Vivo U1 |Detailed Specification

Vivo U1 - long-playing beauty

The Chinese company Vivo, known for its mid-range and high-price smartphones, decided to conquer the expanses of the budget value category. The hero of this review has almost completely adopted the design of his more expensive fellows and is ready to boast a number of competitive advantages. But is this enough for commercial success?

Appearance of new items is very good. Let the construction of the body materials and not the premium (using high-quality polycarbonate), gradient back panel with dual camera, fingerprint scanner and a proprietary developer logo, as well as frameless screen with drop-shaped cut left pleasant emotions of love with the gadget. The 6.2-inch OGS-panel with a resolution of 1520 x 720 pixels looks decent against the background of competitors, providing a fairly bright and contrasting picture, which does not fade very much in direct sunlight.

Specifications are represented by an energy efficient Snapdragon 439 processor , 3 / 4GB of RAM and an Adreno 505 video adapter. This bundle is still enough for demanding games, but the graphics settings will usually be low-medium. ROM allocated 32 / 64GB . Such a volume of internal storage will be enough for many customers, for the rest there is a slot for MicroSD cards .

The main 13 and 2-megapixel photomodules are far from the flagship standards, but they give more than satisfactory results of photography in the afternoon. Even in the evening, sensors do not turn pictures into a bunch of noises. The 8-megapixel front camera also does not upset the quality of the selfie, organizing the face recognition function as well . A capacious battery at 4030mAh guarantees more than 8-9 hours of active screen time, which should be considered an outstanding achievement. Modified Android Oreo, LTE, OTG and a reasonable price further confirm the claims of the device for the title of the hit.
