REVIEW: JOVI V70 5G has a super battery and a 200MP camera.

After almost a year, the JOVI launches the successor to JOVI V50 in Brazil. O JOVI V70 5G It comes with several features inherited from its predecessor, such as the ring light-style flash and the excellent battery (even better here). However, it's worth mentioning that... JOVI They chose a simpler design for inspiration this year, making this smartphone inferior to the previous model. Want to know all about it? Check out our full review now:

Design

The new JOVI V70 It arrives with a design similar to the previous model, but we need to address the elephant in the room. At the launch of JOVI V50, it was inspired by LIVE V50, basically changing the device's logo. At this year's launch, the JOVI was inspired by VIVO V70 FEinstead of LIVE V70 conventional. Therefore, what we have here is a model with a name that seems to be that of a successor, but which is actually a simplified model.

In terms of design, we can already see this on the back. It returns with the ring light-style flash as a highlight on the rear of the smartphone. However, I noticed that the camera module is less inspired and more conventional here, and it no longer has the partnership with [brand name]. ZEISSThe device arrives in Brazil in the following colors: Northern Lilac e Sapphire Blue (that which we received).

Still on the rear, in addition to the logo of JOVI And as for the camera module, there's nothing else left, and it's made of plastic, meaning we had a downgrade Over here. In the previous model, this part was glass (in red). It's worth mentioning, however, that this back is quite nice and is now flat, instead of having rounded edges. And without a case, it shows fingerprints very easily.

The sides are made of aluminum and contain only the power and volume buttons (a single button here). On the top, there is a microphone and an infrared sensor. The bottom houses the physical SIM card tray, another microphone, a Type-C port, and one of the speakers.

On the front, the screen is almost entirely utilized, except for the small teardrop notch for the front camera and a small bezel on the sides. At the top is where the other speaker is located, and the screen is also flat, without rounded edges.

It weighs 200 grams and is 7,59 millimeters thick. Furthermore, it offers durability. IP69K It is water and dust resistant, meaning it can withstand water for up to 30 minutes at a depth of one and a half meters, which is a relief in case of accidents. It also features an in-display fingerprint reader.

Just like the previous model, the device's box is well-stocked. The highlight is the charger... 90W with technology BlueVoltIn addition to a case and screen protector already installed on the smartphone screen.

Fabric

The JOVI V70 5G features a 6,83″ AMOLED screen with FHD+ resolution (1260×2800 pixels) and a 120Hz refresh rate, as well as a peak brightness of 1.900 nits.

The smartphone uses glass. Diamond Shield da SCHOTTwhich combines a lithium-aluminosilicate structure with a deep ion exchange process, delivering better impact resistance, but it still doesn't quite match other screen technologies like those of Gorilla Glass VictusHe still brings 440 dpiIn other words, besides the great colors, it will be impossible to find anything in low resolution on its screen.

At maximum brightness, we see another big difference. JOVI V50 5Ghe was able to achieve incredible 4500 nits peak brightness is something the new model can't achieve. The 1900 nits are far from bad, but still inferior. Finally, it's worth mentioning that it has... HDR10 + which delivers better contrast for compatible apps, such as Netflix and other streaming services, in addition to games such as Red Dead Redemption.

Thanks to these combinations, in terms of screen, the new JOVI It's quite impressive for any activity. Under sunlight, it doesn't perform as well as the previous model, but it still boasts a high peak brightness.

Processor and Graphics

The processor chosen for the JOVI V70 5G it was the Mediatek Dimensity 7360-TurboThis is a mid-range chipset with eight cores that delivers high performance, reaching clock speeds of up to 2,5 GHz. In my experience, both in multitasking and with more demanding apps like games, everything ran smoothly without bottlenecks or crashes. This is also due to... GPU Arm Mali-G615 MC2, who works frequently of 1.047 MHz.

This model brings the Turbo The name suggests it offers optimization focused on games, prioritizing good performance and avoiding frame rate drops. I was able to play basic games such as Candy Crush e marvel snapbut I also tested more demanding games such as Red Dead Redemption And in all cases, the experience was very satisfactory.

The model also has a vapor chamber that helps to expel hot air and is only activated when more demanding activities are performed on the smartphone, such as watching streaming series or playing high-performance games.

Insights

I tested the JOVI V70 5G No. AnTuTu Benchmark and GeekbenchHe did well in both, and you can see the results below:

System and interface

O JOVI V70 5G arrives in Brazil already in Android 16 with a new interface. Instead of FunTouchThe new model receives the Origin OS 6This new version is much more similar to the iOS and it brings features such as Dynamic Island, One control center e notification center Redesigned and more customizable.

It will also receive 4 operating system updates, reaching up to... Android 20In addition to a 6-year guarantee of security updates.

In the previous model, I remember complaining that the OS looked aesthetically outdated, lacking many features that are now convenient, such as quick access to volume and brightness. This has been fixed in the new version. The music player has also changed its appearance, now with a transparent background and easy access to menus like pause and play.

For those who are more enthusiastic, know that the OS is quite customizable, allowing you to change the colors, lock screen with special effects, unique icons, and more. Always on Display Full of possibilities. The fingerprint reader effect also returns here. The Ring light It also lights up for calls and notifications, if you want.

However, I noticed that the possibilities related to Ring light They are more limited. This is also reflected when using the camera, but the LED used here no longer has a warm tone, only a cool tone, giving us fewer possibilities.

Artificial Intelligence

As in the previous model, the functions of Artificial Intelligence do JOVI V70 5G They are more limited, but with some good photography features.

It comes with a Smart sidebar activated. Through it, it is possible to use the Screen translation where the system takes a screenshot using the Google Lens and translates the entire screen. Other Google features, such as Gemini, Circle to search and other Google AI features are included out of the box.

Regarding images, when opening a photo in the gallery, it's possible to use three features: Erase with AI, AI-powered UHD e Adjustment color with AIA fourth option called Removing people with AI It may also be available depending on the image selected. Check the result below:

There are also two new features here, the Research with AI and AI CreationBoth are accessed in the app of Notes or JOVI They work like this: you type or send audio in a new note and then tap the icon. AIYou need to create or log in to an account. JOVIAfter that, choose whether you want and need what you want and need, and ask the AI ​​to help you.

It's very similar to what we've been seeing for some years now with the Galaxy A.I. and it can greatly facilitate certain types of note-taking and brainstormingIs it revolutionary? No, but it can be a great tool to have in your daily life and automate certain things.

Memory and storage

O JOVI V70 5G It arrives in Brazil in two versions: 256GB ou 512GB storage. In both versions, it has 8GB of RAMIt supports an additional 8GB of virtual RAM, which borrows some storage space to keep more apps open.

The version we received for testing is the one that 512GB of storage And with so much space, installing apps and taking photos and videos is no challenge at all. Good decision by JOVI And I hope more manufacturers will choose to put it at a minimum. 256GB on their smartphones.

Connectivity

O JOVI V70 5G It has WiFi 6 (802.11 a/b/g/n/ac/6) and is compatible with 5G networks for mobile data. It is dual-SIM and, unlike the previous model, is now compatible with... eSIMAn important detail here is that the eSIM "uses" one of the device's existing SIM card slots; in other words, you can't use two physical SIM cards plus the eSIM. One of the two will be sacrificed.

It is also NFC compatible for contactless payments and does not have a Micro SD card slot. To use your wireless headphones, it has... Bluetooth 5.4, which ensures broad compatibility with accessories, even though it is not the latest version.

It also features an under-display fingerprint sensor with optical technology. The response is fast and highly functional. Finally, it also includes an infrared sensor that can be used to control TVs, projectors, and many other electronics and appliances.

Audio

As with many other smartphones, the JOVI V70 5G It features two speakers, guaranteeing a stereo sound experience. The quality is quite satisfactory for gaming and loud enough for receiving calls, and it's also better than the previous model.

The smartphone does not have any type of audio certification such as Dolby AtmosFor example, but it still performs well in games and even for listening to music without headphones. Speaking of games, the gaming software brings the Audio Gaming HyperSense which enhances the sound, creating a surround sound environment under these conditions.

Regarding use with headphones, I've only had experience with the... Galaxy Buds2 And she was super positive. The sound is good and flawless, and I didn't have the sound problems of the previous model involving low volume, for example.

Battery and charging

O JOVI V70 5G It has an incredible battery of 7.000 mAhThat's a lot for a device under 7 inches. This results in an excellent experience where, unless you spend the day gaming, you'll need to charge it every two days or so. The battery features JOVI's proprietary BlueVolt technology, which ensures longer daily use and guarantees four years of operation before any potential problems.

Charging is done via the included 90W charger, which works in two ways: upon connection, you can choose a slightly slower charge, or the maximum power charge if you're in a hurry. In about 30 minutes, the device is fully charged and ready for another 2 days of moderate use, which is excellent.

My experience involved playing games for a few hours. Red Dead Redemption, lots of camera testing, music on YT MusicAmong other everyday apps, it still held up for more than a day of use without any problems.

Rear cameras

O JOVI V70 5G It has two rear cameras: a main camera. 200 SM in standard Wide and a UltraWide of barely 8 SMThe main lens is excellent and manages to capture a lot of detail and has good colors, especially in brighter and more colorful locations, such as images of nature or open spaces during the day.

The Ultrawide lens seems like a step backward to me. The previous model had a lens that... 50 SM This camera captures more detail. Not only that, but the aperture of this model is smaller, resulting in less light being captured and, obviously, a worse final result as well.

The smartphone still lacks a telephoto lens, but the zoom is impressive. Previously it was possible to reach 20x, and now it's possible to go up to 30x. Because it's a digital process, results at very high zoom levels tend to be blurry and have reduced resolution. However, in nighttime images, it's still possible to take a picture of the moon, for example. Furthermore, when using more than 10x zoom, the camera app allows you to use... Telephoto enhancement, a function that uses AI to assist in image post-processing.

The problem with this function is that, by using generative AI, instead of enhancing the image through post-processing, for example, it "invents" things. I took a picture of my dog, and when I tried to "enhance" the photo, my dog's body ended up full of textures. The idea is cool, but the result tends to be bad most of the time. Check it out:

O JOVI V50 5G It delivered a much more interesting result in the photos, even more so because of the partnership with... ZEISS in the images. This also added some filters. bokeh Very unique features of the smartphone that are absent from the current model.

I also noticed that the V70 doesn't have a macro function for photos, probably due to lens limitations. UltraWide, which is much more basic here. In videos, it can record up to 4K at 30 frames and FHD at 60 frames.

Frontal camera

The front camera of JOVI V70 5G It's a 32MP camera and in my tests, it delivers quite competent results. I liked the colors and the details, even in night photos, with the help of the screen flash. The portrait mode didn't appeal to me, with an often imprecise cutout and resulting in excessive sharpness in the image.

In videos, it records up to 4K at 30 frames per second, and also features a facial stabilization system. Check out some photos taken with the smartphone:

Price and availability

The JOVI V70 5G, successor to JOVI V50, it can now be purchased on the Brazilian market at prices of R$ 3.499 for the 256 GB version. e 3.999 BRL for the option of 512 GBThe device is available for sale at major carriers and retail chains across the country, as well as official online stores and the brand's physical store located in... Shopping Ibirapuera, in Sao Paulo.

To complete the user support, the brand also offers five years of free periodic check-ups, guaranteeing the proper functioning of the hardware over time.

Conclusion

O JOVI V70 5G It's an excellent smartphone for everyday tasks and also for gaming. In terms of photos, it takes good pictures in well-lit places and where you don't need much zoom, but it undeniably falls short of what's expected for a mid-range model of its level.

The smartphone also relies on AI features, with the text processing capabilities being excellent and useful, while the image processing and camera usage deliver results that depend heavily on the best possible scenario to work.

The kit that JOVI includes with the smartphone deserves praise, featuring an excellent charger, case, and screen protector already applied, in addition to their unique warranty system.

The biggest drawback of the device, however, is its price. R$3.500it is possible to acquire one Galaxy S25 base, a true top-of-the-line model that, except for the battery, manages to offer better features in every aspect. And if battery life is the problem, you can opt for the... Galaxy S25+It's a good smartphone, but unfortunately it's a bit pricey for what it offers. Looking for deals below [price]. R$3000It then becomes interesting.
