Hardware
The Vivo V19 Neo is more economical than the Vivo V19. It has a Snapdragon 675 GPU, instead of a Qualcomm Snapdragon 712 core.
The camera hasn’t come with an ultra-wide selfie. Yet, it has a slightly smaller camera module to the back than the Vivo V19 standard.
Our test unit comes in a color reminiscent of the Fancy Sky color model of the Vivo S1 Pro as well as other color variants available from other smartphone manufacturers.
If you turn it around you get the pastel blue gradient with traces of pink and purple. It may not be new but it still looks bright and fresh. In addition, it does an excellent job of hiding marks on fingerprints.
The Vivo V19 Neo has a plastic back and frame combined with the glass front, as it is not a flagship phone. Nevertheless, it doesn’t look or feel shoddy.
Camera
One of the features that Vivo promotes on the Vivo V19 Neo is Night mode. And it’s limited not only to the rear camera but also to the selfie operator. This is the best function with only a little bit of light.
Otherwise, the photos it produces are brighter if you have a light source somewhere, allowing you to get a bit more detail.
Take it out on a warm, beautiful day and it shines. You get good precision in color, vibrancy, and detail. Its artificial intelligence engine enables it to quickly recognize what you are trying to photograph. In our case, it can even identify the pets as cats.
