To recap
As Vivo’s first push into wider markets, we think the X51 - which was called the X50 Pro at its eastern launch - is a bit of a revelation. It delivers an impressive gimbal stabilisation system, a decent overall camera setup, and solid build. The battery isn’t class-leading, but at this price and with these features - plus the software has been improved for this launch - it looks like a future success for Vivo. Well, if the name wasn’t so uninspired.
