On the top of this list is the Vivo V70 Elite that is more advanced with higher performance, superior camera equipment, and larger battery than the standard model. On paper, it represents a combination of strength and gloss. But what is its performance in everyday use? Here’s our detailed review of the Vivo V70 Elite.

An In-Depth Review on Vivo V70 Elite

Need a high quality smartphone that performs well, has a long battery life, and takes great pictures at a reasonable price in Bangladesh? Vivo V70 Elite is the most powerful phone in the V70 series with a stylish design and powerful hardware.

It has an eye-catching OLED screen, flagship-level Snapdragon processor, and a big battery with rapid charging that can be used every day. Vivo also improves the experience with the refined software and ZEISS-tuned cameras that are more focused on portrait and zoom photography. We shall discuss in this review whether the Vivo V70 Elite is really worth the flagship value.

Box Content

This is what you get inside the Vivo V70 Elite box:

• Vivo V70 Elite Smartphone
• 90W Fast Charger
• USB Type-C cable
• Protective Case
• SIM ejector tool
• User manual

The Vivo V70 Elite is a smartphone that is well packaged in a smartphone box with a protective cover and other necessary accessories. Vivo comes with a 90W fast charging adapter and USB Type-C cable to utilize the capability of the phone to charge fast. Included are also a SIM ejector tool and standard documentation including the quick start guide and warranty card. In general, the box contents are convenient and include all that is necessary to begin using the device immediately.

Design & Build Quality

The Vivo V70 Elite was designed in such a way that one gets an immediate feeling that it is a phone that is targeting a higher-end audience. The instant you pick it, the thin profile and the equal weight give it a comfortable feel in the hand. The 6.59 inch form factor of the phone is able to make it feel immersive without making it hard to use with one hand. The smooth edges and flat frame also enhance the grip and provide the device with a modern and sophisticated appearance.

We were in Passion Red, a color that is not very flashy. It is smooth and sophisticated in sound, which is bound to attract. Vivo also provides the device in Sand Beige and Authentic Black where users have a choice of whether to go bold or rather subtle.

Regarding the construction, Vivo has employed a glass front, aluminum alloy frame, and a glass or fiber-reinforced plastic rear case, which contributes to the phone feeling durable and high-quality. The height of the phone is 157.5 mm and the width is 74.3 mm and the thickness of the phone is 7.4 mm on the Authentic Black and 7.6 mm on the other colors. The device is fairly lightweight, however, due to the solid construction, it is 187 grams or 194 grams, depending on the variant.

Another good feature is durability. The V70 Elite has both IP68 and IP69, which implies that it is highly dust resistant and can withstand water up to 1.5 meters and last up to 30 minutes. This protection is normally found in more costly flagship devices and is therefore a welcome inclusion here.

Display

The display of the Vivo V70 Elite is definitely one of its best attributes. Vivo has chosen a flat AMOLED panel that is a sensible and convenient decision in contrast to curved displays. The phone has a screen size of 6.59 inches with a resolution of 1260 x 2750 pixels producing clear images at a pixel density of approximately 459 ppi. Whether you are scrolling the social network, watching videos, or browsing the internet, the display is sharp and clear.

The screen has a 120Hz refresh rate, and it ensures that the animations remain smooth and responsive across the interface. Although certain phones in this category are beginning to offer 144Hz or even 165Hz displays, the difference is not noticeable in the majority of applications. The 120Hz implementation of the V70 Elite is smooth and fluid in everyday use.

Another strength is brightness. The screen has a brightness that reaches up to 5000 nits and it is still clear even in daylight. The AMOLED technology makes colors look bright and the presence of HDR10+ support is used to enhance contrast and dynamic range of viewing supported content.

The phone also has Schott Xensation Core protection, which provides durability to the phone against scratches and minor impacts. Thin bezels and a punch-hole camera on the front of the phone add to the screen-to-body ratio of 90.85, which makes the viewing experience immersive without bulking the device.

Camera

Vivo has always been known to feature cameras in their V-series and Vivo V70 Elite does not break the tradition with a ZEISS-tuned triple-camera setup. It is equipped with a 50MP primary sensor, a 50MP periscope telephoto lens, and an 8MP ultra-wide camera. Vivo also includes a 50MP selfie camera with a wide field of view on the front, which is appropriate both to take individual photos and to take group selfies.

Daylight Photo:

The 50MP primary camera works well in daily photography. When it is light, the images are sharp with high contrast and bright colours. The image processing of Vivo is slightly tilted towards richer colors, which make the photos more attractive to share on social media. The camera also has good control over dynamic range and highlights and shadows are fairly balanced in most daylight conditions.

Low-light Photo:

Low-light photography is also quite well-grounded. The primary sensor is able to maintain a reasonable amount of detail and colour, and Night mode assists in illuminating darker images and minimising noise. The treatment of light sources is also fairly good, and there are instances where some of the images may seem a bit contrast-heavy depending on the setting.

One of the more interesting aspects of the camera set up is the 50MP periscope telephoto lens. It has 3x optical zoom which enables you to take portraits and distant objects without losing much of their details. The portrait photographs usually appear attractive, with separation of the subject and blur of the background. The edge detection in Vivo is rather precise, which allows the subject to be visible against the background.

In the wider scenes, the 8MP ultra-wide camera gives a wider view. Although not as detailed as the main sensor, it still is good enough to capture landscapes, architecture, and group shots. Distortion control is also done quite well without edges showing stretched out.

On the video front, the Vivo V70 Elite has a 4K recording at 30fps on the rear and front cameras. The quality of video is constant and sharp, and OIS is used to minimize the shaking of the handheld recording. Other features of Vivo are Dual Video recording, Vlog Mode and Bokeh portrait video, which provide the user with more creative choices when recording the content.

Performance & Software

The Qualcomm Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 chipset that drives performance on the Vivo V70 Elite is on the border of flagship performance and provides a significant improvement over the processors found in the average mid-range. The chip is based on a 3nm architecture, which integrates a Cortex-X4 prime core, several Cortex-A720 performance cores, and Cortex-A520 efficiency cores, with the Adreno 735 GPU. In the real-life application, it translates to a phone that is fast, responsive and able to perform tasks that would otherwise demand a lot of effort with little effort.

The V70 Elite does not experience any noticeable slowdowns in its regular operations such as browsing, social media, video streaming, and multitasking. The apps are fast to open and the transition between them is smooth. The gaming performance is also rather good. Popular titles can be used with stable frame rates and thermal management is also controlled when using the device over extended periods of time, without it becoming too hot.

Software wise, the phone operates on Android 16 and OriginOS 6 that delivers a significantly polished experience. The interface is more polished and smooth than the older versions of Vivo software. The animations are soft, the menu is neatly arranged, and the overall user interface is clean and modern.

OriginOS 6 also comes with a number of customization features, such as dynamic wallpapers and more personalization features that make the phone seem more personal to the user. With these additions, the interface is nevertheless user friendly and receptive.

AnTuTu Benchmark & Geekbench Score

As far as benchmark performance is concerned, the Vivo V70 Elite has results that clearly indicate that it belongs to the upper-performance category within the modern smartphones. The device has a Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 chipset, which provides an AnTuTu benchmark score of approximately 1.8 million points, which means that it performs well in terms of CPU, graphics, memory, and user experience benchmarks.

The phone has a score of about 1,973 in the single-core test and 4,863 in the multi-core test in the CPU-centric Geekbench test. These figures are indicative of the performance of the Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 chip and indicate that the phone can comfortably support the heavy load of demanding applications, multi-tasking, and gaming. 

Battery & Charger

The Vivo V70 Elite has a 6,500mAh battery, and this is also one of the highest capacities in the segment. Although there are more recent smartphones that are beginning to push with 7,000mAh batteries, the implementation of Vivo still provides a dependable daily usage.

Practically, the battery can be easily used during a whole day and with moderate or heavy use. Social media browsing, video viewing, navigation, and music streaming do not appear to be very battery-consuming. In testing, the phone was able to run approximately 15 hours on the PCMark battery test, which is not bad performance and indicates that the device is highly optimized to be used on a sustained basis.

The charging is managed by 90W wired fast charging that minimizes downtime to a great extent. The battery is large and the provided charger can fill it in a few minutes, restoring the phone, which was at about 20 percent of charge, to 100 percent in about 40 minutes. This is convenient to the users who require a fast top-up before going out.

The phone has a USB Type-C 2.0 connection, and the battery itself is not removable, which is typical of the majority of recent smartphones.

Vivo V70 Elite Price in Bangladesh

Vivo V70 Elite price in Bangladesh is BDT 85,000 (unofficial) in the 8GB RAM and 256GB storage model. The 12GB + 256GB will be priced at BDT 90,000, and the more expensive 12GB + 512GB will go up to BDT 100,000 in the grey market.

The prices will differ depending on importers and retailers since the device is not officially launched in Bangladesh yet. Despite this, the pricing will put the Vivo V70 Elite squarely within the high-end smart phone market, competing with a number of high mid-range and flagship-level phones in the market.

Final Word

Vivo V70 Elite provides a balanced smartphone experience with its high-end design, colorful AMOLED screen, powerful ZEISS-tuned lenses, and powerful performance. It does not necessarily pursue benchmark records, but it aims at providing a stable and comfortable daily experience. Along with its huge battery and quick charge, the phone is able to offer a strong balance between the style, performance and practicality to users who want a high end Android phone.
