Vivo X50
Just like the Vivo X50 Pro, the Vivo X50 looks striking from any angle and is easily one the best looking phones I’ve seen from the company of late. It has a 6.56-inch AMOLED display with a full-HD + resolution, 90Hz refresh rate, and HDR10 + certification. Overall, the Vivo X50 is a very well-built smartphone with a premium in-hand feel.
The Vivo X50 runs the same software as the X50 Pro, Funtouch OS 10.5, based on Android 10. There’s a lot that’s packed into this custom Android skin, starting with plenty of redundant apps such as Vivo’s own app store, browser, and email client – none of which can be uninstalled.
The Vivo X50 uses the Qualcomm Snapdragon 730 SoC and performance has been nothing but great. Unlocking the phone is quick and seamless, the interface is always snappy thanks to the high-refresh-rate screen, and multitasking isn’t a problem. I found the battery life of the Vivo X50 to be more than satisfactory. Even with light gaming and camera use, I was easily getting at least a day and a half, and sometimes even up to two full days on one charge.
The main rear camera was pretty impressive overall. In daylight, landscape shots packed in plenty of detail, colors were vibrant, and exposure was balanced. There’s a bit of grain, and brightly lit areas can look overexposed, but switching to Night mode fixes both these issues.
