**New Delhi, [Date]** – Vivo has unveiled its latest mid-range offering, the Vivo V50, in India. The successor to the V40, the V50 boasts several key improvements while retaining the popular Zeiss optics. The phone is priced competitively, starting at ₹34,999.

Both the V50 and V40 share similarities, powered by the Snapdragon 7s Gen 3 chipset and offering up to 12GB of RAM. However, the V50 distinguishes itself with upgrades in several areas. It features a larger 6000mAh battery with 90W fast charging, compared to the V40’s 5500mAh battery and 80W charging. The display sees a significant change, moving from the V40’s dual-edge curved design to a quad-curved 6.77-inch AMOLED panel (V40: 6.78-inch). While both boast 4500 nits peak brightness, the V50’s slightly lower resolution (388 PPI vs 453 PPI) is negligible.

Design-wise, the phones are similar, but the V50 offers enhanced durability with IP68 and IP69 water and dust resistance ratings, surpassing the V40’s IP68 rating. New color options – Titanium Grey, Rose Red, and Starry Night – join the existing Titanium Grey from the V40 lineup.

Camera specifications are almost identical, with both featuring a 50MP main wide camera, a 50MP ultrawide camera, and a 50MP selfie camera, all with Zeiss optics and capable of 4K video recording.

The Vivo V50 runs on Funtouch OS 15 based on Android 15 and promises up to three years of major OS upgrades, a step up from the V40’s Android 14. Pricing for the V50 ranges from ₹34,999 for the base 8GB+128GB model to ₹40,999 for the top-end 12GB+512GB variant, slightly undercutting the V40’s top model pricing. Both phones include under-display optical fingerprint scanners. The Vivo V50 presents a compelling upgrade for consumers seeking enhanced battery life, durability, and the latest Android OS version within the mid-range segment.
