EDITORIAL: Vivo took a bit longer then their usual 6 months to produce an upgrade of excellent V70. This time, the chip and cameras are the same, battery got a 700mAh boost, screen is 144Hz (from 120Hz) but a significant change is in memory: it tops at 8GB (was up to 12GB) and a 128GB model is introduced to throw us back to 2025 V60 times. Despite Zeiss branded lenses, this V phone is not a top tier camera among midrange phones any more as Vivo decided to compete on price and sacrificed some quality.
PROs
attractive iPhone-Pro-copy design, good build, good SD 7 Gen 4 (4nm) with UFS 4.1 (3.1 on 128GB version) performance, >30hr endurance from a 7200mAh Si-C battery with sub-60min 90W charging, >1800nits 460ppi 144Hz AMOLED screen with HDR10+, IP69 protection, reliable if lacking in sharpness 50MP 23mm main + 50MP 73mm periscope telephoto (both OIS PDAF) + 8MP 15mm ultrawide setup, excellent 50MP 21mm PDAF selfie, good video recording from main and below average on other lenses, up to 4 years of stabile OriginOS updates
CONs
SD 7 Gen 4 may struggle to deliver good performance after a few OS updates, no LTPO tech and higher refresh rate deny what could have been stellar battery endurance, no AF on a below average ultrawide, no expandable memory, no desktop replacement functionality, slow USB-C 2.0 port (with OTG), speakers could be louder

EDITORIAL: The 17T is a mature model positioned just below Xiaomi's flagship phones. It gets a new (excellent) periscope telephoto lens and long-lasting battery while shaving almost 3mm(!) from it's width to put it into a one-hand-phone group. Good connectivity with PCs and Macs with lots of useful software features, long OS support (for a midranger). A very reliable phone if you're okay with paying a small premium.
PROs
solid build with likable design, fast midrange Dimensity 8500 Ultra with UFS 4.1 performance, 36hr endurance from a 6500mAh Si-C battery with 60min 67W charging, sub-1100nits 460ppi AMOLED screen with Dolby Vision and high PWM dimming, IP68 protection, very reliable 50MP 23mm main + 50MP 115mm periscope telephoto (both OIS PDAF) + 12MP 15mm ultrawide setup, 32MP 21mm selfie, 5 years of updates for mature and AI feature rich HyperOS
CONs
plastic frame and back panel, relatively slow 67W wired charging (no wireless), not a very bright screen with no LTPO tech, no expandable storage, no desktop replacement or Video Out on a slow USB-C 2.0 port (there is OTG), relatively expensive
