Editorial report

vivo X51 5G 8 GB / 256 GB / Global technical sheet

The vivo X51 5G suits buyers who want a standout display and versatile cameras; the main trade-off is its 4,315 mAh battery, which holds less than most phones launched around the same time. Its 33 W charging, however, is faster than that of most phones of its time.

The 6.56″ AMOLED display pairs a 90 Hz refresh rate—average for its time—with 1,300 nits of peak brightness, among the best figures. Its 398 ppi pixel density is also above average. The configuration shown has 8 GB of RAM and 256 GB of storage for apps and files.

The camera is better than most phones launched around the same time. Its f/1.6 aperture is among the best, and the telephoto camera’s 2x optical zoom is also among the strongest figures. The main camera has optical image stabilization. Performance is better than most: the phone records 333,912 in AnTuTu v8. Connectivity also stands above most phones of its time, with 5G, NFC, and dual-SIM support.

With a NeoScore of 6.1, the vivo X51 5G is a stronger fit for buyers who prioritize the display, photography, and connectivity than for those who want a high-capacity battery.
