the company announced this phone on the 9th of September, and they made a lot of claims. now that the phone is officially out. we will be the judges of whether they pulled through or not.

Here's what we knew before the official release:

it should support Fast charging at 55W, Fast wireless charging at 50W, Reverse wireless charging and reverse charging. it equipped with a Li-Po 4500 mAh, non-removable battery.

Now let's see if the phone is equipped with these features:

The Vivo X70 Pro+ international model is offered only in Enigma Black color, unlike its Chinese versions that come in Orange and Blue shades as well, with gorgeous vegan leather backs.

The X70 Pro+ comes in a square-shaped box that looks quite premium and has a leather-like finish. Inside it has a 55W charger, USB-C cable, USB-C earphones, 3.5mm headphone jack adapter, a protective case, SIM ejector tool, and the usual paperwork.

It has a peak brightness of 1,500 nits. It has a hole in the center of the top of the screen for the 32MP selfie camera and a fingerprint reader underneath for biometric authentication.

The back panel of the Enigma Black X70 Pro+ is built with the new Fluorite AG technology which gives it an almost satin feel in the hands. The X70 Pro+ only has one color option in the global markets because Vivo said they adopted a one-color-flagship idea for the phone, and since the company is not bringing the leatherback versions outside China, they decided to make up for it by adding a protective case with a leather-like finish to the box.

let's talk about the big camera island on it that quickly catches attention. It has a 50MP primary, 48MP ultrawide, 12MP portrait, and 8MP periscope, just as promised. The primary camera comes with OIS and uses the Ultra-Sensing GN1 sensor, while the ultrawide comes with a gimbal, which can be used for stable photos and videos.

On the right side of the cameras is the Ceramic Cloud Window, which could double as a self-portrait mirror if you want to capture selfies with the main camera. The smartphone also has Vivo's self-developed V1 Imaging Chip and comes with ZEISS enhancements.

Inside it has the Snapdragon 888+ SoC, paired with 12GB RAM and 256GB storage. It also comes with the Extended RAM feature, which lets you add up to 4GB of RAM virtually from the internal storage.

The X70 Pro+ runs Android 11-based Funtouch OS 12 straight out of the box, and Vivo has confirmed that global models aren't getting OriginOS any soon. The company also didn't tell us anything about the software support we should expect for the X70 Pro+.

The Snapdragon 888 Plus-powered smartphone is IP68 dust and water-resistant, it also features stereo speakers, and packs a 4,500 mAh battery that charges through a USB-C port at up to 55W. The smartphone also supports 10W reverse wireless charging and 50W wireless charging, but you'll have to buy the compatible wireless charger from Vivo separately since it's not a part of the retail package. vivo told us the X70 Pro+ will charge through other third-party wireless chargers, but the charging speeds will vary.

Overall, it's an amazing phone and is an android flagship that's going to be high on the market. from the awesome camera, premium design, good battery, exceptional ram, and good charging capabilities. it's definitely worth a look if you're looking for a good phone with a top-tier camera.
