Key Highlights:
The Vivo V50e is the latest addition to the V series — known for its style-forward designs and impressive camera chops. At first glance, the V50e looks like a rehash of the V40e, but under the hood, it delivers meaningful upgrades that go beyond just looks.
From a massive 5,600mAh battery to a 120Hz AMOLED display and IP69 water/dust resistance, the V50e aims to bring flagship-like polish to the mid-range space. So, does it deliver? Here’s a complete breakdown.
Design and Display: Sleek, Slim, and Sturdy
- Just 7.4mm thin and 186 grams despite housing a huge battery
- Unique two-tone pill-shaped camera module with elegant silver framing
- Available in Pearl White, featuring a smooth matte back with silver waves
- IP69 rating makes it more durable than most mid-range phones
The 6.77-inch AMOLED panel with FHD+ resolution and 120Hz refresh rate is easily one of the best in the segment. It hits 1,800 nits peak brightness, making it ideal for outdoor use. Bezels are minimal, edges are subtly curved, and accidental touches are rare. Whether you’re watching Netflix or gaming, the visual experience is premium.
Performance: Smooth Multitasking and Cool Gaming
Powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 7300 (4nm) chipset and Mali-G615 GPU, the Vivo V50e comes in 128GB and 256GB variants, both with 8GB RAM.
- Day-to-day usage is seamless – no stutters, fast app loading, and efficient multitasking
- Call of Duty Mobile runs smoothly at high graphics (60fps)
- Genshin Impact is playable at medium settings
- Thermal performance is excellent – phone remains cool even under load
Whether you’re browsing, gaming, or shooting videos, the V50e offers consistent, reliable performance for the average user.
Software: Clean UI, Useful AI, but Bloatware Woes
Running Funtouch OS 15 based on Android 15, the interface is clean, fast, and responsive. Vivo promises 3 years of OS updates and 4 years of security patches, which is generous for this price point.
Pros:
- Smooth UI, customizable
- Useful AI features like transcription, object eraser, Circle to Search
Cons:
- Pre-installed bloatware like Vivo Browser and App Store
- Spammy notifications from system apps
Still, the software experience feels polished, and minor annoyances can be managed with a bit of customization.
Battery Life and Charging: A Powerhouse That Lasts
The 5,600mAh battery is one of the best reasons to buy the Vivo V50e:
- Easily lasts a full day of heavy use — with plenty to spare
- 90W fast charging: 0 to 100% in ~50 minutes
- A 15-minute top-up gives hours of use
- Thermal management during charging is excellent
Power users and casual users alike will appreciate the freedom from power banks.
Camera Performance: Good Enough, With a Portrait Bonus
| Camera | Specs |
|---|---|
| Main Camera | 50MP, f/1.8 |
| Ultra-Wide | 8MP, f/2.2 |
| Front Camera | 50MP with autofocus |
| Flash | Aura Light 2.0 |
Highlights:
- Main camera takes natural-looking photos with good detail
- HDR handles dynamic range fairly well
- Aura Light 2.0 helps with low-light portraits
- Selfie camera is sharp and avoids over-smoothing
The ultra-wide is a step down in low light, but daylight performance is respectable. Video output is capped at 4K 30fps, and it’s good enough for social sharing.
Audio and Extras: Dual Speakers, Balanced Output
- Stereo speakers offer loud, clear audio
- Volume booster helps when needed
- Voice calls are crystal-clear
- SIM tray, USB-C port, and buttons are well placed
It’s not an audiophile device, but for its price, the audio quality is surprisingly good.

The Vivo V50e checks all the right boxes:
✅ Vibrant AMOLED screen
✅ All-day battery + 90W fast charging
✅ Capable cameras
✅ Reliable performance

Minor downsides? Bloatware and a so-so ultra-wide lens. But for under ₹30,000, the overall package offers outstanding value — especially if battery life and display are your top priorities.

Ideal for:
