EDITORIAL: Vivo is lifting it's V series of midrangers by adding an Elite badge unit. This is essentially a V70 with a better processor that can sustain years of OS updates and AI additions. If you can get it in your market, this phone should be on your list. It features fast performance, ultrasonic fingerprint reader, IR blaster, metal frame, great battery life, very bright screen and reliable imaging, all in a very compact, just 74mm wide body.
