Vivo is gearing up to launch its next mid-range smartphone, the Vivo V50, in India. As the direct successor to last year’s Vivo V40, it is expected to bring several upgrades. With improved performance, display, and camera features, the device aims to set new standards in the mid-range segment.
Performance: A Familiar Yet Powerful Chipset
Reports suggest that the Vivo V50 will feature the Snapdragon 7 Gen 3 chipset. This 4nm processor is the same one used in the Vivo V40. While the chipset remains unchanged, users can expect optimizations for better efficiency and smoother performance.
Display: A Quad-Curved Panel for a Premium Feel
The biggest design change could be the display. Unlike the Vivo V40, which features a 3D curved display, the V50 is rumored to have a quad-curved screen. This design, inspired by the Vivo X200 Pro, may enhance the visual appeal and grip. Additionally, the 6.67-inch AMOLED panel is expected to support a 120Hz refresh rate and 5,000 nits of peak brightness. In comparison, the Vivo V40 features a slightly larger 6.78-inch curved panel with 4,500 nits of brightness.
Camera: A Shift in Sensor Choices
The Vivo V50 is expected to house a 50MP main camera with Optical Image Stabilization (OIS) and an 8MP ultra-wide sensor. In contrast, the Vivo V40 comes with a 50MP main camera and a 50MP ultra-wide lens. While the ultra-wide resolution is lower in the V50, OIS in the main sensor may improve image stability. The front camera is likely to remain unchanged at 50MP.
Battery and Design: A Slim Build with More Power
Battery life sees a notable improvement. The Vivo V50 is expected to pack a 6,000mAh battery, an upgrade from the 5,500mAh unit in the Vivo V40. Faster charging speeds have not been confirmed, but 80W wired charging could be retained.
Vivo may also introduce a new Rose Red color option for the V50, inspired by Indian weddings. This addition could make the device more appealing to Indian consumers. The phone is also expected to maintain a slim and premium design.
Launch Timeline: Coming Sooner Than Expected
Vivo India has teased the launch on X (formerly Twitter) with a post hinting at an imminent release. While the official launch date remains unknown, reports indicate that the V50 could debut in February 2025.
Conclusion: An Exciting Upgrade for Mid-Range Buyers
The Vivo V50 brings subtle but meaningful upgrades over the Vivo V40. A quad-curved display, a larger battery, and OIS-equipped cameras make it a compelling choice. As the launch nears, more details, including pricing, will become available. If Vivo maintains competitive pricing, the V50 could be one of the top mid-range smartphones in India this year.
