What this hardware actually means

Editorial interpretation generated from the device's self-reported fields and our SoC tier database. Cross-reference with the raw fields below; if you spot a contradiction, please tell us.

Platform & performance positioning

The vivo V2196A is built around the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1, a current or recent flagship-tier SoC from Qualcomm. It launched in 2021 on a Samsung 4nm 4LPE process. The early-2022 flagship; widely criticized for thermal throttling due to its Samsung-fabbed process.

Capable of flagship-tier performance in bursts but throttles aggressively under sustained load. Common in 2022 Galaxy S22 series and Xiaomi 12 series.

Day-to-day workload

12 GB LPDDR5 of RAM is ample for any current workload, including multitasking-heavy use and on-device AI. Display resolution is 2400x1080.

This record reflects Android API level 33 (13). Android 13 — still within current support windows; should run all modern apps.

Trust & buying notes

If you're cross-checking a phone advertised as a vivo V2196A, the fields most worth verifying are: Build.MANUFACTURER lowercase-equal to "vivo"; Build.SOC_MODEL set (Android 12+) and consistent with Snapdragon 8 Gen 1. For an automated check, run our Hardware Trust Score from the DevCheck AI app and compare its output against this entry.

For a second-hand purchase, also verify the security patch date is no more than ~12 months old, the boot count is plausible for the claimed age, and battery health is above 85%.
