Vivo V15 specifications

As mentioned earlier, the Vivo V15 is a toned-down variant of the Pro, and as you can see in the image above, it ditches the in-display fingerprint scanner in favour of a conventional rear-mounted one. Apart from that, the smartphone gets a slightly bigger screen and battery, but the rest of the spec sheet remains the same. The Vivo V15 comes with a 6.53-inch 19.5:9 FHD+ Ultra FullView display that offers 91.64 percent screen-to-body ratio and is protected by Corning Gorilla Glass 5. Ticking at the core is the MediaTek Helio P70 SoC backed by Mali-G72 MP3 GPU and 6GB RAM. In the software department, the phone boots FunTouch OS 9 based on Android 9.0 Pie.

Coming to the imaging department, the Vivo V15 sports a triple rear camera setup, which comprises a 12MP f/1.78 sensor, along with 8MP f/2.2, and 5MP f/2.4 sensors. For selfies, the V15 retains the 32MP f/2.0 pop-up camera of the Pro variant. Powering the whole setup is a beefy 4,000mAh battery with Dual Engine fast charging.
