Model code listed for China; the manufacturer document gives no other regional code.

This record covers the 12 GB model. Usable memory is lower than the label because the system reserves a share.

Usable space is lower than the label because of the system and preinstalled apps.

vivo says 144 Hz applies in gaming scenarios.

On OLED each pixel emits its own light, so blacks turn fully off; typical contrast is listed as 2,000,000:1.

Peak values, not sustained brightness.

The outdoor figure is used only briefly in strong sunlight; normal use sits around 1000 nits.

The manufacturer does not name the front glass.

Sensor-shift stabilisation moves the sensor rather than the lens to counter hand shake; the default capture is 24 MP.

The 200 mm-equivalent teleconverter is sold separately and is not in the box.

ProRes 4K at 60 fps requires recording to external storage over USB-C. Log records a flat profile for colour grading.

90 W is the charger's maximum output; actual power varies with conditions. The wireless charger is sold separately.

The document gives no power figure.

The hardware supports 6.0; some functions will arrive in a later OTA update.

The headset connection takes digital USB-C headsets only.

NFC-SIM payments work only from the SIM 1 slot.

5G dual-SIM works only with some band combinations and with operator SA/VoNR support.

The document gives no update commitment.

The panel rises to 120 Hz when scrolling and gaming and drops its rate for static content to save power, which lets the lock screen stay on.

The 2× image is taken from the centre of the 48 MP sensor; the 15× digital zoom is not optical.

10 Gb/s needs a USB 3 cable; the 1 m cable in the box is a charge cable and does not guarantee that speed.

No adapter is included. Qi2 is a wireless charging standard with magnetic alignment like MagSafe.

mmWave support varies by region. Thread is for low-power networking with smart home devices.

Receiving satellite signals on two frequencies helps reduce position drift between tall buildings.

It replaces the old mute switch; pressing and holding runs the chosen function.
