Even if you ignore the funky fluorite glass, the V25 Pro puts in a decent showing across the board. Performance is zippy, the main camera is capable and the screen is a step above many similarly-priced handsets.

Despite a few issues here and there, they are still fantastic devices and could very well be some of the best mid-range devices that 2022 has to offer.

There’s a lot to like about the vivo V25 Pro.

Now, when it comes to feel and features, the Vivo V25 Pro is quite convincingly a flagship device and doesn't feel too far off from the Vivo X80 Pro, but that's not so bad because that phone is double the price.

All in all, we feel Vivo V25 Pro has a good primary camera setup. The ultra wide and the macros are not bad as such, but this price segment we feel it should have been better camera hardware offered.
-
Now you're getting a lot with whatever option you go with, but let me know what you think about the new V series from Vivo this year.
