In the recent past, we’ve noticed that smartphones manufacturers are introducing major chances to make the device more attract for customers across the globe. Now, news is rife that Samsung is likely to unveil the Galaxy Z Fold 3 with its first under-display camera (UDC) for selfie freaks.
According to a report from South Korean website ETNews, Samsung is planning to deploy under-display cameras on its next Galaxy Fold 3 smartphone. Samsung is planning to deploy under-display cameras on its next Galaxy Fold 3 smartphone. UDC is a technology that places the camera under the display, making the camera invisible from the outside. The much-anticipated handset is likely to be launched in the third quarter of 2021.
What is more interesting is that under-display camera does not require a notch or hole because the camera is placed behind the display. This means that one can access a full-screen of Samsung Galaxy Fold 3 smartphone as there would be no notch edging or small punch-holes.
If we believe the reports to be true Samsung Electronics is reportedly planning to commercialize under-display camera via combination of display and camera technology. According to the report, placing the camera behind the screen interferes with the display shooting as the light that must enter the lens may be refracted. Furthermore, Samsung Galaxy Fold 3 spreads the screen from side to side like a notebook. The company could provide larger screen to smartphone users if the camera is not visible on the screen.
Meanwhile, Samsung has announced the global availability of its all-new Smart Monitor to meet the new needs of today’s consumers, who are now working, learning and consuming entertainment at home.
Samsung Smart Monitor comprises of powerful smartphone and PC connectivity, remote home office and learning features as well as Smart Hub, a comprehensive entertainment hub, just like Samsung’s built-in Smart TV platform. The Smart Monitor, which is currently available in United States, Canada and China. Furthermore, is expected to expand launching markets starting the end of November. The monitor is available in two variants:
The M7 supports Ultra-High Definition (UHD) resolution in 32-inch
The M5 supports Full HD (FHD) resolution in 32-inch and 27-inch
Furthermore, the new Samsung Smart Monitor provides numerous connectivity options for both PCs and smartphones. Users can connect their personal mobile devices with just a simple tap using Tap View, App Casting or Apple AirPlay 2. Users can also connect to the monitor with Samsung DeX for a complete desktop experience using a mobile device.

Google Stadia is a gaming platform that lets you play games across screens in short, it is one place for all the ways one plays. Right now, its app is available for Android devices on Google Play Store. And now the company has announced that Stadia is now heading to iOS as a web app instead of a standalone app on the Apps Store.As per Google’s recent tweet, Stadia will now be supported by iOS and is in the first phase. The tweet reads, “As you might have heard, the first phase of iOS support is coming to Stadia! Stay tuned for more to come.”So soon a progressive Web app (PWA) of Google stadia will be available on the Web browser. It should be noted that the WPA experience will not provide a Google Stadia app-like experience after Apple’s negation to bring a standalone app. The tech giant has not yet revealed any accurate timeline of the release of the Stadia on iOS but soon it will begin testing the service for the public in the coming weeks or months.According to the company, bringing a native Google Stadia App to the App Store will violate the terms of its platform which also applies to Microsoft xCloud. Recently the Cupertino-based company removed a web application named Stadium, which allowed users to run Stadia as well as xCloud. Microsoft and other developers criticized Apple over its Apple Store practices, therefore, refused to launch their streaming services on its platform. Taking into account Apple recently made some changes to its App Store Guidelines while loosening some in-app payment rules.Apart from this Google has plans to bring support for 135 titles and more to its platform however it has already launched more than 80 game titles until now. The list includes popular titles such as Assassin’s Creed Odyssey, Borderlands 3, Cyberpunk 2077, Darksiders Genesis, Destiny 2: The Collection, Doom Eternal, Final Fantasy XV, Ghost Recon Breakpoint, Red Dead Redemption 2, Tom Clancy’s The Division 2, Watch Dogs Legion, and Wolfenstein: Youngblood among others.

These days we have been listening about eSIM a lot as every other smartphone brand is now offering eSIM card support that is known to improve the signal quality for people around the world. Those who are unaware this facility is only available on expensive devices such as iPhone 12, Google Pixel 5 and more. Also, this feature is quite useful for those who travel a lot and struggle to find a reliable mobile provider while they’re in some other country which is the main difference between an eSIM and a regular SIM. We will talk about it more but first, let’s know more about eSIM as most of you are unaware of how it works.What is an eSIM?First of all, eSIM stands for Embedded Subscriber Identity Module and in India it has arrived in the year 2018 with the launch of the Apple Watch Series 3 LTE Version that comes with this feature. Reliance Jio was the first one to announce that it provides eSIM technology to its users. eSIM is described as an embedded universal integrated circuit card (eUICC) defined by GSMA, the global association responsible for setting the overall telecommunication framework with approximately 800 mobile operators.One of the advantages of this feature is that it brings flexibility to consumers, Communications Service Providers (CSPs) and enterprises. So, the users do not need to look for CSPs and go to CSP shops to buy SIM cards while continuing to enjoy all legacy SIM services such as roaming services, local breakout services, or SIM applets with multi-international Mobile Subscriber Identity (IMSI) services when and where applicable. The consumers can choose a new local CSP to remotely provision and activate a new subscription to the device when needed, over the air. Thus, your device can easily rely on a global eSIM to be able to connect all their devices all over the world offering seamless global connectivity services provided by CSPs across the entire device life cycle.But this does not mean that your device does not have support for a regular SIM. The SIM tray consists of a slot available for a SIM card while the eSIM needs to be activated either by scanning the QR code provided by the preferred carrier or by entering parameters manually as the manufacturers have already integrated a small SIM card inside the phone.Which phones support eSIM functionality and which region supports this technology?All the latest Apple devices including iPhone 12 series, iPhone X series. However, Pixel devices also use eSIM technology but which was restricted to the US only. Other than the US this functionality is available in Austria, Canada, Croatia, the Czech Republic, Germany, Hungary, India, Spain, the UK and more.What are the similarities between both the SIMs?Both are entirely different technology and both share very few similarities. Both can easily connect to your device to the telecom providers. Both can identify phones as well as subscribed plans and can be used simultaneously and lastly, SIM and eSIM are technically SIM card. But the regular SIM can be physically removed or inserted into your phone while eSIM comes embedded into a dual-SIM phone.Pros and Cons of SIM:Starting with pros, a regular SIM provides better services in local areas as it provides a better prepaid SIM plan at a local market or while you are abroad at a convenience store. SIM is removable and is also upgradable if it gets outdated or if you are looking to upgrade your plan.While the drawbacks/cons here are that it can be easily hacked and this gives hackers your account details including Banks, social media, emails and more. Sim relies on apps and it receives signals from cell phone towers. So, if you are traveling to a remote area then there will be fewer cell phone towers that don’t offer better coverage. It also wears out easily from corrosion or rubbing.Pros and Cons of eSIMThe best part about the eSIM is that it can’t be hacked easily. It is easy to locate and the service provider can control it over the air so your lost or stolen phone can be easily traced. These cards can’t be damaged or lost as they come embedded inside the phone from the manufacturers. It is smaller in size and can also fit into wearable devices such as smartwatches. Can be used anywhere in the world.eSIM tech is not available for the older devices as it’s new technology and it only comes on expensive devices. Difficult to transfer data as it cannot be removed from the phone so you have to download from your cloud storage. This does not work with multiple devices as you cannot pop it out from the phone.

The Vivo X50 was launched recently in India at a starting price of Rs 34,990. The smartphone comes with a number of cool features like a quad-camera setup, a 48MP primary sensor and a massive 6.5-inch display that has support for HDR10+. The handset sounded great on paper and we couldn’t wait to get our hands on it. We spent more than a week with the device and here’s our Vivo X50 review:
In This Article
Vivo X50 design and display
In terms of the design, Vivo X50 surely impresses. The smartphone is very good to look at and comes with a sturdy built and a premium form factor. The back panel of the Vivo X50 is frosted and it houses the camera panel, the LED flash and sports Vivo‘s branding. We really liked the fact that the matte finish of the back panel us such that it doesn’t catch fingerprints too easily. The device is available in two colour options: Frost Blue and Glaze Black. We got the former one for the review and we think it looked splendid.
The handset has a metallic frame on its edges and while the right one has the volume rocker keys and the power button sandwiched on it, the secondary microphone is on the top and the SIM tray, primary microphone, Type-C port and speaker grille are on the bottom.
Flip the device over and you will be greeted by its 6.56-inch Full HD+ AMOLED display that has a refresh rate of 90Hz and comes with HDR10+ certification. The screen is outlined by very thin bezels on all four sides, and this adds to the premium looks of the device. The display also has a hole-punch cut-out selfie camera on the top left and a fingerprint scanner is embedded towards the bottom.
The display is undoubtedly one of the best aspects of the smartphone. The colours projected are bright and vibrant and they remained consistent at different viewing angles. The images were sharp and clear at all times and it was a delight to play games and watch content from YouTube on it. The sunlight readability of the smartphone’s display was decent too.
To put it in a nutshell, the design as well as the display of Vivo X50 are definitely among its pros and were both very impressive. The phone is beautiful to look at and the display is a treat to the eye.
Vivo X50 performance and camera
Moving on, let’s talk about the performance of Vivo X50. But before we do that, let’s take a minute to take a look at the rest of its specifications. Vivo X50 is powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon 730 SoC clubbed with 8GB of RAM. The smartphone is available in two storage options – 128GB and 256GB. The device runs Android 10 skinned with Funtouch OS 10.5 and it houses a 4,200mAh battery. The charger in the box comes with support for the company’s 33W FlashCharge technology. For imaging duties, there is a 48MP primary camera, an 8MP ultra-wide sensor, a 13MP portrait lens and a 5MP macro lens.
The customised-Android skin of the smartphone comes with a number of customizations. First and foremost, there is bloatware on the device. You’ll find some apps like Angry Birds, PhonePe and Facebook, and a number of others that are Vivo’s own. We should mention that Vivo’s own app cannot be uninstalled from the smartphone.
There are a number of app shortcuts and the device comes with a Digital Wellbeing feature as well. You also have the option of customizing the lighting effects for call or other notifications in the Settings section.
Moving further, the performance of Vivo X50 is really good. The biometric locks of the device work very smoothly and any function that you may wish to perform happens instantly thanks to the processor and the display with such a good refresh rate. There were times when we multitasked a lot on the handset, but did not face a problem even once.
Gaming on the smartphone is another aspect that got us all happy and excited inside. We played a lot of Asphalt 9: Legends and Call of Duty and the device handled them both very well. There is a Game Space app on the device that can be used to keep all the games in one place. Using this can also help you block incoming calls when you are playing a game and it locks the brightness of the display. You can also use it to record your screen while gaming. Even after prolonged gaming sessions, Vivo X50 did not heat up, and we think that’s definitely a pro.
The 4,200mAh battery of the smartphone easily lasts more than a day even with heavy usage that involves gaming, long phone calls, a lot of video recording, watching content on YouTube and using social media apps. With moderate usage, the device will easily last two days. Using the bundled charger, the battery of the smartphone can be charged completely within an hour.
Clicked by primary camera
Now, let’s speak about the cameras of Vivo X50. As we mentioned earlier, the device comes with a set of four camera sensors. The 48MP primary Sony IMX598 sensor comes with optical image stabilisation. The quality of the images taken from this lens is very amazing. The pictures capture a great number of details and the colours are vibrant and bright. You even have the option of turning on the AI scene recognition, particularly if you like images with slightly saturated colours. During the day, all the images taken were great, but in the ones taken in lowly lit areas or at night, we did observe some level of noise. However, if you enable the Night Mode, the problem gets fixed instantly.
Clicked by portrait lens
The 8MP ultra-wide camera also does a good job in daylight. The details captured and the colours are both good, however, that’s only the case during the day. At night, the details deteriorate and the images get grainy. Plus, the Night Mode doesn’t help too much in the case of the ultra-wide camera.
Clicked with ultra-wide sensor
Coming to the 13MP portrait lens, you can get an extremely zoomed-in view of the subject you wish to click. What’s better, users have the option of making edits before taking the shot. Most of the pictures that we clicked using this camera lens turned out to be great. We even clicked some images using the 5MP Macro lens of the smartphone and that too did a great job as we could capture even the very tiny details of the object being captured.
Clicked with macro lens
Even the 32MP selfie camera of the device works very well and we managed to get some very good selfies using it. However, the problem of the pictures not being good in lowly-lit conditions persisted. Plus, the Night Mode didn’t manage to do its wonders with this camera lens too.
Verdict
There is no reason for us to discourage you from buying the Vivo X50 as the device proved itself to be good in most categories. It has a beautiful design, a vibrant display, a lasting battery and decent cameras (we call them decent only because of the performance at night). But we should mention that in this price range, you can also buy offerings from OnePlus that pack a better processor. However, that should only affect you if you are a lot into gaming because Vivo X50 handles all major tasks very well.
Pros
Facebook has begun rolling out new messaging features for its Messenger as well as Instagram. The three new features include watch together, vanish mode, and chat themes that will be added to both platforms. Recently, vanish mode was announced by the social media platform but at that time Facebook did not reveal the release date for this feature. But as per the company’s latest blog post, all the new features will be collectively rolled out gradually as a part of the newmessaging experience on Instagram.The first feature, which is Watch Together is now available on Instagram. This feature will allow users to tune into IGTV, Reels, TV shows, movies and trending videos in real-time along with their friends over video chat. In addition to these two new shows “Post Malone’s Celebrity World Pong League” and “Here for It With Avani Gregg,” exclusively available to Messenger and Instagram through Watch Together. And to watch these shows with your friends all you need to do is start a video chat on Instagram or Messenger or create a Messenger Room. In an Instagram video chat, tap the media button in the bottom right and select the ‘TV & Movies’ tab. In a Messenger video chat, swipe up to access the menu, select Watch Together then select the ‘TV & Movies’ tab. From there you can select various videos and other content, including Avani and Post’s shows.Chat Themes is the next new feature that will be accessible when you update to the new messaging experience. You can personalise your conversations with various themes such as tie-dye and love. Both Messenger and Instagram will be getting a special chat theme with TinyTAN, a group of lovable characters created from the seven members ofBTS. So, the BTS Chat theme will activate the TinyTAN chat theme in your chat settings by tapping Theme and selecting TinyTAN.Lastly, the Vanish Mode which is an opt-in feature that makes seen messages disappear after you leave a chat thread will also be available soon on both platforms. For privacy and security, this feature will only work for the people you’re connected to in a chat. If someone takes ascreenshot of your chat while you’re using vanish mode, you’ll be notified. You can send memes, GIFs or reactions without it staying in your chat history. To enable this feature just swipe up in an existing chat thread – and you’re in vanish mode.

The tech giant Google not only offers Android operating software for the smartphone but it also offers a similar experience for automobiles. Android Auto app is one of such company’s products that help you connect your phone to your car’s display in a format that makes it easy for you to keep your main focus on driving. This app was launched more than a year ago and grabbed a lot of attention then because of its UI and capabilities. But then for some using the app has become a nightmare as many times it stops working and especially for the Audi drivers. As of now, there is no ETA available but one of the company’s executives has responded to the issues on the new Android Auto version explaining that the company is now working on a fix. Till the company finds out a fix you can try out some of these Android Auto troubleshooting tips that will help you fix this issue.Using the Android Auto app you can control features like navigation and maps, calls and text messages, and music. You can also use your voice to get help with your day. You can find routes, play your favourite songs and even check the weather. Just say “Hey Google” to get started. But if it isn’t working properly on your smartphone or car’s display then you can try some of our troubleshooting tips to make it work right.
How to troubleshoot Android Auto:
At any point of time, if Android Auto fails this might be because of a momentary fault within the app. SO in this case always restart your phone or else shut down or power off. Turn on your phone after a few minutes and launch Android Auto again to check if it’s working right.
If this doesn’t help then try updating your phone as well as the app as this will fix voice command issues. You can do this by heading to Settings on your device and check for Android updates. If any update is available then go for it. On updating your device go to the application and if Android Auto is in the list and then tap to update. In addition to the auto app, we would also recommend you to update other Google apps as well.
Check if your phone is compatible with the app or not. According to the company if you have Android 9 or below, get the Android Auto app on your phone. With Android 10, Android Auto is built in – so you don’t need the app to get started.
Also, check if the Android Auto app works in your country. Here in India, the app supports cars from the US, UK, Canada, Australia and more.
Do check that your car or stereo is compatible with Android Auto. Although the app is supported by more than 500 models, you can click here to check compatibility.
Also, try troubleshooting your car’s infotainment system. Check if you are opening an Android Auto app from the main menu. In case you don’t know how to restart the system then you can try switching off your cars for some time and then start it again.
Make an attempt to connect your phone to your vehicle using a USB cable while using the app on your vehicles’ display. Also, make sure your USB cable has support for data transfer as the app also doesn’t work if the cable is for charging purposes only.
Opening this option will slide out a list of approved and rejected cars. If accidentally it is in the rejected cars list then unblock it by removing this from the list and try pairing it again. But Check if the Add new cars to Android Auto option is enabled and then visit your Android Auto vehicle settings and then tap Previously connected cars. If this also doesn’t work then tap on the Menu and hit Forget all cars. Doing this will remove all the paired cars and you can again start fresh.
If none of the above works then clear cache and storage in the Android Auto app and start again while the app is not connected to your car. Go to Settings > Apps & notifications > See all X apps > Android Auto > Storage & cache.
WhatsApp has officially announced the rollout of one of its much-awaited Disappearing Messages feature on its platform. This feature will allow the users to automatically delete a sent message after seven days, including any media sent. With the introduction of this feature your previously sent or received messages or any of the content will not be affected in the chat. This feature can be easily turned on or off for a particular chat or a group. If you are unaware of the WhatsApp disappearing messages feature then here our step-by-step guide to enable or disable this feature on your smartphone.
How to enable or disable disappearing messages on your device?
And to turn the feature off go on the contacts’ name
Tap disappearing messages
Continue and select off
In a similar way, this feature can be disabled or enabled in a group chat as well but only group admins can turn disappearing messages on or off. As we said earlier this setting won’t affect messages you previously sent or received in the chat. On turning this feature, the sent media, content, or message will disappear in the seven-day period. It should be noted the message will still disappear if the user doesn’t open WhatsApp in this set period however the preview of the message might still be displayed in notifications until WhatsApp is opened. In addition to this If a disappearing message is forwarded to a chat with disappearing messages off, the message won’t disappear in the forwarded chat.Also, if you create a backup before a message disappears, the disappearing message will be contained within the backup. The messages will be erased when a user reinstates from a backup. So one can possibly forward or take a screenshot of a disappearing message and save it before it disappears. Also, you can save and copy the media content or take a photo of the disappearing message and save it before it disappears from your device.

The App Store has been an engine of economic growth like none other, creating millions of new jobs and a pathway to entrepreneurship accessible to anyone with a great idea. Our new program carries that progress forward — helping developers fund their small businesses, take risks on new ideas, expand their teams, and continue to make apps that enrich people’s lives.”
Apple further highlighted that the comprehensive details will be released in early December. Meanwhile, the App Store’s standard commission rate of 30 percent remains in place for apps selling digital goods and services and making more than $1 million in proceeds, defined as a developer’s post-commission earnings.
Additionally, small business owners will continue to benefit from Apple’s unparalleled suite of developer tools — including development applications, programming languages, a secure payment interface, and more than 250,000 essential software building blocks called APIs.
It was further added that the developers of all sizes have built successful businesses while benefitting from the App Store’s global reach encompassing users of the more than 1.5 billion Apple devices around the world in 175 countries and over 40 languages, with more than 180 local payment methods and 45 accepted currencies.
Apple concluded by adding that the new App Store Small Business Program will build on that progress to generate even more digital commerce and app innovations, support new jobs, and help small and independent developers continue to introducing amazing software to its users.

Technology giant Google retains top spot in YouGov’s 2020 Best Brand Rankings in India to become the best health brand among urban Indians. On the other hand, YouTube secured a second spot with 53.3 and WhatsApp came down to third position with a score of 53.1.
“YouGov’s 2020 Best Brand Rankings place Google in the first place yet again. In addition to being the best brand in India, the tech giant dominates the global rankings as well, highlighting the power of a strong brand. India’s top 10 list this year has a dominance of e-commerce brands, showing the rising engagement of urban Indian residents with online shopping amidst the pandemic,” said Deepa Bhatia, General Manager, YouGov India.
Despite topping the rankings, it was a tough year for tech brands, with each of these brands recording a decline in brand health scores year-on-year. Facebook also recorded a marginal decline to its score, although it has moved up two places to sixth (38.3) in this year’s rankings.
According to the Index score from YouGov Brand Index, “Apart from tech brands, the top 10 list this year is dominated by e-commerce brands, highlighting the rising engagement of Indian consumers with e-commerce platforms during the ongoing health crisis.”
Furthermore, Amazon and Swiggy brands have made notable improvements to their perception during this COVID-19 pandemic. It must be noted that there has been no change in their rankings as Amazon remained in fourth place with a score of 52.8 scores and Swiggy gained a fifth spot with (46.1), respectively, this year as well.
The ranking for Zomato has moved up three places in the list to seventh with a score of 37.5 this year as against the tenth rank in 2019. Besides this, MakeMyTrip has slipped to eighth place with a score of 37.1 and Flipkart is currently at the ninth spot with 35.3 scores. YouGov also revealed that brands like Tata Motors (3.3) and Samsung Smartphones (+2.4) are other names that complete the list of top 10 improvers of 2020. Digital brands dominate the global ranking and with good reason. By their very nature the likes of Google, YouTube, and WhatsApp are available in most places on Earth to anyone with internet access.
YouGov Brand Index carried out 8 million interviews in different corners of the world every year who answer questions about a company’s quality, value and their level of satisfaction with the brand, among other measures. It functions in more than 40 countries covering markets in North America, South America, Europe, Africa, Asia, the Middle East and Australia.

The handset has a metallic frame on its edges and while the right one has the volume rocker keys and the power button sandwiched on it, the secondary microphone is on the top and the SIM tray, primary microphone, Type-C port and speaker grille are on the bottom.
Flip the device over and you will be greeted by its 6.56-inch Full HD+ AMOLED display that has a refresh rate of 90Hz and comes with HDR10+ certification. The screen is outlined by very thin bezels on all four sides, and this adds to the premium looks of the device. The display also has a hole-punch cut-out selfie camera on the top left and a fingerprint scanner is embedded towards the bottom.
The display is undoubtedly one of the best aspects of the smartphone. The colours projected are bright and vibrant and they remained consistent at different viewing angles. The images were sharp and clear at all times and it was a delight to play games and watch content from YouTube on it. The sunlight readability of the smartphone’s display was decent too.
To put it in a nutshell, the design as well as the display of Vivo X50 are definitely among its pros and were both very impressive. The phone is beautiful to look at and the display is a treat to the eye.
The customised-Android skin of the smartphone comes with a number of customizations. First and foremost, there is bloatware on the device. You’ll find some apps like Angry Birds, PhonePe and Facebook, and a number of others that are Vivo’s own. We should mention that Vivo’s own app cannot be uninstalled from the smartphone.
There are a number of app shortcuts and the device comes with a Digital Wellbeing feature as well. You also have the option of customizing the lighting effects for call or other notifications in the Settings section.
Moving further, the performance of Vivo X50 is really good. The biometric locks of the device work very smoothly and any function that you may wish to perform happens instantly thanks to the processor and the display with such a good refresh rate. There were times when we multitasked a lot on the handset, but did not face a problem even once.
Gaming on the smartphone is another aspect that got us all happy and excited inside. We played a lot of Asphalt 9: Legends and Call of Duty and the device handled them both very well. There is a Game Space app on the device that can be used to keep all the games in one place. Using this can also help you block incoming calls when you are playing a game and it locks the brightness of the display. You can also use it to record your screen while gaming. Even after prolonged gaming sessions, Vivo X50 did not heat up, and we think that’s definitely a pro.
The 4,200mAh battery of the smartphone easily lasts more than a day even with heavy usage that involves gaming, long phone calls, a lot of video recording, watching content on YouTube and using social media apps. With moderate usage, the device will easily last two days. Using the bundled charger, the battery of the smartphone can be charged completely within an hour.
The handset has a metallic frame on its edges and while the right one has the volume rocker keys and the power button sandwiched on it, the secondary microphone is on the top and the SIM tray, primary microphone, Type-C port and speaker grille are on the bottom.
Flip the device over and you will be greeted by its 6.56-inch Full HD+ AMOLED display that has a refresh rate of 90Hz and comes with HDR10+ certification. The screen is outlined by very thin bezels on all four sides, and this adds to the premium looks of the device. The display also has a hole-punch cut-out selfie camera on the top left and a fingerprint scanner is embedded towards the bottom.
The display is undoubtedly one of the best aspects of the smartphone. The colours projected are bright and vibrant and they remained consistent at different viewing angles. The images were sharp and clear at all times and it was a delight to play games and watch content from YouTube on it. The sunlight readability of the smartphone’s display was decent too.
To put it in a nutshell, the design as well as the display of Vivo X50 are definitely among its pros and were both very impressive. The phone is beautiful to look at and the display is a treat to the eye.
The customised-Android skin of the smartphone comes with a number of customizations. First and foremost, there is bloatware on the device. You’ll find some apps like Angry Birds, PhonePe and Facebook, and a number of others that are Vivo’s own. We should mention that Vivo’s own app cannot be uninstalled from the smartphone.
There are a number of app shortcuts and the device comes with a Digital Wellbeing feature as well. You also have the option of customizing the lighting effects for call or other notifications in the Settings section.
Moving further, the performance of Vivo X50 is really good. The biometric locks of the device work very smoothly and any function that you may wish to perform happens instantly thanks to the processor and the display with such a good refresh rate. There were times when we multitasked a lot on the handset, but did not face a problem even once.
Gaming on the smartphone is another aspect that got us all happy and excited inside. We played a lot of Asphalt 9: Legends and Call of Duty and the device handled them both very well. There is a Game Space app on the device that can be used to keep all the games in one place.
