Hey, tech enthusiasts! The Vivo V50e arrived in India on April 9, 2025, bringing the V-series vibe to a more affordable price point—under ₹30,000 ($360). With a stunning quad-curved display, Sony-powered cameras, and IP68/IP69 durability, it’s a balanced mid-ranger for photography fans and style seekers. I’ve unboxed it, tested it, and compared it to its predecessor, the Vivo V40e, to see what’s new.

Unboxing the Vivo V50e: What’s Inside?

The Vivo V50e comes in a sleek box—open it, and you’ll hear that satisfying pop. Inside, you get:

• The phone (Sapphire Blue or White)
• A 90W charger
• A Type-A to Type-C cable
• A transparent TPU case
• Warranty card, quick guide, and stickers

First look? Stunning. The Sapphire Blue variant I tested has a luxury-inspired, glossy polycarbonate back—unique patterns on every unit. At 7.39mm thin and 185 grams, it’s featherlight for its 5,600mAh battery. The premium feel hits you instantly—Vivo’s V-series DNA shines through.

Design and Build: Premium Looks, Tough Build

The Vivo V50e screams style with its dual-ring camera module and glossy back—think glass, but it’s durable polycarbonate. The flat frame matches, keeping it sleek. I held it for hours—comfy, premium, no slip-ups. Available in Sapphire Blue (my pick) and White, it’s a looker in India’s offline stores.

The IP68/IP69 rating is a massive upgrade from the V40e’s IP65, fully water- and dust-resistant. I dunked it in water and shook off dust—no hiccups. For India’s monsoons and chaotic streets, this durability at ₹30,000 is a win.

Display: Quad-Curved AMOLED Bliss

The 6.77-inch Full HD+ AMOLED with a 120Hz refresh rate is a showstopper. Upgraded from the V40e’s curved display, this quad-curved panel feels ultra-premium—India’s slimmest with this tech, Vivo claims. I watched YouTube in HDR—vibrant colors, deep blacks, and a 92.6% screen-to-body ratio with razor-thin bezels.

At 800 nits local brightness, it’s dazzling indoors and decent outdoors (not flagship-bright, but usable). The Schott Xensation glass adds durability—zero scratches after a week. For movies, gaming, or scrolling, this display under ₹30,000 rivals the Vivo T4 5G’s 1.5K screen.

Performance: Dimensity 7300 Holds Steady

Powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 7300 (4nm), the V50e scores 6,90,000+ on AnTuTu—same as the V40e, but solid for the price. With 8GB LPDDR4X RAM (128GB or 256GB UFS 2.2 storage), it’s a multitasking champ. I ran 10 apps—Instagram, BGMI, YouTube—no lag.

Gaming? I hit 60 FPS in BGMI on HDR Ultra + Extreme—smooth, no frame drops. The 4D vibration and eSports mode add flair, while heat stays controlled (just warm after an hour). UFS 3.1 would’ve been nicer, but for ₹30,000, it’s a balanced performer against the Realme Narzo 80 Pro’s 90 FPS edge.

Camera: Sony Multifocal Portrait Power

The 50MP Sony IMX882 sensor with OIS anchors the dual-camera setup, paired with an 8MP ultrawide. It’s similar to the V40e’s kit, but Vivo adds a twist: Wedding Style Portrait Studio—an India-exclusive feature. I tested it—26mm, 39mm, and 52mm focal lengths deliver sharp, natural portraits with tweakable bokeh. Perfect for shaadi season flexing!

Daylight shots are crisp, vivid yet natural colors, with solid details. Night Mode shines in low light—minimal noise, thanks to OIS and the Aura Light 2.0. The 50MP autofocus selfie cam nails skin tones—slight beautification, but not overdone. Video? 4K 30 FPS front and back—smooth, colorful, ideal for micro-movies. Compared to the V40e, it’s a familiar but enhanced experience.

Battery and Charging: All-Day Juice

The 5,600mAh battery is a stamina star—up from the V40e’s 5,500mAh (assumed). I got 8-10 hours of screen-on time—gaming, calls, Netflix—hitting bed with 30% left. The 90W charger (in-box!) hits 50% in 18 minutes, full in 45. No wireless charging, but at ₹30,000, it outlasts the Vivo T4 5G’s 7,300mAh in efficiency.

Software: Funtouch OS 15 on Android 15

Running Funtouch OS 15 on Android 15, the V50e is snappy—animations are fast, multitasking is fluid. Vivo promises 3 OS updates and 4 years of security patches—support till 2029. Bloatware’s light—some apps are uninstallable. AI perks like Live Call Translation, Circle to Search, and AI Eraser 2.0 add value. It’s cleaner than HyperOS, tailored for India’s app-loving crowd.

Audio and Connectivity: Stereo Vibes, No Compromises

The stereo speakers deliver surround sound—loud, clear, perfect for Bollywood tracks or BGMI. I cranked Bhojpuri hits—no distortion. 5G, Wi-Fi 6, and Bluetooth 5.3 keep it connected—I tested Jio 5G in a busy market, no drops. No SD card slot (hybrid SIM only), but it’s a minor nitpick.

Vivo V50e vs. Vivo V40e vs. Rivals

The V50e ups durability and display flair over the V40e, while the Narzo 80 Pro wins on gaming power and price.
