Vivo is expanding its V50 series with the V50 Elite Edition, launching in India on May 15, 2025. Teased with Zeiss-co-engineered cameras and hints of superior audio, this premium variant joins the V50 and V50e, promising enhanced portrait photography and immersive sound.
Teaser video confirms launch date and partnership with Zeiss
Vivo’s V50 series, already featuring the V50 and V50e, is getting a high-end addition with the V50 Elite Edition, set to debut at 12 PM IST on May 15, per Vivo India’s X post. The teaser video showcases a circular camera island with “co-engineered with Zeiss” branding, signaling a focus on advanced imaging. The tagline “portraits that captivate” and “sound that surrounds” suggests upgrades over the standard V50’s camera and audio, launched in February 2025.
To recall, the V50 came with a 6.77-inch FHD+ quad-curved AMOLED display with 120Hz refresh rate and 4,500-nit peak brightness, powered by the Snapdragon 7 Gen 3 SoC. It’s paired with 8/12GB RAM, 128/256/512GB storage, a 50MP main camera with OIS, a 50MP ultrawide with macro capabilities, and a 50MP selfie camera, plus a 6,000mAh battery with 90W fast charging. The Elite Edition is expected to retain these specs but introduce a premium design, possibly with a new finish or “Elite Edition” engraving.
Priced from ₹34,999 for the V50, the Elite Edition is expected to hover around ₹40,000, targeting mid-premium buyers. With IP68/IP69 ratings and Funtouch OS 15 based on Android 15, it’s set to compete with the likes of the iQOO Neo 10 (India), especially appealing to users who prioritize design and camera quality over raw performance. As per the recent teasers, the Neo 10 (India) will be priced “under INR 35K,” and is the “segment’s first 144fps gaming smartphone.”
The V50 Elite Edition could also be considered as an alternative to the Realme GT 7, a premium mid-range device, set for launch globally on May 27.
Will the vivo V50 Elite Edition’s Zeiss optics and audio enhancements make it a standout, or is it just a stylish V50 refresh? The May 15 launch will reveal all.
