Vivo X50 Review: Can this fashionable mid-tier phone stick out from the contest?

Vivo's recently established X50 series is the premium offering nevertheless.  We reviewed the Vivo X50 Guru (Inspection ), which turned out to be a superb 5G smartphone with a distinctive gimbal camera program.   

It lacks both the gimbal camera program and 5G SoC that the larger brother boasts of, but aside from such attributes, both telephones are extremely similar.  Add to this a Rs. 15,000 cost difference between both versions' foundation variations, and you've got a solid mid-tier competition, on paper anyway.

If you select the Vivo X50  Rs. 34,990 in its beginning price of Rs. 34,990?  I have been using this phone for around a week and it is time to find out whether Vivo has hit another home run, exactly like with its larger sibling.

Vivo X50 layout and screen: Quite striking

Exactly enjoy the Vivo X50 Guru, the Vivo X50 looks spectacular from any angle and can be easily among of the best looking phones I have seen from the business of late.  It seems premium and well-built also, as a result of the metallic frame and frosted glass back.  

Interesting fact: components at the Frost Blue color I have are a very small bit thinner (7.49mm) and lighter (171.5gram ), compared to those from the Glaze Black trimming.  Vivo informs Gadgets 360 the black version utilizes a slightly different anti-fingerprint coating procedure, which explains why it's slightly thicker, but it did not remark on the weight gap.

The matte finish of this Frost Blue version looks great and it seldom attracted fingerprints in my personal experience.  The same as the Vivo X50 Guru, the Vivo X50's framework is flattened on the top and underside, giving it a different appearance.  

At the floor, it's a double Nano-SIM tray, a USB Type-C interface (USB 2.0) plus one speaker.  The quantity and power buttons are about the right of their telephone, and provide decent feedback.

The Vivo X50 includes a 6.56-inch AMOLED screen using a full-HD+ resolution, 90Hz refresh speed, and HDR10+ certificate.  I enjoy the fact that the bezels are quite slender on either side, including the bottom chin.  

There is a hole-punch cutout for the selfie camera along with an in-display fingerprint detector.  The latter is quite fast at authentication, and the exact same holds for face recognition also.

Eventually, the Vivo X50 does possess a camera bulge at the trunk, but its own multi-tiered layout masks the protrusion rather well.  All in all, the Vivo X50 is a really well-built smartphone using a superior in-hand feel.  

The screen is on the broader side, which might be an issue for those who have smaller hands.  Fortunately, there are lots of gestures in Funtouch OS to cure this, which we will discuss next.  From the box, you receive the typical accessories such as a instance, a headset, and a Type-C into 3.5millimeter headphone adapter.

Vivo X50 applications: Bloated but nevertheless great 

The Vivo X50 runs exactly the Identical applications as the X50 Guru, Funtouch OS 10.5, according to Android 10.  There is a lot that is packed into this custom made Android skin, beginning with lots of redundant programs like Vivo's own program shop, browser, and email client  not one of that may be uninstalled.  

My device had a couple of programs like TikTok and Helo, that have been banned from the Indian authorities, but these may be uninstalled.

But, Funtouch OS also supplies lots of port customisation which actually allow you to fine-tune your expertise.    The'Dynamic effects' menu at the Settings program enables you to set custom light effects for incoming calls as well as alarms.  

You also receive an always-on display attribute, with a wonderful choice of clock faces.  There is a one-handed manner, which can be useful once you have to attain the extreme corners of the screen.  

Vivo X50 functionality: Good enough 

The Vivo X50 utilizes the Qualcomm Snapdragon 730 SoC, like this Redmi K20.  It is not the most effective SoC to get a telephone at this price, particularly once you have alternatives depending on the Snapdragon 855+ and Snapdragon 765G SoCs to contend with.  

It is nevertheless a well-performing, power-efficient chip, however, and it manages to maintain its own with heavy jobs.

 I have been using the base version of this X50 for approximately a week and up to now, functionality was nothing but good.  Unlocking the telephone is fast and seamless, the port is always snappy due to this high-refresh-rate display, and multitasking is not a issue.  

The AMOLED display becomes really bright, colors seem punchy, and that I did not observe any off-axis tinting either.

HDR videos seemed great when performed through YouTube.  But for some reason that the Netflix program failed to discover the HDR capacity once I attempted it.  Still, videos generally seemed great.  

The speaker may become very loud for multimedia playback as well as telephone calls, but a stereo set is sorely missed.

I discovered gaming functionality to be quite strong also.  The Game Space app organises all of your installed games in 1 location, but getting for this menu requires a few additional steps, which feels unnecessary.  

It is possible to bring up the Game Space menu mid-game using an easy swipe gesture.  This pop-up carousel enables you to block incoming calls, lock in the display brightness, start a display listing, and so forth.  The majority of the games that I tried ran just fine.  There was minimum heating, even playing hefty titles like PUBG Mobile.  

Vivo X50 battery lifetime: A trooper

The 4,200mAh battery is somewhat bigger than what you purchase in the X50 Guru, but it nevertheless conducted to get a good 15 hours and 42 minutes in our HD video loop evaluation.  The bundled charger affirms Vivo's 33W FlashCharge technologies, which managed to control the X50's battery completely in under one hour.

In the rear, you get a key 48-megapixel Sony IMX598 detector with optical stabilisation along with an f/1.6 aperture lens; a 8-megapixel ultra front-facing camera with autofocus and a f/2.2 aperture; a 13-megapixel portrait camera using almost 2.2x the focal length of the most important one; along with a 5-megapixel camera.

The primary back camera has been fairly impressive overall.  In daylight, landscape shots packed with lots of detail, colors were brilliant, and exposure has been balanced.  Close-ups looked excellent also, with sharp details and ample desktop bokeh, thanks to this massive f/1.6 aperture.  

Together with AI scene recognition empowered, colors are usually promoted, so in the event that you'd like a more natural look for your photographs, it is ideal to leave it off.

There is a maximum zoom assortment of 20x, but once you go past the 2x magnification mark, the Vivo X50 switches into its own portrait camera, thus effectively providing you 2x optical zoom and after that hybrid digital zoom until 20x.  

In low light, the principal camera decreases shutter speed for improved exposure.  There is a little grain, and brightly colored areas can seem overexposed, but shifting to Night mode fixes both those difficulties.  The X50 also has Night style filters like Cyberpunk, which we found at the X50 Pro.

The wide-angle camera recorded great details and colors in daytime.  You are able to change to the camera by simply tapping on the'Lens' button at the viewfinder and picking'Super Wide-angle.'  The benefit of getting autofocus for this camera is that you could capture intense close-ups too.  

Tapping the'Lens' button and choosing'Super macro' enables you to capture fantastic excellent macros.  This pretty much leaves the committed macro camera obsolete, because it captures relatively darker colors and poorer details.  

Wide-angle shots in low light have poorer details, in comparison to those recorded with the most important camera.  Night mode helps mend the vulnerability somewhat, but it does not create a difference.

In portrait mode, the X50 switches into the 13-megapixel camera, and this provides you an exceptionally zoomed-in perspective of your topic.  Pressing the 1x button provides you a wider shot (by shifting back to the most important detector ).  

Prior to taking the photo, you can adjust the degree of background blur, and include attractiveness filters and effects.  Portrait shots of individuals and things generally looked great.  Autofocus was somewhat slow while using the portrait (in 2x mode), but specifics and colors were great.

The 32-megapixel front camera recorded high-quality selfies over the course of the day.  Bokeh mode also functioned really nicely.  Low-light selfies shot under artificial lighting seemed adequate, but there was a noticeable hit .  In intense situations, you may utilize Night style, but the last outcome was not often satisfying.

 The ultra wide-angle camera may just take up to 1080p, as well as the quality isn't quite as great as if using the most important one, even throughout the daytime.  The'Ultra secure' toggle button is helpful if you will be moving around a lot and require decent stabilisation.  In low light, it is ideal to stick to the major camera to get great particulars.

The Vivo X50 also includes some neat little tips for movie.  Smart Zoom, that may be triggered via the tiny video camera , can automatically zoom in and out to trace the subject, provided you are a sensible distance from it.  

This works nicely but the autofocus is not fast enough to maintain and footage seems somewhat grainy when there is not enough lighting.  There is eye detection autofocus, which functioned really well.  Object monitoring is also striking, and the X50 can keep on monitoring the topic even though it temporarily drops from the framework and comes back.

Verdict: If you Get the Vivo X50?

That I don't have any trouble recommending the Vivo X50, since it has been demonstrated to be a fairly good all-rounder.  It looks stylish, is constructed well, and contains great cameras.   

But I want to deal with that in its beginning price of Rs. 34,990, it is a bit underpowered in comparison to mobiles like the Realme X2 Pro (Inspection ) and OnePlus 7T (Inspection ), which have flagship-level SoCs.  

Even though this should not hamper daily performance, it might prevent particular high-end games from operating at their entire potential.  Another overlook from Vivo is that the exception of speakers.

If neither of those things disturb you, I think you'd be pleased with this Vivo X50, particularly if you're searching for a fantastic cameras and a superior layout.
