Entry-level · 2015
vivo V1
Our Take
Launched as an upper-mid phone in 2015; modern flagships are much faster
A basic entry-level phone — watch out for a smaller battery and an HD+ display.
Watch out
Smaller battery (2300mAh), HD+ display, not Full HD
Skip if
You watch a lot of video or play demanding games
