It also boasts some flagship specifications such as a triple rear camera configuration comprising of a 48MP primary shooter backed by an 8MP sensor and a 5MP tertiary sensor, an in-display fingerprint scanner as well as fast charging.

The Vivo V15 Pro is a camera-centric handset but also has the processing power to back it up. The model will launch in a single configuration and is powered by an octa-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 675 SoC that’s paired with 6GB RAM and 128GB onboard storage. The storage can be expanded to a further 256GB by way of a micro SD card. The front-facing 32MP pop-up selfie camera is the highlighted feature here but the triple rear camera setup is by no means a slouch as it features a 48MP Quad Pixel sensor that’s assisted by an 8MP and a 5MP sensor. Vivo has used a 6.39-inch Super AMOLED Ultra View Full HD+ display that’s protected by Corning Gorilla Glass.

The Vivo V15 Pro runs on FunTouch OS 9 that’s based on Android 9.0 Pie and includes all the nifty tricks that are available with Google’s latest and greatest OS. Featuring an in-display fingerprint sensor that’s of the fifth generation, Vivo claims that it can unlock the handset in 0.37 seconds. Lastly, to keep the handset alive, the brand has added a 3700mAh battery that supports Dual Engine Fast Charge.

With Vivo pricing the V 15 Pro aggressively in India at Rs 28,990, it goes head to head with the likes of the Nokia 8.1 and Samsung Galaxy A9.
