(Pocket-lint) – It’s only been a hot minute since Vivo put its X60 series on sale – the X60 Pro was a surprise hit when we reviewed it – but now the flagship already has a successor: the X70 series.
The Vivo X70 comes in three variants: the standard X70, the step-up X70 Pro, and the larger and altogether different X70 Pro+ offering (much like its predecessor, a comparison of which is linked below).
The key sell to the X70 series is – as it has been in recent X-series handsets – all about photography. Vivo has a partnership with Zeiss, with all three X70 devices taking on co-engineered optics for optimum quality. Crucially there’s also gimbal stabilisation – as in the camera units ‘float’ – which has been class-leading in previous model iterations.
The X70 comes with a 40-megapixel main camera, 12MP wide-angle, and 12MP portrait lens – the last of which features on all three devices in the range. The X70 Pro comes with a 50MP main camera, 12MP wide-angle, 8MP zoom, plus the portrait lens. The X70 Pro+, meanwhile, comes with the same 50MP main camera, but high-resolution 48MP wide-angle, plus the same portrait and zoom lenses.
Interestingly, Vivo is pushing harder on camera features, with Zeiss approved portrait modes donning the classic Distagon, Planar, and Sonnar lens names – each giving a distinct look in portrait mode.
While the overall design on the phones – the X70 and Pro with 6.56-inch screens as per their predecessors; the X70 Pro+ with a larger 6.78-incher – is very much like the already established X60, the innards have undergone a critical change: the entry and mid models opting for a MediaTek Dimensity 1200 processor (well, a ‘1200-vivo’ variant). The Pro+, however, opts for Qualcomm Snapdragon 888+ to help stand it apart as best-of-best.
While we expect some X70 variants to arrive in the UK eventually, exactly when is an unknown at this stage – initial product roll-out will first be aimed at the Asia-Pacific region.
