Vivo X70 Pro Plus Review | Best Camera Phone of 2021?

Reviewing the Vivo X70 Pro Plus, one of the most premium Android smartphones of 2021, and the best camera phones around. I've been using this flagship as my personal handset all week and here's my verdict on the Vivo X70 Pro Plus, including gaming performance, battery life, the works.
The highlight here is certainly that camera tech. Top-end hardware including a Samsung sensor, 5-axis gimbal stabilisation and Zeiss T* glass combine with the V1 image processing chip to produce some of the best photos and video I've captured this year. Performance is also superior to most smartphone rivals - the Vivo X70 Pro Plus can handle any Android game. Battery life is strong too, while the mighty display and stereo speakers are ideal for video.
My complaints with this Vivo phone are few. FunTouch is not for everyone, while there's too much crapware piled on here. Plus, the lack of a headphone jack and expandable storage is a real shame.

Very Interesting about X70 pro plus and your videos sir 👍🏻

[@RenjithMohandas]

Thanks for the review. How long would Vivo be supporting this model with Android updates? Is there any commitment from them on this.

[@MrVeeBlog]

Very nice phone. A real flagship. Great review.

Very nice review, are the movie clips done in Priory Gardens in Orpington?

[@lauryboy81]

Nice review... Detailed enough for me to take a decision. 😊👍🏻

[@KR-jg7gc]

Lol this phone is better than iPhone. This is the king of 2021 so far. I think mrwhostheboss compared pictures of this and the iPhone 13.. not even a close contest.

[@deanthompson4381]

Chris, another great review on a very proper phone. A question, with all the phones that you review in a month, could you reveal who you're phone carrier is and what you are paying each month? A question that I think about with every reviewer on KZbin. Also, what happens to all the tech after your reviews? Thanks, Cheers.

[@dairokkan.sg2]

Might wanna ask that on the TSW so that you get an answer in next week's episode.

[@Hulkhead]

Nice phone and a great video as always. How much is this beast?

[@LH-gp6xb]

Great reviews! I'm thinking of getting one and I'm based in the UK as well. I saw the Chinese version sold on some websites but Google Pay isn't installed. I was told by the seller that I will need to factory reset and install it. Will that be an issue? I'm worried that it might not work even after reset. Thank you.

[@GAli92]

Brilliant review, feel like this is the the phone I've been waiting for, following the P30 pro in my pocket... Any idea on where you can get this in the UK?

[@nickbryan2587]

You can't and Vivo say they have no plans in doing so. I'm looking at wonda mobile to import one but there's no support from Vivo UK if I do.

@@nickbryan2587 did you manage to get one? If yes where did you import it from and what websites are there where I can buy it?

[@nickbryan2587]

@@sbrensbeve2388 no I didn't I went for a Xiaomi mi 11 ultra that I imported from wonda mobile. I would recommend wonda highly the delivered quick with no problems. The the was set up in Chinese and took a bit of playing with to get it working. I followed instructions online and flashed EU ROM which I think was a mistake as I now have to download and install updates with a pc, actually the Chinese ROM was usable after I installed a UK keyboard and would have given better results. I think they still have Vivo in stock, check them out

I would make the X70 Pro Plus the platform for Vivo to take off into the Ultra Flagship territory. The X80 Pro Plus will be the one which Vivo will take its gloves off.

What site did you order from ?

[@ReinoldFZ]

I love Zeiss. But because I love it I suspect I'd rather should get Zeiss for at least aps-c to do them justice. I don't say it as criticism, the photos have beautiful colors indeed.

[@fatfreddyscoat7564]

Mrwhosetheboss is the only person who covered some of the extra fun camera settings on this phone and the image processing chip that handles it - really disappointed that they’ve been missed on yet another review: it’s stuff like that that differentiates this camera and phone from iPhone which is efficient but boring, I wish you’d covered it, instead of just another bland “it takes nice photos” review.
