Vivo’s Next Mid-Range Smartphone to Feature Zeiss-Powered Optics and Quad-Curved Display
New Delhi, February 2025 – Vivo is all set to launch the much-anticipated Vivo V50 in India, bringing flagship-level camera capabilities to the mid-range segment. The smartphone is expected to be the direct successor to the Vivo V40, with several key upgrades in terms of design, display, and battery life.
With reports hinting at a Snapdragon 7 Gen 3 chipset, a quad-curved display, and an upgraded camera system, let’s take a closer look at how the Vivo V50 could stand apart from its predecessor.
Performance and Hardware Upgrades
According to leaks and industry reports, the Vivo V50 will be powered by the Snapdragon 7 Gen 3 chipset, the same 4nm processor used in the Vivo V40. This ensures efficient performance and battery optimization for both devices.
However, tipster Yogesh Brar has revealed that the Vivo V50 will introduce a quad-curved display, inspired by the flagship Vivo X200 Pro, making it a significant upgrade over the Vivo V40’s 3D curved panel.
Another key difference is the design and color variants. The Vivo V50 is rumored to come in a new Rose Red color, inspired by traditional Indian weddings, catering to a more aesthetic-conscious audience.
Battery life also sees a major upgrade, with the Vivo V50 expected to house a 6,000mAh battery, compared to the Vivo V40’s 5,500mAh unit. While both devices are expected to support 80W wired fast charging, the larger battery on the Vivo V50 will likely offer better longevity on a single charge.
Both smartphones are expected to maintain their IP68 and IP69 ratings, ensuring dust and water resistance for added durability.
Display and Camera: Notable Differences
Vivo V50 vs Vivo V40 Display Comparison
- Vivo V50: 6.67-inch AMOLED quad-curved display, 120Hz refresh rate, 5,000 nits peak brightness
- Vivo V40: 6.78-inch AMOLED 3D curved display, 120Hz refresh rate, 4,500 nits peak brightness
The Vivo V50’s increased peak brightness of 5,000 nits will offer better outdoor visibility and HDR content experience, giving it a clear edge over its predecessor.
Camera Differences
- Vivo V50: 50MP main sensor with Optical Image Stabilization (OIS) + 8MP ultra-wide camera
- Vivo V40: 50MP main sensor + 50MP ultra-wide sensor
While both devices retain the 50MP primary sensor, the Vivo V50 makes a shift to an 8MP ultra-wide camera, which could impact ultra-wide photography quality compared to the Vivo V40’s 50MP ultra-wide lens.
For selfie lovers, the Vivo V50 will retain the 50MP front-facing camera, similar to the Vivo V40, ensuring high-resolution selfies and enhanced video calls.
