The Vivo V11i is a Lite version of the Vivo V11 and it looks exactly like it besides having a few changes made to the snartphone. You still have the nice look and impressive display on it as more of the changes are on the inside. Now you have a MediaTek chipset instead of the Qualcomm SoC on the V11 as well as a different rear camera sensor. In case I didn’t mention, this is a cheaper version of the smartphone because of a little cut down in the hardware section.
Vivo V11i Key Specs and Features
- 6.3-inch, Super AMOLED capacitive touchscreen, 1080 x 2280 pixels (402 ppi)
- Android 8.1 Oreo (Funtouch OS 4.5)
- Octa-core MediaTek Helio P60 CPU with 4GB RAM
- 128GB built-in storage space, up to 256GB with a memory card
- Dual 16MP + 5MP rear camera and a 25MP front camera
- 4G LTE
- Fingerprint scanner (rear)
- 3, 315mAh non removable Li-Po battery
Design and Display
What gives the Vivo V11i away is usually the rear fingerprint scanner whereas the V11 has its own under the screen. Aside that, both smartphones are very much identical in terms of how they look. There is the Halo Full View display with the tear drop notch at the front and a Huawei P20 Pro type of camera arrangement.
Thumbs up to Vivo for bringing the nice display to the Vivo V11i too and at a reduced price. The AMOLED display as you know has a nice contrast to it with deep blacks and vivacious colour display. There is a resolution of 1080 x 2280 pixels layed over a 6.3-inch screen.
Battery and Camera
There should be no problem in getting through the day on the smartphone even if there is a slight reduction in capacity compared to the Vivo V11. The 3, 315mAh on the smartphone is a little above what most average smartphones have and it does have its own fast charge tech inside.
Talking about the photography side of the smartphone, there appears to be an increase in pixel count of the rear camera. While this is true, this doesn’t necessarily translate to better pictures. In that the regard, the 16MP and 5MP camera is still a decent tool for photography with which you can take portrait pictures amongst other features. However, things at the selfies side remains the same with a 25MP camera in place.
Hardware and Software
As far as being recent is, the chipset inside is an up to date mid-range one although from a different maker from that of Vivo V11. Instead, it has a MediaTek Helio P60 CPU also having eight cores and now with a Mali-G72 MP3 GPU.
To further support the cjipset, there is a 4GB RAM and 128GB of space for storage. You can decide to increase your storage space to 256GB if you want to using a memory card. Like a typical Vivo phone, it has Funtouch OS 4.5 on it from Android 8.1 Oreo.
Vivo V11i Pricing and Availability
The smartphone sells for about 112, 000 Naira depending on the deal and your location.
