Unboxing the device reveals a little more than today’s standard in terms of packages, as there’s a pair of wired earphones bundled in! That’s aside from the usual TPU case, documentation (neatly taped by the way), SIM and microSD card slot ejector, USB-C cable, and the power charger.

The phone itself: stunning. The 6.44-inch display looks great at the front, along with the call speaker and the 16-megapixel selfie camera. We’re surprised this is a notched design, contrary to most phones at its price range that offers cut-out holes for the front cameras. The fingerprint scanner is also at the front part.

The phone is also thin from its sides, making it easy to hold even for longer periods of time. The reflective chrome-plated sides reflect the surfaces it tops on. The bottom part has the 3.5mm audio jack, the microphone, the USB-C port, and the bottom-firing loudspeakers.

Turn the phone to its back and you’ll see this dazzling back pattern in purple-pink colors, and it’s cool that the refraction takes a different lighted pattern in different angles. The triple rear camera setup, along with the LED flash, is housed on a protruded rounded rectangle area at the top-left, while the vivo logo is below it.
