Vivo has announced another addition to their Z-series of smartphones. Meet the Vivo Z10, which is visually a rebranded Vivo V7.
The Vivo Z10 has a 6-inch HD+ IPS screen, which is just a tad bit bigger than the 5.7-inch display found on the V7. It doesn’t have a display notch, but the screen comes with an 18:9 aspect ratio.
It’s powered by a humble Qualcomm Snapdragon 450 processor with 4GB of RAM, and a decent 32GB of expandable storage. If you run out of storage, you can just throw in a microSD card (up to 256GB).
One of the few downsides of this device is its operating system. It only runs on Android 7.1 Nougat, which can now be considered as obsolete because we’re nearing the launch of Android P.
But thankfully, it has a 3,225mAh battery. In our full review of the V7, we did praise its battery performance. This time, we expect better results because the latter only has 3,000mAh battery.
Moving on, it also has a killer front camera. The Vivo Z10 sports a 24-megapixel front camera with a “Moonlight Glow” flash. This camera sensor is also used for its face unlock feature. At the back, we have a slightly boring 16-megapixel camera and Vivo claims that it can take 64-megapixel Ultra HD Photos, albeit via interpolation.

The Vivo Z10 is available in select offline stores in India for a price of Rs 14,990 (~Php11,700). And since it has a lot of similarities with the Vivo V7, we highly doubt that it will make its way here in the Philippines.
waste of time and money.
