vivo V25 Pro

Extremely hard-working, versatile camera ; Expensive-looking curved glass front ; Good performance

Mono speaker ; Charging is fast, but not nearly the fastest

An elegant curved glass design and versatile camera make the Vivo V25 Pro worth buying, as long as you can get it at the right price, without any hefty customs charges.

Very thin, light and modern design. UV-sensitive back panel is a nice party trick.

Plastic middle frame, though quite sturdy. No ingress protection.

Plus, while the V25 Pro is reasonably priced, it does not position itself aggressively on the market and rubs shoulders with quite a few excellent devices within its segment. Don't get us wrong, it is a perfectly capable and well-rounded device which...

Excellent primary and selfie cameras ; Great photographic features ; Unique look and feel ; Solid battery life ; Bright and vibrant 120Hz display

No expandable storage or headphone socket ; No wireless charging ; Lots of bloatware ; Terrible auxiliary cameras

If you're looking for an affordable smartphone with a cracking camera, the Vivo V25 Pro is well worth a look. Unfortunately, it's not available in most regions just yet, but we're hoping it gets a wider release.

Bright and colorful 120Hz display ; 32MP front camera with autofocus ; Good 64MP main camera with OIS

Poor heat dissipation ; Mediocre battery life ; Buggy refresh rate auto-switching

Premium look and feel ; Impressive performance ; All-day battery life ; Colour-changing glass is a fun touch

No water/dust resistance or reinforced glass ; FunTouch OS 12 is full of bloatware ; No software commitment update

The Vivo V25 Pro is an interesting mid-ranger; the hardware is impressive, with performance matching the likes of the OnePlus Nord 2T, a stunning 120Hz AMOLED display and true all-day battery life, but issues with FunTouch OS 12 bloatware, the lack of...

UV sensitive glass adds character ; Quality AMOLED screen with 120Hz refresh ; Decent main camera performance

No shortage of rivals at this money ; Mono speakers a disappointment for the cash ; Depth camera a token inclusion

A capable mid-ranger with unique styling, thanks to that colour-changing rear panel. The V25 Pro is a bit one-note, though – your money goes a little further elsewhere

The looks of this phone are fantastic ; The Sailing Blue color with color changing back is the one to get ; The 120Hz, 1300 nit, FHD++ display is great ; Performance is decent and gaming is good ; Cameras are okay, just about what to expect from a...

The amount of bloatware apps is staggering ; I wasn't a fan of Funtouch 12 ; The speakers are weak they could be better ; Cameras are okay but don't expect flagship performance

The V25 Pro is a stunning smartphone in terms of looks. The color, the design, and the build are all top-notch. The specs are also very good for a mid-range smartphone. Based on those observations, it’s an excellent device, but adding the bloatware,...

Vibrant, curved-edge 120Hz display ; Relatively fast charging ; for gaming ; Solid battery life ; Premium design

Spammy notifications, lots of bloatware ; No IP rating or stereo speakers ; Weak ultra-wide and macro cameras ; Low-light camera performance is inconsistent

The big question with the V25 Pro 5G is, why is Vivo still charging a premium for it? If it's for features like the colour-changing back panel or the curved display, then I'm not sure how many buyers would actually be willing to pay a premium for such...
