Pros (unique positive points)

  • Strong overall hardware for the class: Snapdragon 8 Gen 5, “flagship markers”

    • LTPO, high brightness (by measurement), adaptive refresh, good PWM
  • Excellent durability claim:
    • IP68/IP69, survived moisture test (with safety caveats)
  • Wireless + reverse charging up to 40W
  • Good photos from main and telephoto, noted as more “correct” colors than Xiaomi in some comparisons
  • Telephoto/video capability is a standout for a compact phone:
    • Reviewer emphasizes 4K60 and generally “adequate” module switching
  • Good front camera detail:
    • Reviewer says Vivo’s selfie is better than Xiaomi’s in their tests

Cons / complaints (unique negative points)

  • Charging is not ideal
    • Slow wired Type-C (explicit)
    • Wireless fast charging behavior is inconsistent: sometimes fast charging turns on automatically, sometimes not
    • Reviewer suggests it’s closer to ~30W typical, not “super-fast”
  • Virtual proximity sensor
    • Described as a major disappointment and “offensive” for the money; works poorly
  • Gaming limitations / performance inconsistency
    • PUBG capped at 90 FPS (“sad,” per reviewer)
    • Possible drops after prolonged play; occasional crashes reported in some scenarios
    • Touch responsiveness may be weaker under some testing conditions
  • Ultra-wide camera weakness
    • Weak hardware (8MP, no autofocus)
    • Video limited to 1080p30
    • Aggressive photo post-processing criticized
  • Sound / vibration
    • Speaker described as relatively poor for the money; few settings
    • Vibration motor perceived as weak
  • Camera switching quirks
    • At night, telephoto switching can fail in low light; “glitches” where it doesn’t switch as expected

Comparisons made

  • Against Xiaomi 17 / Xiaomi 17 Ultra

    • Reviewer prefers Vivo for telephoto image clarity/colors and says Vivo’s front camera performed better
    • Xiaomi’s ultra-wide is sometimes “nicer” in certain conditions (especially light behavior), but Vivo wins for telephoto/front priorities
    • Claim: Xiaomi may use ultra-wide differently; Vivo’s “Fun Edition” has a cut-down ultra-wide than expected
  • Against Honor 600 / Honor 600 Pro

    • Honor 600 family also has a virtual proximity sensor
    • Claim: Honor 600 (base) allegedly cannot shoot 4K60 (reviewer contrasts this with Vivo’s 4K60)
  • Against Realme 16 Pro Plus

    • Reviewer suggests Realme is “not even close” in overall value for this use case (telephoto capability + hardware)
  • Other alternatives mentioned

    • Cheaper options for compact gaming/heat/throttling concerns and “plug-ins”/other brands
    • Mentions other models: X300E (future), Xiaomi Pad 8 Pro (future review), Oppo Find X9S Pro

Ratings / numbers mentioned

  • PCMark (performance test): 13:13, work performance 14,807 points (reviewer calls it top-notch)
  • 3DMark: “almost 3 million”
  • Storage test: ~145,000
  • Battery test (PCMark mentioned): drain rates and charging times
    • 0→100% wireless/wireless: ~1 hour average (or ~50 minutes for some)
    • Typical charge expectation: ~30W, ~55 minutes
    • Charging to 55% in ~37 minutes (behavior may vary depending on whether the screen is active)
  • Gaming: PUBG capped at 90 FPS
  • GPS accuracy: ~4 m
  • USB / charging: “slow Type-C” (no exact wired wattage provided)

User experience / real-world behavior (from the video)

  • Long-term use: used for many months, mostly satisfied with hardware longevity/value
  • Heat / throttling: reviewer expects overheating at some point due to powerful chipset (general compact expectation)
  • Touch / game behavior: touch responsiveness not best; FPS drop after extended gaming sessions
  • Moisture testing: emphasis on water/moisture protection, with warning that wet damage outcomes vary by scenario

Speakers/views

  • A single primary reviewer voice (“Polznet/Poln… channel”) provides most details:
    • Long-term use, moisture test emphasis, benchmarks, camera comparisons, and gaming/charging critiques
  • No clear second speaker; the later comparison sections appear to be the same reviewer switching topics

Overall verdict / recommendation

Recommended if you want a compact phone with strong telephoto capability (including 4K60) and a top-tier AMOLED display, and you can get it around the reviewer’s target pricing (~38,000 rubles).

Do not buy if the following are deal-breakers for you:

  • Proximity sensor accuracy
  • Reliable charging behavior (wired + wireless “fast” consistency)
  • Ultra-wide camera quality

Key weak points highlighted: virtual proximity sensor, charging inconsistency/slow wired, and ultra-wide underperformance.
