While Vivo isn’t as popular as other Chinese smartphone makers like Xiaomi in the European market, it is still slowly expanding its foothold in the region. So if you’re looking to explore a new brand and are considering a Vivo smartphone, here’s a 2025 buying guide for the best options available across the continent. We are covered models that have been released within this year, so here are all the details.

Vivo Y29s 5G

Talking about the most affordable option first, we have the Vivo Y29s 5G. This is an entry level smartphone that brings capable specs and features at an affordable rate. It sports a tall 6.74-inch 90Hz LCD display with an HD+ resolution. The smartphone is equipped with the Dimensity 6300 SoC along with 8GB RAM and 256GB storage. There is even storage expansion, dual rear cameras, and Android 15 OS out of the box. So if you’re in the market for a budget phone, the Y29s with a large 5,500mAh battery, IP64 rating, and military-grade shock resistance is a perfect option.

Vivo V50

Moving a bit ahead, we have the Vivo V50 as a mid range model that brings improved specs and better camera system. You get a better quad curved AMOLED display with a smoother 120Hz refresh rate and higher FHD+ resolution. The chip is a more powerful Snapdragon 7 Gen 3 chip and a massive 6,000mAH battery pack with 90W wired fast charging. But what makes it worth considering is the 50MP + 50MP dual camera setup that come with Zeiss lenses. So you can expect a consistent photography experience with this model.

Vivo X200 FE

The Chinese tech giant recently unveiled the Vivo X200 FE, which dropped as the brand’s new compact flagship phone. Based on its pricing, it is positioned right below the premium X200 lineup. For around 849 euros, the Vivo X200 FE brings flagship level performance with the Dimensity 9300+ SoC and humongous 6,500mAh battery pack. All of this packed in a small form factor with a 6.31-inch LTPO AMOLED display. Another big highlight is the Zeiss branded cameras.

Vivo X200 Pro

If you’re looking for a true flagship experience, look no further than the Vivo X200 Pro. It was announced earlier this year with a hefty price tag, packing the newer Dimensity 9400, triple Zeiss cameras (including a 200MP periscope telephoto), and a big 6,000mAh battery. In other words, you’re getting one of the best smartphone photography experiences in the market, with no compromises on display and performance either.

The Vivo V50 is an excellent camera phone and an impressive all-around package, featuring a fast Snapdragon processor, a high-quality AMOLED screen, and a large battery that easily lasts a full day — all for around INR 35,000.  However, it’s far from being the only showstopper in this price range, as we’ve found six great alternatives that outshine the Vivo V50 in various ways.

1. Realme GT 7

This Realme smartphone is powered by a significantly faster MediaTek Dimensity 9400e chipset, delivering a noticeable performance boost in gaming and demanding apps. It also promises an additional Android upgrade, bringing the total to four.

The GT 7 also brings LTPO support for improved battery efficiency and much higher peak brightness for superior visibility outdoors. It features Gorilla Glass 7i for better protection. The device offers a telephoto lens, in addition to primary and ultrawide shooters, for enhanced camera capabilities. It also excels in battery capacity and charging speed compared to Vivo V50.

2. OnePlus 13R

The OnePlus 13R is a premium option featuring an aluminum frame and the powerful Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 processor, which is much faster than the Vivo V50’s 7 Gen 3 processor. It offers an LTPO 4.1 screen, Gorilla Glass 7i protection, and Ultra HDR image support.

It features an additional telephoto shooter that enables high-quality zoom shots, in addition to a primary camera and an ultrawide camera. The ultrawide camera has a lower resolution, though. Furthermore, the OnePlus 13R supports the latest Wi-Fi 7 technology for reliable connection even in crowded places.

OnePlus 13R specs:

• Display: 6.78” LTPO 4.1 AMOLED, 1264 x 2780 pixels resolution, 120Hz refresh rate, 4500nits brightness (peak), Ultra HDR image support

3. Oppo Reno 14

This is another excellent premium mid-range phone featuring an aluminum alloy frame, Gorilla Glass 7i protection, and an IP68 rating that ensures protection against dust and water. It has a slightly smaller screen size with a higher pixel density, resulting in sharper and crisper images. The device is powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 8350 chip, faster than Vivo V50’s Snapdragon 7 Gen 3.

The Reno 14 promises two additional Android upgrades than the Vivo V50. It also featured an additional camera unit (telephoto lens) on the rear side, enabling a range of shots. The battery capacities remain the same, but the charging speed is a little lower on the Oppo phone. The connectivity features are nearly identical, except for the NFC support on the Reno 14.

Oppo Reno 14 specs:

• Display: 6.59” AMOLED, 1256 x 2760 pixels resolutions, 120Hz refresh rate, Gorilla Glass 7i protection
• Processor: MediaTek Dimensity 8350 (4nm)

4. Samsung Galaxy S24 FE

It’s another solid package on the list, featuring an aluminum frame, IP68 rating, and Gorilla Glass Victus+ protection on both sides. The Exynos 2400e chipset powers the handset, which is nearly twice as fast as the Snapdragon 7 Gen 3 on the Vivo V50.

The Galaxy S24 FE features a marginally smaller screen size with nearly the same pixel density but a significantly lower peak brightness. However, it leaves the Vivo V50 in the dust by offering seven years of Android upgrades. The device allows up to 8K video recording via its triple rear cameras, which also includes a telephoto unit. The battery capacity, however, is a bit disappointing, as is the charging speed (4700mAh, 25W). However, it supports wireless charging.

Galaxy S24 FE specs:

• Display: 6.7” Dynamic AMOLED, 1080 x 2340 pixels resolution, 1900nits brightness (peak), Gorilla Glass Victus+ protection
• Processor: Samsung Exynos 2400e (4nm)

5. Vivo T4 Ultra

The Vivo T4 Ultra puts a tough show against the Vivo V50 while being similarly priced. It comes with the Dimensity 9300+ chipset, which is significantly faster than the Snapdragon 7 Gen 3 in the V50.

The T4 Ultra also features superior overall cameras, rocking a 50MP primary shooter, an 8MP ultrawide camera, and a 50MP periscope telephoto camera. The V50 lacks a telephoto camera. The T4 Ultra, however, features lower-resolution selfie and ultrawide cameras, but overall, it has a solid camera setup.

The battery is a bit smaller than the V50, but the charging speed remains fast.

Vivo T4 Ultra specs:

• Display: 6.67” AMOLED, 1260 x 2800 pixels resolution, 120Hz refresh rate, 5000nits brightness (peak)
• Processor: MediaTek Dimensity 9300+ (4nm)

6. Nothing Phone (3a) Pro

Nothing Phone (3a) Pro another excellent mid-range phone with a non-traditional rear design and a clean software experience. The device features a slightly better Snapdragon 7s Gen 3 chipset, the same-sized AMOLED panel, and Android 15 OS with three years of Android updates.

The rear setup includes a telephoto lens, making it more versatile than the V50. The battery capacity and charging speed are not the best but fairly good at 5,000mAh and 50W.

Nothing Phone (3a) Pro specs:

• Display: 6.77” AMOLED, 1080 x 2392 pixels resolution, 120Hz refresh rate, 133nits brightness (peak), Panda Glass protection

Would you still go for the Vivo V50 or pick any of the six alternatives? Share your thoughts in the comments below.

The post 6 phones you can buy instead of Vivo V50 appeared first on Gizmochina.

Smartphones in 2025 are no longer just about speed, battery life, or camera prowess; they’re about feel. And weight is quietly becoming a spec that matters again. As phone screens grow larger and batteries swell past the 5000mAh mark, some manufacturers are pushing back against the gravity of modern slabs with smarter design, lighter materials, and tighter engineering. The result: a new wave of devices that somehow manage to pack flagship power or serious utility into bodies that weigh less than ever.

Here are seven of the lightest smartphones launched in 2025, across flagship, midrange, foldable, and even budget segments, that prove you don’t need to feel the heft to get high-end function.

Samsung Galaxy S25 (162g)

Samsung kicked off the year strong with the Galaxy S25, a phone that returns to basics in the best possible way. At just 162 grams, it’s one of the lightest premium smartphones in recent memory, all without cutting the muscle. It runs on the 3nm Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset, co-engineered with Qualcomm, paired with a 4000mAh battery and a triple-camera system that includes a 50MP main sensor.

It’s rare for a flagship with a glass-and-metal build to drop below 170g, but Samsung managed to shave off weight from last year’s S24 (~167g) by refining materials and internal layouts. The 6.2-inch AMOLED screen, IP68 rating, and Gorilla Glass Victus 2 finish make it feel anything but stripped down. The Galaxy S25 is a reminder that premium doesn’t have to be heavy.

Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge (163g)

If the S25 is compact elegance, the S25 Edge is its futuristic twin, sleek, long, and impressively thin. At just 5.8mm thick and 163 grams, this 6.7-inch phone is lighter than many smaller devices. Samsung gave it the same Snapdragon 8 Elite processor and 12GB of RAM, but it sacrifices the telephoto lens and drops the battery slightly to 3900mAh to maintain that razor-thin profile.

It’s less about being the most powerful device on paper and more about showing what’s possible when you prioritize design. Samsung calls it the lightest “phablet-class” flagship of 2025, and it holds up in hand: light, sturdy, and surprisingly ergonomic for its size.

Xiaomi 15 (189–191g)

At first glance, Xiaomi’s latest flagship might seem like a typical premium phone. But at under 191 grams with a 5240mAh battery, the Xiaomi 15 is anything but average. It achieves the rare feat of combining longevity and lightness in a compact chassis. The 6.36-inch AMOLED display, 120Hz refresh rate, Snapdragon 8 Elite chip, and Leica-tuned triple 50MP camera system round out the package.

With 90W wired charging and a slim 8.1mm profile, Xiaomi shows how to maximize without overstuffing. In a market where most flagships with 5000mAh+ batteries weigh well over 210g, the Xiaomi 15 stands out as a clever exercise in balancing form and function.

Google Pixel 9a (186g)

Google’s Pixel 9a hits that sweet spot of size, weight, and simplicity. At 185.9g, it’s the lightest phone in Google’s 2025 lineup, even lighter than the flagship Pixel 9. You still get a 6.3-inch OLED screen, the latest Tensor G4 chip, and a generous 5100mAh battery.

The design is clean and practical, with a plastic-aluminum frame that keeps weight down without feeling cheap. It includes wireless charging, IP67 water resistance, and a dual-camera setup (48MP main + 13MP ultrawide). While it’s not featherlight by absolute standards, for a midrange 5G phone with real stamina, the Pixel 9a feels refreshingly light in the hand.

Vivo V50 (189g)

Vivo has quietly built a reputation for making well-balanced midrange phones, and the V50 continues that streak. With a 6.7-inch AMOLED screen and a 5000mAh battery, it should feel hefty, but it doesn’t. At 189 grams, the Satin Black edition of the V50 feels unexpectedly light, especially compared to similar phones that tip the scale past 200g.

It’s powered by a Snapdragon 7 Gen 3 chip with up to 12GB RAM, supports 90W fast charging, and includes dual 50MP cameras. Its 7.4mm thin body makes it easier to grip and pocket, while the polished design keeps it stylish. Vivo didn’t compromise on screen size or endurance, it simply engineered smarter.

Motorola Razr Ultra 2025 (199g)

Foldables are notorious for bulk, but Motorola’s 2025 Razr Ultra proves they don’t have to be. Despite a 7-inch inner screen, 4-inch outer display, and a huge 4700mAh battery, the Razr Ultra weighs just 199 grams. That’s practically unheard of in the foldable space.

The Snapdragon 8 Elite and 16GB of RAM make it a powerhouse, but it’s the titanium hinge and efficient component layout that really deserve credit. For comparison, Samsung’s Z Flip 6 (2024) comes in at around 188g with a far smaller battery. Motorola traded a few extra grams for all-day battery life, and it’s a fair deal.

Tecno Spark Slim (166g)

Tecno shocked the tech world at MWC 2025 with the Spark Slim, a concept phone that feels like it belongs in a sci-fi flick. Measuring just 5.75mm thick and weighing 166 grams, it’s the thinnest phone ever revealed, yet it houses a 5200mAh battery. Yes, really.

This phone is more proof-of-concept than daily driver, with modest specs and limited availability, but it makes a point: thin and light is possible, even in the budget segment. Whether or not the Spark Slim makes it to mass market, it sets a new benchmark.

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.

The post Vivo V50 Elite Edition confirmed for May 15 India launch with upgraded imaging and audio appeared first on Gizmochina.

Vivo has recently made headlines with the launch of the V50, and now a new listing in the Google Play Console has revealed the upcoming V50 Lite. This mid-range smartphone is set to join the V50 lineup as a more affordable option. The listing provides an official render of the device and some key specifications.

Google Play Console listing

The V50 Lite will come in two variants: a 4G-only model and a 5G version. The 4G variant, with the model number V2441, is powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 680 chipset, paired with 8GB of RAM. While the Snapdragon 680 is an older processor, it should still deliver decent performance for everyday tasks.

The device features a 1080×2392 resolution (FHD+) display and will run Android 15 out of the box. According to its FCC certification, the V50 Lite will pack a massive 6,500mAh battery (up from 6,000 mAH battery of the V50) with support for 90W fast wired charging, along with 256GB of storage.

Judging from the render, the V50 Lite appears to have ditched the rounded sides of the V50 for a completely flat design, which feels a bit disappointing to me personally.

To recall, the vivo V50 comes with a sweet looking pill-shaped camera island on the back with a circular assembly for the lenses and an “Aura Light” ring below that. Based on the render, the Lite version has two different cutouts for the lenses. Interestingly one of the cutouts appear to have an additional lens, which could be a macro or a depth camera. The V50 packs only two 50MP lenses on the back: main and ultrawide.

The Vivo V50 (powered by Snapdragon 7 Gen 3) is currently available on Flipkart for Rs 34,999, and the V50 Lite (powered by Snapdragon 680) is expected to be a lot cheaper. The official announcement expected in the coming weeks.

The post Vivo V50 pre-order deal brings 1-yr extended warranty, screen damage protection for Rs 999 appeared first on Gizmochina.

Several smartphones are expected to launch in February. However, we are only excited about some of them.

One of these devices is the most anticipated foldable of 2025. Another one is an annual Ultra phone from a popular Chinese brand.

The remaining models are mid-rangers. One of them is performance-focused, while the other is camera and design-oriented.

Let’s take a look at these products.

Upcoming Smartphones February 2025

Oppo Find N5

Oppo is gearing up to debut its 4th book-style foldable smartphone. The device is officially called Oppo Find N5 and it will succeed the Oppo Find N3 from late 2023.

As the new model is arriving more than a year after its predecessor, it will pack some serious upgrades. Thanks to official teasers and unofficial leaks, we know a lot about this product.

For starters, it will launch as the world’s thinnest foldable. It will be about as thin as the USB Type-C port when unfolded.

Despite its thinness, the phone is expected to house a large 5,700mAh battery. On top of that, it will support 80W wired and 50W wireless charging standards.

The Find N5 will come with not one but three IP ratings, namely IPX6, IPX8, and IPX9. Lastly, it is rumored to feature a 7-core variant of Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite chip.

Xiaomi 15 Ultra

The Xiaomi 15 Ultra will be the company’s 6th Ultra smartphone. It will be more of a yearly upgrade model.

The device will retain the giant circular module from its forerunners, however, the sensors will be arranged differently. The quad-camera setup will include a 50MP Sony LYT-900 primary sensor, a 50MP Samsung JN5 ultrawide unit, a 50MP Sony IMX858 3x telephoto snapper, and a 200 Samsung HP9 4.3x periscope telephoto shooter.

It will be powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite SoC. Under the hood, it is expected to pack a 6,000mAh battery and support 90W wired as well as 50W wireless charging standards.

iQOO Neo 10R

The iQOO Neo 10R will be the latest mid-range powerhouse from the brand for India. It will house a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 chipset and is expected to start at around ₹30,000 in the country.

The handset is tipped to draw energy from a 6,400mAh battery. It is said to come with a 50MP Sony LYT-600 primary camera and an 8MP ultrawide unit.

Other anticipated features include a 1.5K 144Hz OLED display, up to 12GB + 256GB memory configuration, and Funtouch OS 15 based on Android 15.

Vivo V50

The Vivo V50 is set to arrive alone this time around. The ‘Pro’ model is expected to be released sometime later.

The device is said to be a modified version of the Vivo S20. However, unlike the S20, the V50 will have Zeiss cameras.

The handset is anticipated to feature a Qualcomm Snapdragon 7 Gen 3 chip and a 6,000mAh battery. Despite a large-sized battery, the product may have a thickness of just 7.2mm.

The phone will sport three 50MP cameras: two on the rear (wide + ultrawide) and one on the front (with autofocus). Lasty, it will flaunt a 6.67-inch 1.5K 120Hz micro-curved OLED display.

The post Vivo V50 landing page revealing design, key specs goes live in India appeared first on Gizmochina.

Reports have revealed that the upcoming Vivo V50 smartphone has the V2427 model number. The said device has emerged in the database of the Geekbench benchmarking platform, revealing its chipset, RAM, and OS version. The listing confirms that it is the third V-series phone from the brand featuring the same chipset.

Vivo V50 Geekbench listing

The above screenshot showcases the Vulkan score of the Vivo V50 (V2427) phone, which is equipped with the Adreno 720 graphics. The CPU and GPU details available through the listing are enough to confirm that the V50 is equipped with the Snapdragon 7 Gen 3. The listing also reveals that the device features 8 GB of RAM and Android 15.

Vivo has previously used the same chip to power previous generation V-series phones, such as the Vivo V40 and Vivo V30, which were announced in 2024. For those who don’t know, the SD7G3 chip was announced in November 2023.

The V50’s Vulkan score of 4122 points on Geekbench 6 suggests decent mid-range GPU performance, indicating smooth gaming and graphics rendering but not flagship-level power. After all, the V-series does not need a very high-performance chip as it is a photograph-focused phone.

According to reports, the V50 will have a 50-megapixel main camera with OIS support and a 50-megapixel ultra-wide lens. The device is expected to feature an autofocus-enabled 50-megapixel camera on the front. Depending on the market, the device is expected to arrive in variants such as 8GB+128GB, 8GB+256GB, and 12GB+256GB. It is expected to arrive in shades, such as Rose Red, Blue, and Grey.

The V50 will have a 6.67-inch AMOLED panel with support for a 1.5K resolution and a 120Hz refresh rate. It will be an IP68-rated phone equipped with a 6,000mAh battery with 90W fast charging. The handset is likely to debut on Feb. 18 in India.

Vivo V50 launch date

While the above poster hints at Feb. 18 as the Vivo V50 launch date, there is no official confirmation yet. Likely, the brand will confirm the launch date and reveal some of its key features later this week.

Vivo V50 specifications, price (rumored)

As per reports, the Vivo V50 will be a modified version of the Vivo S20, which will debut by the end of 2024 in China. The V50 is expected to flaunt a 6.67-inch AMOLED micro-quad-curved screen offering a 1.5K resolution and a 120Hz refresh rate. It is expected to run on Android 15 and Funtouch OS 15. 

Under the hood, the Vivo V50 reportedly features Snapdragon 7 Gen 3 chipset, 8 GB / 12 GB of LPDDR5 RAM, up to 256 GB of UFS 2.2 storage, and a massive 6,000mAh battery with 80W fast charging support. It may feature a 50-megapixel selfie camera with autofocus support on the front. It is expected to feature a 50-megapixel primary camera with OIS support and a 50-megapixel ultra-wide lens on the back.

The post Vivo V50 poster hints at February 18 launch date appeared first on Gizmochina.

Vivo V50 is making its way to the Indian market soon. We just don’t know when yet, but the company has started teasing the smartphone via the country’s social media handles.

Vivo shared its first teaser for the V50 yesterday on X (formerly Twitter). As expected from the V-series, the phone’s main highlight will be its cameras, and the tagline “Capture Your Forever” suggests the same.

For now, that’s all the company has revealed—no specs, no launch date, just a teaser. But given the timing, we can expect more details to drop soon.

A poster leaked earlier this week also gave us a look at the smartphone’s back design. There is a pill-shaped raised island with a circular camera module that houses two image sensors. The Rose Red hue, reportedly inspired by Indian weddings, also looks really good in the renders.

Vivo V50 Specifications

While Vivo hasn’t confirmed any hardware details yet, the V50 is expected to be a rebranded version of the Vivo S20, which launched in China in December 2024. This wouldn’t be surprising—previous V-series models have largely been repackaged versions of China-exclusive S-series devices. And based on the leaked design, that seems to be the case once again.

If the specs remain unchanged, the Vivo V50 will likely feature a 6.67-inch AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate and 1.5K resolution. Under the hood, it’s powered by the Snapdragon 7 Gen 3, paired with up to 16GB of LPDDR5 RAM and 512GB of UFS 2.2 storage.

For cameras, the S20 comes with a 50-megapixel selfie camera with autofocus, along with a 50-megapixel primary sensor with OIS and an 8-megapixel ultra-wide lens. The device packs a 6,500mAh battery with 90W fast charging—which, if unchanged, could make the V50 one of the longest-lasting phones in its segment.

With the teasers rolling out and leaks piling up, an official launch announcement for the Vivo V50 should be right around the corner. Stay tuned.

The post Vivo V50 teaser drops for the Indian market appeared first on Gizmochina.

As per recent reports, Vivo will launch the V50 smartphone in India in February 2025, just five months after the V40’s release. Ahead of the launch, leaked information has revealed the pricing details of the Vivo V50. Tipster Abhishek Yadav suggests that the Vivo V50 will come with a starting price of Rs 37,999, though he expresses some uncertainty, stating it will likely remain under Rs 40,000. This represents a potential Rs 3,000 increase over the V40’s launch price of Rs 34,999.

The tipster also revealed specifications of the V50, which appears to be largely similar to the V40. The device is expected to be powered by the Snapdragon 7 Gen 3 processor. The dual rear camera setup, featuring two 50-megapixel sensors, is also rumored to be carried over. Similarly, the 50-megapixel front-facing camera for selfies is expected to remain unchanged. The overall design language is also predicted to be consistent with the V40 series.

However, the V50 is tipped to offer improvements in battery capacity and charging speed. A larger 6,000mAh battery is rumored, compared to the V40’s 5,500mAh unit. Charging speed is also expected to be upgraded to 90W, up from 80W. A surprising addition, according to leaks, could be IP68 and IP69 ratings for enhanced water and dust resistance. These ratings, typically found in flagship devices, would offer increased protection against submersion. While these specifications and price points have surfaced online, Vivo has yet to officially confirm any details. Consumers are advised to treat these leaks with caution until the official announcement.

The post Vivo V50 Rumored to Cost More Than Predecessor, Key Specs Surface appeared first on Gizmochina.

The Vivo V50 recently surfaced online in rumors and certification platforms. While there is no official word on this device, a fresh leak has offered us a first proper look at the Vivo V50 and even revealed some of its key specifications and design elements.

Vivo V50 Design Revealed

In the NCC certification from earlier this month, the Vivo V50 made its first appearance. The database offered us a glimpse at its rear design, confirming the Zeiss camera lens. However, known tipster Yogesh Brar has now shared an official-looking promotional image poster in a recent tweet. Looking at the image, there is a pill shaped raised island with a circular camera module that houses two image sensors. There is also an LED ring light and Zeiss branding for the camera lens.

Brar adds that the Vivo V50 will have a quad curved display like the brand’s flagship Vivo X200 Pro. The image poster showcases the smartphone in a Rose Red color option (reportedly inspired by Indian Weddings). However, one of the most notable design aspects is its slim body. The tipster claims that it might be the slimmest phone in the segment with a massive 6,000mAh battery pack. The V50 could be a modified version of the Vivo S20, so it may also launch with an impressive 7.2mm body.

Vivo V50 Specs

The Chinese brand’s upcoming smartphone might be powered by the Snapdragon 7 Gen 3 SoC. Vivo places a strong emphasis on photography with its mid range V lineup of smartphones and Yogesh believes that the V50 could offer a 50MP selfie shooter as well. The NCC certification already confirmed 12GB + 256GB and 12GB + 512 storage configuration and 90W wired fast charging.

The Vivo V50 series has recently been spotted getting reports and certifications, which hinted at its imminent release. But ahead of the official announcement, a new report has revealed the launch timeline for the Vivo V50. So let’s check it out.

Based on what we know so far, the vanilla Vivo V50 could drop in India on 18th February 2025.

Since the launch is right around the corner, we can expect the Vivo V50 to start getting teased by the company soon. To recall, the Vivo V40 and Vivo V40 Pro made its debut around the same time last year. However, the V50 Pro is likely arriving later on. The NCC certification from earlier this month revealed the battery, fast charging, RAM, and storage variants of the Vivo V50. This model will apparently launch in two storage configurations, namely 12GB + 256GB and 12GB + 512GB.

A massive 6,000mAh battery pack could power this device, with support for 90W wired fast charging. Rumors have suggested that the Vivo V50 might be a modified version of the Vivo S20 rather than a direct rebrand. The design of this model was also revealed in the certification, which confirms the return of the Zeiss collaboration for the rear cameras.

The post Vivo V50 India Launch Timeline Revealed appeared first on Gizmochina.

In August 2024, Vivo launched the Vivo V40 and V40 Pro in India. The brand has been following a biannual release pattern for its V-series, with a six-month gap between launches. Now, it appears that Vivo is preparing to introduce the V50 series. However, according to a recent leak, while the standard V50 is expected to arrive in India soon, the launch of the V50 Pro has reportedly been delayed.

Vivo V50 India launch timeframe

According to tipster Abhishek Yadav, the Vivo V50 will debut next month (February) in India. However, this time around, the company may not launch the Pro variant alongside the V50. Probably, the Pro variant may debut separately.

The leak further mentions that the Vivo V50 will feature the Snapdragon 7 Gen 3 chip. It will arrive in three configurations, such as 8GB+128GB, 8GB+256GB, and 12GB+256GB. It will be sold in shades like blue, rose, red, and grey. While the leak has no information about the other specs of the device, it is speculated to be a rebranded or tweaked version of the Vivo S20, which debuted in December 2024 in China.

The Vivo S20 specs sheet includes a 6.67-inch 120Hz AMOLED panel that offers a 1.5K resolution. The Snapdragon 7 Gen 3-powered phone comes with up to 16 GB of LPDDR5 RAM and 512 GB of UFS 2.2 storage in China.

The S20 has a 50-megapixel front-facing camera with autofocus support. It has a 50-megapixel primary camera with OIS support and an 8-megapixel ultra-wide lens. The device packs a 6,500mAh battery with 90W fast charging.

The post Vivo V50 India launch tipped for February, V50 Pro’s arrival reportedly delayed appeared first on Gizmochina.

The Vivo V50 has just been spotted in another certification platform. The brand’s upcoming premium mid-range phone made its way to Malaysia’s SIRIM, which could hint at its imminent release. So here’s everything that was revealed.

Vivo V50 Visits SIRIM: Launch Seems Imminent

The Chinese brand’s upcoming Vivo V50 was spotted on the SIRIM database carrying the V2427 model number. Before this, this upcoming device has already been sighted in various other certification, so its official announcement could be right around the corner. Apart from confirming its global launch and Malaysian availability, finer details regarding this device are still unclear. Although some of our older reports does confirm more details.

The Vivo V40 was certified in EEC (Europe), BIS (India), TDRA (UAE), and NBTC (Thailand). It even visited Taiwan’s NCC< which revealed its design and some of its key specs. The device appears to have a similar pill shaped camera module as its predecessor along with a Zeiss branding for the camera setup. In other words, it is a true successor to the Vivo V40 series and the Zeiss collaboration in the previous model wasn’t a one-off deal.

The Vivo V50 is rumored to be a rebranded version of the Vivo S20 but with a smaller battery and thinner design. The NCC certification confirmed two storage configurations as well, namely 12GB RAM + 256GB storage and 12GB RAM + 512GB storage. A massive 6,000mAh battery pack would power this device, which supports 90W wired fast charging. Other notable features include Android 15 OS based FuntouchOS 15, WiFi 6, Bluetooth, NFC, and GPS.

The post Vivo V50 with Zeiss cameras could be arriving soon: Bags SIRIM certification appeared first on Gizmochina.

Back in October, the Vivo V50 was spotted with the V2427 model number in the IMEI database. In the recen weeks, the device has bagged approval from various certification platforms, such as EEC (Europe), BIS (India), TDRA (UAE), and NBTC (Thailand). In the latest development, the V50 has received approval from Taiwan’s NCC regulatory body. The listing has revealed the images and key specifications of the device for the first time.

Vivo V50 design revealed

The images that have emerged through V50’s NCC certification have revealed that it will be available in white, blue, and grey options. The device measures 165 x 75mm, but there is no information about its thickness.

The oval-shaped camera module has two cameras followed by a ring LED flash. The design is reminiscent of the Vivo S20, which is exclusively available in the Chinese since December 2024.

Vivo V50 key specifications (rumored)

The Vivo V50’s NCC certification reveals that it will be available in two configurations: 12GB RAM + 256GB storage and 12GB RAM + 512GB storage. It is set to feature a 6,000mAh battery (5,890mAh rated capacity) with support for 90W fast charging.

This suggests that the V50 could be a modified version of the Vivo S20 rather than a direct rebrand, as the S20 comes with a larger 6,500mAh battery. The smaller battery size on the V50 hints at a slimmer profile compared to the S20, which has an impressively slim profile of 7.2mm.

The V50 will run on Android 15 and Funtouch OS 15. It will also offer usual connectivity features, such as Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth, NFC, and GPS. With a couple of certifications under the belt, it appears that the V50 may debut along with the V50 Pro (V2428 model number) in the ongoing quarter of this year.

The post Vivo V50’s RAM, storage variants, images, revealed well before launch appeared first on Gizmochina.

Vivo is working on the next line: the Vivo V50 series. The Chinese smartphone company is already testing two models, the Vivo V50 and Vivo V50e. This information was discovered not long after the Vivo V40e was introduced on September 25. By checking the IMEI database, Smartprix saw two different Vivo V50 models listed. It’s possible that Vivo is testing more models behind the scenes, but right now, the website can only confirm the existence of these two.

Vivo V50 Series Coming Soon

The Vivo V40 was very similar to the previous Vivo V30. Now, with the Vivo V50 spotted in testing, what should we expect from this new series? The Vivo V50 will probably have features similar to the Vivo V40, though there is no official word yet on the full specifications.

At the moment, Smartprix can confirm is that network tests are being conducted to make sure the phones work smoothly. This means Vivo is actively working on the devices to ensure they offer the best possible experience to their users.

The IMEI database lists the Vivo V50 under model number V2427 and the Vivo V50e under model number V2428. Looking back, the Vivo V40e got big improvements in its processor and fast charging compared to the Vivo V30e.

We don’t know the exact details for the Vivo V50e yet, but it could come with better camera sensors, faster charging, and a more powerful processor than the V40e.

Possible Release Dates

As of now, there is no official release date for the Vivo V50 series. However, if we look at the past launches, the outlet can make some guesses. The Vivo V30 was announced in February 2024, and the Vivo V40 was launched in June 2024. So, the Vivo V50 could be released around February 2025, likely in the first quarter.

For the Vivo V50e, previous models like the Vivo V30e were released in May 2024, and the Vivo V40e came out in September 2024. This pattern shows a gap of about four months between each “e” model. If that trend continues, they could expect the Vivo V50e to be launched around January 2025.

However, keep in mind that this is just speculation based on past releases, and the dates could change depending on Vivo’s plans. We will share more updates as soon as new information becomes available.
