Vivo‘s upcoming luxury-looking mid-range contender, the Vivo V25 Pro, is due to launch this Wednesday, August 17 in India and will go on sale in the country on August 25. 

Many features and specifications of Vivo‘s next higher-end mid-ranger, have already surfaced online since last month, and here, at Gizmochina, we have compiled all the details you need to know about the Vivo V25 Pro before its official launch this Wednesday. 

Vivo V25 Pro Design and Build

Let’s start with the design. The Vivo V25 Pro is expected to launch with a more premium chassis than its predecessors. 

It will feature a matte glass rear panel that features Vivo‘s signature Flourite AG Matte Glass material engineering expertise, found on last year’s Vivo V23 Pro. The Chinese smartphone maker claims that the colour science behind the uniquely painted glass allows it to change colours depending on how sunlight and UV rays hit the back panel of the smartphone. 

The side rails of the Vivo V25 Pro are also matte as well, giving the smartphone a grippier feel when handling it outdoors. 

On the front of the Vivo V25 Pro, Vivo themselves have confirmed that the device has been revamped with a curved screen design. The Vivo V25 Pro will feature a 3D curved AMOLED Display with a centre-aligned punch hole cutout that will have a Full HD+ resolution and support a 120Hz high refresh rate. 

The device is expected to launch in 2 premium and attractive colour options: Midsummer Blue and Black. 

Vivo V25 Pro Specifications and Pricing

The engine behind the Vivo V25 Pro is the mid-range MediaTek Dimensity 1300 SoC, the same processor found on Vivo’s more popular cousins, the OnePlus Nord 2T and Oppo Reno 8.

It will pack 8GB of onboard RAM that will be extendable with Vivo‘s virtual RAM technology. Storage options, the Vivo V25 Pro could come with either 128 GB or 256GB of storage. The smartphone will draw its power from a 4,830mAh battery unit with support for Vivo’s 66W wired fast charging. 

Camera-wise, earlier leaks indicated that the Vivo V25 Pro is sporting a triple camera setup that features a 64 MP main sensor with optical image stabilisation (OIS), The secondary rear camera is an ultrawide sensor and will likely offer Electronic Image Stabilization (EIS). Switching to the front, the Vivo V25 Pro will supposedly feature a 32 MP Eye AF selfie shooter as the front-facing camera.

On the software front, it will boot Funtouch OS 12.1 based on Android 12.

The smartphone is believed to cost less than 40,000 INR (roughly 509 US Dollars) in the Indian market. For more details regarding the camera and pricing of the Vivo V25 Pro, stay tuned to our coverage of the launch this Wednesday on Gizmochina!

Chinese smartphone maker vivo is all set to launch the vivo X70 series in India on September 30. Just like the previous generation, the latest-gen will be slightly different than the original models sold in China. One of the devices in the lineup for India has now leaked in live images revealing the software it will be debuting with.

A tipster who goes by the name of @Gadgetsdata (Debayan Roy) on Twitter has shared live pictures of the yet-to-release Indian variant of the vivo X70 Pro. The images tweeted by him showcase the phone in two colors (Nebula, Black).

Most importantly, one of the three images confirms that the handset will run the newly unveiled Funtouch OS 12. However, despite the number 12 in the name, the software will be based on Android 11.

Further, the same image also confirms that the device will be powered by a MediaTek Dimensity 1200-vivo chipset. This particular variant has 8GB physical RAM, 4GB virtual RAM and 256GB internal storage.

For those unaware, the original vivo X70 Pro sold in China features a Samsung Exynos 1080 SoC, while the vanilla vivo X70 uses the custom MediaTek Dimensity 1200-vivo. Another difference is that the OG model runs OriginOS instead of Funtouch OS 12.

At the moment, we are not sure in what other ways the Indian variant of the vivo X70 Pro will differ from the Chinese version. But we expect to learn more about it before the device’s official announcement on September 30.

Vivo, like many other manufacturers, has its own custom Android fork. Called Funtouch OS, the custom UI has powered Vivo phones for years. However, last year, Vivo unveiled a new UI dubbed OriginOS that has replaced Funtouch OS for devices sold in China. An earlier report had erroneously said that OriginOS will get a global debut when the Vivo X70 series launches, but that won’t be the case as Vivo has quietly unveiled Funtouch OS 12.

The Funtouch OS 12 page is now live on the Vivo India website and it reveals some of the new features it is bringing to Vivo phones.

One of the new features coming to Funtouch OS is a redesigned widget system. The design of the new widgets appears to have been carried over from OriginOS. They are more functional and Vivo claims they should help users be more productive.

Another feature is the Nano Music Player that is sort of a mini-player for controlling playback from Spotify, Joox, or files from your local storage.

Last but not least is Extended RAM, a feature that has become increasingly popular on a lot of phones these days. With Extended RAM, the phone allocates part of the ROM storage (up to 4GB) to the RAM space so apps can run a bit more smoothly.

We expect more details will be revealed on September 22 when Vivo plans to announce the X70 series globally. We should also get details about current phones that will receive the update and when to expect them.
