Vivo V50 review: Zeiss camera phone without the flagship price

The Vivo V50 has a 6.77-inch screen with curved glass on all sides, a design element reserved for flagships.

It has a polished plastic frame, though the front and rear sport glass to add a degree of premium to the feel and finish.

There’s also a huge 6000mAh battery and up to 512 GB storage.

The best thing about the V50 is that there are no duds, which is in contrast to some alternatives like the Nothing Phone ( 3a ).

The Vivo V50 is powered by a good, midrange chipset, the Qualcomm Snapdragon 7 Gen 3.

It is future-proofed with three years of major OS updates, taking it to Android 18 and four years of security updates.

The phone also checks almost all our connectivity/biometric boxes with 5 G, NFC , an in-display fingerprint scanner, and face unlock.

With an ultra-high-capacity 6000 mAh battery, a significant 1000 mAh more than most competing phones.

The phone's design, display, battery life and performance are also all good to excellent, making the phone one of the smartest options around if it's available where you live. Vivo has a tendency to stagger the global availability, but provided you're able to pick up the V50 for the equivalent of $ 400 -550, depending on memory capacity, it's be a great shout and one of the best midrange camera phones of 2025 ..
