Vivo’s Latest Mid-Premium Phone Is Here
Vivo has officially launched its new Vivo V40 5G, combining elegant design, powerful performance, and ZEISS-grade photography in one stylish package. Priced from ₹34,900, the phone targets users who want a near-flagship experience without the hefty price tag.
With its 6.78-inch curved AMOLED display, Snapdragon 7 Gen 3 chipset, and 80W fast charging, the V40 5G easily ranks among the most polished mid-range smartphones of 2025.
Sleek Design and Premium Build
The Vivo V40 5G makes a strong first impression with its curved glass front and back, giving it a sleek and premium look. The ultra-slim bezels make the screen appear almost borderless, while the lightweight frame ensures a comfortable grip during long use.
What really sets it apart is its IP68 and IP69 rating, which means the device is water and dust resistant — a rare feature in this price range. The polished finish, smooth edges, and attention to detail make it one of the most stylish phones Vivo has ever produced.
Stunning 6.78-inch AMOLED Display
The 6.78-inch AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate delivers crisp visuals and ultra-smooth animations. Whether you’re gaming, scrolling through social media, or streaming content, the experience feels fluid and vibrant.
With high brightness levels and accurate color tones, the display performs beautifully in both indoor and outdoor lighting. The curved edge design enhances the premium aesthetic and offers a truly immersive viewing experience.
Powerful Snapdragon 7 Gen 3 Performance
Under the hood, the Vivo V40 5G is powered by the Snapdragon 7 Gen 3 (4nm) chipset — a solid performer known for its efficiency and gaming capabilities. The phone supports up to 24GB extended RAM and 512GB internal storage (depending on region), giving users more than enough room for heavy multitasking, games, and 4K videos.
Thanks to its efficient 4nm process, the phone maintains cool performance and long battery life even during intense use, ensuring lag-free multitasking and responsive gameplay.
ZEISS Cameras for True-to-Life Photography
Vivo continues its partnership with ZEISS Optics, and the result is impressive. The Vivo V40 5G features a dual rear camera setup:
- 50MP Main Sensor with OIS
- 50MP Ultra-Wide Lens
On the front, a 50MP autofocus selfie camera ensures detailed and flattering self-portraits.
ZEISS’s T coating technology* minimizes glare and reflections, while AI enhancements deliver accurate colors and better dynamic range. Whether it’s daylight photography or night mode shots, the camera produces sharp, vibrant, and balanced images.
The front camera also supports high-quality video calls and 4K recording, making it ideal for vloggers and content creators.
Battery Life and Fast Charging
The 5500mAh battery is one of the strongest points of the Vivo V40 5G. It easily lasts an entire day on moderate to heavy usage. The 80W fast charging technology can juice the phone up to 50% in just 25 minutes, reducing downtime and keeping you connected all day.
While there’s no wireless charging, the fast-charging speed more than makes up for it.
Software and Extra Features
Running on Funtouch OS based on Android 14, the Vivo V40 5G delivers a smooth and intuitive user experience. Vivo has trimmed down unnecessary bloatware, making the interface clean and responsive.
Key features include AI-powered photography, customizable themes, and enhanced security options. Vivo also promises regular Android and security updates, ensuring your device stays secure and up-to-date for years.
Price and Availability
The Vivo V40 5G starts at ₹34,900 for the 8GB RAM + 128GB storage variant. Higher variants with 512GB storage are available at a slightly higher price.
It’s now available across online and offline stores, with special launch offers and exchange discounts making it even more appealing.
Final Verdict
The Vivo V40 5G stands out as one of the best-balanced mid-range smartphones of 2025. It combines a premium curved design, ZEISS-tuned cameras, and Snapdragon 7 Gen 3 performance with flagship-level features like IP68/69 protection and ultra-fast 80W charging.
While it lacks wireless charging and long-term software updates could be improved, the overall package offers exceptional value for its price.
