The X70 Pro might be a successor of the X60 Pro, but it is a real successor in terms to abilities to the X60 Pro+. It takes cues more from the Pro+.
SPECIFICATION:
The Vivo X70 Pro is powered by MediaTek Dimensity 1200 chipset and gets up to 12GB RAM. The device gets a 6.56-inch AMOLED display with a Full HD+ resolution and 120Hz refresh rate and a 240Hz touch sampling rate. The display gets an aspect ratio of 19.8:9.
Vivo X70 Pro gets a quad-camera setup and the primary lens with a 50MP sensor. The primary camera gets an “Ultra Sensing Gimbal” feature which allows smooth video capture.

DISPLAY &DESIGN:
The new model sports a brighter and more energy-efficient AMOLED screen while retaining the 120Hz refresh rate. The screen has great viewing angles and feels very easy to the eye making the usage very easy. The screen is bright, and the colors have such a good contrast making it very comfortable to use.
The X70 Pro is a particularly impressive device as it’s built around a 6.56-inch display, it doesn’t weigh that much, it’s rather thin and carries some serious hardware under the hood.
The device feels premium with its rounded corner comes with solid colors making the device look very premium. The camera modules are very designed in a single array and placed at the back comes craved with the Zeiss Lens.
PERFORMANCE & SOFTWARE:
The Vivo X70 Pro swaps the Snapdragon 870 SoC for MediaTek’s top-of-the-line Dimensity 1200 chipset that employs an octa-core CPU and a Mali-G77 MC9 GPU for GPU-intensive tasks.
The octa-core CPU consists of one main Cortex-A78 core clocked at 3.0 GHz joined by another cluster of three Cortex-A78 cores running at 2.6 GHz. For less demanding tasks, the chipset relies on a more power-efficient 4x Cortex-A55 cores ticking at 2.0 GHz. The whole chip is based on TSMC’s 6nm manufacturing process.
The device we tested holds 12GB of RAM and 256GB of internal storage, but other configurations are also available – 8GB/128GB, 8GB/256GB, and 12GB/512GB. All of them run on the fast UFS 3.1 storage. Software’s version has been bumped up to version 12. It’s still the Fun touch flavor, as their Origin OS remains exclusive for the Chinese market for now. The stock-ish looking and functioning main UI elements and menus have been substituted with a highly customized and customizable UI. Some of the changes are nifty.
CAMERA:
The real highlight of this device is its camera module. The unique bit is that the phone offers the most versatile camera setup with gimbal OIS, +two telephoto cameras and an ultrawide with AF in such a small package. Being a mid-range segment device, it is giving you some exceptional shooting abilities.
Vivo X70 Pro on the rear packs a quad camera setup featuring a 50-megapixel primary camera with an f/1.75 aperture; a 12-megapixel camera with an f/2.2 aperture; a 12-megapixel camera with an f/1.98 aperture, and an 8-megapixel camera with an f/3.4 aperture. The rear camera setup has autofocus. It has a single front camera setup for selfies, featuring a 32-megapixel sensor with an f/2.45 aperture. The good news is that the special Zeiss optics and Zeiss T* lens coating are still around, along with the famous gimbal stabilization on the main camera.
The photographs taken from the Vivo X70 Pro are nothing less than that from a professional dslr. The Zeiss lens makes the picture look so rich and color are so well generated that you win love the results. The autofocus helps making the photographic experience much easier and you would never get a hazy picture.
BATTERY:
A small bump in the battery capacity, now 4,450 mAh, paired with an upgraded, snappier 44W charging, the device tops-up fast.
VERDICT:
The Vivo X70 Pro is available in Cosmic Black, Aurora Dawn, and White colour options.
• 8GB Ram + 128GB storage: Rs 46,990
• 8GB Ram + 256GB storage: Rs 49,990
• 12GB Ram + 256GB storage: Rs 52,990
The device is a winner in the display, camera, battery department. What one would find a bit of a pinch is the price and would have wished for a different chipset. The pre-installed apps are a bit too many, but you will love the OIS on three lenses.
