Vivo V40e is miles better than the old V30e because of the SoC upgrade and they even made it slimmer than before, not forget that it also has double the charging speeds. This phone has gone official in an overseas market, so we now have all its official specs and pricing details.
You can tell by design that it’s a curving AMOLED phone, and per the specs, this one is a 6.77” 1080p panel that can do 120Hz refresh rate, and even HDR10+ support for us OTT platform users. It can’t get better than this, at least for the price point.
They gave it a 50 MP Sony IMX882 sensor for the leading camera unit and the secondary one is your standard 8 MP ultrawide, all with a ring Flash they call an ‘Aura light.’ Some markets last time had a 32 MP selfie snapper, and some had 50 MP, but this time, we only see a 50MP unit on that front panel.
V30e had a Snapdragon 6 Gen 1, but it’s a class below V40e’s Dimensity 7300 and its Mali-G615 GPU, and that could make all the difference, for gamers especially. This SoC might be why the Vivo 5G latest smartphone can now promise 3-year OS updates from its out-of-the-box Android 14.
Even though the battery size hasn’t changed from last time, we can see that this phone has double the charging speeds at 80W, and they even upgraded the Bluetooth from 5.1 to 5.4. The 8/128GB variant of Vivo V40e has a price of around $334 (~PKR 93,000).
