jiyen235, 29 Mar 2025wait why is the v30 pro unmatched again? im confused?It's Vivo's last V series phone for the Asian market with eSIM support (the European variant lacks it for some reason), as well as Vivo's last phone with a UV-sensitive back panel, along with the larger flashlight.

Either way, the V30 Pro is still unmatched from BBK's roster, alongside the Reno10 Pro+ with no succeeding iterations whatsoever.

ashrobb, 26 Mar 2025Weird results. But I remember you've had a few misteps before in recent reviews. I say it... moreNote also that GSMArena tests do not consider cellular network usage. In other words modem efficiency is completely ignored. Which is a huuuge differential factor tbh with all current phones..
Also i doubt anyone is interested in battery drain until shutdown.. i personally never let phones discharge below 18-15% and thus I'm more interested in battery test 100->20% or smth like that..

For past 7-8 years I am using Vivo phones. I never had any phone hang problem. But this time I am using Vivo v50 and I am so happy with the phone. No doubt camera is good but the battery backup is amazing. I don't need to charge every now or then. Once a day or sometimes alternate day also work. Thank you Vivo

Apple-to-apple comparison is only possible when the predecessor(s) are also updated to the same firmware and retested.

Lol, so the 1 thing that they upgraded since V30, the battery, is actually not even an upgrade. This device is Worthless trash.

V50 charges 27 minutes faster, and lasts around 25% more, while it only has 20% larger battery.
There's nothing in Samsung battery life/charging speed for you to defend.
