Camera comparison between Vivo X90 pro+ and Pixel 7 pro.

According to the review, pixel is more natural. That is true.

But Vivo has many modes to choose from, if you want natural, make sure you pick the natural colour mode instead of the default.



Vivo has many modes for the photographer to choose :-

i"m not a tech pro person, but still able to install the google playstore quite easily. There are few methods available online which can be easily found through YT.

As for the google map timeline, android auto, google wallet, luckily all these app are not compulsory to me. Plus I'm aware of it way before I decided to proceed with the purchase. (I'm the kind of person who always survey 1st  sweat.gif )

I almost pull the trigger for Xiaomi phones, but luckily get to know their issues before I did it. Since then this brand never come across my mind anymore no matter how good the specs are.

Anyway, I think Malaysia Vivo X90 series going to launch soon after CNY, judging from their marketing widely seen online already. Lets see whether any price increment and what kind of early bird offers Vivo MY will provide...

Things might have changed quite a bit.

From I have read, the previous convenient ways to install play store, by installing Gmail from Vivo store first, might not be working anymore.

Now the Vivo store provides a "ourplay", but that is an emulator for playstore, your usual android app is run over the emulator, they are not actually installed. When you delete "ourplay", your apps installed from playstore is automatically deleted.

Let me know how to install the actual playstore without "ourplay".

Solve the play store issue by :-

1. Install Gmail from vivo play store and run it to allow it to install other related Google services.

2. Install Google keyboard from vivo store and change the keyboard to Google keyboard.

3. Install chrome browser from vivo store. Change permission to allow chrome to install from unknown sources.

4. Use chrome browser to visit apkpure website, look for Google play store APK. Install play store APK.

5. Install Google contacts from playstore.

Maybe missing a few other steps as I got it working after several trial.

I'm just download Google play store APK from APK mirror web site, install and lunch it, work without any extra step
For Google wallet, need to download latest Google play service and install it, then we will able to add credit/debit card

I must have downloaded the wrong file from apkmiror. The downloaded file has extension .apkm, vivo unable to open it and install it. Apkmiror created its own file format and that is so confusing.

Fixed this issue. The folder icon can be resized by long press on it, the icon will show a resize indicator at the bottom right corner. Press on it a few times to cycle the size from 1x1 to 1x2, 2x1 and 2x2, that is if the neighbors has empty space.

Seems new phones have removed the led notification lights. New missed calls or WhatsApp messages come in unnoticed.

Notifybuddy will be a battery drain, but yet it is not working properly.

Maybe configuration problem.

Was busy celebrating CNY for the pass few days.

So far I discover some issues. Some can be fixed, some need to tolerate.

1. FB messenger notification issue.

I always like dark mode for system theme. So no matter how I set the notification for FB messenger, it won't show in the status bar nor sound during incoming msg.

Until I uninstalled and reinstall for few times, plus ask some net friends to screen record his X90Pro+ setting and let me compare. And the culprit was DARK MODE.

You need to put system theme into normal mode, and individually set FB messenger to dark mode(if you prefer it), and voila, notification works fine. It will show in status bar, sounds.

But bear in mind, the sound will only ring for the 1st 2 times of continuous incoming msg, then it will only show msg without any sound. Looks like a bug to me, but already far more better than nothing.

2. Whatsapp & WA Business

Notifications works for both under Personal msg. But when comes to Group msg, issue arise again.

But this round, I can't find any solution and have to tolerate with it.

Group msg will only sound during the 1st incoming msg, from 2nd msg onwards it will not sound at all, but will still shows notification icon at the status bar.

But if you dismiss the notification icon from the status bar, or read the msg inside group chat, the following incoming group msg will work like normal again. Again it seems like a bug to me.

Too bad Vivo App Clone are limited to very few apps only, otherwise I won't need to resort to WA Business in order to have 2 whatsapp in 1 phone.

Vivo app clone works for WhatsApp from what I read. It did not work for you ? I did not try it myself.

Other models I'm not sure, for X90Pro+ I didn't see whatsapp inside the clone list. And mostly supported apps for cloning are chinese apps.

There is a super clone in the play store. Did you try it ?

Congrats thumbup.gif

Just wondering if you did apply tempered glass? On my X80pro, after applying TG, the finger print sensor doesn't detect. The installer said, most likely its due to the U3D fingerprint scanner. Hmm, thinking if I should remove the TG.

Did you try to rerecord the fingerprint?

Right, X80p also works with mask on, thats really helpful and great since it measure many outline points on the face to match even with mask or dark area.

But the things many apps, is not face enabled they still rely on fingerprint, like outlook, authenticator, maybank, mymed (medical), etc. SO had rely on fingerprint.

But with the current trend I do forsee many apps would also cater for face recoq very soon.

Hope your TG works well for you, many dont sell TG for vivo, so only tried with one supplier who did the second try for free, still it didnt work.

BTW, was yours similar to this? do watch the video

Saw a feedback on shopee a buyer said the X90 pro plus could not detect fingerprint after installing the tempered glass screen protector.

X90 pro plus uses newer 3d ultrasonic fingerprint, will have compatible issues with some TG protection just like samseng ultra

The protection film comes with the shipment is a normal soft plastic and the casing exposures almost everything of the phone. I don't like the curve screen and holding the phone feels like holding a pointed edge.

Replaced the casing from the shipment with this one :-

user posted image

This casing covers the back of the big eye and made it into 4 eyes, and the left/right sides are covered by the casing too, gives better grip than the original ( which exposes the original screen rounded edge ).

The left/right sides are still lower than the top and bottom, meaning if place the phone flat with the screen at the bottom, the screen will rub in the table. sad.gif

I think it depends on account. It is strange to say this but I also have whatsapp notification issue on my Mi3 (sold by Mi Malaysia) last time whereas the one I helped my bro get for his wife works just fine for her. 2 years ago bought an IQOO Neo3 5G and guess what, I get this problem again (previously using Samsung all the while). I even showed my customers who complaint I never picked up whatsapp call that I get nothing by asking him to call infront of me. I hard reset the IQOO and passed it to my son who had no problem whatsoever with getting his whatsapp notifications.

I'm not even sure what broke it. Tried those tricks where you locked the app to prevent the task killer from terminating it, etc but nothing helps. I even ported from Maxis->Digi->Maxis->Yoodo->XOX->Hotlink over the years but nothing changed. China ROM plus this number will not get whatsapp notifications. I had no problem getting whatsapp notification from both Realme 6 and GT Neo 3 though(both local set).

I now have two WhatsApp on two devices, one is the vivo X90 pro plus CN set and another is Xiaomi local M'sia set. When a message comes it, I got notification on two devices. I have to admit my traffic is low.

Thanks for the sharing! Do you know roughly how much was it locally? Just wanted to get a price indicator and the price you bought from taobao?

If its affordable, i dont mind walking into lowyat to  check it out. I checked at my area in Subang, couldnt find any.

Thanks bang!

In the video it is mentioned that it costs rm129 for front screen protector plus rm20 for back of the phone. But entitled for a luck draw for a Honda car. LOL.

Other places might be much cheaper. wink.gif

I am waiting for the brave souls to try these things out first.

Actually quite strange with Origin OS.

I chatted with 2 FB friends, one is using Iqoo 9 (upgraded from Origin Ocean to Origin OS 3.0) and another one is using X90Pro+ (spec exactly same like mine).

Iqoo 9 just set his phone without removing the pem using adb, never lock app in the background, not even turn off the smart notification and his iqoo 9 still able to receive notification on time.

While the X90pro+, he used the adb method, never turn off smart notification, never lock app in background, didn't even set high power consumption in background, and yes he too manage to receive notification.

As for me, I combine both of their method PLUS turn off smart notification, only manage to get on time notification.

Anyhow beside unable to use google map timeline and android auto, the rest I'm very pleased with my X90Pro+. Especially I'm finally able to get better & stable line signal (which result a better & smoother data coverage) comparing with my 3yr+ Note 10+. Which from the very beginning already encountering POOR signal reception!!!

I'm so glad that I made a right decision by choosing Vivo as my current device. Hope that Vivo will improve on their arrangement for their Setting Menu as it really take some time to get use to it.  sweat.gif

What does smart notification actually do ? Why it gets in the way of timely notification?
