The new vivo V40 series just made their global debut in India sporting bigger batteries, better cameras, new designs, and a more powerful processor for the V40 Pro.
We’ve already seen the V40 5G in June when it came out in Europe. That model is essentially the same as the one introduced in India today alongside the all-new vivo V40 Pro.
That said, the V40 has a Qualcomm Snapdragon 7 Gen 3 that’s been retained from its predecessor. It is the vivo V40 Pro that gotten a substantial upgrade. It now has a MediaTek Dimensity 9200+ processor, which is more powerful than the Dimensity 82000 of the V30 Pro.
For the cameras, both models have ZEISS optics. The Pro model enjoys a 50-megapixel Sony IMX920 main sensor with optical image stabilization, a 50-megapixel IMX816 with a 2x telephoto lens that can do 50x digital zoom, and a 50-megapixel ultra-wide with autofocus.
Meanwhile, the non-Pro model settles for an unknown 50-megapixel sensor for both the main and wide-angle shooters. There’s still OIS for the main camera but the telephoto is gone.
Both models have vivo’s signature Aura Light ring light in the back, which is 3x brighter and 50x softer, and a 50-megapixel selfie camera. AI Eraser is also here and vivo’s AI Facial Contouring Technology.
The duo shares the same 6.78-inch 2.8K AMOLED screens with a 2800 x 1260 pixel resolution and 120Hz adaptive refresh rate. Oh, and finally, they now have stereo speakers.
One of its biggest upgrades is the batteries, which now have 5,500mAh capacity and is the biggest in the series. They come with 80W FlashCharge adapters and can retain the battery’s 80% health after 1,600 charging cycles.
The vivo V40 Pro is available in India for a price of INR49,999 (~Php34,300) for the 8GB/256GB model and INR55,999 (~Php38,400) for the 12GB/512GB. Meanwhile, the vivo V40 comes in 8GB/128GB, 8GB/256GB, and 12GB/512GB variants for a price of INR34,999 (~Php24,000), INR36,999 (~Php25,400), and INR41,999 (~Php28,800), respectively.
