About vivo z1 pro:-

The dual-SIM (Nano) Vivo Z5x runs on Android 9 Pie with FunTouch OS 9 on top. The phone sports a 6.53-inch full-HD+ (1080x2340 pixels) screen with 19.5:9 aspect ratio. It is powered by octa-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 710 SoC, coupled with up to 8GB of RAM.

Vivo Z1 Pro Summary:-

Vivo's new Z1 Pro is aimed at millenials who are highly critical of specifications and features, and who prefer buying phones online. It has plenty of selling points including a large, crisp, notchless screen with a punch-hole for the front camera. This is also the first phone in India to feature the Qualcomm Snapdragon 712 processor, which gives it a performance advantage at its price level, especially for gaming. There's a 5000mAh battery with support for quick charging, and three rear cameras. There are three variants: 4GB RAM with 64GB storage, 6GB RAM with 64GB storage, and 6GB RAM with 128GB storage. You can also choose between the shiny Sonic Blue and Sonic Black finishes.
The Vivo Z1 Pro puts up a strong showing in terms of its display, cameras, processor, and battery. We enjoyed using it for everyday tasks as well as entertainment. One slight damper is that Vivo's Funtouch OS takes a bit of getting used to, and has a lot of bloat.
Some people might find this phone too bulky and heavy, but it's priced very well and offers great value even compared to other heavyweights in its segment.

 Vivo Z1 Pro review: What’s good?

 The design on the Vivo Z1 Pro looks modern and the gradient paint job adds a stylish look, though this effect is fast becoming the industry norm similar. The Z1 Pro does is a bit thick, though it might remind one of the Samsung Galaxy M40, which also comes with a triple rear camera setup and a hole punch display.

The Vivo Z1 Pro’s display is a positive feature of the device, and the punch-hole display certainly gives it a unique design. The display is quite bright and vivid; it can be used outdoors easily and all the content is legible. The fingerprint sensor is quite accurate and captures the biometric data very fast. Facial recognition also worked pretty well.

Day-to-day performance is not an issue on this smartphone. It can easily handle daily tasks like making calls, messaging, browsing social media, listening to songs, watching videos and more. There are no noticeable lags or stutters while switching between multiple tabs and apps at the same time.Due to the Vivo Z1 Pro being a budget device, I did not expect much from it. However, this changed when I first played PUBG Mobile on the device. I was able to play all the games that I test on the device in high graphic settings without any issues I noticed during the gameplay was that the device does not heating up much during long gaming sessions.

Vivo Z1 Pro comes with a 5,000mAh battery, so it is no surprise that the device was able to last for a long time. During our testing process, Z1 Pro lasted approximately a day and a half on heavy usage, which included playing games like PUBG and performing multi-tasking process
While using it moderately provided over two days of battery life. During the testing, I used it with an Airtel 4G SIM card. It was used to make and receive calls, send messages, play games like PUBG Mobile, browse the web and taking a few photos. The device can be fully charged from the 18W fast charger provided inside the box within 1.5 hours.

Vivo Z1 Pro review: What’s not so good?

I liked the quick facial recognition capabilities of this smartphone. However, I would not recommend that you rely on this as the device it would just unlock even if I had my eyes closed, which raises concerns about its reliability.
Vivo Z1 Pro runs the company’s own FunTouch user interface built on top of Google’s Android operating system. This is still quite unpolished and needs a lot of work. The graphics are animated, the skin feels heavy while using, it has a huge learning curve and my biggest issue would be the lack of an app drawer. The gestures, which are crucial on such full screen style displays, don’t work properly and I turned them off as quickly as I turned them on.
The low-light performance was a miss as the camera ends up losing details in photos and smoothing the edges, which makes them look artificial. I did not like the device’s front camera performance as the images were overexposed, lacked details. The images looked zoomed in. Even when I had my hand fully extended, the device was only able to capture my face.
Fair warning, stay away from the device’s AI Beautification mode, unless you are trying out for the Snow White’s role in your next school play.
Vivo is sticking with the micro-USB port for charging and data transfer on this device. This is a let down as all manufacturers are moving towards providing users with USB Type-C ports on the devices, which have higher data transfer and charging speeds.

Vivo Z1 Pro Review: Verdict

Overall, the Vivo Z1 Pro is a decent performer at the price. If gaming is your main focus and you want a phone that looks good you do not need to look any further than this. However, if you are looking for a device to click images I would recommend that you take a look at other options like the Redmi Note 7 Pro or the Realme 3 Pro.
