The cameras take decent quality images. The color reproduction is natural and crisp. Vivo has tried its best to make the images look good with its AI settings.
The device has a 4030mAh battery that lasts you for almost a day and a half which is good and the lack of a fast charger on the device hits hard as it takes around 3 hours to fully charge from 0-100.
