The Vivo V40 5G is a premium mid-range phone targeting people looking for camera performance, a bright screen, and battery life. It combines a thin, trendy build with good day-to-day performance and fast charging. If you want something with a stunning design that takes phenomenal pictures, this phone deserves consideration.
Design and build quality
Very slender at just 7.58mm thick, the V40 5G feels like a million bucks. Matte back to hide fingerprints, and an IP68 dust and water resistance rating to stand the rigors of ordinary use.
Display
It offers a 6.78-inch curved AMOLED display with a 1.5K resolution and a refresh rate of 120Hz for smooth scrolling and gaming. The display is bright enough to reach a peak of 4500 nits, making it easily readable under direct sunlight and perfect for videos and social media.
Performance
This phone runs Qualcomm Snapdragon 7 Gen 3 and handles multitasking and most games smoothly. It comes with FunTouch OS 14 based on Android 14 and is available in various RAM and storage options to suit different needs and budgets.
Camera
Camera is a visible strength: a 50MP main shooter with OIS and a 50MP ultra-wide sensor do a good job in most trying conditions. Vivo combines this with ZEISS-tuned processing to generate portraits that look natural, while a 50MP front camera makes for really detailed selfies even in low light.
Battery and Charging
A huge 5500mAh battery affords reliable use throughout the day under normal to heavy use. The phone supports 80W fast charging, which means you can quickly top up, although the device might warm up a bit under prolonged heavy loads.
Connectivities and Features
The V40 5G supports 5G, dual SIMs, USB-C, Bluetooth, and Wi-Fi, and has an in-display fingerprint sensor for quick unlocking. It includes a VC liquid cooling system for better heat management and AI SuperLink to optimize network stability in areas with weak signals.
Price in India
The base model (8GB + 128GB) starts at ₹34,999 in India, while the RAM and storage upgrade options cost correspondingly higher. The top model (12GB + 512GB) goes for about ₹41,999.
Conclusion
Vivo V40 5G is a smart phone focused on camera performance, high brightness, and long battery life. Very suitable for users who want brilliant photo results and a modern look; although it may pay to look elsewhere for die-hard gamers who wish for the fastest-driving chipset. Nevertheless, it is a good buy for anyone considering design and camera performance.
