Today, we have a new smartphone guest again; We will talk a little about the vivo V25 model, we will look at what this phone has to offer and get to know its features together. The phone came to us in a nice package. They prepared the inside of the box in the form of a stadium; This is because vivo is the sole smartphone sponsor of the 2022 FIFA World Cup, which will be held in Qatar in the coming days. Inside the box, there is a beautiful World Cup keychain and plates that can be placed on the back of the phone. There is even a model that was specially prepared for us. You take this plate and place it on the back of the phone, and when you attach the silicone case that comes out of the box, such a beautiful image emerges. These are well thought out things, but our topic is the phone, and now let’s get to know the vivo V25.
vivo V25 is a model that continues the premium design line of the company’s V series. We have it in Sunrise Sparkle color. There is also a Diamond Black color option. This Sunrise Sparkle color model has a special detail, which is that it can change color according to the surrounding lights. When the rear panel is exposed to sunlight or UV light, the surface color alternates between gold, orange, and red tones with a ripple pattern, and returns to its original color after some time away from the light source. It is a very nice detail, this feature adds charm to the look.
In addition, we can say that it is a very light and thin phone. The phone is just 7.79mm thick and weighs 186 grams. It has sharp edges and is adorned with 2.5D thin and flat bezels both front and back. It looks very elegant in the hand.
The phone is pretty elegant yes, but it’s also pretty solid. Because vivo is a brand that attaches importance to quality and bears the cost for it, and it has proven this with durability tests in vivo V25. So much so that vivo subjected it to a series of tests while making this phone. The vivo V25, which has survived a full 42 thousand drop test, has been tested against 6,000 plugging and unplugging of the USB port and operating ambient temperatures between -20 and 50 degrees Celsius. In addition to these, the IP54 certificate is also ready. Thus, it is also resistant to dust and water.
The screen of vivo V25 is 6.44 inches. The side bezels are too thin. The screen resolution of the phone is 1080×2404 pixels and the screen refresh rate is 90Hz. Thus, a fluid screen experience is provided when using it, whether when switching between screens or in applications. One of our favorite aspects of the screen, where the AMOLED panel is used, is that it can reach a brightness level of 1300 nits. Thus, you can easily see the screen under bright sunlight, and the readability level of the screen is high. Let’s also say that the screen, in which HDR10 + display technology is used, covers the DCI-P3 color gamut by 100 percent and has a 180Hz touch sampling rate. We don’t see many of the special features we see here, such as the 1300 nits screen brightness and HDR10+, on mid-range smartphones, so having them on the vivo V25 is a huge plus.
vivo V25 is a powerful model. The phone is equipped with the high-performance and low-energy Dimensity 900 processor, which is an energy-efficient 6 nm 5G platform. Thus, you do not have problems with applications at the point of use. In the game part, thanks to the Game Boost Mode on the phone, system resources are optimized to fully reveal the gaming performance potential of the processor and cooling system, providing a smooth gaming experience. Of course, the features of the RAM and storage units used also contribute to this. The phone uses 8 GB of LDDR4X memory, while the storage unit is 256 GB in capacity and UFS 3.1 format. While 8 GB of RAM is more than enough for the Android 12 operating system, external storage support via microSD card is also included in the phone in case the 256 GB memory is not enough.
Also, we need to open a parenthesis on the RAM issue. vivo V25 comes with an innovative memory management technology that supports 8GB expanded RAM to optimize the user experience. The phone uses software algorithms to use portions of the idle ROM space to take over the function of RAM, increase memory, and allow more apps to run at the same time. Thus, users can seamlessly switch between multiple apps and enjoy a better user experience.
Extended RAM upgraded version from 2.0 to 3.0; It also includes some new features such as application grouping, data compression and data merging. Thanks to a more targeted system strategy, more application data can be stored with less external memory usage. This feature, which makes memory space more efficient and reduces energy consumption, takes the user experience to a new level. Testing in the vivo lab has shown that Extended RAM 3.0 can hold 50 percent more active apps in the background than previous versions. In other words, when we look at the end of the day, this phone really does its job in terms of application performance, it takes care of you to get the highest efficiency while using more than one application at the same time.
Meanwhile, vivo V25 has 5G support. The phone has Dual-Mode 5G and Dual 5G Standby support. In other words, when 5G support comes to our country, you will be able to connect to 5G networks with this phone. In addition, vivo V25 includes advanced platform optimization technologies such as 4K HDR video engine, MediaTek MiraVision HDR Video and MediaTek HyperEngine 3.0. These are all advantages of the Dimensity 900 processor at the heart of the phone. This processor, which is the product of the 6nm process process, is based on MediaTek 5G UltraSave technology in terms of energy efficiency and offers effective battery performance at the point of heavy use.
The battery capacity of the phone is at the level of 4500 mAh. With this battery capacity, you will not have any problems in daily use. It can play videos for up to 17 hours or play graphics-intensive games like PUBG for 8 hours. When it is discharged, it can be charged to 61 percent in just half an hour with 44W FlashCharge support. Thus, you can continue using the phone from where you left off in a short time.
The cameras of the phone are just as impressive. These 2 giant lenses we see on the back both look beautiful and offer successful camera capabilities. One of them is the main camera with a resolution of 64 MP with f / 1.8 aperture and 0.7 micrometer, while the other is an ultra wide-angle camera with 8 MP and f / 2.2 aperture. Right next to this duo, there is a 2 MP macro camera, and there is an LED flash on it.
The main camera has both phase detection autofocus and optical image stabilization, namely OIS. vivo defines this camera as 64 MP OIS Ultra Detection Camera. This flagship-level feature of OIS minimizes blurry images caused by shaking with its enhanced sensitivity. The OIS module compensates for the shake by moving the lens module in the opposite direction when your hand shakes while holding the phone to shoot. In this way, you can take balanced photos and videos in low light. Thus, both the image quality and the chance of successful shooting have increased significantly.
In addition, the phone also features Hybrid Image Stabilization. Combining the dual effects of OIS and EIS, this feature reduces blur caused by camera shake. You can also take advantage of this when shooting at night. Compensating for low brightness during motion in night shots, this system maximizes face and background quality by solving the problem of overexposure of dark faces and backgrounds in heavily backlit scenes in night mode.
The same is true for bokeh, ie depth of field shots. With the vivo V25, the dynamic Bokeh Flare Portrait feature blurs the image around the subject, bringing the subject to the fore. At the same time, it promotes soft and natural reflections. In addition, users can get a clearer face image and more delicate skin texture in photos. In other words, the photos you want to share from Instagram will look more beautiful than before with this camera.
In the meantime, you will see a big change in your selfie photos. Because vivo V25 has a front camera with 50 MP Eye AF Selfie feature. This front camera supports 50 MP HD Portrait, so photos taken with this camera remain clear when enlarged. By the way, when we look at the 50 MP front camera today, we do not see it on flagship smartphones. So this is really an important point that separates the vivo V25 from its high-end competitors. There is also an autofocus feature on the front camera, but unlike many models, this feature of the V25 ensures that the selfies you take are fully focused and clear, with a focus distance from 15 cm to infinity. We find that on many phones the front camera has a fixed focal length of 35cm to 40cm. vivo V25 takes this one step further. So you don’t have to stand by while taking selfies; This is how blurs are removed during movement. The eye autofocus system used in the front camera also contributes to this.
Conclusion
Yes, in conclusion, the vivo V25 is a very good model that combines successful features with a beautiful design. It’s a very new model right now, we expect it to go on sale this week. The price has not yet been clarified. We think that if it goes on sale at a good price, it will be preferred by many people.
