The Vivo V15 follows the alluring lines and aesthetics of its “Pro” sibling – featuring stylish colour gradients and sleek 3D curves. You can select from a choice of understated blue/black hues or dramatic black/red tones.
The all-glass front is taken up by a 6.53-inch Full HD+ display that’s protected by Gorilla Glass 5, boasting an impressive 90.95 percent screen-to-body ratio.
The minimalist front fascia is thanks to the trick pop-up front camera that vivo calls aptly “front elevating camera.” As seen on the Vivo V15 Pro and the cutting-edge Vivo NEX before this, the front camera pops-up when you select selfie mode in the camera app. When not in use, it tucks neatly back into the chassis. It was an eye-catcher last year, but to be honest, is no less “lit” in 2019.
The front camera, of course, is no wimp by any measure. I mean, do we need a 32MP selfie camera? Vivo certainly thinks so. And packed hardware isn’t all you’re getting. There’s AI to turn make you pretty (or handsome) by smoothing and thinning your face; you can play with different portrait lighting effects for a more artistic touch.
On paper, the main camera system is mighty impressive too – you’ll get a 24MP f/1.78 main sensor with Dual Pixel Focus and large 1.28 micron pixel size. This is coupled with an 8MP AI Super Wide-Angle camera and a 5MP depth camera to capture different types of moments and environments. It’s a shame there’s no telephoto thrown into the mix, but the ultra-wide lens is certainly useful.
Under the hood, the Vivo V15 runs an octa-core MediaTek P70 processor running at 2.1GHz, mated to a generous 6GB RAM and 128GB of storage.
The device comes with a large 4,000mAh battery and vivo’s Dual-Engine Fast Charging.
It runs Funtouch OS based on Android 9 Pie.
