INTRODUCTION OF VIVO V11

 Many are playing the notch game after Apple made it trendy and vivo was among the first to join. While it all started with Essential and its selfie camera hole, Apple made it much bigger to fit its Kinect-like FaceID tech and that's where the market went. Now, mere months later vivo is already challenging the notch concept with the new V11.
Meanwhile, the company that was the first to introduce the under-display fingerprint scanner is now also the first to try and trickle it down to the mid-range.

his puts the vivo V11 in a rather interesting place - it's not a flagship but more of a mid-range smartphone with not one but two standout features. The V11's glass design is certainly a looker, but the screen with that tiny curvy notch is the place where all eyes will go.

Despite not belonging to the X series, the V11 has very capable hardware - there is a Snapdragon 660 chip with AI processor inside, plenty of RAM and storage, a dual-camera camera setup for those blurry backgroud shots and a high-res selfie shooter at the front.

DESIGN:

The V11's glass-sandwich body is arguably the most common among premium smartphones these days and even plenty of its mid-range peers employ it. But vivo did try to make it standout in more than one way.

For starters - we just can't take our eyes off the AMOLED screen. It's quite large at 6.41", but thanks to the thin, almost non-existing, bezels - the phone isn't a huge slab. The small cutout on top accommodates the 25MP selfie camera and nothing else. It's still an interruption of the screen, but as far as notches go this is certainly the most elegant solution we've seen so far. Some might even say that it adds some character to the phone, but to each their own.

If you look closely though you'll see the long earpiece grille on the bezel.

We've seen quite a few phones claiming to have bezel-less displays, but the Halo FullView screen on the V11 is indeed very close to this concept with 1.76mm side bezels, about 3mm top one, and minimal chin.

If you opt to turn the Offscreen Unlock off, then you'll need to use the power button to wake the phone up and then use the sensor. It's a bit sluggish, just like the other in-display sensors we've seen so far, so it's probably for the best that vivo provides face unlock as an alternative.

The V11 has a stunning back. Vivo opted for two gradient paintjobs - Starry Night and Nebula. The Starry Night is the one we have here, and it uses black and blue hues, with the latter having some light-blue stars sprinkled around.

The dual-camera is protruding at the back. It has a 12MP primary sensor with bright lens and another 5MP for depth sensing. The gold accent around the buldge wouldn't be our top pick, but it's not that bad either.

The back is all glass, though vivo hasn't mentioned the specific type it used. We have to warn you that it's hardly very durable because it started picking up scratches rather quickly. The piece is trendily curved towards the frame, which makes for a rather thin profile but hurts the overall grip.

The frame itself is made of plastic, it's curved, and has a slippery glossy finish. That's three out of three. We wouldn't have minded the plastic, but the thin yet curved shape a make the V11 a particularly slippery phone. We suggest you use the case provided in the retail package or get a third party one or this phone may be rendered incapable of serving you very quickly.

The vivo V11 has a 3.5mm audio port at the bottom, which is nice. There is also a triple card slot, which has gained some popularity recently. This is a tray that can accommodate two SIMs and a microSD card at the same time.

The vivo V11 has a rather big 6.41" display, larger than the 6.3" unit on its Oppo F9 cousin. The V11 spreads at 157.9 x 75 x 7.9 mm - that's just 1mm wider and taller than the F9, and it weighs 13g less at 156g.

The vivo V11 is a looker, no two words about this. The glass design is as trendy as ever, but the reimagined notch on the AMOLED screen, the fingerprint-scanner under that screen, and the dazzling glass back are the things that made the V11 so pretty.

Software

The vivo V11 runs on Android 8.1 Oreo with vivo's custom Funtouch v4.5 overlay on top. As with most other Chinese manufacturers that means a single-tiered interface with no app drawer. Funtouch is heavily influenced by Apple's iOS, but over time vivo has managed to add many interesting features to it.

As for the iOS "borrowing" part of the mix, Funtouch OS is still in a weird place. With things like a Command Centre, instead of a quick toggles above the notifications and app settings scattered through the main settings menu, it is definitely as close to iOS as you can get. But Funtouch is highly customizable - one of the reasons we'd refrain from calling it an outright ripoff.

For starters vivo offers the "Lockscreen Poster" option. It cycles through a set of nice images, so every time you wake up the device, you get to see something different.

There is also an Always on Display, which pairs nicely with the Super AMOLED panel. It is quite convenient as well since it lends itself to some customization and can be put on an auto timer. If you opt to use the cool-but-slow under-display fingerprint reader, you will be spending quite a bit of time on the lock screen, so you might as well set it up to have something entertaining to look at as the fingerprint recognition experience is a hit and miss.

The reader itself is unreliable and inconsistent. Even registering a new print takes an annoyingly long time and feels sketchy. Trying to hold the phone naturally and mimicking various potential scan angles for your thumb during setup seemingly helps consistency later on (at least to some extent).

Luckily, you can enable Face Unlock in addition to the fingerprint security. While not as secure, the Face recognition is way faster and it can nicely complement the V11 fingerprint scanner - the phone unlocks the device upon successful authentication with one of the two options.

The face recognition can be fast or regular. The fast option indeed recognizes your face quicker, but it can be fooled by a picture. The other one relies on a more in-depth facial recognition algorithm and vivo says it's more secure.

Some of the other advanced Funtouch features include App Clone, Smart Split, Smart Motion, there is even Motorbike mode. For navigation you get virtual keys, but you can enable navigation gestures and get rid of those.

The lockscreen is pretty basic outside of the changeable wallpapers - there is a clock and two shortcuts. It is a part of the theme support, though, so you can freshen it up from the Themes app.Past the lockscreen you get a single-tier interface with no app drawer. Meanwhile, swiping up from the bottom edge brings out a combined toggles/brightness/tasks drawer, reminiscent of the old iOS Control center. Closing apps works with a cheerful "Speed up" button.The V11 has its own Themes app and you can choose from a very rich theme store. The theme-able elements are the wallpapers (lock and homescreen, dialer, messenger), and the system font.

The vivo V11 comes with extensive gesture and motion functionality, found in settings under Smart motion. Smart wake works with the display off and lets you draw letters to launch specific apps, unlock with an upward swipe without lighting the screen beforehand, or launch the camera with a downward swipe. There are multiple settings for flashlight or camera launch with the volume keys, too.

Smart Split allows you to split the display and launch two apps side-by-side. This is only limited to the few supported messaging apps - Messages, Facebook, Whatsapp, and Viber. It works only when you are within one of these messengers, say Facebook, and receive a notification from some of the others, say Whatsapp. Then you can expand the Whatsapp floating icon into the full-blown app, which will share the screen with Facebook.

There is also Manual Split - if an app is compatible, you can swipe down with three fingers and it will go into split screen mode. Supported apps include all popular social apps and Google's native apps.

App Clone is available, too, for when you need two active social accounts on a single network.

As usual we'll start our benchmark tests with Geekbench. We noticed the high-speed Kryo quartet is clocked at 1.96 GHz, while most of the S660 bunch on the market have it set at the maximum 2.2 GHz. That's the reason the V11's processor scores a little bit lower than the same one on the Oppo R15 Pro.

A single of those Kryo 260 cores is only bested by the 2.4GHz A73 one inside the Honor Play's Kirin 970, and the most current Kryo 385 inside the Pocophone's Snapdragon 845. The Kryo 260 is still one of the better CPUs to have in charge of your daily Android operations.

CAMERA

The Auto HDR mode is smart enough to know when HDR is needed, so we suggest leaving it set to Auto. The HDR shots do have a higher dynamic range and expose more detail in the shadows without going overboard in the highlights.The low-light images are nothing special. They are soft and the noise reduction takes away most of the detail. The colors are okay, though the contrast is somewhat low.When using the manual mode, you can select a shutter speed up to 32s with ISO up to 3200. You just need a tripod and you can snap some great low-light photos.You should check how the vivo V11 does against the Pocophone F1 and the vivo NEX S in our Photo Compare Tool. We've pre-selected these two, but you are free to pick any other phone to compare it against.The vivo V11 offers native Portrait shot with a variable aperture option inside - you just need to tap somewhere, and the aperture slider will reveal itself.

The portrait shots turned out rather good and unless you have really curly or messy hair, the camera would do perfectly fine with the edge detection.The notch on the vivo V11's display may be small, but it houses a 25MP selfie camera - some of the highest resolution available. It's a fixed-focused unit with f/2.0 lens, though, which is hardly ideal.

The highlights of this selfie camera are the AI Selfie Beauty and the Portrait mode (even though there isn't a second camera at the front). The AI Selfie Beauty lets you change the shape and size of your eyes, nose, mouth and chin, your lips and ears, you get the idea - vivo has put so many options.

And the 25MP selfie shots snapped with the vivo V11 are excellent. The resolved detail is way above average, the contrast is great, the dynamic range is good, and the colors are lively. You can choose from a variety of beautification tweaks, but if you want the most detail, you should stick to the normal shots. The V11 easily has one of the best selfie snappers around in terms of image quality.And here are a couple of samples shot with the AI Selfie Beauty - we changed some of Will's face features for those.Update, Sept. 14 Vivo has released an update, which adds native 4K video recording within the camera app. Those are captured at 42Mbps with stereo audio. Unfortunately the video quality is far from impressive - there resolved detail is mediocre and the dynamic range is below average. But the color presentation and the contrast are very good.
