If we compare the Pro edition with the simplified Vivo V11, then the difference is also in the absence of an integrated fingerprint scanner.

Results

• Android 8.1 out of the box with a combination of Vivo Funtouch OS 4.5;
• Adreno 512 GPU;
• 6.41" FullView screen;
• Excellent performance;
• Many different sensors, including an unusual fingerprint scanner for this price segment;
• Good camera;
• dual sim system.

• The experiment with a mirrored back panel did not justify itself, fingerprints remain;
• A beautiful case loses to convenience - the phone slips off the hand. Not practical;
• The phone is wide, so it is not convenient to operate with one hand (for example, it is not suitable for a woman's hand at all).
