The latest camera phones are packing some impressive megapixel power, powerful enough to rival some of the digital cameras. Take for instance, the vivo V40 Pro, a camera-centric handset that comes with a Zeiss triple camera setup and the phone especially does well for portraits. There’s a massive 5500mAh battery squeezed into a slim body (just 7.6mm thick frame), it also charges very quickly, with 80W wired charging support. Powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 9200+, it offers strong performance but comes with a hefty price tag around 50k. Let’s explore the details.
Design & display: The V40 Pro sports a slim design and an elegant 3D borderless curved display, enhancing the in-hand feel for the users. There are two colours to choose from—Ganges Blue and Titanium Grey. Our trial unit was the former, a 8GB + 256GB variant that is priced at `49,999. It comes with IP68 dust and water resistance. There’s also drop resistance with a comprehensive cushioning structure, boosting safety for internal and external components. It includes high-performance Schott Xensation cover glass and a metal bezel around the back camera bump, customised aluminum alloy in the four corners.
The V40 Pro has a 6.78-inches 1.5K ultra-clear AMOLED display that certainly shows off your photos and videos very well. The display is very easy to see, even on the brightest of days. Browsing the internet or streaming some of the latest blockbusters from Netflix , you’re in for some good quality visual entertainment.
Performance: The V40 Pro is powered by the Mediatek Dimensity 9200+ processor. It runs on Funtouch OS 14 (based on Android 14). There is smooth running in every activity that you undertake—from gaming to snapping photos. Playing some of the popular, graphics-intensive games is a breeze on this handset. The system response is great, multitasking is swift and there is smooth operation throughout. The 5000mAh battery is powerful enough to last two full days of use.
Cameras: Herein, we are looking at a quad 50MP camera setup, front and back, that delivers high quality inputs in terms of both photos and videos. The Zeiss partnership enhances the camera experience with multifocal portrait photography and various portrait styles, allowing users to capture great images.
There are a slew of interesting AI features. The AI Portrait Suite includes several smart AI tools to enhance your portraits like AI Eraser, AI Photo Enhancer, and AI Group Portrait. There is also an AI Superlink that will help with performance optimisation and smart network management.
Key takeaways: The V40 Pro is expensive, but there’s a lot of camera power in it. If you’re into serious photography, then this phone will find an easy recommendation, especially for portrait photographers.
