There is about to be a shake-up in the world of smartphones with the release of a device that appears to go against the grain. At the intersection of mobile and drone picture-taking, the new phone from Vivo brings a flying camera module, a giant 200-megapixel drone lens, 5G connectivity and a massive 7,500mAh battery all packed in a surprisingly slim body and priced at a surprisingly aggressive ₹12,999 (in India).
It’s an incredible mixture that promises to unleash a whole new range of creative possibilities for the consumer, at the same time as redefining what the concept of a smartphone can really mean.
For many people, their phone is more than just a communication device.It’s their main camera, gaming console, maps app and social toolkit.
With this latest Vivo smartphone, it seems the company is aiming not just the daily necessities but also those who appreciate aerial shots, dynamic video capture, and all-day battery back-up. If it lives up to expectations, this device can carve a niche in the saturated smartphone market by having a few features that not many others can offer at the same price.
Design and Build Quality
Vivo’s new flying camera phone is about practical innovation. The phone’s body is familiar it’s the sleek monolithic slab shape with glass (or glass-like) on the front and back, and a metal or metal-like frame on the sides. The headline feature, though, is the mini drone camera module that sits at the top of the phone.
This flying lens is meant to detach (or extend) from the phone and hover or fly under the control of the phone. It still feels solid, and the design language makes it very clear that this isn’t just any ordinary smartphone this is a mobile-aerial imaging combo. The design and build quality are solid.
Living up to contemporary aesthetic standards, the front panel features thin bezels all around that house the display which takes up most of the surface area. Even with the flying camera accessory, the device surprisingly remains comfortable to hold and use.
The camera module is designed to retract when not flying, for a clean look and so as not to interfere with everyday use. Buttons, ports, and everything else is standard: a USB‑C port, SIM tray, volume rocker, and power key. The aesthetic decision is is an inspiring blend of usability and innovation.
Display Features
The display on this Vivo phone packs a punch. The screen size is big, which is suitable for both daily use and special camera/drone features. There are vivid colours, deep blacks and crisp resolution ideal for reviewing photography, consuming video or just general day-to-day use.
The refresh rate is high, making all animations, scrolling, and interactions smooth and it is even more important when you are driving a flying module or looking at aerial footage. Touch response is just as important, as flyable cameras require you to make precise, immediate inputs.
The interface also integrates contemporary wireless connections to the flying camera, delivering live previews and controls directly on the display. So, when the module takes off, you can watch live feed, pan, zoom or tilt the lens all right on your phone’s screen.
The viewing experience is further enhanced with minimal frame and high brightness level for outdoor use. All said, the screen makes certain this phone isn’t all flash it provides enough real estate for you to actually make use of it every day.
Camera & Drone Lens Capabilities
The highlight is the 200 MP flying drone camera lens integrated on the phone. This isn’t any normal smartphone front-lens: it’s instead a mini-drone module that can be detached or deployed from the phone and fly to take pictures and videos from views you just can’t get with a fixed lens.
Think aerial shots at arm’s length, sweeping panoramas, tracking shots of moving subjects, or dramatic overhead views all operated with your phone. The brand says the module is liteweight, stable, and seamlessly integrated with the phone’s camera software.
The rear camera system remains excellent as well, flying lens or no flying lens. The flying module takes care of aerial and unusual angles, while the back cameras take care of the standard smartphone snaps: wide, ultra-wide, telephoto or macro (if you’re lucky enough to have this kind of configuration).
The 200 MP drone lens offers extraordinary detail from above and distant angles; the back sensors provide everyday versatility. The phone also allows for high‑resolution video recording, presumably up to 4K or higher, and includes other features such as HDR, optical image stabilization, and advanced autofocus. Photography fans, this one’s for you! This pairing really blends the unique with the useful.
Performance & 5G Connectivity
This Vivo phone has 5G under the hood for fast mobile Internet, low latency, and more network responsiveness. When streaming your aerial footage, uploading content, or gaming online, 5G performance is important. The chip is powerful enough not only to handle smartphone tasks, but the added demands of flying camera control, live video streaming and editing.
Presumably the brand has fine-tuned the chipset to deliver on a steady performance with reasonable power consumption and thermal dissipation especially since a flying module may incorporate sensors, motors and wireless control.
Rumored Ram and storage-variants are anticipated to let the users to multitask seamlessly @ store plenty of media files- especially when you tend to click high-res snaps and shoot videos using a drone lens.
Software The software experience is tailored to handle everyday tasks with ease: navigation, social apps, photography, video playback and flying module controls seamlessly integrated. You are also future- ready for network advancements with 5G built‑in.
Battery Life & Charging
Among the major highlights of this new Vivo smartphone is the massive 7,500 mAh battery. In smartphones, battery life is still a major concern for users particularly when using power-intensive applications such as flying cameras, video recording, gaming, and live broadcasting.
A battery of this magnitude means prolonged use without the need for a recharge. You can capture more aerial footage, roam 5G networks, and run the phone through its paces on heavy-duty tasks without worrying about battery life. Charging support is expected to be up to date including fast wired charging and possibly wireless or reverse wireless charging but exact details will depend on the final model.
The design allows for the battery to keep up with the flying camera module and the daily use. Long battery life combined with 5G and an innovative camera system makes this phone ideal for users who push their device to the limit every day.
Pricing and Value Proposition
At a price of only ₹12,999 in India, this Vivo phone is value for money. For a gadget that sports a flying drone lens, 200 MP camera, 5G connectivity and 7,500 mAh battery, this price point is very bold. It sets the phone apart as a disruptor with attributes that typically belong to premium-segment devices, but with a mainstream price tag.
For consumers wanting innovation, photography freedom, and connectivity that’s future‑proof, “the phone” couldn’t get much better. Cost-conscious buyers can take advantage of state-of-the-art features without shelling out a premium.
So you don’t have to choose if you want aerial pics, a big battery or 5G today. This value proposition would surely drive keen interest, and could prompt reactions from rivals. For many in India, this could be the go‑to device when it comes to innovation and cost-efficient solutions.
Who Is This Phone For
6 Vivo Switches On It’s Gamer-Focused Smartphone The V25 Pro This Vivo phone is tailored for power users, content creators, Vloggers and photography freaks who want more than your regular smartphone shots. The flying camera lens enables aerial shots, dynamic angles and more creativity.
Simultaneously, its large battery combined with 5G accessibility means it can take the pace of your demanding usage. And diners running-of-the-mill shoppers who just want a powerful all-round phone that’s ready for the future will be convinced by this device.
If you like to shoot vid, do social media, travel a lot, or you just want to have fun with the camera this phone makes a decent match for 3. It also may appeal to younger buyers and tech‑savvy users who value bold features and value. For them, all the drama (flying lens) with the substance (battery, 5G, value) will sink in.
Potential Losses & Things to Consider
The technology is cool, but there are a few caveats for users. Flying drone lens, while thrilling, may has durability and safety issues: flying units are subject to motion, wind and damage. Users need to know how the mechanism is secured, what if it falls, and are replacement parts available.
Module and big cell size can also lead to increased battery and weight. Some users may feel that phone is a bit heavy or bulkier than simpler models. None of this is to say the price isn’t right for the feature set, but it is essential to make sure software support, repair services, module reliability and update commitments are equally strong. Being a novel product, this could be a bit of a rough ride for early adopters.
Network availability (5G bands), flying-module regulations (depending on region), and compatibility with accessories may also be factors to check. And as with all the phones, the real experience will not be the specs, but actual real world use.
Compare With Other Phones
The gap is glaring when you put this Vivo device on the scale against other smartphones at the similar price/market tier. There are quite a few phones under ₹10,000‑₹15,000 with good specifications, but none that I know of that come with a flying drone lens, 7,500 mAh battery, coupled with 5G.
Normally, you’d have to pay a lot more for unusual features or a larger battery. So, in this Vivo product, this Vivo device punchs beyond the price. Users who value unique features, camera versatility, and battery capacity will find it very difficult to beat at this price point. Even high-end phones are way more expensive and no flying camera module.
