Vivo X30 reviews
Those who have had the chance to scrutinize the specs of the phone aired the following opinions on YouTube;
- james Robertson: no headphone jack. I have doubts. One of the images live saw of it shows a headphone jack. And remember the phone brand is vivo. The ones that put HiFi dac(s) in the phones they make.
- GoldenFlower: Thought this was gonna be bezel less... Pass !! Fingers crossed for the OPPO Reno 3
- kuro Yoshitsune: Well at least vivo try to do something unique and dare to take the risk of using exynos instead of mtk or snapD chipset. This could be a game changer
- Granger Danger: Vivo should change their Ui though....feels outdated.
- Ashton Kee: Vivo should use Huawei’s Kirin 990 with the integrated Baking 5000 5G SOC. Gonna skip this X30 becoz of the Scumsung SOC.
Verdict
The significant up-sides of the Vivo X30 are its powerful camera specs capable of capturing top quality images and videos, and its capability of zooming far-away objects by 60x with high clarity. Its battery is another unique feature because it is of high capacity that can power the phone for a long time.
The absence of an external memory card slot is a step-down since the internal memory may not be sufficient for your storage needs.
Vivo X30 offers some of the best features that any smartphone enthusiast would consider necessary. However, if you cannot keep up with the price, you can opt for other types of phones that would offer an almost similar experience such as Vivo U3.
