The company says that the phone is the slimmest smartphone in the 5500mAh battery category. The phone also boasts a powerful camera setup in collaboration with Zeiss. It is available in two storage variants and two colour options. We, at Business Insider India, received the 256GB storage variant in Titanium Grey colour for review. <div type="image" title="9" msid="113455659" hostid="261" sizebytes="1152461"></div> I have been using the phone for nearly a month and have absolutely loved the experience so far. So, is the Vivo V40 Pro as promising in real-life as much as it looks on the specs sheet? Read on to find out. <h2><keyword id="22642110" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Vivo-V40-Pro-review" source="Orion">Vivo V40 Pro review</keyword>: Design and display</h2> When I first looked at the phone, I couldn’t help but marvel at how gorgeous it looks. The phone boasts a sleek and modern design that feels great in hand, thanks to its curved front and back glass panels, which effortlessly blend into the rounded frame. The phone also comes with curved edges and a super smooth back panel. <div type="image" title="Vivo V40 Pro comes with great in-hand feel" msid="113455684" hostid="261" sizebytes="1068611" caption="&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Vivo V40 Pro comes with great in-hand feel&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;"></div> However, this also means that the phone tends to slip off of your hands easily. Hence, I would recommend using it with the back cover on always. The Titanium Grey colour makes it look like it belongs in a conference room and is built for serious business. I am a fan of minimalist designs and if that’s what you prefer in a phone, you will love the design language of the V40 Pro. The camera module at the back mimics a pendulum, with two cameras neatly positioned in a circular arrangement at the top, while a third camera and a distinctive aura LED ring complete the look in the bottom module. The symmetrical, artistic design of the camera module adds to the phone’s elegance. Then there’s the usual Vivo branding on the left and Zeiss branding placed within the camera module. On the right edge, there is a power button and volume buttons. The placing of these buttons is spot on as I could easily turn the volume up and down using my thumb while holding the phone. The bottom edge has the Type-C charging port and speakers along with the SIM tray. On the front, the phone comes with a 6.78-inch FHD+ AMOLED display paired with a 120Hz refresh rate. The display is surrounded by slim bezels that result in an immersive experience and also has a punch-hole notch which enhances the experience. The display comes with a peak brightness of 4,500 nits. Even while using the phone in peak sunlight outdoors, I didn’t face any issues as the screen was bright enough. <div type="image" title="Vivo V40 Pro sports a sharp display" msid="113455708" hostid="261" sizebytes="1218993" caption="&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Vivo V40 Pro sports a sharp display&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;"></div> The display is crisp, clear and has vibrant colours, which are perfect for watching your favourite shows and movies on various OTT platforms. I watched a couple of episodes of The Modern Family and The Walking Dead on Netflix and loved the experience. <h2>Vivo V40 Pro review: Software, performance and battery</h2> When it comes to performance, the V40 Pro meets expectations. The phone is powered by the Mediatek Dimensity 9200+ processor and everyday tasks feel smooth and seamless. Whether you're making calls, jotting down notes in a meeting, editing photos in Adobe Lightroom, or playing games, the phone can take care of it all. I didn’t encounter any lags or performance issues, even with multiple apps running simultaneously. In fact, I managed to have 18 apps open at once without the phone slowing down, showcasing its impressive multitasking capabilities. I also played a couple of games on the phone including COD Mobile, Genshin Impact, The Sims Freeplay and Battlegrounds Mobile India. The phone was capable of running all the games perfectly at medium and high graphic settings. It did get fairly warm after some intense gameplay but it never got to the point where I had to keep it down. The speakers, enough to fill up a medium-sized room, felt adequate. The sound quality deserves a mention too as I enjoyed the sound effects in all the games. <div type="image" title="4" msid="113456073" hostid="261" sizebytes="1226977" caption="&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Vivo V40 Pro promises strong performance&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;"></div> Talking about the battery, the phone will easily last you for a day and a half with medium usage. If your usage is light, it might last a couple of hours over that too. Hence, the battery life is quite impressive. I used the phone at work extensively every day and found myself reaching for a charger only on the following morning when I woke up. When I played Battlegrounds Mobile India on the phone for an hour, the battery dropped by 13 per cent. I was playing with full brightness on. Hence, if you are gaming on the phone for long hours, it is a good idea to have your charger next to you. The phone also charged to a full 100 per cent in about 50 minutes. On the software side, the Vivo V40 Pro runs <keyword id="21133649" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="FuntouchOS-14" source="keywords">FuntouchOS 14</keyword>, built on Android 14. While the interface is feature-rich, it does come with a fair amount of bloatware. Thankfully, most of these pre-installed apps can be removed or disabled, but it would’ve been better if the phone arrived with a cleaner setup right out of the box. Vivo has committed to providing two major OS updates along with three years of security patches, which is a reasonable promise for long-term users. <h2>Vivo V40 Pro review: Camera</h2> The Vivo V40 Pro boasts an impressive quad-camera setup, featuring four 50MP sensors. At its core is a 50MP primary camera with Sony's IMX921 sensor and optical image stabilisation (OIS). Alongside it is a 50MP portrait lens (Sony IMX816) offering 2x optical zoom and up to 50x digital zoom, a 50MP wide-angle lens, and a 50MP front camera, all supported by ZEISS optics. <div type="image" title="Vivo V40 Pro comes with great camera capabilities" msid="113456112" hostid="261" sizebytes="756595" caption="&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Vivo V40 Pro comes with great camera capabilities&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;"></div> The phone is capable of producing some great shots in bright sunlight. The photos are rich in colour and detail, making it a great option for anyone passionate about photography. Users can choose between three colour modes—Vivid, Texture, and Zeiss Natural. In my opinion, the Zeiss Natural mode delivers the most accurate colour reproduction, and it quickly became my go-to for its lifelike results. However, if you're after a bit more flair, the Vivid mode adds a touch of saturation for a more eye-catching finish. <div type="image" title="15" msid="113456223" hostid="261" sizebytes="1108066" caption="&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Vivid mode adds a dash of colour&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;"></div> Even though the V40 Pro’s camera captures impressive detail, zooming in tells a different story at times. Once you hit 3x zoom, there's a slight drop in texture sharpness, and by 5x zoom, the clarity starts to degrade. At 50x zoom, the images are noticeably blurry and not very useful. <div type="image" title="14" msid="113456237" hostid="261" sizebytes="1763532" caption="&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Zooming in loses details&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;"></div> One standout feature is the OIS, which allows for some fantastic shots even in motion. I managed to snap clear images while in a moving vehicle, which is a testament to the phone’s stabilisation capabilities. <div type="image" title="Vivo V40 pro image sample" msid="113456300" hostid="261" sizebytes="1787546" caption="&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Image clicked from a moving car&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;"></div> When it comes to low-light photography, the Vivo V40 Pro performs admirably. I took several evening and night shots, and the phone consistently produced bright, detailed images. The aura light also proves helpful for flash photography, delivering well-lit photos in darker environments. The front camera also captures some impressive low-light selfies. When I was out celebrating my birthday at a low-lit cafe at night, it was a delight having this phone around to capture special moments with my loved ones. The phone is also great for group selfies, as it captures as many as 15 people perfectly. In terms of portrait photography, the V40 Pro once again offers great texture and detail. However, if you look closely, the edge detection feels slightly off at times. <div type="image" title="10" msid="113456414" hostid="261" sizebytes="1033134" caption="&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;V40 Pro captures great images indoors as well&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;"></div> You can also adjust the aperture and choose from six special Zeiss bokeh modes. Each of these modes has its own charm, but I liked the Sonnar mode the best. <div type="image" title="12" msid="113456326" hostid="261" sizebytes="1098419" caption="&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;V40 Pro captures great images in low-lit environments&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;"></div> The phone also has a food mode and it really makes those lip-smacking dishes appear even tastier. So if you are a food blogger or plan on being one, here’s a win! <div type="image" title="11" msid="113456355" hostid="261" sizebytes="1159292" caption="&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;V40 Pro comes with a food mode in photos&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;"></div> The V40 Pro doesn't disappoint on the video front either and delivers crisp and vivid videos that capture all the action smoothly. <h2>Vivo V40 Pro review: Verdict</h2> The Vivo V40 Pro is an excellent choice for photography lovers and multitaskers. Even casual gamers will appreciate its capabilities. However, its premium features come at a price, with the phone sitting in the above Rs 50,000 range, which might give some potential buyers pause. Nevertheless, for those who prioritise camera performance and have the budget, this phone is a strong contender. I would rate it an 8 out of 10.

The Vivo V40, on the other hand, comes with a dual 50-megapixel camera setup in the rear and a 50-megapixel front camera.

Vivo X90 and X90 Pro take on the Galaxy S23 series and OnePlus 11 smartphones in India

<ul><li>Oppo Find N3 Flip is priced at ₹94,999</li><li>The Flip smartphone features a HasselBlad camera set-up</li><li>The smartphone features a 3.2-inch cover display</li></ul>Foldables have ruled 2023, with every major brand launching their variation of this form factor. We saw the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold &amp; Flip 5, the OnePlus Open, Moto Razr and even some affordable alternatives from Tecno. But if we flip back the pages on our calendar the first foldable launched this year was actually The Oppo Find N2 Flip, a device which was generally well received. Offered in a clamshell form factor it did put Oppo on the map for foldables. Surprisingly enough Oppo launched its new iteration last month with the Find N3 Flip. In a world where the life cycle of a product is super low, this doesn’t come as a surprise. However, does this quick turnaround also mean less innovation? In this case - No. I have used the Find N3 Flip for over a month now, and I can say it is the most reliable Flip Phone that I have reviewed. Let me explain why. If you want a quick tour of the device check out my <a href="https://www.instagram.com/reel/CyTUL4LhOoJ/">video</a>. Price &amp; Availability Oppo Find N3 Flip is offered at a price of ₹94,999 and comes with 12GB RAM and 256GB of storage. You can buy it from Flipkart and select offline retailers. Design <div type="image" title="The hinge on N3 Flip is reliable &amp;amp; solid." msid="105805929" hostid="261" sizebytes="27250" caption="&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;The hinge on N3 Flip is reliable &amp;amp;amp; solid.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;"></div> Oppo Find N3 Flip follows the conventional design language that we have seen in clamshells lately. Albeit in appearance, however a sincere amount of work has been done in the execution. Yes, I am talking about the hinge here, which is indeed the most interesting hardware of the smartphone. Tested for about 6,00,000 folds this hinge can be certified heavy duty. While I haven’t put the actual number to the test, my experience was mostly favorable. The device closes flat, leaving negligible space in the fold. Not only does that make it look clean, but also avoids the dust that might get settled between the gaps. The hinge is also very sturdy and doesn’t require unnecessary techniques on your end to put the device in any orientation. Once set-in the device sits in that form without any hiccup. While I will get into my experience with the display in the next section, I do want to highlight that the crease here is minimal. To give a reference it’s a tad bit flatter than the Galaxy Z Flip 5. Which in itself was very well executed. Another impressive aspect of the smartphone is just how thin it is. When unfolded it’s just 7.8mm thick and when you flip it up, it sits 16.5 mm. So yes it indeed is a slick smartphone. Now it does have flat edges so you don’t have to worry about maintaining a good grip around it either. <div type="image" title="The outer display&amp;#39;s orientation allows for multiple tasks." msid="105805944" hostid="261" sizebytes="29642" caption="&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;The outer display&amp;#39;s orientation allows for multiple tasks.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;"></div> The variant with me is in the sleek black color which is subtle yet impressionable. I like the chrome-like treatment on the back, even though it tends to get dirty very quickly and registers fingerprints. For people who like some bling the brand does offer the cream gold color. <div type="image" title="The crease is on the screen is barely visible." msid="105805952" hostid="261" sizebytes="12636" caption="&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;The crease is on the screen is barely visible.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;"></div> The placement of buttons here is also quite conventional. On the top right side we have the volume rockers, panning down a little we get to see the power button here. Yes the power button also houses the fingerprint scanner which is very snappy. Their application and experience also remains familiar, including the drawbacks. The volume rockers while very tactile are placed too high up when you are reaching out for them making it feel unnatural. This is a problem I face with all the flip devices, at this point it is a design limitation. However what most foldables don’t have is the alert slider. Yes, a familiar sight on OnePlus devices, Oppo Find N3 Flip also packs this hardware. Helping you to change the audio profile it remains reliable here as well. At the bottom we have the USB Type-C port and the SIM card slot. You can insert 2 nano SIMs here. Now the Find N3 Flip does feel like a very sturdy device but I have to mention that there is no certification here for water or dust resistance. Something we do get with the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5. While it is safe to assume that the majority of the people would be careful with an expensive device like this, an IP certification would have definitely added to the peace of mind. Display By the virtue of this device having multiple displays, it’s only fair to review them individually. Let’s start with perhaps the most interesting aspect - the cover display here. Cover Display This is a 3.6-inch AMOLED panel with a standard refresh rate of 60Hz. Oppo’s execution of the cover display finds the correct balance between utility and aesthetic. Unlike what we see on the Moto Razr series and the Z Flip 5’s horizontal displays, the one we see here is vertical. This of course comes with its pros and cons. Starting with the pros first, the vertical display here is easy to use, and brings in all the necessary features you would want from a cover screen. From dialing contacts to Google maps and even some gaming, it works well. The peak brightness here is 900 nits which is really bright and visible in outdoor settings. Like we would expect you can also use the primary camera here from the cover display. And yes that does mean easy access for making videos. While I will cover the camera performance in depth, I can say that it is a great feature for vloggers. What I particularly find missing is the fact that I can’t stream videos here, something one could do on Moto Razr 40 Ultra. I believe a cover display should be expandable to as many features as possible, this being one of them. However, this doesn’t take away from the utility of the N3’s cover display since it gets everything productive just right. I also liked the plethora of widgets that are available on the cover display here. Moving to the internal display here, we have a 6.8-inch LTPO OLED screen with a max refresh rate of 120Hz. As mentioned in the design section the crease on the display is minimal which not only provides a better viewing experience but also aids in improved interaction. The viewing experience on the display is top notch with the display projecting crisp colors and images that bounce up. I have watched Invincible Season 2 on Amazon Prime on this device along with Gen V season 2. The experience was top notch with the display projecting Z black colors. Playing games with the display is also a favorable experience with the 120Hz refresh rate. For that matter for the most part in a flat form factor the display behaves and reacts like a regular flat screen. The displays here are paired with a dual speaker set-up which so far has been the most efficient audio hardware I have seen. Software Oppo Find N3 Flip runs on Android 13 out of the box with Oppo’s Color OS skin. While it has been optimized for the foldable form factor to the best possible extent there is ofcourse bloatware. Let me start with what I liked about the UI here. Firstly customisation, the Find N3 Flip, gives a ton of options to give your own flavor to the UI here. From widgets, to skins and wallpapers you have enough options here to truly call it your own device. It also retains some of Color OS’ notable features,like auto pixelation. This feature automatically blurs the display of people in screenshots to protect their identity. Although it does miss in some instances when working automatically, you can manually blur objects. The option to do so directly from the screenshot menu is a welcome addition. Another feature is Multi Screen Connect, which enables connectivity between Oppo products like the Pad Air and allows you to connect your Oppo smartphone with PCs. This is particularly useful for presentations. However, the process of establishing the connection can be time-consuming. But on the flip side we have bloatware here, and yes these apps can be uninstalled. However, when you unbox an expensive device like the N3 Flip, with the best possible design, booting up to see apps is disheartening. Moreover, some of these apps also push notifications which makes the case harder to advocate. I hope Oppo works on this, considering the competition at this price point provides a clean OS experience. This can stand out for some users in an otherwise solid smartphone. Performance Before I dive deep into the Find N3 Flip’s performance I have to mention how this device manages to behave like a regular flagship smartphone in this aspect. Going in I was not very confident with the processor on board which is a Mediatek Dimensity 9200 5G SoC. But I have been proven wrong. Not only does the device deliver fiery performance, but it also manages to manage heat efficiently. Starting with gaming, I have played COD:Mobile and Genshin Impact on the Find N3 Flip on the highest possible setting. With visibly zero lag and dependable heat management the experience was noteworthy. There were no random frame drops or ugly buffers. Moving on, as one would expect the everyday performance is also dependable. Regular tasks like calling, social media and video streaming were also executed without any hiccups. The 12GB of RAM onboard is more than enough to handle all computational tasks, with 256GB of internal storage is also ample. Battery performance is at par with the competition with the device averaging at a screen on time of about 5 and a half hours. However it had an upper edge with the 44W SuperVOOC charging, which would juice up the device in less than 30 minutes. I also ran a Geekbench test on the device, and the results were in the bracket of my expectations. The single-core score was 1845 and multi-score was 4602. Camera Oppo has brought in the big guns when it comes to the camera department in the Find N3 Flip. And it is safe to say the device does pack in the best camera set-up on a flip smartphone. Majorly because of the color science and correct sensors that Oppo has used, added with the Hasselblad tuning it stands out. The available camera setup includes a 50MP Sony IMX890 with an f/1.8 aperture and Optical Image Stabilization (OIS). Additionally, there's a 48MP Sony IMX581 with an f/2.2 aperture boasting a 114-degree Field of View (FoV), and a 32MP IMX709 sensor equipped with an f/2 aperture, facilitating hybrid zoom capabilities of up to 5X, specifically tailored for exceptional portrait photography. OPPO harnesses computational photography techniques to refine High Dynamic Range (HDR) photos, and its ProXDR feature asserts an enhancement of up to eightfold in dynamic range. The front-facing selfie camera nestled within the inner screen features a 32MP Sony IMX709 sensor with an f/2.4 aperture. The 50MP camera delivers remarkable outcomes, capturing sharp images, vibrant colors, and impressive dynamic range, particularly in well-lit outdoor settings. Oppo's algorithm works to elevate these images, potentially altering the final output from what's seen initially in the viewfinder. It excels in capturing spontaneous moments while retaining details upon zooming in. Engaging the dedicated 50MP mode elevates detail levels and ensures precise color reproduction. Indoor photography shows a slight decline in performance but remains acceptable due to the reliable sensor. Activating the night mode significantly enhances performance in low-light conditions. The 32MP telephoto sensor stands out for its capability to capture incredibly sharp images in various environments, whether indoors or outdoors. Its portrait mode excels in precise edge detection, creating an appealing bokeh effect around multiple subjects within the frame. As for the 48MP ultra-wide sensor, it performs optimally by maintaining accurate colors without noticeable alterations. This aspect is crucial for a dedicated ultra-wide sensor, ensuring a broader perspective without sacrificing color precision. Regarding video recording capabilities, the foldable impresses with its capacity to shoot upto 8K videos at 30 frames per second (FPS) while maintaining clear audio, making it a valuable tool for content creators. On the front side, the selfie camera boasts 32MP and integrates Oppo's face filters. It adeptly handles Indian skin tones, generally rendering accurate colors in most scenarios. However, it might struggle in specific lighting conditions, resulting in color inaccuracies. The device offers a range of face filters, catering to users who appreciate this feature. Although the front camera's video performance is acceptable, it might experience slower focus adjustments and noticeable lag. Consequently, for content creation purposes, relying on the primary rear sensor is recommended. Verdict Oppo Find N3 Flip is truly the end game of flip smartphones for this year. It looks good, comes with a reliable hinge and delivers a camera which is of flagship caliber. Delivering on essentials that you would expect from a flagship. Yes the orientation of the cover display is also subjective to your choice, what I can say is that it does its job well. If you are in the market for buying your first foldable smartphone and have a budget in this ballpark I would recommend checking out the N3 Flip. However if you have a modest budget but do want to check out Flip smartphones, you can take a look at the regular Moto Razr and Tecno V Flip.
