Vivo has finally come out to release key details regarding its new V-series smartphone, the Vivo V50. Replacing the Vivo V40, the device promises some notable improvements in battery capacity, design, and durability. Vivo has already confirmed most specifications on its website, but crucial details such as the processor and charging speed are still not confirmed.
In Vivo V50, the IP rating gets upgraded, and there’s a new quad-curved display with a huge 6,000mAh battery. The phone will strongly emphasize design as well as camera capabilities, so delivering a premium experience is what it speaks of.
Vivo V50 Set to Launch with Significant Upgrades
A New Quad-Curved Display for a Sleek Look.The Vivo V50 is supposed to bring a quad-curved display, in contrast to the Vivo V40’s dual-curved screen. Instead of curving on the left and right like most edge displays, this panel will carve an extremely subtle curve over all four edges. This might make it look better and improve the ergonomics of the device.
Unconfirmed is the display technology, but the Vivo may go for the high refresh rate panel of an AMOLED type. It can also ensure that the bezels are more minimally noticeable in the design through the use of a quad-curve approach.
Better Durability through IP68 and IP69 Rating
Vivo has greatly improved the durability of the V50 by equipping it with both IP68 and IP69 ratings. The IP68 rating provides protection against dust and water submersion, while the IP69 certification provides resistance against high-pressure water jets. This combination makes the Vivo V50 one of the most rugged devices in its segment, ensuring better longevity and reliability.
This update is towards more rugged premium mid-range devices by Vivo, something that the company has mostly seen in flagships.
Three 50-Megapixel Cameras for Versatile Photography
Vivo has stuck with its usual camera configuration of three 50-megapixel cameras. The Vivo V50 will come with: A 50MP Primary Camera-likely to be more sharp and color-rich.
- 50MP Ultrawide Camera – For wider shots with better details.
- 50MP Front Camera – To take high-resolution selfies and video calls.
The camera module remains the same as that of the Vivo V40. However, Vivo has updated its Aura Light feature, which seems to be bigger than before. This might help in low-light photography as it would allow for more controlled and balanced lighting.
Massive 6,000mAh Battery for Long Hours of Usage
The Vivo V50 will have a huge 6,000mAh battery, which is a significant improvement over the predecessor. This would translate to a longer usage time and make the phone ideal for heavy users, gamers, and content consumers.
Vivo has not released information on the charging speed, but leaks show that it might support fast-charging technology. Assuming the device comes with at least 44W fast charging, it will bring speedy power-ups despite a larger battery.
Funtouch OS 15 and AI Enhancements
The Vivo V50 will have Funtouch OS 15, which promises UI enhancements and AI-based capabilities. The Vivo X200 Pro already integrated some AI-powered camera capabilities, and it is expected to repeat it in this model. It will feature some of the AI-driven camera functionalities that were integrated by the Vivo X200 Pro. More details on AI-specific functionality are unknown, but users can expect better performance in terms of computational photography, portrait mode, and battery optimization.
Qualcomm Snapdragon 7 Gen 3 Chipset
Vivo did not officially confirm the processor for the V50. However, some previous leaks suggest the smartphone will feature the Qualcomm Snapdragon 7 Gen 3 SoC. This chipset, in effect, holds a great balance of performance and efficiency to deal with tasks that involve gaming, multitasking, or AI-driven computing.
The Snapdragon 7 Gen 3 will be dedicated to mid-to-high-end smartphones. It promises to provide better GPU performance, further AI capabilities, and enhanced power efficiency. If Vivo installs this processor, then the V50 will have smooth performance in all of its everyday tasks and heavy applications.
Color Variants
Vivo has offered three colors for the V50:
- Rose Red: Bold and striking.
- Starry Blue – a very subtle, elegant shade.
- Titanium Grey – classic and premium-looking finish.
This will give diversity to the options so that the user can select the style as per his/her preference.
Expected Launch Date and Market Availability
The expected release date in India for Vivo’s V50 would be February 18, 2025, a premium mid-range phone competitor with OnePlus and Samsung and then also Xiaomi.
With its enhanced design, durability, camera features, and a massive battery, the Vivo V50 could attract consumers looking for a high-end experience at a competitive price. More details, including pricing and official specifications, will be revealed at the launch event.
As the wait continues, it seems that Vivo V50 will be a very well-rounded smartphone with durability, power, and advanced photography capabilities. If Vivo prices it appropriately, the V50 will have a good shot at the mid-premium smartphone market.
