Vivo has decided to bring in another member into their smartphone portfolio and this is coming after the release of two high-end awesome smartphones. The name of the new mid-range smartphone is called the V15 Pro.

The new Vivo V15 pro is the first Vivo mid-range smartphone to feature the protruding selfie camera more like a periscope selfie camera.
Despite being a mid-range smartphone, the Vivo V15 still has the 2019 flagship feel and also ships in with rear features that can only be found on most high-end smartphones. This smartphone comes with an all screen display, on-screen fingerprint sensor and a whole lot of things that seem to be too big for a smartphone of its class.
The blessing on this smartphone is way too much for a device of its kind. Can you believe that this smartphone is actually the first smartphone to rock the Snapdragon 675 chipset?

Design
When it boils down to the design of this smartphone, trust me when I tell the design is completely outstanding. There is a strip pattern on the back of this device and it actually looks great on the blue gradient color.
At the front of this smartphone, you will find a nearly bezel-less front panel which is very optically appealing. Meanwhile, the notch is presently trimmed down to the extent that it can no longer contain the proximity, earpiece and the ambient sensors, which are now under the display.
Apart from the screen you and the thin bezels, the front does not house anything. Are you wondering where the selfie camera seats? Vivo actually placed the selfie camera on a motorized slider which I think is a step closer to a complete all screen smartphone. As a matter of fact, Vivo succeeded in achieving a 91.64% screen-to-body ratio.
