Vivo V27 Pro 5G : Despite the homogenized appearance of devices in the smartphone manufacturer where they make their bread and butter, the Vivo V27 Pro 5G dares to break the mold.
It’s polished, pretty and surprisingly potent where it counts – mainly in the camera department.
Actually, if you’re a photo buff, addicted to selfies for some reason, or just want to have a phone that looks as premium as it feels in the hand, then this may just be the phone that you’ve been waiting for.
With its chic curved display and blockbuster design, plus a camera system that is greater than the sum of its parts, the V27 Pro manages something that’s pretty rare: it looks like a fashion statement, but performs like a content creator’s dream.
Design That Demands Attention
Design Discourse So let’s discuss design first — because the Vivo V27 Pro isn’t modest about the way it looks. The most obvious thing is the color-changing back panel. Yes, you read that right.
The rear glass responds to sunlight or UV light and changes color in a subtle but interesting way. It’s a neat trick that separates this phone from nearly every other mid-ranger.
Factor in the slim profile, curved edges, and lightweight design, and you have a phone that not only feels good in the hand but also slides well into any pocket or purse.
The in-hand feel? Absolutely premium. And unlike other chunky competitors, it doesn’t feel like a brick after you’ve been using it for a while.
A DSLR-Quality Camera in Your Pocket
Now here’s the really interesting part. The V27 Pro is equipped with an impressive 50MP Sony IMX766V primary sensor, which is the same sensor you’ll also find in certain top-end phones.
But what takes it to the next level here is the inclusion of Optical Image Stabilization (OIS) coupled with Vivo’s computational photography tech.
Low-light photography? Check. Soft background blur portraits? Easily done. Daytime shots that show sharp detail and strong colors? Absolutely.
This phone not only takes good pictures but shoots them that make you double-check to see if they were captured by a DSLR.
The Portrait Mode is especially noteworthy. Even when shot in low light, your portraits retain natural skin tones and soft, neutral image detail with the new Aura Light ring flash — no harsh flash exposure in sight.
It also makes selfies look professional — the 50MP front camera with autofocusing is ideal for reels, stories, or virtual meetings.
Performance that never lets you down
Inside the hood the Vivo V27 Pro 5G is powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 8200 SoC, which is remarkably nimble in class.
Combined with either 8GB or 12GB of RAM, and available with up to 256GB of storage, this phone powers through everyday use, multitasking and even gaming with ease.
You won’t be slowed down when switching apps, and intensive games like PUBG Mobile and Genshin Impact run well at medium to high settings.
On top of Android 13, the Funtouch OS 13 offers a lot of customization, but it has a cleaner feel compared to past iterations.
Battery & Display: No Misfit Here
You’re getting a 6.78-inch AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate — everything from swiping through your social feeds to watching YouTube and beyond feels buttery smooth. Colors are punchy, blacks are deep, and the brightness is adequate for outdoor use.
Battery-wise, the 4600mAh pack will last you a full day with medium usage, and 66W fast charging will get you back up to 100% in 45 minutes. No waiting around for hours.

Vivo V27 Pro 5G Final Verdict
Looks aren’t the only thing going for the Vivo V27 Pro 5G. It mixes style and substance in a way most mid-range phones just can’t.

In other words, the V27 Pro isn’t out to be the most powerful phone on the face of the planet — but it could end up being the classiest and most picture-friendly phone that money can buy in its price bracket.
