I've been using the Vivo S2 for a few days now, and honestly, I quite like it.

The phone feels really nice in hand and has a premium look without feeling too bulky. The display is also something I've enjoyed a lot. Watching videos, scrolling through Instagram and just using the phone feels smooth and comfortable.

The camera has been good for my everyday use. Photos look nice in good lighting, and I especially liked taking portraits and selfies. Night photos are okay but I wouldn't say they're anything special.

For normal day-to-day stuff, I haven't had any major problems with performance. Everything feels pretty smooth, although I wouldn't choose this phone if gaming was my main priority.

Battery life has also been great in my experience. I can get through my day without constantly thinking about charging which is always a big plus for me.

Overall, I think Vivo has made a nice phone here. I really like the design, display, camera and battery. My biggest issue is the price because I feel there are some strong alternatives around this range.

For me, it's a 3.5/5.

I've been using the Galaxy Z Fold 8 for the past few days, and the battery has been better than I expected. Even with a mix of browsing, YouTube, social media, messaging, photos and a bit of gaming, it had no problem lasting through my day.

Most evenings I still had some charge left, so I never felt like I had to keep looking for a charger. For a phone that's this thin and folds in half, that's impressive.

The new wider inner display also makes a noticeable difference. Websites, apps, and videos feel more natural to use and I found myself opening the phone much more often instead of using the cover screen.

Charging is quick enough that even if the battery gets low, it doesn't take long to get back to a comfortable level.

So far, the battery hasn't been a concern for me. If your daily use is similar to mine, getting through a full day shouldn't be a problem. For a slim foldable, Samsung has done a good job balancing battery life with the overall design.
