36 and Motorola G96 are in a different league. The M36 comes with OIS on its 50MP main sensor, plus an 8MP ultrawide, giving it better low-light and wide-angle versatility. Meanwhile, the G96’s 50 MP camera with OIS and a 32 MP selfie camera produce more stabilised and vibrant shots, even in challenging conditions. Processor Performance The Y400 4G is powered by the Snapdragon 685 chipset built on a 6nm process. With an octa-core CPU (4x2.8 GHz Cortex-A73 & 4x1.9 GHz Cortex-A53) and Adreno 610 GPU, it handles day-to-day tasks smoothly. Whether it is multitasking, browsing, or app switching, the phone feels responsive. UFS 2.2 storage also ensures faster read/write speeds, aiding performance. Compared to the Y300’s Snapdragon 4 Gen 2 (4 nm), the Y400's Snapdragon 685 is more power-efficient but slightly behind in raw performance—especially on tasks that require heavy GPU power. Samsung M36’s Exynos 1380 (5nm) with Cortex-A78 cores and Motorola G96’s Snapdragon 7s Gen 2 (4nm) with Adreno 710 both deliver stronger CPU/GPU performance, making them better options for performance-focused users. Read more: Vivo X200 FE Review: The Compact Champion Featuring Zeiss Cameras and a Massive Battery Gaming Performance For casual gaming, the Vivo Y400 4G holds up well. Games like PUBG Mobile, Free Fire, and Asphalt 9 run comfortably at medium settings. However, it struggles when pushed to high graphic modes, where frame drops and heating become apparent. The 120Hz display does help in smoother visuals, but the Adreno 610 GPU is not built for sustained high-end gaming. In comparison, the Vivo Y300 offers slightly better gaming performance due to the Adreno 613 GPU, and lower thermals help maintain consistency over longer sessions. The Galaxy M36 and Motorola G96 leave both behind—thanks to their more powerful GPUs (Mali-G68 MP5 in the M36 and Adreno 710 in the G96), offering higher frame rates and better thermal control during long gaming marathons.  Battery Life A standout feature of the Vivo Y400 4G is its massive 6000 mAh battery, one of the largest in its class. Combined with the power-efficient Snapdragon 685 and AMOLED display, it easily offers 1.5 to 2 days of battery life with moderate use. 44W wired charging fills the tank in about an hour, which is a decent speed for the size.  Comparing it to the Y300’s 5000 mAh battery with 80 W fast charging, you get faster charging but slightly less endurance. Samsung’s M36 offers a smaller 5000 mAh battery with just 25 W charging, falling behind both. Motorola G96 strikes a balance with 5500 mAh and 30 W charging, giving it good endurance but not quite as lasting as the Y400. Read more: Tecno Spark 40 Pro Review: Budget Brilliance or Just Another Buzz? Software and User Interface The phone runs on Android 15 with Funtouch OS 15, offering a clean, customisable, and feature-rich UI. Vivo has added useful tools like "Circle to Search", game mode optimisations, and smart split-screen functions. It is relatively bloat-free, although a few Vivo-native apps still come pre-installed.  Compared to the Y300's Funtouch OS 14, there is not a huge jump in UI experience, but minor optimisations make transitions and multitasking feel smoother. Samsung’s One UI 7 on the M36 is still arguably the best in terms of polish, animations, and long-term update promises (6 years). Motorola G96, though running near-stock Android 15, offers a smoother and bloat-free experience for purists, with Smart Connect 2.0 adding useful features. Storage Options The Vivo Y400 4G offers two storage variants: 128GB and 256GB, both with 8GB RAM and no SD card slot. It is enough for average users, and UFS 2.2 keeps data speeds quick. Vivo includes virtual RAM support, adding up to 8 GB of extended memory from internal storage. The Y300 has similar internal storage options but includes microSD support (shared), which some users may prefer. The Galaxy M36 also offers a microSD slot (shared) and comes with a 6GB RAM base variant, while the Motorola G96 drops microSD entirely, offering only fixed internal options. For those who prefer expandable storage, the Y400's lack of a card slot might be a drawback.  Read more: Best Smartphones Releasing in July 2025 Pros and Cons of Vivo Y400 4G .

It is not suited for photography enthusiasts or gamers seeking high-end performance. On the whole, it can be said that the Vivo Y400 4G would be a reliable choice for casual and everyday use. However, if you need 5G, expandable storage, or advanced camera features, you may look for other options. 

Vivo has carved a name in the premium smartphone world with its innovative X series, known for flagship-grade cameras and sleek designs. The latest addition, the Vivo X200 FE, launched on 5 July 2025, continues this tradition with a powerful compact package built for performance lovers. Let's take a look at the main features, specifications, pros, cons and pricing of the Vivo X200 FE in Bangladesh. Key Features & Specs of vivo X200 FE . Design and Build Quality The Vivo X200 FE is a compact flagship that does not skimp on premium aesthetics or durability. With a sleek aluminium frame sandwiched between a glass front and back, it measures just 150.8 mm tall and weighs 186 g, perfect for one-handed use.  Its IP68/IP69 rating for dust and water resistance is a rare bonus at this size, even rivalling the rugged capabilities of Sharp Aquos R8s (which is MIL-STD-810G compliant) and exceeding the Motorola Razr 2025’s IP48 protection. While the Razr has a unique folding design and eco-leather finish, the X200 FE feels more solid and less gimmicky.  Compared to its bigger sibling, the Vivo X200, which is slightly larger and heavier (197–202 g), the X200 FE appeals to users seeking portability without compromising on materials. The colour options—Luxe Grey, Frost Blue, Amber Yellow, and Pink Vibe—add flair for those who care about visual appeal. Read more: Tecno Spark 40 Pro Review: Budget Brilliance or Just Another Buzz? Display Quality The Vivo X200 FE packs a stunning 6.31‑inch LTPO AMOLED display with 1B colours, a 120 Hz refresh rate, 2160 Hz PWM dimming, HDR10+ support, and an incredible peak brightness of 5,000 nits. The visuals are vibrant and sharp (at 1216×2640 resolution, ~461 ppi) and remain clear even under intense sunlight.  In comparison, the standard Vivo X200 features a slightly larger 6.67‑inch AMOLED display with a similar 2160 Hz PWM and HDR10+, but peaks at 4,500 nits. While both are excellent, the FE’s brightness makes it unbeatable outdoors. The Sharp Aquos R8s uses a PRO IGZO LTPO OLED panel with Dolby Vision support, but it peaks at just 1,300 nits, making it look dim beside the X200 FE in bright conditions. The Motorola Razr 2025’s foldable LTPO AMOLED screen is large (6.9″) and visually rich but peaks at 3,000 nits and feels more fragile due to the folding mechanism.  The X200 FE’s flat panel with Schott Xensation glass offers the best balance between performance, durability, and comfort for compact flagship seekers. Read more: Best Smartphones Releasing in July 2025 Camera Performance Vivo continues its imaging legacy with a powerful triple rear setup on the X200 FE: a 50 MP wide lens, a 50 MP periscope telephoto with 3x optical zoom, and an 8 MP ultrawide lens. Zeiss optics, laser autofocus, and Zeiss T* coating bring professional-level clarity and flare control. In daylight, shots are crisp, and the 50 MP selfie cam is a dream for content creators. Low-light performance is respectable, though the 8 MP ultrawide shows some soft edges and noise. Compared to the Vivo X200, which carries a superior 50 MP ultrawide camera with autofocus and a more advanced main sensor with OIS, the FE falls slightly short in diversity and sensor depth. However, the FE still outperforms competitors like the Motorola Razr 2025 and Sharp Aquos R8s. The Razr’s dual-camera setup lacks the FE’s periscope lens and struggles in low light, while the Sharp’s 13 MP ultrawide feels outdated and delivers middling detail. In video, the X200 FE records in 4K at 60 fps with HDR and gyro‑EIS, ensuring steady and vibrant footage—on par with most 2025 flagships. The Razr also shoots 4K, but the output lacks the vivid contrast and dynamic range Vivo's Zeiss partnership brings to the table. Processor Performance Under the hood, the Vivo X200 FE is powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 9300+ (4 nm), built for flagship-level multitasking and speed. It boasts an octa-core CPU with a high-performance 3.4 GHz Cortex-X4 core and Immortalis-G720 MC12 GPU. While it is slightly less powerful on paper than the Vivo X200’s Dimensity 9400 (3 nm) and Immortalis-G925 GPU, the FE still performs fluidly across all tasks. Read more: vivo T4 Ultra Review: A Game-Changing Mid-range Flagship In daily usage, you will barely notice the difference unless benchmarking is your thing. Compared to the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chip in the Sharp Aquos R8s, the Dimensity 9300+ is more energy-efficient and slightly faster in AI and multitasking tasks. Meanwhile, the Motorola Razr 2025's Dimensity 7400X, paired with a Mali-G615 GPU, feels a step behind in both general responsiveness and heavy app loads. For users who prioritise consistent flagship-grade speed without thermal throttling, the X200 FE remains ahead of both competitors. Gaming Performance Gaming on the Vivo X200 FE is a smooth affair. The combination of a powerful GPU, 12–16 GB RAM, and a high-refresh-rate AMOLED screen ensures a top-tier experience in games like Genshin Impact, PUBG, or Call of Duty Mobile. Thermal performance is well-controlled, though there’s minor warmth after extended play or fast charging sessions. The Razr 2025, with its weaker GPU and foldable screen, is not built with hardcore gaming in mind. It struggles to maintain stable frame rates in graphically intensive titles. The Aquos R8s, though built on a Snapdragon 8 Gen 2, does not have a gaming-optimised cooling system and tends to throttle over long periods.  Here, the X200 FE, despite lacking the ultra-performance edge of the X200’s Dimensity 9400, still delivers a far more reliable gaming experience than its similarly priced rivals. Read more: Infinix GT 30 Pro Review: Best Budget Gaming Phone with Flagship Features in 2025 Battery Life One of the standout features of the Vivo X200 FE is its massive 6,500 mAh battery (outside Austria and Hungary). It is rare to see this capacity in such a compact phone. In real-world use, this means 1.5 to 2 days of battery life for moderate users and a full day for power users with heavy media consumption. When you do run low, 90 W fast charging refills the phone to 100% in just under 60 minutes. By contrast, the Vivo X200 offers a smaller 5,800 mAh battery and similar 90 W charging speed—but drains quicker due to its larger display and more powerful processor. The Sharp Aquos R8s is limited by a 4,750 mAh battery and slow 15 W charging—totally outdated by 2025 standards.  The Motorola Razr 2025 also disappoints with a 4,500 mAh battery and 30 W charging (though it adds 15 W wireless support), but it cannot compete with the endurance the X200 FE delivers. Overall, the FE’s battery life is unmatched in this size class. Software and User Interface Running Android 15 with Funtouch OS 15, the Vivo X200 FE promises four major Android upgrades, keeping it future-proof until Android 19. Funtouch 15 is now lighter, more customisable, and smoother than previous versions, with fewer bloatware issues and cleaner UI animations. Features like RAM expansion, always-on display, and advanced camera controls are polished and useful. Read more: Basic to Flagship: Top 5 Official Smartphones Released in Bangladesh in 2025 Compared to OriginOS on Chinese models of the X200, Funtouch is more user-friendly globally. The Motorola Razr 2025 runs near-stock Android 15, which some may prefer for its simplicity, though it lacks the smart features and customisation Vivo offers. Sharp Aquos R8s still runs Android 13, and software updates remain a weak point for Sharp’s phones—putting it behind both Vivo and Motorola. Storage Options The X200 FE offers up to 512 GB storage with 12 or 16 GB of LPDDR5X RAM and UFS 3.1 speeds. While UFS 4.0 would have been preferable (as used in the X200 and Aquos R8s), real-world speed differences are minimal unless you are moving massive files frequently. There is no microSD support—same as its competitors—but the high base storage helps offset that. The Vivo X200 leads slightly with up to 1 TB storage and faster UFS 4.0, appealing to content hoarders and power users. Motorola Razr 2025, on the other hand, offers just 256 GB UFS 2.2—noticeably slower and more limiting. The Sharp Aquos R8s supports expandable storage via microSDXC, which is handy but can’t match the speed and integration of internal UFS storage.  Pros and Cons of vivo X200 FE Pros - Premium aluminum frame with IP68/IP69 rating- Compact 6.31-inch LTPO AMOLED display, 120 Hz refresh- Sharp and detailed triple rear camera with Zeiss optics- High-res 50 MP front selfie camera- Stereo speakers for rich audio- Infrared port and NFC included- Massive 6500 mAh battery with fast 90 W charging- Smooth performance with Dimensity 9300+ chipset- Bright 5000-nit screen, great for outdoor use- Up to 16GB RAM and 512GB storage. Read more: Xiaomi Redmi Turbo 4 Pro Review: Can It Survive the Competition? Cons - No FM radio feature- No 3.5mm headphone jack- USB-C is still version 2.0- The ultrawide camera is only 8 MP and lacks autofocus- No wireless charging support Price of vivo X200 FE The Vivo X200 FE is priced at approximately BDT 87,000 in Bangladesh. Verdict The Vivo X200 FE is perfect for users seeking a compact phone with flagship cameras, long battery life, and a stunning display. However, those needing wireless charging, a headphone jack, or a powerful ultrawide camera should consider alternatives. It is a premium pick for on-the-go power users and content creators.

The inventive smartphone brand Vivo launched the vivo T4 Ultra, a midrange flagship, on June 11, 2025, in India. Packed with high-end features, the uniquely designed phone is an instant head-turner. The phone extends the reputation of Vivo’s T-series models, coming as one of the most well-rounded products from its manufacturer. Here is a detailed feature-by-feature description of the vivo T4 Ultra with an effort to delve deeper into its configuration, performance, pros, cons and pricing in Bangladesh. Key Specs and Features of the Vivo T4 Ultra The vivo T4 Ultra, drawing forth the efficiency granted by its robust processor and other compatible chipsets and features, seeks to cater to the demands of power users. Since the Pixel 7 Pro, the Galaxy S24 FE 5G, and the iQOO Neo 10, the T4 Ultra are remarkable additions to the higher mid-segment. Design The vivo T4 Ultra measures 6.32 inches by 2.95 inches by 0.30 inches dimensionally, coming a few mm shorter than the Galaxy S24 FE 5G and the iQOO Neo 10. Available in two colour variants, each with discernible design patterns: Phoenix Gold with a glittering back and Meteor Grey with a solid, minimal back design. The rear panel of the Phoenix Gold variant is styled with a feather pattern that shimmers dynamically when light is projected from different angles. The Meteor Grey, on the other hand, has a flat, polished rear surface that glows under light with a soft gleam. Read more: Infinix GT 30 Pro Review: Best Budget Gaming Phone with Flagship Features in 2025 The rear camera panel is a giant vertical ellipse, which may remind you of a vintage wall clock. A circular cutout at the top of the ellipse houses two primary lenses. There is another lens placed below the circle. Near the bottom of the ellipse, a ring flashlight is placed. The fingerprint sensor is in-display, located near the bottom. Users will find all the essential buttons and ports, apart from a 3.5mm audio jack, around the phone's sides. Display The vivo T4 Ultra uses a 6.67-inch AMOLED display, which is the current market norm for higher-mid-range smartphones. The pixels on the display are balancedly distributed, keeping a resolution of 1260 x 2800 pixels and a density of 460 ppi. Its peak brightness level of 5000 nits distinguishes it from the other choices. The display is highly touch-responsive at a 120 Hz refresh rate and gives precision when controlling motion graphics. Apart from the linear punch-hole cutout on the top, the screen extends throughout the front surface. The bezel and chin around the screen are maintained to the minimum extent, allowing for a spacious visual window. Rendered graphics look crisp and bright equally under direct or low lights with adjusted brightness. Read more: Basic to Flagship: Top 5 Official Smartphones Released in Bangladesh in 2025 Camera The vivo T4 Ultra sports a 50MP primary camera setup. Its powerful 50MP periscope lens sets the new standard for phones at this price, going beyond the Google Pixel 7’s 48MP periscope shooter. The setup also includes an 8MP ultrawide lens that helps capture panoramic shots, sprinkling balance all over. It’s a clear upgrade over the iQOO Neo 10’s simple 50MP wide and 8MP ultrawide camera module. The vivo T4 Ultra offers a 32MP wide secondary lens for selfie lovers. Photography with the phone is set for a good experience with features like 3X zoom, AI enhancements, OIS support, and detailed macro images. This makes it the only option available to confront the camera-centric Pixel 7’s renown. All lenses perform noticeably better in daylight and brighter settings. Darkness nudges down the usual sharpness from the images and smoothens the overall features to fill in missing details.  Read more: Xiaomi Redmi Turbo 4 Pro Review: Can It Survive the Competition? Hardware and Software The Vivo T4 Ultra outperforms the Galaxy S24 FE 5G and the Pixel 7 Pro, as the latter two are based on older chips. With T4 Ultra, you will get a last-generation 4nm Dimensity 9300+ chipset, which accompanies an Immortalis-G720 MC12 GPU and up to 12GB of RAM. Combined, these features contribute to outstanding performance. Playing graphically demanding games like Genshin Impact and PUBG will feel effortless without putting you through lag or slow movements. The phone, though, falls short of reaching the level of performance delivered by the iQOO Neo 10 with its Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 and up to 16GB RAM. The Vivo T4 Ultra runs on Funtouch 15, the native customized operating system built on the stock Android 15. The Funtouch OS is popular for letting users personalize their phone’s navigational outlines, empowering ease of use and better appearance. There are a few promotional bloatware programs that are uninstallable on wish. Battery and Charger The phone presents a 5500 mAh Silicon-Carbon battery, which is already a great leap forward compared to the Pixel 7 Pro’s 5000 mAh and Galaxy S23 FE 5G’s Lithium-Ion cells. However, considering the high energy-consuming features and the current market trend, a 7000 mAh battery would be more appreciable for the phone, just as we have seen in the iQOO Neo 10. To compensate for fast power drainage during heavy gaming sessions, users will get a 90W wired charger that takes only 48 minutes to replenish the battery. A reverse charging facility is also included. Read more: vivo iQoo Z10 Turbo Review: Is It the Mid-Range Beast You Are Looking For? Price of vivo T4 Ultra in Bangladesh The vivo T4 Ultra is still not available in Bangladesh. Multiple variants of the phone are available in India, starting from (8/256 GB) INR 37,999 or BDT 53,590.

The vivo iQOO Z10 Turbo, launched on April 28, 2025, is the latest addition to vivo's mid-range lineup. Packed with impressive features, this device aims to deliver top-tier performance without breaking the bank. Let's look at the camera, processor, display, battery, gaming performance, and pricing of the iQOO Z10 Turbo in Bangladesh. key Features of vivo iQoo Z10 Turbo . Design and Build Quality The vivo iQOO Z10 Turbo showcases a modern design with a glass front and a plastic back, housed within a sturdy plastic frame. With dimensions of 163.7 x 75.9 x 8.1 mm and weighing 212g, it has a solid feel in hand, exuding a balance between durability and elegance. This phone is available in four colour options: black, white, orange, and gold. It supports IP65 certification, making it resistant to dust and water jets—something that sets it apart from the iQOO Z9 Turbo's slightly inferior IP64 rating.  Compared to the vivo T4, which is MIL-STD-810H compliant, the Z10 Turbo does not aim for rugged use but still promises decent protection in everyday conditions. Honor Power, although having a sleek and compact form factor, only offers manufacturer-rated water resistance (up to 50cm for 1 min), making the Z10 Turbo a more reliable option for durability under various environmental conditions. Read more: Motorola Edge 60 Pro Review: Know the Pros and Cons Display Quality  The Z10 Turbo’s 6.78-inch AMOLED display is a treat for visual enthusiasts. Thanks to its 1260 by 2800 resolution and ~453 PPI pixel density, the display delivers exceptionally sharp and clear visuals. It supports 1B colours, HDR, and a blazing 144Hz refresh rate, offering smooth transitions and vibrant visuals.  What is truly impressive is the iQOO Z10 Turbo’s 4400 nits peak brightness—just a notch below the Z9 Turbo’s remarkable 4500 nits and well behind the T4’s class-leading 5000 nits peak under specific HDR conditions. Honor Power’s 4000 nits peak display is solid, but it still does not outshine the competition. Combined with an always-on display and AMOLED technology, the Z10 Turbo offers deep blacks, vibrant colours, and an excellent viewing experience in daily use and multimedia playback.  Camera Performance The iQOO Z10 Turbo’s camera setup includes a dual system with a 50 MP primary sensor (f/1.8, 1/1.95", PDAF, OIS) and a 2 MP (f/2.4) depth sensor with HDR and panorama. This setup excels at producing sharp and colour-accurate photos, especially in daylight. Thanks to OIS and gyro-EIS, video stability is excellent, supporting 4K recording on the main (rear) sensor that maintains crisp detail.  Read more: OnePlus Nord 5: What We Know So Far In comparison, the iQOO Z9 Turbo sports a similar primary sensor but adds an 8 MP (f/2.2) ultrawide camera with HDR and panorama, providing more versatility, especially for landscape and group shots. The T4 mirrors the Z10 Turbo’s rear camera setup, while its 32MP selfie shooter with 4K video shooting capacity outperforms the Z10 Turbo’s 16MP (f/2.5) front sensor that can shoot a maximum of 1080p footage.  Honor Power also features a 50MP camera, but with a slightly larger sensor (1.56") and a 5MP ultrawide lens, offering slightly more flexibility. However, Z10 Turbo pulls ahead with a superior colour spectrum sensor and faster processing for better low-light performance.  Processor Performance  At the core of the Z10 Turbo lies the MediaTek Dimensity 8400 chipset, a 4nm octa-core processor that combines Cortex-A725 cores at up to 3.25 GHz and a G720 MC7 GPU. This architecture delivers fast, efficient performance suitable for power users. Benchmarks and real-world testing reveal that it rivals the Qualcomm SM8635 Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 in the iQOO Z9 Turbo, which is also built on a 4nm process but boasts a slightly higher-performing CPU/GPU combination (Cortex-X4 and Adreno 735).  Read more: Best 10 Smartphones Releasing in May 2025 However, the Z10 Turbo holds its ground well, especially in sustained tasks. Compared to the Qualcomm SM7635 Snapdragon 7s Gen 3 in the vivo T4 and the Qualcomm SM7550-AB Snapdragon 7 Gen 3 in Honor Power, the Dimensity 8400 easily outclasses both in multitasking, app launches, and raw processing power, making the Z10 Turbo an all-rounder in performance. Gaming Performance Gaming on the Z10 Turbo is smooth and responsive, powered by the Dimensity 8400 chipset and Mali-G720 MC7 GPU. Heavy games like Genshin Impact and Call of Duty: Mobile run smoothly on high settings, with minimal frame drops. The 144Hz display complements this feature by providing fluid gameplay.  Compared to the iQOO Z9 Turbo, which uses the more gaming-optimised Adreno 735 GPU, the experience is neck and neck, though the Z9 Turbo might have a slight advantage in ultra-high-end gaming. The vivo T4, limited by its Adreno 710 GPU (940 MHz) and lower peak brightness, lags behind in delivering consistent gaming performance.  Read more: vivo V50 Lite Review: Does it offer value-for-money Honor Power fares decently with the Adreno 720 GPU but lacks the refresh rate and processing fluidity offered by the Z10 Turbo. Thermal management on the Z10 Turbo is also commendable, with the phone staying cool during extended sessions. Battery Life  With its large 7620mAh Si/C Li-Ion battery, the Z10 Turbo offers excellent battery life that easily lasts beyond a full day for most users. It supports 90W fast charging, which powers the device to 100% in just 55 minutes, plus reverse wired charging support. This large battery capacity is a standout feature in its price range. In comparison, the iQOO Z9 Turbo features a 6000 mAh cell with 80W charging and 7.5W reverse charging, which is fast but can not match the endurance of the Z10 Turbo. The vivo T4 has a 7300mAh (50% in 33 minutes) battery with similar charging capabilities (90W), 55W PPS, 44W UFCS, 7.5W reverse wired charging, and bypass charging. But despite having a huge battery, the T4’s real-world battery life is marginally shorter due to its less efficient processor.  Read more: Tecno Camon 40 Pro Review: Is It Worth It? Honor Power wins on sheer capacity with its 8000mAh battery but only offers 66W wired and 5W reverse wired charging, resulting in longer top-up times. Overall, the Z10 Turbo strikes an excellent balance between capacity and charging speed. Software and User Interface Running on Android 15 with OriginOS 5, the Z10 Turbo offers a fluid, customisable, and feature-rich experience. OriginOS brings several enhancements, including smoother animations, better widget functionality, and smarter battery management. It is notably snappier and more intuitive than Android 14 OriginOS 4 found on the Z9 Turbo.  Compared to vivo T4’s Android 15 Funtouch 15, OriginOS feels more refined and less bloated, though both offer two major Android upgrades. Honor Power’s Android 15 MagicOS 9, although clean and smooth, does not match the level of optimisation and customisation flexibility provided by vivo’s software skin. Features like Always-On Display, Circle to Search, and performance tweaks make the Z10 Turbo a joy to use daily.

Storage Options The Z10 Turbo comes in multiple configurations: 256GB/12GB RAM, 256GB/16GB RAM, 512GB/12GB RAM, and 512GB/16GB RAM. All variants use the blazing-fast UFS 4.1 standard, which ensures quicker app loading times, faster file transfers, and improved multitasking. This feature gives it a considerable edge over the iQOO Z9 Turbo’s UFS 4.0 storage, which, while fast, does not quite match the latest iteration. However, provision of a 1TB storage option could make the Z10 Turbo a better deal. The vivo T4, with UFS 2.2 (128GB 8GB RAM, 256GB 8GB RAM, and 256GB 12GB RAM) storage, clearly lags behind in speed and efficiency, making it less ideal for power users. Honor Power also misses out here, with no confirmed UFS 4.1 support, although its configurations are decent for the price. Lack of a microSD slot may be a downside for some, but with such generous internal storage, most users will not feel the pinch.  Pros and Cons of vivo iQoo Z10 Turbo . Pros  - Large 6.78-inch AMOLED display with 144Hz refresh rate- Powerful Dimensity 8400 chipset- Comes with 12GB or 16GB RAM options- Stereo speakers for better sound quality- NFC and Infrared port included- In-display optical fingerprint sensor- Massive 7620 mAh battery- 90W fast charging support- Gyro-EIS, OIS support.

However, it lacks IP68 protection and a versatile camera setup. It is ideal for gamers and power users wanting performance on a budget. Not recommended for those needing top-tier camera features or a headphone jack.  Read more: Best 10 Smartphones Releasing in April 2025

The Chinese smartphone company vivo has unveiled the vivo V50 Lite in Bangladesh. The phone officially became available for sale on April 24, 2025, in Bangladesh. Offering a few robust features at a budget-friendly to lower midrange price, the phone has created hype among smartphone lovers. Here is a detailed review that highlights the key features, competitive value, pros, cons, and pricing of the vivo V50 Lite.  Key Features of vivo V50 Lite In its price segment, the vivo V50 Lite confronts several phones like the Xiaomi Poco X7, vivo iQOO Z10, and TECNO CAMON 40 Pro. Let’s find out how the V50 Lite plays out among its competitors. Design The vivo V50 Lite looks sleek and stylish and has a height of 6.45 inches, a width of 3 inches, and a depth of 0.31 inches. Its mainframe is plastic-made with a glossy finish around the edges and a frosted texture on the back panel. Users expecting a metal body may feel disheartened, but it’s common for most brands to use a plastic body for their mid-range models. Devices like the TECNO CAMON 40, Xiaomi Poco X7, and vivo iQOO Z10 serve as clear examples of this industry trend. Weighing 197g, the vivo V50 Lite appears a bit heavier than the Tecno Camon 40 Pro (179g) and the Xiaomi POCO X7 (up to 190g).  Read more: Tecno Camon 40 Pro Review: Is It Worth It? The linear camera panel, placed in the rear panel’s top left corner, resembles an exclamation mark. The panel is made of three vertically placed cutouts allotted for a primary camera, a depth sensor, and a flashlight. On the front, the display has a punch-hole camera cutout on its top and an in-display fingerprint sensor on the bottom area. The flat display spreads across the front, leaving little room for the bezels and chin. Around the sides of the vivo V50 Lite, keeping a symmetrical balance in their positions, sit a microphone, active noise cancellation systems, volume rockers, and a SIM tray. Marking the second disappointment, the phone doesn’t offer an audio jack. For a phone coming at a budget-friendly to lower midrange price, the vivo V50 Lite has nothing unusual about its design. Its camera panel caters to users who love a vertically placed camera module, while phones like the vivo iQOO Z10 and Xiaomi Poco X7 offer circular panels. The V50 Lite provides IP65 dust and water resistance and is compliant with MIL-STD-810H. That means it can survive mild water jets and occasional hand drops.  Read more: Infinix Note 50 Pro Plus Review: Is it a value-for-money midrange smartphone? Display The phone’s display is a 6.77-inch AMOLED screen with a Full HD+ resolution. Featuring a 120Hz refresh rate and a brightness range of 1300 nits to 1800 nits, the display responds fast to the touch and remains visible in direct sunlight. With a 1080 x 2392 pixel distribution and 388 ppi density, it can render vivid and colour-accurate graphics. Among vivo V50’s competitors, none offer a better display, but the vivo iQOO Z10 has the highest brightness level of 5000 nits, the Xiaomi Poco X7 stands out with the highest resolution of 1220 x 2712 pixels, and the Tecno Camon 40 Pro responds the fastest at a 144Hz refresh rate. Cameras The vivo V50 Lite’s photography features consist of two rear cameras and one front camera, keeping it simple yet not insufficient. The vertical rear camera module houses a 50MP (f/1.8) wide lens and a 2MP (f/2.2) depth sensor. It lacks an ultrawide lens, most expected at this budget, damaging the phone’s overall customer acceptance. The front camera is a 32MP (f/2.5) wide lens. Read more: vivo iQoo Neo 10R Review: What’s new? All the cameras work fine at capturing photos, regardless of the time of day.

The one with 8GB RAM and 128GB storage options is priced at BDT 29,999, while the other with 8GB RAM and 256GB storage options is priced at BDT 32,999. Conclusion The vivo V50 Lite stands out with its vibrant 120Hz AMOLED display, massive 6500 mAh battery with 90W fast charging, and clean Android 15 experience. Though it lacks features like ultrawide cameras, 4K video recording capacity, 512 GB and 1 TB storage options, and wireless charging, its performance, design, and endurance make it a compelling choice for everyday use within 30000 to 32000 TK price ranges.

vivo's sub-brand iQoo has been known for delivering performance-driven smartphones under its Neo series. The latest addition, the iQoo Neo 10R, was officially released on March 19, 2025. In this review, we will explore its camera, processor, display, battery life, and gaming performance to see how it stacks up against its predecessors and competitors.  Features of vivo iQoo Neo 10R . Design and Build Quality The vivo iQoo Neo 10R boasts a sleek design, featuring a glass front shielded by Schott Xensation Up, complemented by a plastic back and frame. This combination offers a lightweight feel, weighing 196 grams and measuring 163.7 x 75.9 x 8 mm. The device comes in two colour options: Raging Blue and Moon Knight Titanium. Notably, it boasts an IP65 rating, providing dust and water resistance, which adds to its durability. ​ In comparison, the iQoo Neo 10 maintains similar design specs but lacks the IP65 rating, making the iQoo Neo 10R more resilient against environmental factors. The Honor GT also offers an IP65 rating but opts for a more compact form factor, measuring 161 x 74.2 x 7.7 mm and weighing 196 grams. Meanwhile, the realme 13 Pro+ emphasises a premium feel with its glass back and Gorilla Glass 7i protection on the front, with an IP65 rating, like the Neo 10R.  Read more: Best 10 Smartphones Releasing in April 2025 Display Quality The iQoo Neo 10R features a 6.78-inch AMOLED display with a resolution of 1260 x 2800 pixels (~452 ppi density) and supports 1 billion colours. It supports a 144Hz refresh rate and HDR10+, ensuring vibrant colours and smooth visuals. The display's peak brightness reaches up to 4500 nits, making it easily viewable even under direct sunlight. Additionally, the always-on display feature adds convenience for quick glances at notifications. ​ Comparatively, the iQoo Neo 10 offers a similar 6.78-inch LTPO AMOLED display with a 144Hz refresh rate but with the same peak brightness of 4500 nits. The Honor GT sports a 6.7-inch AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate and a peak brightness of 4000 nits, making it slightly dimmer compared to the 10R. On the other hand, the rival realme 13 Pro+ comes with a 6.7-inch AMOLED display, 120Hz refresh rate, and a peak brightness of 2000 nits, making it the least bright among the competitors.​ Camera Performance The iQoo Neo 10R sports a dual-camera setup on the rear: a 50 MP primary sensor with an f/1.8 aperture, Optical Image Stabilisation (OIS), and an 8 MP ultrawide lens with an f/2.2 aperture. This combination delivers sharp and detailed images in well-lit conditions, with the OIS aiding in low-light scenarios to reduce blur.  Read more: itel Power 70 Review: Another budget-friendly gem The ultrawide lens, while useful for capturing expansive scenes, may exhibit some distortion at the edges. The device supports 4K video recording at 30/60 fps, ensuring high-quality video capture with OIS and gyro-EIS. The front-facing 32 MP camera with an f/2.5 aperture captures detailed selfies and also supports 4K video recording, catering well to vloggers and video callers.  In contrast, the iQoo Neo 10 features a similar dual-camera setup but with a slightly larger sensor size in the primary camera, potentially offering better low-light performance.

Vivo recently launched the Y29 4G, a reconfigured rendition of the previously released model vivo Y29 5G. The new model showcases a few tweaks, responding to more performative demand and attempting to garner greater attention. Let’s look at the detailed specifications of the vivo Y29 4G and assess its worth compared to its reasonable alternatives. Key Features and Specs of the vivo Y29 Vivo Y29 will enter the lower-midrange market, drawing a clash with authorities, like the Sansung Galaxy A16 5G, Google Pixel 4, and Redmi Note 13 4G. Let’s find out where the vivo Y29 positions itself among these popular models. Design The vivo Y29’s design differs from its previous iteration, featuring a wider camera panel, a matte-finished anterior, and a heavier body. Measuring 6.52” by 3.00” by 0.32”, the phone uses a plastic-glass sandwiched mainframe that, with all the contained components, weighs between 204g and 208g.  That makes the phone the taller and the weightier compared to the Google Pixel 4, Xiaomi Redmi Note 13 4G, and Samsung Galaxy A16 5G. The camera panel houses two vertically aligned primary lenses with an extra lens-shaped grooving and a flash horizontally placed below the lenses. The entire camera covers well around half of the width and one-third of the length of the phone. Though placed on a matted surface, the camera module is glossy and grabs prints if touched. Read more: iPhone SE 4 (2025): Latest Leaks, Rumors, and Features of Apple’s Most Affordable Powerhouse The vivo Y29 provides resistance to water splashes with an IP64 certification. Users will find a double-functioned volume rocker, a fingerprint-censoring power pad, and a SIM tray on the sides. The only lack in the design is the absence of a 3.5mm audio jack. Display The vivo Y29 uses a 6.68-inch IPS LCD panel for display, an apparent deviation from the segment-standard use of AMOLED panels and a far cry from Google Pixel 4’s P-OLED and Galaxy A16 5G’s Super AMOLED. In addition, users will only get HD+ support, while full HD displays are widely used in similar-range phones. The phone may struggle to show explicit details under daylight, given its 1000 nits of brightness, even though it is much higher than Samsung Galaxy A16 5G’s 800 nits.  Y29’s 120Hz refresh rate ensures optimal touch responses. The display comes with Schott Glass protection to withstand scratches and minor drops. However, its 720 by 1608-pixel resolution promises a vast viewport but falls behind the rivals Pixel 4 (1080 by 2280 pixels), Redmi Noted 13 4g (1080 by 2400 pixels), and Galaxy A16 5g (1080 by 2340 pixels).  Read more: OPPO Reno 13F 5G Review: A Stylish Powerhouse or Just Another Mid-Range Phone? Cameras The vivo Y29 boasts a dual-lense setup—a 50MP (f/1.8) wide and a 2MP (f/2.4) depth sensor—as the primary shooter and an 8MP (f/2.0) selfie shooter.  Though many nearly priced phones offer similar setups, market-rulers like the Xiaomi Redmi Note 13 4G and Samsung Galaxy A16 5G come with more robust triple-camera setups. The Redmi Note 13 4G’s 108MP and Galaxy A16 5G’s 50MP are both better performers than Y29’s primary lens.   vivo Y29 can record videos in 1080p at 30 frames per second at maximum. However, offering 4K utmost video capturing feature Google Pixel 4 wins the race. Hardware A Qualcomm SM6225 Snapdragon 685 6nm processor may be a suitable replacement for the previous model’s Mediatek Dimensity 6300; however, both use the same 6nm architecture,  without drifting much in power. An Adreno 610 graphical processing unit accompanies the main chipset in rendering visuals.  Read more: iPhone 16e Review: Budget-Friendly Apple Experience with Premium Features At this price, a 6nm processor meets the market norm, even though the influx of 5nm processors is becoming distinct. 6nm Snapdragons bear accusations of heating while playing highly configured games for long hours; nevertheless, they excel at running regular tasks, specifically, multi-app maneuvering, media browsing, and video rendering. However, Google Pixel 4 outwins vivo Y29 with its Snapdragon 855 (7 nm) processor combined with Adreno Adreno 640 GPU. Memory RAM power of vivo Y29 ranges from 6 to 8GB, while internal storage capacity reaches up to 256GB starting from 128GB supported by the eMMC 5.1 mechanism. It comes in 3 variants 128/6GB, 128/8GB, and 256/8GB. It has a MicroSD SIM card slot feature which is praiseworthy. Among the rivals, Redmi Note 13 4G is one step ahead sporting 512GB of internal memory.

Users will find three-finger gesture controls for screenshots and split-screen mode, along with distinguished navigation procedures for multitasking, switching between apps, customizing, and organizing. The phone also features limited bloatware. Battery and Charger A massive 6500mAh Lithium-Ion battery capable of supplying power for days heightens the vivo Y29’s usability. With moderate usage, exempting high-end gameplay and binge-watching, users will get at least a couple of days of power supply.  Charging the battery is quickened by providing a whopping 44W charger that takes only 41 minutes to charge 50% and 92 minutes to fill up 100% of a depleted battery. Reversewired charging offers an added advantage to this package. Vivo Y29 beats the rivals like Google Pixel 4, Redmi Note 13 4G, and Samsung Galaxy A16 5g in battery power and charging capacity.

The Vivo iQOO Z9 Turbo Plus, launched in September 2024, sets a new benchmark for mid-range gaming phones. Known for its performance-focused design, iQOO’s Z Turbo series continues to impress with innovative features and efficiency. In this review, we explore the key specs, standout features, pros, cons, and pricing of the Vivo iQOO Z9 Turbo Plus in Bangladesh. Key Features of iQOO Z9 Turbo+ . Design and Build Quality  The Vivo iQOO Z9 Turbo+ is a visually appealing device with a glass front, a plastic back, and a frame. While the choice of materials may not scream "premium," its IP64 rating offers a layer of dust and water resistance that surpasses the Vivo iQOO Z9’s IP54 rating. The 8mm thickness and 196g weight make it slightly heavier than the Honor X9c (189g) but give it a sturdy, well-balanced feel. Compared to the realme 13 Pro+, which features a more premium glass back with Gorilla Glass 7i protection, the iQOO Z9 Turbo+ falls short in terms of durability. However, its overall design and functional build will appeal to users who prioritise practicality over luxury. Read more: realme C75 Review: What Does This Budget Smartphone Offer? Display Quality The iQOO Z9 Turbo+ boasts a 6.78-inch AMOLED display with 1B colours, 1260 by 2800 pixels resolutions, a 144Hz refresh rate, and a staggering 4500 nits peak brightness. The ancestor iQOO Z9 Tubo shares almost the same features. However, this is a substantial upgrade over the iQOO Z9’s 6.67-inch AMOLED panel, which maxes out at 1800 nits and offers a lower refresh rate of 120Hz.  Z9 Turbo+ outperforms the Honor X9c (4000 nits peak and 120Hz refresh rate) and the realme 13 Pro+ (2000 nits peak and 120Hz refresh rate) in brightness and fluidity.  These features make it ideal for users who prioritize display quality, especially for media consumption, outdoor viewing, and fluid scrolling. Read more: Infinix Hot 50 Pro Plus Review: A Feature-Packed Budget-friendly Contender Camera Performance On the camera front, the iQOO Z9 Turbo+ is equipped with a 50 MP primary sensor, an 8 MP ultrawide lens, and advanced features like OIS for stabilized shots. The main sensor captures sharp and vibrant images, with excellent low-light performance, courtesy of the large f/1.8 aperture.  While the 8 MP (f/2.2) ultrawide lens is serviceable, it does not offer the versatility of the realme 13 Pro+, which includes a 50 MP periscope telephoto lens with 3x optical zoom. When compared to the iQOO Z9, it lacks the ultrawide lens. On the other hand, the Z9 Turbo’s camera and video features are the same as the Z9 Turbo+.  However, the Z9 Turbo+ lags behind the Honor X9c, which features a 108 MP primary sensor, delivering higher-resolution images with more detail. Read more: Xiaomi Redmi K80 Pro Review: The Ultimate Flagship Killer of 2024? Like the competitor Honor X9c, and ancestor Z9 and Z9 Turbo, the latest Z9 Turbo Plus has a 16MP (f/2.5) selfie sensor with a maximum resolution of 1080 by 30fps. However, the realme 13 Pro+ outwins all these rivals with its impressive 32MP front sensor sporting 4k video recording capacity. Processor Performance The iQOO Z9 Turbo+ is powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 9300+ chipset, paired with the Immortalis-G720 GPU. This combination offers cutting-edge performance, making it one of the fastest processors in its class. It outshines the ancestors iQOO Z9 (Dimensity 7200) and Z9 Turbo (Snapdragon 8s Gen 3), which are better suited for casual multitasking but struggles with intensive tasks. When stacked against the Honor X9c (Snapdragon 6 Gen 1) and Realme 13 Pro+ (Snapdragon 7s Gen 2), the iQOO Z9 Turbo+ emerges as a clear winner in raw processing power. Whether it is multitasking, video editing, or running demanding apps, this device delivers exceptional speed and efficiency. Read more: vivo iQOO Neo10 Review: A Gaming Powerhouse? Key Specs, Features, and Price in Bangladesh Gaming Performance Gaming on the iQOO Z9 Turbo+ is a delight, thanks to the high refresh rate display and the Immortalis G720 GPU. Popular titles like Call of Duty: Mobile and Genshin Impact run smoothly at max settings, with no noticeable frame drops. The improved heat management system ensures the device stays cool even during extended gaming sessions. While the Vivo iQOO Z9 offers decent gaming performance, the Turbo+ clearly excels due to its superior chipset and display. Compared to the Realme 13 Pro+, the gaming experience is on par, though the latter’s slightly lighter build might appeal to mobile gamers seeking comfort over extended play. Battery Life With its 6400 mAh battery, the iQOO Z9 Turbo+ delivers stellar endurance, easily lasting a day and a half on moderate usage. The inclusion of 80W wired charging allows for a 50% charge in under 20 minutes, which is a significant advantage over the ancestor iQOO Z9’s 44W charging. The Honor X9c’s 6600 mAh battery offers similar endurance but charges slightly slower at 66W. On the other hand, the realme 13 Pro+ has a smaller 5200 mAh battery but compensates with fast 80W charging.  Read more: Samsung Galaxy A16 5G Review: Value-for-Money or Just Another Upgrade?

Software and User Interface The device runs Android 14 with OriginOS 4, delivering a clean and customizable user experience. The interface is intuitive, with minimal bloatware, and supports features like split-screen multitasking and gesture navigation. Compared to the iQOO Z9’s Funtouch OS, OriginOS feels more polished and user-friendly. While the realme 13 Pro+ and Honor X9c also feature Android 14, their proprietary skins (realme UI 5.0 and Magic OS 8, respectively) offer a more stylized experience. However, OriginOS stands out for its focus on performance optimization and minimalistic design. Storage Options Like the sibling iQOO Z9 Turbo, the latest Turbo+ version offers a range of configurations, including 256GB or 512GB of UFS 4.0 storage, paired with 12GB or 16GB of RAM. This provides ample space for apps, media, and large files with fast data transfer speeds. It is a noticeable upgrade from the ancestor iQOO Z9, offering a maximum of 8 GB of RAM and 256 GB of storage with a UFS 2.2 mechanism.
