Vivo V25 Pro First impressions: subtle improvements

Vivo's V23 Pro was launched earlier this year and certainly looked the part. It was a sleek and stylish smartphone that looked premium but only delivered mid-range performance. The trick of the party was the unique color-changing back panel, which changed from gold to blue when exposed to UV light. It was also the only smartphone with a curved edge display in its segment, adding to its style quotient. But this attention to design came at the cost of average battery life and camera performance.


With the new V25 Pro, Vivo seems to apply the same logic as the V23 Pro, but this time it feels a little more practical. The phone has been made thicker (with a bigger battery) and comes with an improved processor, a better camera and still offers a curved edge display to keep it in line with its predecessor. At first glance, it seems that Vivo did a good job justifying the asking price.

However, the competition has changed dramatically since February this year, with smartphones like the Nothing Phone 1 (Review) entering the segment, featuring pure Android software, a unique design, wireless charging, an IP rating, and an action-packed camera among them. little light . So how's the Vivo V25 Pro going? I've been using the phone for a while now and here are my first impressions.

The Vivo V25 Pro has a polycarbonate frame with an anti-reflective glass panel. Vivo V25 Pro is available in two variants in India. There is a base variant with 8 GB of RAM and 128 GB of storage, priced at Rs. 35,999, and another with 12GB of RAM and 256GB of storage at Rs. 39,999. There are two finishes to choose from, Pure Black and Sailing Blue. As mentioned, the phone has become thicker and no longer as thin as the V23 Pro, but more in line with OnePlus' Nord 2T 5G (review)

It's also heavier, thanks in large part to the increased battery capacity, as the phone's frame is still polycarbonate with a glossy, chrome-like finish. The back panel is made of color-changing anti-reflective glass, which looks very good at repelling fingerprints. One thing to keep in mind is that only Sailing Blue outfits can change color. The color changes aren't as dramatic as last year's V23 Pro, as the color changes from a lighter shade of blue to a darker shade when exposed to UV light.


The top and bottom edges of the phone are noticeably thicker than the previous model and reminded me of the Vivo X80 Pro (Review) which also had similar design features with a flat window on the top edge. The layout of the rear camera doesn't stand out much (as the phone itself has gotten thicker) and looks much simpler compared to the V23 Pro's striking all-metal module.

The Vivo V25 Pro, like its predecessor, changes color, but the change is quite subtle. A detail that seemed a bit dated on the V23 Pro was the middle part of the screen with the two selfie cameras. Vivo has now reduced that number to one and squeezed it into a cavity that looks much nicer and less distracting. The 6.56-inch curved-edge screen has thin bezels around it. It is an AMOLED panel that supports a refresh rate up to 120 Hz and a sample rate up to 300 Hz with touch. This is a step up from the V23 Pro's 90Hz panel and should come in handy when gaming.

The Vivo V25 Pro gets a MediaTek Dimensity 1300 SoC, which is also available on the OnePlus Nord 2T 5G. This SoC performed well in our tests and I expect similar performance in the Vivo V25 Pro as well. The battery capacity has been increased from 4,300 mAh (on the V23 Pro) to 4,830 mAh, which is nice to have, as the V23 Pro had no battery life in daily use. Another thing that has been improved is the charger, which is 66W from the previous 44W.

The Vivo V25 Pro's cameras have also seen some significant improvements. The former 108-megapixel main camera has been downgraded to a 64-megapixel unit in resolution, but gets optical image stabilization (OIS), which should theoretically improve low-light performance. The 8 megapixel ultra wide-angle camera and 2-megapixel macro camera seem the same as before. The 50-megapixel selfie camera on the V23 Pro has also seen a downgrade from the 32-megapixel camera on the V25 Pro, but thankfully retains autofocus.
