You will agree with me that what Vivo innovates quickly becomes the industry standard, creating products that are not only stylish but also embody ground-breaking technologies. This is what the Kenyan consumer always wants. We got our hands on the Vivo V17 Pro review unit thanks to the good people at the new Vivo Kenya offices.
We already did the unboxing video for you which you can check below. The V17 Pro is a really unique offering, remember we mentioned Vivo and innovation earlier. It features two pop-up selfie cameras and four more at the back. The device is well built and has a really premium look, despite the all-polycarbonate build. It comes with a 6. It also features a Corning Gorilla Glass 6 for protection. The entire design looks gorgeous, especially the Silk White colour finish that we got for this review. The device sports a nearly all-screen front with no notch, this is good.
It also features relatively slim bezels all around, including the chin. The Vivo V17 Pro comes with an in-display fingerprint sensor which works well and fast. Vivo also made is possible for you to customise the on-screen fingerprint icon and unlock animations. The volume and power buttons are all on the right. This can be done with a short, long or even double press. We are not getting a microSD card slot.
At the top, you have a headphone jack and the pop-up selfie camera. At the back, there are four cameras aligned vertically at the centre. Well, we love the overall design although the phone is a little chunky and heavy but still quite manageable. Vivo did a pretty good job here. Browsing the web, switching between apps, messaging the V17 Pro performs quite well.
User Reviews & Rating
For the software, we are getting Funtouch OS 9. Vivo has not said anything on when we should be getting an Android 10 update on the Vivo V17 Pro. Also, it was our first time using a Vivo smartphone so Funtouch OS really took us some time before we got used to it. However, we found the contrast to be a bit on the higher side in some cases, resulting in deeper blacks in darker areas.
The 13MP ultra-wide sensor creates visualising appealing images. The camera is capable of clicking pictures up to degrees wide. Do not expect a lot of details, especially along the edges.

We also noticed some noise while hunting for more details as we zoomed into the clicked images. The camera takes a couple of seconds, if not more, to shoot images trying to get maximum details possible. A few shots we clicked using the night mode resulted in soft images with a bump in the exposure. Here are some pictures of firecrackers clicked during the Diwali night.
Try to notice the loss of detail and softness on the edges. Typically, many Vivo phones tend to soften the skin and pop up the tone a shade or two higher. In case of the V17 Pro, the softening is a bit less aggressive.

It basically lights up the face while reducing the noise levels. Vivo needs to work on edge detection in the V17 Pro. Notice the ears and hair getting blurred at the edges. The front camera also supports ultra-wide mode selfies, and we would not recommend using it for low-light selfies.
The V17 Pro comes in an all-screen look, which is becoming mainstream in this segment. The 6. There are slim bezels on the sides, with the chin being marginally thicker. The screen is sharp and offers good saturation levels.
The sides, however, are a bit slippery, and we would recommend using a case. In case if you still drop the device, chances are the Corning Gorilla Glass 6 can save the display from cracks and scratches.
