People finally seems to have
realized what it had been doing wrong on this day, so the outcomes is wealth of
Vivo's S1 pro and the vivo S1. The VEVO S1 is available in many different
countries in their offline channels and looking at the specs. The Vivo S1 does
look impressive but is it any better than the much cheaper Vivo S1 pro and if
it is any better, is it worth paying the extra premium for the Vivo S1. Let's
find out, first thing let's get done with the display it does not have a punch
hole display like the Vivo's everyone pro but the notch here is so tiny. It is
barely obtrusive the bezels too are very less overall the display looks clean
it's as ix point three inches Super AMOLED screen, so you can imagine how it is
the colors on it look vibrant and the blacks look dark making for a very good
display experience and side by side with the IPS panel of the vivo support pro.
The display on it is far better and this AMOLED screen is house for and indistinct
up in sensor 2 which unlocks fast but don't expect anything of the one-click 7
Pro kind the sensor I would say is fairly accurate but I have had instances
where it has not read mapping a print altogether but that has only happened a
few times, so no worries you also get a dark mode that helps save your battery
and protect your eyes. So that's a handy feature to have you have different
modes from where you can choose the screen color and make it bright or slightly
warmer and such. It's totally up to your preference the display indoors is
bright obviously but even outdoors it's moderately bright there's an always-on
display feature too, which makes sense on this AMOLED panel apart from your
usual date time and battery percentage. You can get a messenger bag if you get
messages and such as well so overall I'd like this experience on this one but
when you move to the bag, things don't look that good. It's got a plastic bag
and the sides are plastic too so durability could be a concern in the long run
but the design is nothing to complain it's appearing.
Feels good on hold and will not disappoint
you however smudges are something that are inevitable and I am NOT someone who likes
kissing up their phones so I've had a tough time but usually people keep a
phone up. So it should not be a huge problem for most, more about the design you
have these diamond-shaped pattern sat the back which look very unique and I think
will appeal to most people the vertical camera array at the back has this
golden lining surrounding it which kind of makes the camera stand out in the
overall design and just like the seventh row you also get the power and volume
buttons on the right and an AI button on the left. It can be used to trigger
Google assistant or Google search whatever you so prefer or pressing it twice
however you can trigger either Google search, Google assistant or image
recognizer while I don't use it all that much it can come handy sometimes
although I wish the buttons could be more tactile it's plastic and you will
know it right away down below you get the same most micro USB like in most
people smart phones single firing bottom speaker and a headphone jack.
The output from the headphone jack
and the mono speaker is well nothing to write home about it's pretty average
just like what you get on other mid-range phones so overall the build is
plastic but I think the design is good enough. It looks good so I'm okay with
it in terms of performance.
The Vivo S1 has the new mediatek
helio p65 chipset, it does offer improvements in the cpu performance compared
to last gen Helio P60 and P 70 but strangely the cheapy performance has been
downgraded this one uses the Mainichi 52 GPU while the P 60and P 70 uses a much
powerful Mali g72 strangely the chipset, does not support you if a storage but
has bluetooth 5.0 support and as a matter of fact we know we get phones with
snapdragon 712 and snapdragon 675. In this strange whose performance is well
better than the Helio p65 but enough of the technicalities the real-life
performance has been good, I must say regular day to day tasks run like this
should. I have never faced a single problem in my everyday usage it has taken
up the most intensive of the tasks very well. So I will not complain runs an HD
in high settings with some stutters here and there. But I preferred medium
settings as it gave me smoother performance while we're talking about vivo
seems to be really focused on giving their users. In step 1Pro review I had
mentioned that there are several features like being able to reply to text on
screen while playing games, being able to run the game in the background while
it loads and reminding you with the timer.
The phone also has this exercise
where it trains you with the help of sounds so that you can better locate your
enemy. Some of these features are popped you exclusive while some are for other
games too but again if the choice of the chipset would have been better I would
have loved the device even more take gaming for example, not that there is a
problem while playing pop G or other high end games but it would have run smoother
with snapdragon 712 or 675.
The phone comes with Android 95
with its own phone touch OS 9 on top. I use the vivo said one probe fore this
and if you have watched are view of it you would know how not so fun touch OS
is for me. But if you are a vivo user you should have no difficulty using it,
it has this upward swiping toggle menu which I had the most difficulty getting
used to initially also the arrangement of things in the you, I could have been
implemented better since the display is AMOLED. I have applied the stark mode
which is made the entire theme dark which looks good normally, but it's kind of
weird on whatsapp and Instagram talking about the software base station unlock
it fast like all vivo phones and since the index a fingerprint sensor is also
Swift and mostly accurate. It was my primary security unlock option.
Now it's time for the cameras the
S1 comes with camera setup at the back the primary is a 16-megapixel F 1.8 lens.
The secondary is an 8 megapixel F 2.2 ultra wide angle lens and the third is it
to make a pixel f2 point for depth sensor and let me tell you one thing although
the camera setup of the vivo s1 looks similar to that of the vivo’s everyone
pro. It isn't from colors to details the s1 captures better photos just look at
this image for comparison the s1 is very better than the set one pro the S1 has
slightly more saturation in pictures but that looks good when compared to under
saturated images from the 7th row onto the wide-angle images. They are equally
impressive the colors look good same as the primary lens although.
If you compare the details you will
find the primary lens doing a better job for portraits you get two options one
is for rate lighting and the other is aperture mode. In the aperture mode you
can change the blur and focus after taking pictures while in the portrait mode
you cannot and talking about the portrait images. Well they looks lightly
saturated the color tones in the skin looks somewhat unnatural and the edge
detection is not very proper either but the good thing is you can choose from
various different types of background blur which is fun sometimes, so these two
look good. Actually they have a good balance of colors and maintain exposure
levels very well, but I have to say again the skin tone is not very natural
talking of skin tones there is a high Beauty option which basically makes you
look prettier again comparing the selfie of the vivo’s f1 Pro and s1it shares
the same story as the red camera the S1 clicks pictures with richer color tone
making it look better than this f1 Pro. There is also something called fun
videos in the cameras which are basically like what we get on Instagram. But
the quality is far better than on Instagram, you get a lot to choose from plus
it can be fun sometimes when you are in a mood to play around you have
portrayed feature for selfies as well. Like with the cellphone pro you get tons
of options for background blurring which the future not so useful but still
nice to have as detection is a slight problem as the blur is purely software. Otherwise
it does a good enough job talking about the nighttime images there is no night mode
feature in here which is strange because even the Vivo's f1 Pro has fun. So
maybe it will arrive later with a software update and standard nighttime images
are well grainy and muddy and lack maintenance of exposure as for videos.
I was disappointed to not see a4k
option there's only 1080p 720p and 480p options and it's video recording
capabilities are not so good. I have to say videos in 1080p look wobbly and
they are not stabilized 720p videos are better stabilized than the 1080p option.
But overall this is not your ideal video camera as I have found on my test. The
vivo S1 comes with a sizable 4500 mAh battery whose endurance has impressed me a
lot. You can get over a day on normal usage plus you can use various battery saver
mode to increase endurance further and as we all know we are a pretty heavy users,
so if the battery lasted me for some time within a day then a normal and moderate
user can expect the battery to last even longer and talking about charging you
get a fast charger inside the box with the Vivo S1. It's an 18 watt charger
that can take your battery from 0 to 100% in around 2 hours.
So what do I think about the
people S1 well the poor reviewing this phone I was using the Vivo's f1 Pro and
as expected the before S1 is a better phone. It comes with better features like
an AMOLED display better cameras, better design and an industry fingerprint scanner,
so in many ways the Vivo S1 is as lightly upgraded version of the viewers everyone
pro except for the performance that was better on the web one pro.
So should you buy the Vivo S1,
well it depends on where you live if you live in Nepal, Bangladesh, Philippines
or Pakistan where this one is available, it is a good offering for some three
hundred dollars. However if you are from India you have the option to get the
real me X which I personally think is a very better option. The only thing it
misses out is on the wide angle lens which the Vivo S1 has, but apart from that
the real me X is better in almost every aspect so there you have it guys our
review of the vivo s1. If you have liked this review do follow us for more
