Vivo V50: The Latest Tech Updates
Vivo has officially spilled the tea about their upcoming V-series flagship phone, the V50. This new phone will replace the V40, which came out in India back in August 2024, alongside its Pro sibling. After lots of rumors, Vivo has finally decided to share most of the juicy details about this premium smartphone on their own website. But they’re still keeping a few secrets, like the phone’s processor and charging speed.
Design and Display: A Fresh New Look
The V50 looks a lot like its predecessor, the V40, but with a slightly rounder design. The most noticeable change? The display! It’s swapped the dual-curved edge for a quad-curved panel, meaning the screen curves over all four edges, not just the sides. This gives the phone a very sleek and modern look. They have also improved the phone’s durability with an official IP68 and IP69 rating, making it dustproof and waterproof.
Camera: Triple 50-Megapixel Power
On the back, the familiar keyhole-shaped camera module is back, housing two cameras. But here’s the kicker: all three cameras, including the selfie camera, boast 50-megapixel sensors! That’s a 50-megapixel main camera, a 50-megapixel ultrawide camera, and a 50-megapixel front camera for stunning selfies. Vivo’s signature Aura Light feature is also present and appears even bigger than before.
Battery and Software: Power and Performance
The V50 packs a massive 6,000mAh battery, so you can expect long-lasting power. It will also run on Funtouch OS 15, bringing new software features and improvements. Some cool AI and camera features from Vivo’s flagship X200 Pro are also making their way to the V50. Though information on charging speed is scarce, some sources say it might have a fast charger to juice up that big battery quickly.
Other Details: What We Know So Far
While the exact processor hasn’t been officially confirmed, rumors suggest it could be a Qualcomm Snapdragon 7 Gen 3 SoC. The phone will come in three stylish colors: Rose Red, Starry Blue, and Titanium Grey. Some reports even hint at a February 18 launch date in India. This phone surely looks like it brings some great updates.
Pricing and Availability
As of now, Vivo is keeping mum about the price. However, given its premium features and the V-series’ usual positioning, we can expect a competitive price point. Once launched, the V50 will be available for purchase across all major offline and online retailers.
