Should You Buy?

The Vivo V15 continues Vivo’s tradition to bring in the most trending features in the mid-range phones and packs in a pop-up selfie camera which allows for a clean notch free experience and has also got triple rear cameras. It captures excellent selfies with great details and the rear cameras also do a good job, especially the wide-angle lens adds a different perspective to the shots. The Vivo V15 despite being build of plastic has a good build quality and fresh gradient design which looks pleasing. It also offers a big display with good quality, good performance, big battery with good backup, fast charging, a very fast fingerprint scanner and latest software. However, despite charging a good amount, the Vivo V15 also cuts out on a few things and offers lower value when compared to its competitors. So, overall it is a good phone but much better phones are available for a lower price and you should not really go for it unless you want the pop-up camera badly!
