Final Verdict
Vivo Z1 Pro seems a complete package with impressive specifications at the price point. This will be Vivo’s first smartphone in India to bring punch hole display at budget price segment. Though with great specifications this device has some major cons. The device uses a polycarbonate back and still in 2019 Vivo is using Micro USB port for data transfer and fast charging.

Vivo Z1 Pro cannot shoot at 4K and is limited to 1080p at 30 fps. If you do not mind these cons then Vivo Z1 Pro is a great package. The device will give competition to Samsung Galaxy M40, Realme 3 Pro, Redmi Note 7 Pro. We still do not have an official release date or pricing information. Also, India is a price sensitive market, aggressive pricing will help the company to bring some healthy competition.
