Drawbacks of BLU Vivo 8

  • Device is discontinued, limiting availability and support.
  • Runs on the outdated Android 7.0 (Nougat) operating system.
  • MediaTek MT6755 Helio P10 chipset is considered outdated by modern standards.
  • Lacks NFC support, which may be an issue for users who require contactless payment capabilities.
  • Uses microUSB 2.0, whereas USB Type-C is preferred in newer devices for faster data transfer and charging.
  • Limited 10W charging, which is relatively slow compared to fast charging technologies available in newer devices.
  • Screen-to-body ratio of approximately 70.6%, which is lower than what is commonly found in recent smartphones with more edge-to-edge designs.
  • No support for 5G network connectivity, restricted to GSM/HSPA/LTE.
