Display
The Vivo V50 5G sports a 6.77-inch Full HD+ quad-curved AMOLED display with a 2392×1080 resolution, 120Hz refresh rate, and up to 4,500 nits peak brightness, delivering vivid colors and smooth visuals for gaming and streaming. With a 387ppi pixel density, HDR10+ support, and VM7 Light-Emitting Material, it ensures excellent outdoor visibility and eye comfort with 2,160Hz PWM dimming.
Protected by Schott Diamond Shield Glass, it’s 50% more drop-resistant than its predecessor, though some users note reflections from the curved edges compared to the flat display on the realme P3 5G.
Processor
Powered by the 4nm Qualcomm Snapdragon 7 Gen 3 chipset with an Adreno GPU, the V50 5G achieves an AnTuTu score of around 850,000, handling multitasking and casual gaming like BGMI efficiently. Available in 8GB/128GB, 8GB/256GB, and 12GB/512GB variants with LPDDR4X RAM and UFS 2.2 storage, it supports up to 12GB extended RAM. While it performs well for daily tasks, it lags slightly behind the Vivo T4 Ultra’s Dimensity 9300+ in high-end gaming. The cooling system ensures thermal stability, but some users report minor heating during prolonged use.

Camera
The Vivo V50 5G features a dual rear camera setup with a 50MP primary sensor (f/1.8, OIS) and a 50MP ultra-wide sensor (f/2.0), both enhanced by ZEISS optics for professional-grade portraits. A 50MP front camera supports group selfies with clarity. AI features like Wedding Portrait Studio, AI Studio Light Portrait 2.0, AI Erase 2.0, and Circle to Search deliver enhanced photography, though low-light ultra-wide performance trails the Vivo T4 Ultra’s 10x telephoto macro. The Aura Light improves portrait lighting, making it ideal for Indian wedding photography.
Battery
Equipped with a 6,000mAh BlueVolt battery, the Vivo V50 5G offers up to two days of mixed usage or 1.5 days for heavy users, outlasting the Vivo Y400 Pro 5G’s 5,500mAh battery but trailing the iQOO Z10 5G’s 7,300mAh. With 90W FlashCharge, it reaches 100% in about 48 minutes, though it lacks wireless charging. The battery retains over 80% capacity after four years, ensuring longevity for daily use, gaming, and streaming.

Design and Durability
Weighing 189g (Titanium Grey) or 199g (Rose Red, Starry Night) and measuring 163.29×76.72×7.39mm (Titanium Grey, slimmest in its battery class), the V50 5G features a 3D star technology back panel in Rose Red, Starry Night, and Titanium Grey. Its IP68 and IP69 ratings ensure resistance to dust, water submersion, and high-pressure jets, surpassing the Vivo Y400 Pro’s IP65 rating. Dual stereo speakers deliver clear audio, but bass depth is moderate compared to the Moto G96 5G.
Funtouch OS 15 with Android 15
Running Funtouch OS 15 on Android 15, the V50 5G offers a smooth interface with AI tools like AI Transcript, AI Live Call Translation, and Circle to Search for seamless productivity. Vivo promises three years of OS updates and four years of security patches, matching the iQOO Neo 10 but trailing the OnePlus 13s’s six-year support. Some users note bloatware, which can be managed, unlike the cleaner Hello UI on the Moto G96 5G. Connectivity includes 5G, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 5.4, GPS with NavIC, and USB-C, but no microSD slot or headphone jack.
Pricing and Availability
The Vivo V50 5G is priced at ₹34,999 (8GB/128GB), ₹36,999 (8GB/256GB), and ₹40,999 (12GB/512GB), with a ₹2,000 discount on HDFC, ICICI, and SBI credit card transactions, bringing the effective starting price to ₹32,999. Pre-bookings began on February 16, 2025, with sales starting February 25 via Flipkart, Amazon, Vivo’s e-store, and retail outlets. Offers include a one-year extended warranty, V-Shield screen protection, and up to six months of no-cost EMI. It’s competitively priced against the iQOO Neo 10 (₹31,999) and realme P3 5G (₹14,999).
Why the Vivo V50 5G Stands Out
The Vivo V50 5G excels with its ZEISS-powered cameras, vibrant quad-curved AMOLED display, and robust 6,000mAh battery, making it ideal for photography enthusiasts and heavy users. Its IP68/IP69 ratings and slim design add durability and style, though the lack of a telephoto lens and minor software bloat are drawbacks compared to the Vivo T4 Ultra’s advanced camera system or Moto G96 5G’s cleaner UI. For those seeking a premium mid-range smartphone under ₹40,000, the Vivo V50 5G delivers exceptional value in India’s 2025 market.
