Back in January, vivo revealed Funtouch OS 11 (Android 11) update timeline for its smartphones in India. According to the schedule, vivo X50 and vivo V19 were supposed to start receiving the update at the end of that month itself. However, that did not happen as the latter device got the update last week and the former has begun to receive it only now.

According to a report by PiunikaWeb, the Android 11-based Funtouch OS 11 update for vivo X50 in India is currently under greyscale testing. In simpler words, it is only available for select users in the country. This initiative is similar to Xiaomi’s Stable Beta MIUI updates.

For those unaware, these types of builds are basically stable. However, they are only made available for select few users to test them out in public. If the early adopters don’t face any major issue like the recent Mi A3 Android 11 update fiasco, the build is soon released for more users.

Hence, vivo X50’s Funtouch OS 11 update is not available for all the users in India right now. But that should change soon in the coming days. The situation is the same for vivo V19, which got the update last week.

That said, as per the plan, vivo V17, vivo V17 Pro, vivo V15 Pro, and vivo S1 should be next in line to get the update starting by the end of March 2021.

Last month, Chinese handset maker vivo unveiled OriginOS as the latest version of its mobile operating system. A day after the announcement, the company also revealed the list of eligible devices and their update timeline. Now, the company has begun to recruit beta testers for 5 smartphones.

According to the update schedule shared by vivo, a total of 33 vivo and iQOO-branded smartphones will be updated to OriginOS in China. This roadmap only tells about when these devices will be getting beta builds and therefore, the actual stable rollout for all the eligible phones may complete later than the suggested Q2 2021 time period.

That said, out of 33, 11 devices are scheduled to enter the beta program before January 31, 2020. Hence, as promised, vivo has now opened registrations for the first five handsets and they are as follows.

• vivo X50
• vivo S7
• vivo NEX 3S
• iQOO
• iQOO Neo3

The beta recruitment for the above-mentioned phones will take place from December 1 to 10. However, though the company is providing 10 days time to register, only 200 seats are allocated for each smartphone. Lastly, the beta rollout will commence from December 15 (tentative date).

So that means the stable release for regular users may only happen in January 2021 at the earliest. And above all, this program is only limited to China and vivo is yet to officially announce OriginOS for global markets along with eligible devices and update plans.

Vivo recently launched its latest high-end series and it is soon going to be available in the international market. For the first time, the latest X series is composed of three smartphones, including a flagship. We are talking about Vivo X50, X50 Pro, and X50 Pro+. While the first twos are upper-midrange devices, the latter is a top-tier flagship with amazing features which also brings some kind of innovation to the shelves. In this comparison, you will learn the main differences between the new devices from the X50 series.

Vivo X50 vs Vivo X50 Pro vs Vivo X50 Pro+

Design

You should pay attention to this paragraph since there are important differences between the aesthetics of these three devices. Vivo X50 is the thinnest and lightest device of the trio, but it lacks a curved screen and the Pro variants come with a higher screen-to-body ratio. That is why X50 looks uglier than its siblings, despite being sleeker. Both X50 Pro and X50 Pro+ come with a curved screen and a very high screen-to-body ratio, but only the X50 Pro+ has a leather variant. If you love unique materials, then you should go for the X50 Pro+. But if you want a standard phone with a glass back and an aluminum frame, then X50 Pro is enough as it features almost the same design as the glass version of the X50 Pro+.

Display

Vivo X50, X50 Pro, and X50 Pro+ all feature an amazing display. They come with a higher refresh rate, a great image quality thanks to the HDR10+ resolution and the AMOLED technology, and a Full HD+ resolution. There is only one single difference which lets the X50 Pro+ become the winner of this comparison: it has a higher refresh rate. While X50 and X50 Pro stop at 90 Hz, the  X50 Pro+ offers a 120 Hz refresh rate. In each case, you get a 6.56-inch diagonal, but as mentioned above, the X50 lacks a curved display, unlike its more expensive siblings.

Hardware/Software

When it comes to the hardware department, Vivo X50 and X50 Pro can be considered as upper-midrange smartphones, while the X50 Pro+ is a true flagship. Instead of the Snapdragon 765G, the Plus variant has a powerful Snapdragon 865 chipset paired with up to 12 GB of RAM and up to 256 GB of internal storage. You get more power and better performance with intensive usage. Given that they belong to the same series of phones, these three handsets come with exactly the same software including Android 10 and the customized user interface Funtouch OS 10.

Camera

With the Vivo X50 Pro+, you get the best camera department with a better main sensor for the rear camera. Both X50 Pro and X50 Pro+ support gimbal OIS, a new stabilization technology that is actually better than classic OIS systems. X50 Pro and X50 Pro+ have the same secondary sensors and the same front camera, only the main sensor changes. They both support optical zoom up to 5x. X50 has the same front camera and the same main sensor as the X50 Pro, but it lacks gimbal OIS and the periscope lens with 5x optical zoom.

Battery

The longest-lasting phone on a single charge is the Vivo X50 Pro. Just like the X50 Pro+, it has a 4315 mAh battery capacity, but its display has a lower refresh rate, so the phone is actually more efficient than the X50 Pro+. X50 has a smaller 4200 mAh battery.

Price

Vivo X50 is priced $500 in its base variant, X50 Pro starts from $625, and X50 Pro+ begins at €630. Which one is worth going for? If you are a power user and you care about having the highest performance and the best camera quality, then you should definitely go for the X50 Pro+. But if you don’t, X50 Pro is enough for you. The X50 is an X50 Pro without a curved screen, an inferior camera, a slightly smaller battery, and slower fast charging technology. But for the rest, it is almost the same device.

Vivo X50 hitten the global market for the first time by making its debut in India. It is a great camera phone with upper-midrange specifications sold at a very interesting price. But is it really the best option in its price segment? We think there is no better way to understand it than comparing it with the other Android devices sold in the same price range. For this comparison, we chose two very popular flagship killers in the Indian market. The first is the OnePlus 8, a complete device you can actually find at affordable street prices. The second is the Realme X50 Pro 5G, one of the flagship killers with the most affordable listing price of the year.

Vivo X50 vs OnePlus 8 vs Realme X50 Pro

Design

Vivo X50 offers an astonishing design. Just like flagships, it has a glass back and an aluminum frame. It comes with a high screen-to-body ratio and it is the thinnest and most lightweight device of this trio. Despite it packs an above-4000 mAh battery, it is just 7.5 mm thin: that is like a miracle. OnePlus 8 has an even higher screen-to-body ratio than Vivo X50, but it is thicker and it weighs more. On the other hand, it has a very elegant curved screen. Which one should you go for? Let your tastes decide: they both have the same great build quality and elegant design. Realme X50 Pro 5G is the most compact, but it is less elegant than its rivals, imho.

Display

With all of these devices, you get a great AMOLED panel with the HDR10+ certification, a 90 Hz refresh rate, and a Full HD+. In each case, we are talking about a high-end panel. Not a flagship-class display, but high-end. The differences are very marginal, so we do not recommend making the choice by looking at the display. Instead, focus on the other components. Note that Realme X50 Pro 5G has a smaller display, so it provides a more compact design and it is easier to use with one hand and to keep in a pocket.

Hardware/Software

Thanks to the presence of a flagship-class Snapdragon 865 SoC, OnePlus 8 and Realme X50 Pro 5G offer more powerful hardware and higher performance. Vivo X50 is equipped with an upper-midrange chipset: the Snapdragon 765G. With the OnePlus 8 and the Realme X50 Pro 5G, you get more or less the same flagship-grade performance, but the Oxygen OS found on the OnePlus 8 is actually considered as a more advanced user interface than the Realme UI. On the other hand, Realme X50 Pro 5G already got the Android 11 beta, which tells us we should not worry so much about long-term software support.

Camera

The most advanced camera phone of this comparison is the Vivo X50. It sports a quad-camera setup including a 48 MP main sensor with OIS and a very bright focal aperture, as well as a telephoto sensor with optical zoom. If you need a more advanced selfie camera, then go for the Realme X50 Pro 5G as it is equipped with a dual ultrawide front camera including a 32 MP main sensor and an 8 MP secondary sensor. But Realme X50 Pro 5G is the most disappointing when it comes to the rear cameras: even OnePlus 8 is better, except when it comes to the zoom because it lacks a telephoto sensor.

Battery

OnePlus 8 packs a bigger battery and, thanks to the higher capacity and great software optimization, it can provide a longer battery life. You get 4300 mAh with the support of 30W Warp Charge technology. The Realme X50 Pro 5G has a shorter battery life but it wins the charging speed comparison since it offers the most advanced commercial fast charging technology, with a 65W power. You need just 35 minutes to fully charge it.

Price

Vivo X50 is priced Rs. 34,990 in India, OnePlus 8 starts from Rs. 41,999, and Realme X50 Pro 5G has an Rs. 39,999 starting price. Unless the cameras are your main priority or you need to save money, you have no reason to choose the Vivo X50. The OnePlus 8 and Realme X50 Pro 5G are superior handsets if we exclude the cameras. OnePlus 8 has a better main camera and battery than Realme X50 Pro 5G, while Realme X50 Pro has a more interesting front camera setup and a telephoto sensor.

This is the year of mid-rangers, and specifically 5G mid-rangers. After a lot of 5G handsets, even Vivo’s brand iQOO launched a very affordable 5G phone in the Chinese market: the iQOO Z1x 5G. It is definitely one of the cheapest phones with the support of fifth-generation networks in the whole market, but is its value for money high enough to be preferred to other recent 5G mid-rangers? In order to let you find out, we decided to compare its specifications with the Vivo X50 and the Oppo Reno4: the base variants of the latest 5G series released by Vivo and Oppo.

Vivo iQOO Z1x 5G vs Vivo X50 vs Oppo Reno4

Design

All of these handset offer a modern design, but the most wonderful is the Vivo X50 which comes with a glass back, an aluminum frame like flagships and even a very high screen-to-body ratio, the highest of this comparison. You get a display with a single punch-hole inside and even an in-display fingerprint reader so that the glass back is totally clean with the exception of the camera elements. Oppo Reno4 comes right after, it has a very clean and futuristic design too. But it has a dual punch-hole and a lower screen-to-body ratio than Vivo X50. It is even thinner and lighter, one of the thinnest 5G phones released, that is why Vivo X50 is my favorite choice.

Display

With the Vivo X50, you even get the best display. It is an AMOLED panel with a 90 Hz refresh rate and the HDR10+ certification, so it provides both a smooth viewing experience and a great image quality. iQOO Z1x 5G has HDR10 and an even higher refresh rate (120 Hz!), but unfortunately, it sports a disappointing TFT panel which is not even close to the Vivo X50 in terms of image quality. Oppo Reno4 has an AMOLED display, but with a standard refresh rate.

Hardware/Software

iQOO Z1x 5G, Oppo Reno4 and Vivo X50 are based on the Snapdragon 765G mobile platform, they sport up to 8 GB of RAM and up to 256 GB of UFS 2.1 internal storage. Exactly the same hardware department, so you would get more or less the same performance and the same 5G connectivity with SA/NSA standards and an integrated Snapdragon X52 modem. The software is what changes: iQOO UI, ColorOS, and Funtouch OS, respectively, all based on Android 10.

Camera

Vivo X50 is again the winner, even when it comes to the camera quality. Vivo X50 is the only one with OIS, it has an additional telephoto lens which is not present on its rivals, and it provides a way better photo quality. Oppo Reno4 only wins the selfie comparison thanks to a dual 32 + 2 MP front camera including a depth sensor. iQOO Z1x is the most disappointing one as a camera phone, simply do not choose it if you need great photos and videos.

Battery

Finally an aspect under which iQOO Z1x takes the crown: it has the longest battery life thanks to its bigger 5000 mAh battery. On the other hand, with the Oppo Reno4, you get the fastest charging technology with a 65W power. It can fully charge in just 36 minutes from 0 to 100 percent.

Price

iQOO Z1x is priced just €200/$226 in its base variant, Oppo Reno4 costs €370/$418, and Vivo X50 carries a €451/$510 price tag. There is no doubt about the fact that Vivo X50 is the most advanced phone of this comparison. But you can get the same performance and a longer battery life for less money with the iQOO Z1x. So if you do not care about cameras, design and image quality, iQOO Z1x is enough for you. Oppo Reno4 sits in the middle, it will let you save some money, but you have to face compromises when it comes to the camera department and the display, compared to the Vivo X50.

It will be available in both the models — 8GB + 128GB and 8GB + 256GB, costing 3,498 yuan (~$490) and 3,898 yuan (~$547) respectively.

The post Vivo X50 5G smartphone to go on sale in China on June 6th appeared first on Gizmochina.

Vivo today held a press conference in China where the Vivo X50 series was unveiled. The new X50 series is made up of the Vivo X50, X50 Pro andX50 Pro+, all 5G phones. What makes the trio stand out is that it is Vivo’s thinnest 5G phone.

The Vivo X50 and X50 Pro both come with a 6.56-inch AMOLED screen with a resolution of 2376 x 1080p. The screen has support for 90Hz refresh rate and equally has an under-screen fingerprint sensor embedded underneath. The X50 weighs only 173 grams and has a thickness of 7.49mm. On the other hand, the X50 Pro weighs 181.5 grams and is 8.04mm thick. Notably, most 5G phones weigh around 200g.

Although the two phones have similar screen sizes, the X50 Pro uses an aesthetic curved screen design and is also the first curved phone in the X series.

In terms of hardware, both the X50 and X50 Pro pack a Snapdragon 765G processor with 8GB LPDDR4X memory. While the X50 uses UFS 2.0 flash memory, X50 Pro is UFS 2.1 flash memory. Both models also have different battery capacities and fast charge. The X50 crams a 4200mAh battery, while the X50 Pro is powered by a 4315mAh battery, and both support 33W flash charging.

On the camera aspect, Vivo X50 and X50 Pro both packs a 32MP front-facing camera that supports night view, portrait, photo, video, panorama, dynamic photo, slow motion, short video, AR cute shoot and others. At the rear side, there is a quad-camera setup on both models but the X50 Pro setup includes a 48MP Sony IMX598 main camera + 13MO portrait + 8MP wide-angle + 5MP macro lens. The main camera supports four-axis OIS, closed-loop motor, and 20x digital zoom. There is also support for up to 60x digital zoom.

One spectacular feature of the X50 Pro camera is the presence of a gimbal camera system modelled after a full-sized professional gimbal. The gimbal moves the camera module in the direction opposite to that of the shake, increasing the stability of the main camera. The gimbal system widens the rotation angle and the anti-shake area. The camera UI is also tweaked to reflect the movement of the gimbal and show when the sensor is stable. Te X50 Pro+ misses out on this feature, perhaps due to the presence of a large sensor onboard already. It uses ordinary OIS.

In terms of sound quality, Vivo’s X series has always performed well in HiFi. The X50 supports three microphones and Hi-Res certification while the X50 Pro adds an AK4377A sound quality chip, which also supports Hi-Res certification.

As for the prices, the Vivo X50 (8GB + 128GB) is priced at 3498 yuan (~$490) while the 8GB+256GB variant is priced at 3898 yuan (~$547). On the other hand, the X50 Pro  (8GB + 128GB) is priced at 4298 yuan (~$603) and 4698 yuan (~$450) for the 8GB+256GB variant. The X50 went on sale today.

Vivo X50 Pro+: Specs & Price

Vivo also launched a flagship model dubbed Vivo X50 Pro Plus. The model is powered by Qualcomm’s latest Snapdragon 865 flagship SoC. In terms of the design, the X50 Pro+ uses an 0.5mm plain leather material which feels better and lighter in weight. Vivo’s logo is embossed on the leather.

The device features a 6.56-inch AMOLED screen with a resolution of 2376 x 1080p. The screen has support for 90Hz refresh rate and equally has an under-screen fingerprint sensor.

The X50 Pro+ uses a 50MP Samsung Isocell GN1 sensor with a 1 / 1.3 ” pixel size. The main camera is expected to perform well in complex scenes with low light and light and dark conditions.

In addition, the X50 Pro+ supports dual-mode SA/NSA 5G as well as LPDDR4X flash storage. The display supports up to 120Hz refresh rate and 240hz touch screen sampling rate, bringing delicate and smooth operations.

In terms of the sound output, the Vivo X50 Pro+ packs the HiFi CS43131 chip with high-performance independent DAC decoding, sampling rate up to 384kHz, 32-bit accuracy, dynamic range up to 130dB, total harmonic distortion + noise as low as -115dB.

The X50 Pro+ comes with a 4998 yuan (~$701) price tag for the 8GB+128GB variant. The 8GB+256GB variant is priced at 5498 yuan (~$771) and finally, the 12GB + 256GB variant will go up 5998 yuan (~$841). Vivo says the flagship will be released in July.

The Vivo X50 and X50 Pro are powered by Snapdragon 765G SoC and the Vivo X50 Pro+ is rumored to be driven by Snapdragon 865. A fresh leak has carried the specifications of all three smartphones.

The post Vivo X50 series coming to India, confirms Vivo CEO appeared first on Gizmochina.

Vivo is all set to unleash the Vivo X50 5G and Vivo X50 Pro 5G smartphones on June 1 in China. Yesterday, a Chinese tipster had leaked the specifications of the Vivo X50 smartphone. Another tipster has shared an image on Weibo through the specs of the X50 Pro have been revealed.

The leaked image shows that the Vivo X50 Pro has a punch-hole display with curved edges. The screen supports 1080 x 2376 pixels full HD+ resolution and 90Hz refresh rate. The punch-hole on the screen houses a 32-megapixel selfie snapper.

The backside of the device has four cameras. The first one is said to be Sony IMX598 lens, an 8-megapixel telephoto lens with 60X hybrid zoom, a 13-megapixel depth sensor, and an 8-megapixel superwide lens.

The Snapdragon 765G SoC that brings support for dual-mode SA and NSA 5G connectivity powers the Vivo X50 Pro. The phone draws power from a 4,315mAh battery that supports 33W fast charging. The handset will also support NFC connectivity.

The Vivo X50 Pro is expected to arrive in two models in China such as 8 GB RAM + 128 GB storage and 8 GB RAM + 256 GB storage. The tipster claims that the handset is priced at 3,398 Yuan, but its unclear whether the pricing belongs to the 128 GB or 256 GB edition of the smartphone.

The only gripe with this leak is that it is almost the same as the specs of the Vivo X50 that emerged yesterday. Probably, the Pro model will have advantages like a curved screen and a gimbal-like camera system over the X50 model that is likely to come with a flat display and lack a gimbal camera setup.

Vivo will be unveiling its X50 series coming Monday, i.e. June 1 in China. Ahead of it, the company has been teasing the handset, especially X50 Pro with its gimbal camera. Now, this duo has been listed on Jingdong (JD.com) and a possible X50 has been also spotted on Geekbench.

Vivo X50 (V2005A) Geekbench Listing

Interestingly, Vivo has not revealed any specifications of Vivo X50 / X50 Pro nor they have leaked. But according to MySmartPrice, a Geekbench listing of a device called V2005A could be of the standard X50.

As per that, the forthcoming Vivo X50 will be powered by a Qualcomm SoC with 1.8GHz base clock frequency. Since the handset is teased by the company as a 5G-ready device, the chipset underneath could be Snapdragon 765G. Because the identifier mentioned in the listing matches with other phones with the same chip.

Further, the variant that was benchmarked runs Android 10 and has 8GB RAM, however, there could be other models as well. As for scores, the alleged Vivo X50 bags 615 and 1909 points for single-core and multi-core respectively.

The Vivo X50 series is scheduled to be announced on the 1st of June 2020. In the launch event, the Vivo X50 and X50 Pro will be officially released. However, just prior to its launch date, the company has revealed the design of the smartphones through certain promotional poster images that were shared online.

Looking at these posters, we can observe that the Vivo X50 series will arrive with a punch hole selfie camera on the front. The display seems to cover the entirety of the front with negligible bezels on every side with curved edges. On the rear, the Vivo X50 and X50 Pro are differentiated by their different camera modules. While both feature a quad camera, the former houses it in a vertical manner while the latter has them placed uniquely due to different sizes.

The Vivo X50 Pro has one large sensor, which is likely to be the primary lens to take in more light. Below this large camera two other cameras can also be seen, which are followed by the fourth sensor below these two. This sensor is the periscopic telephoto lens that will allow users to take magnified shots. In the case of the base X50 variant, the vertically stacked cameras are of relatively similar size and are placed at the top left corner on the rear panel.

The poster images also reveal the color options of the X50 series, with the Pro version having at least a silver and light blue variant. The base Vivo X50, on the other hand, is only seen in a single color option, which appears to be purple. In terms of the overall design, the device seems thin and light. Unfortunately, finer details are still unknown regarding the handset. So stay tuned for more updates.

Vivo is launching its new Vivo X50 smartphone on 1st June in China and the company has already confirmed that the device will feature micro gimbal camera for the primary sensor that aims to offer improved optical stabilisation.

The technology is the same that was showcased with the Vivo Apex 2020 Concept Smartphone which was unveiled earlier this year. However, it will be making its debut commercially with the Vivo X50. Ahead of the launch, Vivo has now revealed the technical details of the micro gimbal camera.

The micro gimbal mechanism has a magnetic frame which is controlled by voice coils. There’s also a suspension bracket which is connected to the base with double ball bearings. The setting enables X-axis and Y-axis tilt angles of up to 3 degrees each, which the company says is three times that of traditional OIS.

To ease up any tension from twisting during stabilisation, the company has extended and folded the sensor’s ribbon into a dual-S shape. Thus, the module takes up extra space but the company says it managed to keep the thickness at 4.5mm.

Vivo has also shared a teaser video using the micro gimbal camera which showcases the awesome optical stabilisation of the sensor as well as an impressive low-light capabilities. Apart from videos, the output from still photos is also quite impressive.

The company has already confirmed that the Vivo X50 Pro features an ultra-large primary camera sensor with a focal length of 16-135mm and supports 5x optical zoom as well as 10x digital zoom. The company is also expected to be capable of 360-degree movements and offer anti-shake technology.

While Vivo has been revealing details about the upcoming smartphone’s camera module, the company has not yet confirmed the camera specifications for the quad-camera setup. But everything will be clear once the phone gets launched in China on 1st June, along with the pricing and availability details.

Vivo has planned an event in China on 1st June to launch its latest Vivo X50 smartphone. The company is expected to launch three smartphone in this lineup, including X50, X50 Lite, and X50 Pro.

Now, ahead of the launch, the Chinese company has been sharing teasers on its Weibo account showcasing the camera technology in the phone. In the newly shared teaser video, the company hints at movie mode and sound zoom features.

The advanced camera setup on the upcoming smartphone from Vivo comes with advanced video shooting mode which is like shooting a professional movie. There’s also support for Sound Zoom feature. We expect more details to surface online ahead of the official launch.

Recently, Vivo had confirmed that even though the phone packs an advanced camera module, the smartphone measures just 7.4mm in thickness and weighs just 170 grams. It has also been confirmed that the battery capacity has not been reduced and the device doesn’t use plastic for the middle frame.

Previously, the company had confirmed that the X50 Pro features an ultra-large primary camera sensor with a focal length of 16-135mm and supports 5x optical zoom as well as 10x digital zoom. The company is also expected to be capable of 360-degree movements and offer anti-shake technology.

Thanks to micro-gimbal technology, it has improved shutter level for longer exposure which results in capturing larger amount of incoming light, thus the output offers a better low-light capabilities for the camera.

A leaked image of the smartphone’s promotional material has revealed that the device will come with a punch-hole cutout in the top-left corner of the display for housing the front-facing camera sensor. A teaser shows that at the time of launch, the phone will be offered in at least two color options — Blue and Peach/Pink.

The Vivo X50 has an unusual camera setup. The upcoming phone features a pretty large sensor with gimbal-like stabilization that takes up a large portion of the rear camera housing. With this design, the phone should be easily recognizable. A new video ad that further highlights the design along with more details about the phone have been released.

The first second of the video advert shows how thin the phone is. The device is placed beside a slim photography book. In a separate Weibo post, Han Baxio, the product manager of Vivo, said the Vivo X50 measures 7.4mm in thickness and weighs just 170 grams. He adds that the battery capacity (which is unknown) was not reduced and the device doesn’t use plastic for the middle frame.

The battery capacity and the type of material used for the frame play a part in the overall weight of a device. If the Vivo X50 packs a battery capacity not less than 4500mAh and uses a metal frame, then its 7.4mm thickness and 170 grams weight surely deserves praise.

As shown in the video, the rear camera housing does protrude – the black part even sticks out a bit more than the rest of the housing. The LED flash system, which appears to have about four LEDs flanks the camera housing on the right. The Vivo X50 has quad rear cameras but the specifications are currently unknown.

The advert also shows the phone will be available in two colors at launch – blue and peach/pink. Renders of the phone in purple and green have also been posted on the web but Han Baxio said they are fake.

Vivo has announced that it will take the wraps off the X50 on June 1 in China. There currently is no info on a launch outside China.

Also, a reliable tipster from China has shared a render that seems to match with X50’s design shown in the retail box.

The screengrab from the reality show reveals the Vivo X50 moniker. It also reveals that the phone will possess professional imaging features like the predecessor Vivo X30 series. The Vivo X30 Pro came with a periscope zoom lens that supported 5x optical zoom and up to 60x digital zoom. Hence, there is a possibility that the Vivo X50 series may offer users with better digital zoom experience.

The second image is blurry, but it manages to reveal the design of the Vivo X50 phone. The retail box shows that the Vivo X50 carries support for 5G connectivity. The handset can be seen in the same light blue color as the predecessor X30 series. The back panel of the Vivo X50 has a rectangle-shaped camera module.

The image does not give a good view of the display. Its right side is not visible, but the left corner seems to have a punch-hole. Another image (shown above) of the Vivo X50’s promo also shows the presence of a round-shaped cutout at the top-left corner.

A reliable tipster from China shared a render of the smartphone without revealing its name. The design of the phone resembles the above-shown X50. Hence, it appears that the tipster has shared an image of the Vivo X50. The back panel has four cameras and the fourth unit seems to be a periscope zoom lens. Last year, Vivo had added a periscope lens on the X30 Pro model while the vanilla variant lacked it. It appears that this year, the vanilla X50 may also feature a periscope lens.

Recently, a couple of new Vivo phones such as Vivo V2005A, V2002A, and V2001A received approval from the 3C authority of China. The V2002A could be the upcoming Vivo Y70s smartphone powered the unannounced Exynos 880 5G chipset. The identities of the V2005A and V2001A are expected to come with 33W fast charging are not known yet. These could be Vivo X50 series smartphones.
