Vivo X70 Pro Plus vs X70 Pro | Unboxing & Full Comparison

Unboxing the Vivo X70 Pro Plus and standard Pro, with a hands-on review and comparison of the camera tech, gaming performance, software, specs and beyond. The more premium X70 Pro Plus offers a lot of upgrades vs the standard Vivo flagship, including improved speed, more capable cameras and faster battery charging. Here's my early impressions and a full Pro+ review is coming soon!
As usual, the big feature here is that Zeiss-branded camera tech with 5-axis gimbal stabilisation and 3x zoom lens. You get a different sensor setup on the most premium smartphone, with improved low light and bright light performance. Plus you can shoot 8K video, if that's your bag.
Performance is strong on both, with the Vivo X70 Pro Plus boasting a Snapdragon 888 Plus chipset (vs the Dimensity 1200 of its sibling). Gaming is a breeze on either, with no troublesome heat build-up.
Battery life is also great on both of these phones; you'll happily get a full day of use from either, while the X70 Pro Plus sports 50W wireless charging.

Thanks for watching this Vivo X70 Pro series unboxing! Full review of the Pro Plus is coming on Saturday

[@lauriemueni3454]

I can't wait! This phone has blown my mind.

[@foysalGrz]

@tech spurt will this be available in the UK anytime soon? Please let me know

[@TTWGD3]

Sunderland looking good, hope they can advance in the League Cup and get promoted, also I really wish this phone was available in the States.

[@SIPEROTH]

So am gonna criticize you. You made it sound like we can pretty much delete the bloatware when many apps are not removable. Be more detailed and say such things instead of just trying to talk fast and seem cool.

[@nickbryan2587]

@@foysalGrz I asked Vivo and they said they had no plans for either in the UK which is a shame. I note that in this video there's a UK 3 pin plug in the box.

[@SonyGirl1969]

Šta reći, osim bravo ! Hvala na unboxingu, pošto je Vivo tek stigao u moju zemlju i još nije predstavljen ovaj model kojim sam oduševljena i koji ću zahvaljujući Vašoj prezentaciji kupiti čim se pojavi. Cena nije bitna, ja jednostavno volim IT tehnologiju, smartphone i menjam ih na 2- 3 meseca, osim flegšipa koje kupim svake druge ili treće godine. Flegšip kao primarni, srednju klasu kao sekundarni. Nikada nisam imala od brenda Vivo i jedva čekam da ga nabavim. Najbolji ste ! ❤️

[@andrewjohnson1486]

I think the one that turns out better at the cost is X70 Pro with the Mediatek Dimensity 1200 chipset. It also has really good cameras.

[@harsh-ze2xw]

It is the most perfect video,it helped me to clearfy my doubts for pro series but now I am pretty sure that pro is good too

[@jasoncampbell6222]

The X70 Pro Plus is the one that tempts me more than anything currently out there, the dedicated noise reduction chip would be ideal for taking astro-photography would mean a hell of a lot less editing in LR to remove that pesky noise.

[@TechSpurt]

Definitely impressed by the low light results, although anything moving usually comes out blurry as usual

[@treethoown6414]

Agreed. That specialized chip, gimbal, and amazing night capability really make it tasty for a mobile photography entusiast. Last thing missing is solid focus on zoom

[@colinscotland2887]

@@TechSpurt I just bought a Vivo X70 Pro Plus, I have not had it outside yet, I just use it in the house but when I try the 4 Zeiss effects, it does not have the background bokeh swirl effect which I see on some videos and can you change the app icons from round circles to square style app icons.

Great review! I like the fact that other manufacturers besides Nokia and Sony are partnering up with the (Carl) Zeiss company for the cameras. It really does make a difference in the quality.

[@MrStanopolak]

i remember when i had the nokia n82 :D what a great 5mpx photomobile machine xD and the xenon flash was just cherry on top..beside the phone being plastic...was a good phone

Great review as always

[@Mr_Penguins_Pet_Human]

I like that you and Aaron (mrwhostheboss) focused on different aspects of this phone and thus giving us more overall info.

[@barbaralaing4114]

The two phones both appear to offer excellent specs and promise a great user experience. Whatever the price difference is between the two it's probably justified, the improvements offered by the pro plus make for a genuine flagship phone. I expect they're both out of my price range so just watching to enjoy your presentation as always and to keep my finger on the pulse as it were. The one thing that I'm not sure about with these phones is the ongoing support that they will get. The Chinese companies are improving on the support front but it can be a bit hit & miss still. Thank you for your video.

[@vibhupande]

Vivo just dropped a massive 4.5gb update for the x60 series which upgrades to Android 12 and massively improves the camera.. seems worth its word so far

[@theneosuperzero]

@@andrewx8888 1) better telephoto is debatable. Samsung might have more zoom, but at the same distance, I personally think X70 does a better job. You can't be wrong with one of the best camera out there. Samsung has larger sensor, but it doesn't translate well. And not everything on paper is better just because they're bigger. If that's the case, Apple will gone bankrupt long ago. 2) 12gb of RAM is an overkill, when 8gb is actually more than enough. I did a lot of multitasking and most of the apps will close itself even if you didn't clear it. 3) For better support, yes, I do agree. Most Chinese phone tend to give only 2 major updates before eventually calling it quit, which sucks a lot. But Android in general sucks at update. That's the only downside if you compare it to Apple. Even if Apple sells a lot, they also give update to phone that were 5-6 years old. The only reason why I brought up Apple in this is because of how bad the support for Android is, I hate it.

But why would they then send the model to UK reviewers if they're not planing on launching it in europe? :( Also, while it would be possible to buy it from China, that would be shipped with origin os. Any way to get your version with funtouch os somewhere? Thanks for any help you can give, really want this phone but vivo isn't making it easy for me to buy which is such a backward situation haha

[@bowieknife]

I believe just make sure you get the "international version" to get fun touch os. I also believe there is a switch in the settings of the China version with origin os to switch to fun touch and vice versa. (I saw it mentioned somewhere in a review)
