Appearance and ergonomics
V17 Neo sold in two colors. We got a dark version of a rhombic pattern. Looks interesting: the closer to the bottom of the diamonds shimmer shades of blue, and on the edges of leaves pattern in black.
Located behind the vertical camera module, which we have already seen dozens of times. At first it seems that there are four lenses, but when considering you realize that one of them - eye flash.
Much confidence plastic case does not inspire. It is easy to collect fingerprints and scratches, so the smartphone is better to wear in the bag.
On the left is nanoSIM- slot and microSD-cards, as well as the call button «Google Assistant". It can be reassigned, but only on Google search challenge. And it should be made as a voice assistant, you can enable or tap and hold the center button the bottom panel Android. To the right is a little staggering volume button and power button. Bottom - hole speaker and microphone, as well as microUSB connectors and mini-jack.
V17 Neo fits nicely in the hand, but to reach out to the far corner of the screen with your thumb, without moving the hand, it is unrealistic. This is a classic PHABLET that will appeal to fans of overall smartphones.
Screen
V17 Neo - bezramochnik with drop-shaped neckline. Lower brow thicker than the others, but this does not affect the operation of your smartphone.
The screen is Super AMOLED gives the flagship, but only at the level of sensations. Find fault with the clarity of the image or color reproduction difficult. brightness excellent potential.
V17 Neo supports Always on Display mode. With him the time, date, battery and notice of the designated application can be seen on the screen is locked. Available 20 dial options.
The test sample came to us already with the film - it will come bundled with smartphones when they go on sale.
Sound
One speaker and expectedly mediocre. But you can connect your favorite headphones with a mini-jack or Bluetooth-interface. The set will go headphones with microphone Vivo XE100.
Camera
As we said above, the module camera V17 Neo includes three lenses:
- basic, which you'll use almost always;
- ultrashirokougolny to help accommodate frame spire of the Eiffel Tower in full;
- an auxiliary lens for portraits.
The camera work does not cause any complaints, nor any special emotions. With V17 Neo can make decent pictures day and night tolerable. Ultrashirokougolny lens works worse than basic: it affects less resolution and luminosity. Portrait mode is not very attentive to the nuances, but pretty pictures with bokeh easy to do.
Selfie camera without byutifikatsii also works flawlessly.
Worst in Vivo chambers - a terrible interface staff apps. There are dozens of buttons, features and functions, and most of them are not needed.
Performance
Our test sample does not support AnTuTu, therefore, have to focus on the performance Geekbench 4 and their own feelings.
Based on the test results, the performance at the V17 Neo average. An eight Mediatek MT6768 Helio P65 with frequency up to 2 GHz and 6 GB of RAM almost allowed gadget catch more expensive Vivo V15 Pro and catch up with some models Xiaomi (for example, Mi 9 SE) And Samsung (for example, Galaxy A50). At the same time state employees killer Redmi Note 7 gave a better result in the benchmark.
We tested V17 Neo in three games: Subway Surfers, Injustice and 2 PUBG. In Subway Surfers were no lags and sagging FPS, but the picture was in the game for some reason, the pixel and non-smoothed, if artificially limited in resolution. In Injustice 2 framerate sometimes sags. PUBG run at medium graphics settings, but with the FPS still have minor problems. Can improve the picture a special game mode, sewn into the shell.
V17 Neo difficult to call or high-performance game, but in 2019 it iron More important. Especially if you use your smartphone for solving common tasks and correspondences in the messengers. If you need a machine for games, it is best to choose a specialized flagship and inexpensive option with an emphasis on a powerful processor. With V17 Neo can comfortably take place resource-intensive games, but there is a limit of possibilities.
Software
The smartphone runs on Android 9.0 with a control shell Funtouch 9. We already wrote about it in the review of the previous Vivo models. It duplicates the features of iOS superstructure, in which there are many predefined services from Google and Vivo.
If you remove all unnecessary, then use a shell is quite convenient.
unlocking
To unlock, you can use the face or a finger. Analogue Face ID is not very reliable. If you have something to hide, it is better to select unlocking fingerprint. The sensor is located on the screen. Fires and always smartly.
To expedite the process, the system proposes to use a combination authorization at which the smartphone can read and facial features, and print. Perhaps this is the most convenient and fast unlock the script.
autonomy
4500 mAh - it decently. This charge will last for a day or even two. We are for testing the discharge smartphone only once, but noticed one unpleasant nuance. The charge falls unevenly. Indicator slowly decreased to a critical point: from 30% to 10% of the path taken several hours. After the mark of 10% smartphone discharged for some minutes. Perhaps this is a soft-bug, which will eliminate the time of release.
Supports fast dual charging (9 volts, 2 amps). The test sample came to us without a box with an adapter, so it was not possible to verify the charging speed.
results
Vivo V17 Neo - strong middling with an interesting design, good camera, serious battery and support for NFC. He, like most Vivo models, lacks character: it looks about the same as what other Chinese brands, in - shameless copying of iOS. But it is quite possible to use the device.
When compared to other smartphones Vivo, which got us to the editor, the V17 Neo will be a great option to buy. He better Y17 in the key specifications, and is more expensive only 4000 rubles. It is comparable to the V15 Pro, but for 10 000 rubles cheaper.
Price Vivo V17 Neo in the official store - 19 990 rubles. Home sales - August 17.
