Vivo S16 Smartphone Review
Source: OI Spice Tech News
The Vivo S16 comes with decent specs and perks that every user demand from an upper mid-range phone. It brings a powerful chipset configuration accompanied by top-notch display quality with beautiful camera results. Overall, the phone is worth recommending if you are looking for something different with decent photography. But at the same time, the battery life is slightly lower than the competition, though it doesn’t come with wireless or reverse charging support. With that said, there are tons of other options that can replace this phone. For instance, the Xiaomi Redmi K60 offers almost the same attributes, which are also available on the international market.
