Vivo V50 review: The pressure to stay relevant online has made us all more conscious of the gadgets we use. From the attire we wear to the places we visit, everything gets shared. At the heart of it all is one device — the smartphone. It's not just for communication anymore; it's our tool for capturing moments and sharing them with the world. The rise of smartphone photography has shifted the focus towards camera performance, and every new release promises to be better than the last.

Vivo’s latest contender, the Vivo V50, aims to deliver just that. A successor to the Vivo V40, this model brings several meaningful upgrades, particularly in the camera department. With a Snapdragon 7 Gen 3 processor, enhanced camera features, and a larger battery, the Vivo V50 seems to have a lot going for it. I've been using it as a secondary device for over three weeks now, and while it does a solid job, a few surprises came along the way. Let’s dive into our detailed review to see if it’s worth your investment.

Vivo V50 brings a refreshing take on smartphone design with its sleek, rounded build that feels sophisticated in the hand. The device is available in three colour options: Titanium Grey, Starry Night, and Rose Red. I had the chance to test out the Starry Night version. What caught my eye was the 3D holographic star effect, which creates an interesting visual when light hits the surface, giving the phone a unique look. The glass back has a smooth, curved finish, making it comfortable to hold even with its large 6000 mAh battery tucked inside.
