vivo's midrange has evolved so much in terms of spec. Who would've thought! The V27 is a pretty neat phone in a thin and light body 👍

Been using mine for close to a month now. It's a great phone with really nice cameras. Only major con to me are the speakers but i use a headset most times so i can ignore that

Got this phone and 100% recommend it. I mostly listen on headsets so haven’t tested out the speakers yet, only once, and they are pretty loud. Cameras (way more features than I thought) and performance are excellent (no heating issues)- don’t worry about vivo software or anything, it’s all smooth and refined and very customizable. The case provided in the box is very nice and has protected the phone from its first fall. Haven’t dropped it again yet and don’t plan to. It comes with a fast charger and brick and even though the battery life is average it charges up very fast. I do like the design as well, you can’t tell the frame is plastic and I’m pretty sure the camera island is metal. It’s a great phone for anyone, even if you’re coming from a higher phone, I don’t think it will be too much of a downgrade. If you’re coming from an older or sub $200 device, this will be a huge upgrade.

I've been using Vivo V27 for a month. Almost all features are good especially the camera.

The only thing i don't like about it is when i am recording music (direct &interfaced) it has bad audio e

My previous phone was a redmi note 10 pro, and some of its features that i like are not available in vivo v27 such as 3.5mm, IP53, Stereo speakers and listening to youtube while the screen is off.

I mean this phone is like one of the most popular in my country. For the specs and the quality you get for the price, its no wonder.

I wish the Vivo V27 and the V27 Pro have stereo speakers for better audio quality and atleast, should also have ingress protection like an IP53/IP54 certification.

Hi, I wanna ask which one is better in terms of camera
Footage, portrait, video
Vivo v27 or Samsung galaxy a54.
And please reply to me the answer and thank you.

So biggest disadvantage of both v27 s: single 'loud'speaker too silent ("average loudness").

[xxiamlostxx_dreams_]

this series is probably vivo's best midrangers they have made yet

[xxiamlostxx_dreams_]

This is way better than A54..only issue might be updates..

Mine had performance issues since it's always crashing when using emulators.
Also battery drain is quite fast even in standby but that's about it.
Great phone but had to return mine because of those issues (just unlucky with unit).

[Olinad]

This or realme 11 pro plus? I'm more into camera and video

[badboybarrio]

Y27 or Oppo A77s? I am in between these two budget phones for my kid.

[polyacro]

Monospeaker in 2023 is just not for me, but if it does have stereo, i pick it regardless of its spec cuz this phone is hella light

[md.omarsanee]

How do I understand which one is international or which one is Asia variant?

[Im_Z_]

6:53 a53 is 450 dollar, v27 is around 350 dollar .

[glennyasay]

what kind of glass protection have on v27?

[harik]

I love this phone. More than 11hr screen on time I am getting with zero heating ❤
Dimensity 7200 is a gem guys. ❤

Selfie takes better pictures than back cameras.
