vivo is birthing a new breed of smartphones, which starts with the vivo V70 Elite.
Sitting in the sub-flagship category, the vivo V70 Elite is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 processor, with up to 12GB LPDDR5X RAM, and 512GB UFS 4.1 storage.

You also get an interesting camera system, backed by ZEISS technology. There’s the 50-megapixel Sony LYT-700V main sensor with optical image stabilization, a 50-megapixel telephoto lens, and an 8-megapixel ultra-wide.
There’s also a sharp 32-megapixel selfie camera on the 6.59-inch FHD+ AMOLED screen with a high 5,000-nit peak brightness and 120Hz refresh rate.

You also get a generous 6,500mAh battery with 90W wired charging. Plus, an extended software support with 4 OS updates and 6 years of security patches.
vivo’s latest device is also IP68/69 dust and water-resistant.

The vivo V70 Elite is now available in India. The 8GB/256GB retails for INR54,999 (~Php35,500), the 12GB/256GB for INR59,999 (~Php38,700), and the 12GB/512GB for INR65,999 (~Php42,600). No word yet if vivo will bring the device to the Philippines.
