Vivo has announced a new phone at the mid-to-high end of the market. The V17 Pro will serve as the company’s headline device in many of its regions, or for people who aren’t ready to give up volume buttons just yet.
The V17 Pro dual selfie cameras consist of a 32-megapixel main sensor and an 8-megapixel ultrawide. The motorized section is also home to an earpiece and an LED that works alongside the Night Selfie mode for lighting faces in low-light environments.
Having a hidden selfie camera means no intrusive notch along with smaller bezels for the rest of the phone, allowing a 91.64 percent screen-to-body ratio. The 6.44-inch full HD Amoled display comes with 100-percent DCI-P3 coverage and a 20:9 aspect ratio, and there’s also an in-display fingerprint reader.
The rear of the V17 Pro is also a departure from the norm. It features four cameras in a vertical alignment, which are placed within a camera bump right in the middle of the phone’s back. These consist of a 48-megapixel main camera, a 13-megapixel 2x telephoto camera, an 8-megapixel ultrawide camera, and a 2-megapixel depth sensor
Other specs include a 4,100 mAh battery, 8GB of RAM, 128GB of internal storage, a headphone jack, and a USB Type-C port. But despite the impressive features and specs, Vivo decided to use a Snapdragon 675 SoC—a chip released in late 2018 that’s designed for mid-range phones. The V17 Pro will be available soon, starting in India.
