 “Our take on Vivo’s latest affordable smartphone – the V15”

Soon after taking the market by a storm with the V15 Pro, Vivo recently announced the V15 in India which makes owning a pop-up selfie camera phone all the more affordable. That said, is the phone a one-trick pony or does it pack enough grunt to justify its steep asking price of Rs 23,999? To find out, I put my SIM in the V15 and here’s what I make of it after a week of testing.

Verdict

The Vivo V15 is a mixed bag as it offers a long-lasting battery life, an immersive display and gorgeous design. That said, the smartphone fails to impress amidst the competition, the likes of which include the cheaper Redmi Note 7 Pro which offers a USB Type-C port, support for HD video playback through apps like Netflix, a faster CPU and significantly better rear-facing cameras.

Correspondingly, despite offering a unique pop-up camera design, the V15 fails to step out of the Note 7 Pro’s shadow.
