Watch: Gaming with Vivo V17 Pro

To recall, the Vivo V17 Pro is a handset packed with the 11nm 2.0GHz Snapdragon 675 octa-core chip with Adreno 612 GPU. Vivo also added 8GB RAM for multitasking.

While the SoC and RAM weren't upgraded, Vivo added a speedier 128GB UFS 2.1 storage to make your apps and games load faster.

Vivo also noted that it has added some tweaks in its software to make the gaming experience better.

Moreover, this device now has a large 4,100mAh battery coming from just 3,700mAh.

In addition, V17 Pro has a larger 6.44-inch 20:9 cinematic AMOLED display to let you have a better viewing experience.

We tried some graphic intensive games like the NBA 2K20 and the new Call of Duty Mobile and we never had issues on their gameplay.

AND yes, we loaded those games on max settings.

The temperature of its CPU remained at an acceptable level even after playing for quite some time.

We also like that it has the Ultra Game Mode feature.

It has  Game Assistant to enable pop-up for game-related optimizations, game slider for quick controls, allow to enjoy hands-free background calls, reject calls, block notifications, and more.

Our thoughts

The result? At PHP 21,999, for us, the Vivo V17 Pro is a respectable gaming phone despite not having a more powerful chipset.
