The New Notch-Less Smartphone

2019-02-20
would you look at that it's another new smartphone who's just announced it looks a lot like a smartphone which gathered a boatload of attention last year that was of course the vivo NEX the phone in front of me takes a lot of its inspiration from that next device of course it's a vivo device this is the V 15 Pro and what you're looking at is a more approachable more affordable version of the next I can go based on some rumors that are out there that seem to imply that the price point for this device is going to be somewhere around $400 u.s. so really compelling competitive price ultra full view display it has a triple camera setup on the back including a wide-angle a 32 megapixel elevating front camera so if you remember that from the next video it's very entertaining it's got a 37 hundred million power battery as well in display fingerprint first things first a little case better than what I'm used to seeing as far as free cases are concerned and here's the device this is topaz blue not only does this device have dual nano SIM slots it's also got micro SD so expandable storage ooh wow that is a very nice blue the triple camera setup oh my goodness there is also a headphone jack nice to see it hanging around on certain devices now unfortunately it's a micro USB connector but somehow still capable of fast charging you actually have a dedicated button for launching Google assistant also include a headset so wired headset with a microphone pretty standard stuff oh all right so gets my face did you get that Jack that was that was wow that was so fast it just scanned me instantly okay now we're gonna do the fingerprint so now that it's registered let's go ahead and attempt to unlock it first I'll try the fingerprint here hmm okay I feel like that's quicker than my one plus 60 and hold on a second here let me just see something it's quicker right okay and this guy huh maybe it's just the animation but it feels like maybe a split second faster if you want to use the face unlock you just what do you do hmm it's a swipe up so it's just this comes up I can't imagine doing that every time just because then you're really using this motorized unit a lot but it is quick so let's try and not point at my face nothing then unlock nothing boom huh now of course if you launch the camera app the front-facing camera will trigger the unit as well now if I switch back to the other camera on the back it goes away so let's take a selfie I'm looking way too beautiful where is the beauty mode on this they're softening me out anyway I'll crank that down maybe we'll put HDR on wow that might be the best selfie I've ever taken look at the detail on here and look at the pores in my skin here you seeing this pores hair follicles well you want to take a look at this am I crazy or is that a really nice looking selfie yeah it is it's very sharp it is a ton of detail really nice he was going on yeah that's wild this is one of my favorite selfies I've ever taken in this environment we're talking about 32 megapixels okay let's flip over to the rear camera now HDR mode popped on now there's also a wide lens it is a triple camera setup tons more in the frame I believe this is a hundred and twenty degree field of view now as you can see there's a slider in the middle there for simulated aperture as you can tell kind of does a job with that I like blurring out the background I'm not such a fan of these modes I've told you about that in the past it's funny the rear camera I might be less impressed by than the front-facing one that's a pretty vibrant image this is an AMOLED display that's pretty wild at this price point also but the front-facing one not that's a crazy unit I never saw such a realistic selfie that actually looks like me you know I was critical of some of the magic that Apple was doing even some of the magic that the pixel does sometimes and I don't like that much now this unit also has a night mode built into it so we should probably hit some lights and see what we can come up with whoo look at that it's dark in here but not on the camera oh my goodness guys it's dark in here but not on the night mode Willie do is satisfied right now okay that's will on the camera with the exposure set here's will on the night mode look at that you wouldn't believe it it's important to know that this doesn't have the flagship Snapdragon in it this one is the 675 but there could be a good thing from a power consumption standpoint 3700 milliamp hour battery I think you can see some pretty decent battery numbers on here and that processor should be enough for most individuals especially price point considered okay I definitely want to test the sound on this it's a lot of high-end but it's loud Wow it's piercing it's a bit of a no-no say no not City is that enough the speaker is possible nowhere near the best I've seen you have to adjust your expectations to the suggested price point now I should also mention that you do have a skin on this device out of the box as you can tell here it's fairly snappy but a couple of things you got to get used to like you're swiping down here you see your notifications up is gonna bring up your brightness volume and various other quick toggles something to note at least out of the box as I said before it's an AMOLED display all screen this is kind of an amazing package in fact when you consider the price point this is the blue colour the glitz the glamour you're gonna turn some heads with that guy right there I'm pretty excited about it it's the V 15 pro from vivo a new more affordable incarnation of the NEX origin I think it's interesting
