Display, Industrial Design, and Power Engineering

On the front, the phone is built around a 6.59-inch 1.5K OLED display with 1.07 billion colors and ultra-slim 1.25mm borders. The screen dynamically adapts from an ultra-dim 1-nit eye-comfort setting up to a 5,000-nit local peak brightness for HDR content and direct outdoor sunlight legibility.

The chassis incorporates a floating camera module set into a single-piece cold-carved glass rear panel, braced by an aircraft-grade metal middle frame. Vivo confirmed that the smartphone will launch in three finish options: Sunrise Anthem, Horizon Blue, and Stellar Black.

To support sustained heavy usage, the 7,200mAh battery is rated in testing benchmarks for up to 14 hours of continuous turn-by-turn navigation and up to 39.5 hours of offline media consumption. Using the bundled 90W FlashCharge brick in Fast Charging Mode, the device replenishes from 1% to 50% capacity in approximately 30 minutes.
