vivo X5Pro Pro Reviews

It's not an easy task to draw a final line on the vivo X5Pro – on one side, its hardware is underwhelming, and its interface is an iOS knock-off no matter how one looks at it. On the other, however, it performs reliably, has a set of useful features, looks good, and feels nice in the hand. Remembering the $530+ price-tag, the disappointing camera, the limited LTE bands it supports, and the fact that the handset is not fit for heavy usage – in neither the hardware, nor battery life department – draws a clearer picture. If you are a casual user who wants a handset that looks good and is a bit more exotic than what everyone can find in the brick-and-mortar stores nearby – you will probably enjoy the vivo X5Pro, as it checks enough of the boxes for a daily communications device. If you care about mobile photography, however, and generally want a more solid and well-equipped experience, going for something more established like the LG G4 or HTC One M9 (both of which are similarly, or even better-priced) will prove to be a much better choice. If you are a hardcore user, you may enjoy owning this phone for experimentation purposes, but we can't imagine heavy consumers to pick the vivo X5Pro as a daily driver – it just doesn't pack the needed hardware prowess. Plus, we don't like knock-offs.
