Vivo X Note, a really impressive ‘phablet’

Vivo X Note was the third device that the Chinese brand presented at its recent event, where we also had the opportunity to see the X Fold folding mobile and a mid-range tablet.

Vivo X Note is a smartphone that impresses. It’s big, really big, with a whopping 7-inch screen, 21:10 aspect ratio, and rounded edges that will be hard to use with one hand, but offers great possibilities as a mobile and also as a tablet.

Its screen is a multi-touch AMOLED signed by Samsung, with the aforementioned 7-inch diagonal and a native resolution raised to 3080 x 1440 pixels. The aspect ratio is unusual for mobile, but it is ideal for media consumption and multitasking. And of great quality by the supplier, the qualification A + of DisplayMate, a maximum brightness of 1,500 nits and a coverage for the DCI-P3 color gamut of 112%.

Hidden behind the screen is an ultrasonic fingerprint reader (a 3D Sonic Max from Qualcomm), which, taking advantage of the screen, is so large that it can read two fingerprints at the same time, which increases access security.

In its internal hardware there are no surprises. Just like the foldable X Note, Vivo assembles the best among what is available, Qualcomm’s most advanced chipset for this year, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1. The SoC has a special cooling system that includes a massive vapor chamber (47,132 mm²) and a graphite sheet. The GPU output can be fed through a MEMC algorithm to increase frame rates without adding additional load to the GPU.

Their cameras are not bad either with optics from the prestigious ZEISS. On the back, it mounts a 50 MP quad ISOCELL GN1 sensor, a 48 MP and 14 mm ultra-wide-angle camera, a 12 MP portrait camera and another with a 5 MP periscope zoom. As for its battery, it offers a capacity of 5,000 mAh with 80-watt fast charging and 50-watt wireless charging.
