This phone is perfect for:

- Gamers who play for long hours without heating issues
- People who want a premium-looking phone without spending ₹1 lakh
- Photography lovers who want OIS and a 50MP camera
10. Final Verdict – Should you buy it?
My honest answer is YES!
For ₹40,000, you are getting:
- A phone that runs for 2 days on a single charge
- A premium curved display with 120Hz smoothness
- A great 50MP Sony camera with stabilization
- A phone that stays cool while gaming
The plastic back and 44W charging are small issues. But when you get a 7050mAh battery and a 120Hz curved AMOLED display at this price, these small cons do not matter. Vivo has made a great comeback with the S2!
