Vivo Z1x Design
Vivo’s latest smartphone Vivo Z 1 x The design is slightly flashly. The rear panel of our review unit comes with a phantom purple, a glimpse of the light shed of the purple in the top and middle. The back panel surface is glossy and slightly reflective, due to which dust and spots fall on the phone easily. The frame is made of polycarbonate and it is easily found with a flat rear panel.
The front panel of the phone has a small waterdrop-hit, just above the notch which is quite thin. The display of Vivo Z1 X is protected from Schott Xensation 3D Glass which is the option of Corning Gorilla Glass. The volume and power button on the right side of the phone, while the Google Assistant button and the dual-nano card tray have got place on the left side of the phone.
Speaker, USB Type-C port, 3.5 mm headphone jack and mike are located at the bottom of the phone. Despite being smaller and lighter than the Vivo Z1 Pro, the Vivo Z1x is still large and weighty (189.6 grams). It is not easy to use the phone with one hand until your hands are big, the hand has to be stretched to reach the content in the upper part of the display. The outer part of the phone is slightly slipri.
Some people may prefer the contrast provided by gold branding instead of shiny rear panels, but we do not like too much glow in the phone. The build quality of Vivo Z1x is good, but ergonomics could have been better. Two color variants of Vivo Z1 X have been launched, fusion blue and phantom purple.

Our review unit runs on the July security patch but we hope that the company will roll out the update before the sale of the phone.
Vivo z1x display and performance
Vivo Z1 X has a super amoled panel, it is bright and kiss and colors are seen on it. But the color mode and temperature can be adjusted by going to the Settings app. The viewing angles are also very good. In daylight, we did not need to increase brightness more than half of the email and social media apps.
Vivo claims that the phone has a low brightness mode, which is similar to DC Dimping. The in-display fingerprint sensor is quite fast. During the review, we had no problem with the accuracy of fingerprint recognition. The Vivo Z1x has a Snapdragon 712 processor which proved to be a reliable performance. It handles all the day -long task, heavy multitasking and games easily.
Benchmark score suggests that when it comes to CPU performance, it is faster than Snapdragon 710. Talking about media performance, the voice of the phone comes right, but the volume is more than 80 percent, there is a feeling of distortion. The design of the headset available with the phone is similar to the design of Apple earpods, it is correct to listen to calls and music but do not expect good bass response or vocal clarity.
PUBG Mobile and Asphalt 9 Game Boy Default were set on high graphics and Vivo Z 1X gave smooth gameplay experience. Mortal Kombat and Injustice Gods Among Us Games also ran fast. We were surprised by the thermal performance of Vivo Z1 X, as the phone had only minimal heating even after playing 30-50 minutes.
Vivo z1x cameras and battery life

The phone focuses rapidly and it was largely accurate. Landscape photos, however, looked overprose, which lacked details. Redmi K20 (Review)) It also has the same 48 megapixel camera sensor, it takes better photos with accurate color and more details. Native AI Beauty Mode helps some extent with a dynamic range problem, causing more vibrant the picture.
On the other hand, low-light photos also showed grains with noys. The night mode adds some color to the frame and the element looks slightly sharp. Redmi Note 7 Pro and Motorola One Vision (Review) Performs better in low-light.
With the help of wide-angle camera, more people and objects can be captured in one scene. Wide-Angle photos Dim and low sharp. If the user wants, you can also capture 48 megapixel photos in 4: 3 aspect ratio. Pictures with full-regalution captured more details than 16-megapixel photos.
The difference between the subject and the background in portrait shots was correct but the blur effect was unstable. The blur effect can be adjusted even after capturing the portrait photo in the pre-loaded album app. There are also portrait lighting effects with features like scene mode, AR stickers, dynamic filters for short videos and live photos.
The 32 -megapixel front camera draws a crisp selfie with the right color. Selfies were good with Bokeh Effect. Now talk video. The phone is capable of making videos of 4K and 1080 resolution at 30 frames per second, which may a little disappointed. Because the phone at a low price records full-HD videos at 60 frames per second.
Talking about the video quality, the video stabilized of the 1080 resolution came and the color reproduction was also correct. The Wide-Angle camera records videos at 1080 resolution.

Even played PUBG Mobile for two hours on high-graft settings, listening to music for three hours through calling, social media usage and wire headphones and after internet connectivity throughout the day, the phone had about 30 percent battery remaining at the end of the day after internet connectivity.
In our HD video loop test, the phone supported 18 hours and 52 minutes before it was closed. The 22.5 watt charger with the phone takes about one and a half hours to fulfill the phone in 0 to 50 percent in only 38 minutes and the phone is about one and a half hours.
Our decision
The design of Vivo Z1X is quite attractive. The build quality of the phone is strong but the phone is quite large. The AMOLED display of Vivo Z1x is quite impressive. There is also no problem with the normal performance of the phone, graphics-intensive games went without stuck. Given the price, the camera output was correct but Realme X (Review) And Redmi Note 7 Pro (Review) They give better results. The phone’s battery life is good and the phone performed quite well in our HD video loop test.
Vivo Z1x is a meaningful step for its siblings, but the camera performs better in the department despite a premium command. If you are considering the base variant, then lack of expandable storage can also be a problem. Customers taking the base variant of Vivo Z1 X may have problems as there is no option to increase storage in the phone.
The VV Z1 X with an initial price of Rs 16,990 is definitely an attractive option. However, at this price, this phone of Vivo brand has Realme X, Redmi Note 7 Pro, Oppo K3 (Review) Like smartphones will compete.
