Vivo X50 Pro smartphone review

Vivo X50 Pro is a middle -class phone related to a higher level of this range. For about $ 670, you get a crystalline screen, 5G, a powerful battery, a fast display and a capacious battery. The camera favorably distinguishes it from competitors.

X50 Pro is the world's first mass production phone with a built -in cardan chamber system, which allows you to shoot smooth quick video with one button press. Of the three Vivo X50 phones, which the Chinese manufacturer advertises as the flagship of professional photography, the X50 Pro is the only one that boasts this futuristic function. But Vivo still compromised. For example, it does not have stereodinics (there is a large drawback for music lovers like me), it is not waterproof, like many phones of this class. It also has a middle -level processor (Snapdragon 765G) instead of the most modern available chipset.

If you are not worried about the shooting of militants, you better buy the basic Vivo X50 or OnePlus Nord. Both have comparable characteristics, but do not charge an additional fee for advanced stabilizers of video and equipment. X50 and Nord are equipped with a system with four cameras, led by 48-megapixel, the same set of microcircuits and a fast display, but cost almost $ 100-200 cheaper.

Vivo does not plan to officially release the phone in the United States. X50 phones were released in Asia and Europe, so they will be easily imported. Prices also vary depending on the country, and in Western countries the cost is higher. In India, the basic version (with 8 GB of RAM and 128 GB of memory) begins with 49,990 rupees (approximately $ 670, 510 pounds or 930 Australian dollars), and in eastern Europe - from the equivalent of $ 780.

X50 Pro has several rear cameras. The entire installation uses a system similar to a suspension and a combination of optical stabilization of the image and electronic stabilization of the image to create an incredibly stable video. Vivo states that its cardan system reduces shattering to three times compared to the traditional stabilization technology, thanks to the “design with two balls”, which allows it to rotate through three axes.

I shot a bunch of video in different lighting conditions to see how well the X50 Pro combines with another phone known for its video cameras, the iPhone 11 Pro Max. In short, X50 Pro showed himself very well. When I recorded a video while walking in daylight and panoramed cameras from side to side, I did not notice the big difference between the two phones. Both took off stable shots without obvious jerks.

The X50 Pro screen has a higher update frequency of 90 Hz than most phones with 60 Hz displays. He offers smooth and smooth work that I really like it, although it is not as high as screens with a frequency of 120 Hz on OnePlus 8 Pro and Galaxy S20.
