Vivo V19 Neo

It has been a while since Vivo released a V-series smartphone. The latest V-series phone, the V17 Pro, was one of the first phones to innovate in the mid-range segment sporting a pop-up dual front camera setup. The V19 Neo is the newest member of the V-series and hopes to live up to expectations set by its predecessor.

DESIGN

Vivo has always created some of the best looking phones in the market. The V19 Neo follows the current trend of a gradient color scheme at the back. Vivo gave us the crystal white colors scheme which I believe is the better color scheme between the two color variants.

The Vivo V19 Neo has a 6.44-inch Super AMOLED display with a 2400 x 1080 resolution and 20:9 ratio. On the upper right corner of the screen is the single punch-hole front camera while at the rear is the rectangular quad-camera set-up. On top of the phone is a mic hole, on the left side of the phone, are the sim card and memory card slots. On the right is the volume rocker and power button, and on the bottom are the USB Type-C port, another mic hole, the 3.5 mm jack, and the downward-firing speakers.

HARDWARE

The Vivo V19 Neo is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 675 processor with an Adreno 612 GPU. Our unit had 8GB of RAM and 128 of internal memory. Gaming was fun with the V19 Neo, heavy games such as PUBG Mobile, Call of Duty: Mobile ran at high settings without any frame drops.

Most noteworthy in the Vivo V19 Neo are its cameras. The device has a 32-megapixel front camera and a quad-camera set-up at the back. It has a 48-megapixel main shooter, an 8-megapixel ultra-wide secondary camera, a 2-megapixel macro lens, and a 2-megapixel depth sensor.
