Midrange

EDITORIAL: Vivo V50 comes 6 months after the V40 and it brings the same Snapdragon 7 Gen 3 chip (same as V30 too), a bigger (6000mAh) Si-C battery and a selfie that is now also Zeiss enhanced. This is a great example of Vivo’s strategy of focusing on battery-screen-photography and is another midranger that will best many flagship phones with it’s very thin body and a lovely, solid feel (despite having a plastic frame), top battery life and excellent photo and video performance. This time, screen resolution is dropped to 1080 and the body is even wider than on V40. Could Vivo be saving the compact size for it’s future flagships?

PROs
thin and very comfortable to use build, Outstanding 2-day 6000mAh Si-C battery endurance with sub-60min 90W charging, good 1080p almost 1300nits 3840PWM AMOLED screen, IP69 element protection, 50MP OIS PDAF main + 50MP AF ultrawide + 50MP AF selfie – all with Zeiss optics for excellent portraits, great photographs and videos
CONs
wide 76.7mm body, a 1080 screen (albeit with HDR10+), no memory expansion, just 3 years of OS updates and no desktop replacement software (updated Jun 9, 2025)

FLY

EDITORIAL: Xiaomi's T line comes about 6 months after their flagship series and brings a scammer down flagship version with a more attractive price. These phones are usually great and the 15T Pro continues along that path.

PROs
excellent Dimensity 9400+ with UFS 4.1 performance, full day endurance from a 5500mAh Lithium battery with 90W sub-40min 0-100% wired charging (50W wireless), flagship grade >1400nits bright 450ppi 144Hz AMOLED screen with Dolby Vision, IP68 protection, great pics from 50MP OIS PDAF main camera (Laica branded) with good performance from a 50MP OIS PDAF periscope telephoto and a no-AF 12MP ultrawide, up to 5 years of OS updates
CONs
wide and hard to use one-hand, mediocre 32MP un-binded selfie, inconsistent video recording, no expandable memory, no desktop replacement software, slow USB-C 2.0 port with no video-out
