Vivo has brought the next generation of its popular V series—the Vivo V70 series. While the previous V60 series focused mainly on design and camera, the new V70 series has given equal importance to performance. This series has two main models—the Vivo V70 and the Vivo V70 Elite.
Let’s take a look at how this new series is in all aspects, from unboxing to design, display, performance, camera, and software.
What’s in the box
A premium experience is available as soon as you open the box of the Vivo V70 series. Inside the box, you will find—
- A transparent protective case

The charger provided in the box at this price is a big advantage for users.

Last word
- The biggest weakness of the V60 series was performance. The V70 Elite solves that problem.
- Key Strengths of the V70 Series
- Premium Design
- Compact yet Stylish
- Bright Display
- Powerful Performance (Elite)
- Good Camera
- New OriginOS
Overall, the Vivo V70 series is a balanced package, where design, camera, and performance—everything—are well-balanced. There is no notification light, but you get an Aura light on the back, which makes it easier to take portraits in low light and in different situations. So that’s it. So, guys, this is the V70 and the V70 Eight.
If I compare it to the V60, it is definitely a big upgrade. Another thing was that the V series was not that good in terms of performance, with the V70 Eight they changed that. So, along with the performance, there is also the looks, the design, the handheld display, and now the Origin OS. So, there is not much to complain about.
