Android’s popularity in China can only be described as strength in numbers. Just look at how many Android phones are announced every year by the various brands. There are so many models that we miss some sometimes. The Vivo S series is one of those we missed before, but this […]
Not everyone has 4,199 yuan or more lying around, and that’s why the iQOO Neo11 exists. To be honest, after going through the specs, I’m not quite sure why anyone would drop the money for the iQOO 15. Let’s just say that the Neo11 is possibly the flagship of the […]
It appears that there is only one gaming phone brand left in the market, but the truth is that while dedicated brands have kinda died off, the spirit of gaming phones remains in mainstream brands. The iQOO 15 series is one such gaming phone from Vivo’s sub-brand, iQOO. Billed as […]
Oppo is not in the 200 MP camera race against itself. Prior to the Oppo Find X9 Series being revealed with a 200 MP telephoto snapper co-developed with Hasselblad, Vivo’s X300 Series already had a device with a 200 MP primary HPB sensor. 200 MP isn’t new, but there appears […]

On October 14, Vivo took the stage to unveil the X200 series—a follow-up to its imaging flagship smartphone and a lineup that makes you wonder if there’s anything it can’t do. With three models to choose from, Vivo packs each with cutting-edge features, Zeiss-tuned cameras, and chip-tech wizardry—all for the […]

We may have failed to mention that the Vivo X100 and X100 Pro announced last December are AI phones imbued with a Large Language Model (LLM) called BlueLM. These handsets, which are powered by a Dimensity 9300 tuned for the Vivo X100 series, work in sync with Vivo’s self-developed BlueCrystal […]
