Sleek Aesthetics, Robust Design
The Vivo V50 presents itself in the competitive mid-range segment at a price of ₹34,999 with updates that distinguish it from its predecessor. Does the pricing justify this product? This article analyzes both the positive aspects and the trade-offs of the Vivo V50 model.
Vivid Display
The large AMOLED display of 6.78 inches maintains its 120Hz refresh rate and FHD+ resolution and receives a slight drop in pixel density (387ppi vs. 453ppi). The actual display quality remains virtually unchanged since this modification helps both colors achieve their punchy appearance and blacks maintain deep intensity while hitting 4,500 nits for peak brightness under sunlight conditions. You can enjoy better grip with the micro-curved edges on the phone yet the continued 120Hz refresh rate on Always-On Display mode can annoy users who want to save battery life.
Performance of Vivo V50
The Snapdragon 7 Gen 3 processor which appears in V40 and V30 powers the V50 to provide regular performance that lacks standout features. Results from benchmark tests (Geekbench: 1,136 single-core, 3,080 multi-core; AnTuTu: ~690k) fall behind the performance levels of the iQOO Neo 9 Pro. The device maintains exceptional performance throughout continuous use as demonstrated by its 96% stability score in stress tests which ensures smooth multitasking and application management though app switching becomes slightly delayed after launching more than 40 background programs.
Gaming is a mixed bag. Genshin Impact demonstrates medium setting stutter yet Call of Duty delivers steady gameplay on medium. The device maintains a remarkable low heat level during long usage periods which earns praise from users.
Battery Life
The 6,000mAh battery delivers exceptional performance by reaching 18.5 hours in PCMark tests and providing 9-10 hours of actual usage (social media and streaming and gaming). The device supports 90W fast charging which enables users to attain 50% battery capacity within 18 minutes. This feature makes it suitable for users who need constant power.
Camera: Daylight Focused
The 50MP main sensor produces excellent results in bright environments by delivering sharp images with bold colors. The Portrait mode delivers accurate edge detection together with authentic skin tone representation. The camera struggles with poor lighting conditions because sensor noise appears while dynamic range struggles during evening hours. The Night mode feature saves colorful images yet it fails to deliver sharp details. Wedding-themed frames on the camera feel like gimmicks which both diminish image quality and appear unprofessional.
Verdict: Who Should Buy It?
Buyers receive three compelling features in the V50 that justify its premium pricing point. It’s perfect for:
Content creators will be satisfied with the V50's performance in daytime photography and portrait sessions.
Power Users: All-day battery and rapid charging.
The IP68/IP69 certifications give durability seekers a sense of security.
Users should consider the V40 model instead of the V50 if they do not need the 90W charging speed or larger capacity of the battery. Those who prioritize gaming performance or speed should consider getting the iQOO Neo 9 Pro or OnePlus 12R because they provide better specifications at equivalent price points.
The V50 delivers a perfected V-series experience which should appeal to potential buyers but does not provide enough value to existing V40 users.
