With tasteful design and powerful performance,  the Vivo V11 Pro hits the right balance
Bangalore, September 10, 2018: Till recently, most smart phones in a particular price band  came with  a masala mix of the same basic  specs and design elements.  Things are changing:  now, each  big brand, seemingly  latches on to one  Unique Selling  Proposition (USP). For one, it is rapid charging, for another it is a  curved screen and a third, touts  textured back panels.
For Vivo, it is the  in-display fingerprint sensing technology:   right on the main  screen,  much easier than fumbling on the back .  And now for the first time,  the company has trickled this feature  down to the  V series phones -- the Vivo V11 pro.
Even otherwise, the  phone  offers an  interesting mix of features and design.  Vivo has managed a screen-to-body ratio in excess of 91%, in a bezel-less frame. The phone is extremely light to hold but doesn't slip from your hands. The back panel is curved and houses the camera module, unusually tucked into  the left corner. The notch on the screen is almost non-existent, providing a non-intrusive screen viewing experience.
Powered by the Snapdragon 660 processor and a 3400 mAh battery, Vivo has incorporated AI capabilities in imaging as well as battery management. The 6.41 inches Super Amoled full view display comes in a 12 MP+5 MP dual pixel sensor for the back camera and a 25 MP AI selfie camera. While the dual pixel  technology provides sharpness and depth  in autofocus, the AI engine optimizes contrast and brightness,  beautifies your selfies by adjusting lighting, tweaking face shape and  running each image past a vast reference database of backgrounds and skin tones. Shot refocus  allows the user to bokeh-blur either foreground or background The battery is charged using dual engine fast charging technology, as much due to  Snapdragon's Quad 660  processor and Vivo's FunTouch OS.
Infrared face access is  a useful feature which allows you to unlock your phone in almost total darkness. The device also comes with a dedicated gaming mode 4.0,  that hides incoming notifications leading to uninterrupted game-play. Available in two colours -- dazzling gold and starry night, the device is priced at Rs. 25,990 and comes in a 6 GB+64 GB memory configuration. At its asking price, the mix of design and performance makes it a good option for your new primary device.
