Vivo T1 Pro 5G First Look Review
Crisp And Vivid Display
Vivo has packed the T1 Pro 5G with a 6.44-inch display. The company has used an upgraded AMOLED panel this time instead of the standard IPS LCD. If we speak of the display specifications then the T1 Pro 5G’s AMOLED panel supports 1080 x 2404 pixels screen resolution and 90Hz refresh rate. If you are one of those users who spend most of your time glancing at your phone’s display then the T1 Pro 5G will be a visual treat for you.
During our initial testing phase, the panel seems impressive with general content viewing. The panel also has HDR10+ certification which makes it suitable to consume videos via OTT platforms such as Netflix, Amazon Prime, and others. The display color temperature, as well as color production, is balanced.
You don’t find the content getting overly saturated. Besides, the slim bezels along with the tiny waterdrop notch hamper least with the visibility. With a peak brightness level of 1300 nits, the T1 Pro 5G’s display offers good sunlight visibility.
The panel also integrates a fingerprint scanner which we found to be fast and accurate with device unlocking. We also tested the panel’s performance with gaming which has been decent until now. But we will be testing the T1 Pro 5G’s display thoroughly to give detailed feedback on the same.
Vivo T1 Pro 5G Quick Performance Feedback
The Vivo T1 Pro 5G uses Qualcomm’s premium mid-tier Snapdragon 778G processor. This is an octa-core chipset by Qualcomm which is designed specifically for gaming Android phones. Our initial user experience with the Vivo T1 Pro 5G has been great. The handset is capable of completing all the basic and extensive tasks without any difficulties.
It didn’t flinch even with multiple apps running in the background and while switching between the pre-loaded apps. The T1 Pro 5G’s SD 778G processor employs Adreno 642L GPU to render extensive graphics smoothly.
This Vivo T series phone comes with up to 8GB RAM. This RAM capacity is ample for swift multitasking. The storage option offered by the T1 Pro 5G is up to 128GB which can be further expanded using an external microSD card. Storage crunch isn’t an issue with the device, neither is the overall performance.
The unit is pre-installed with Android 12 OS and features a custom FunTouch OS on top. The UI experience is decent. There are a bunch of pre-installed third-party apps and bloatware. You can uninstall a few of them manually for a cleaner UI.
Vivo T1 Pro 5G Camera First Impressions
Vivo has good expertise with mobile camera hardware. The T1 Pro 5G is one of the best examples of a mid-range Vivo phone that can be purchased for under Rs. 25,000 with some potent camera hardware. It ships with a 64MP main camera which has an f/1.79 aperture. Accompanying the primary sensor is an 8MP ultrawide angle lens that has an f/2.2 aperture and another 2MP sensor for macro shots.
The T1 Pro 5G’s camera has performed well during our initial testing. You will have no complaints with the daylight shots as the primary camera can capture a high level of clarity. There are multiple in-app camera modes that you can use to improve the imaging quality as well as the overall optics experience. Amongst the several camera models are Portrait, Panorama, and Live Photo.
The camera app also has a dedicated Night mode which will help with low-light photography. The images we captured with low-lit backgrounds were decent. Edge detection and dynamic range are good overall. Notably, the T1 Pro 5G rear cameras are also capable of recording dual view videos, slow-motion and time-lapse videos as well.
As for the selfie snapper, the Vivo T1 Pro 5G uses a 16MP lens which is housed within the waterdrop notch upfront. The selfies captured by the T1 Pro 5G are good. You get high-resolution self-portraits that you can easily flaunt on social media portals.
The overall photography experience with the T1 Pro 5G has been good. But we are yet to test the camera performance extensively in all scenarios. Stay tuned with us for detailed camera performance feedback on the T1 Pro 5G.
Big Battery, Super Fast 66W Turbo Flash Charge
The Vivo T1 Pro 5G is packed with a beefy 4,700 mAh battery unit. This large capacity battery packs enough juice to drive the handset close to an entire day if you are using it moderately. The biggest highlight of the T1 Pro 5G is the 66W Turbo Flash charge.
As per the claims, it refuels the device from zero to 50 percent in 18 minutes. We haven’t got to test the battery capacity and the fast-charging speeds to their full potential yet. But will do the same in the coming days.
Is Vivo T1 Pro 5G A Hit Or A Miss?
The Vivo T1 Pro 5G is one complete package that you can buy under Rs. 25,000 in India. This premium range phone has a power game-centric 5G processor which along with up to 8GB RAM offers a powerful performance delivery.
The T1 Pro 5G also caters to photography enthusiasts with its capable 64MP triple rear camera module and a big 16MP selfie snapper. The star attraction is definitely the 66W Turbo Flash charge technology that can refuel the device in under an hour.
