  • Vivo V40 Launched: 80W Charging, No Charger Included

    Vivo V40 Launched: 80W Charging, No Charger Included

    Vivo’s latest release offers an impressive 80W charging capability, but there’s a downside – the charging adapter must be purchased separately. Following Apple’s lead in removing chargers from their phone packages, Samsung also adopted this approach, initially with their flagship models and later with the more affordable Galaxy A series.

    Initially, Chinese manufacturers were reluctant to follow Apple in removing chargers, particularly because they excel in fast-charging technologies that often require proprietary chargers. The vivo V40 5G supports rapid 80W charging, yet it surprisingly doesn’t include a charging adapter in the package.

    Variants and Specifications

    The vivo V40 5G mirrors the vivo S19 available in China in terms of specifications. While both phones support 80W charging, only the Chinese version includes the charger. Furthermore, the base model of the global version (8GB+256GB) does not come with a case, whereas the 12GB+512GB model does. The global variant also has a battery capacity that is 500 mAh lower than its Chinese counterpart.

    European Launch

    The vivo V40 5G is set to launch in Europe with 80W charging support but without the charger in the box. It is powered by the Snapdragon 7 Gen 3 chipset, paired with LPDDR4X RAM and UFS 2.2 storage. Two configurations are available: 8GB+256GB and 12GB+512GB.

    Stellar Silver
    Nebula Purple

    The phone features a 6.78-inch 120 Hz AMOLED display with a 1.5K resolution (2800 x 1260). Available in Stellar Silver and Nebula Purple, the device includes a dual-camera setup with a 50MP f/1.9 main camera and a 50MP f/2.0 ultra-wide-angle camera.

    The device supports e-SIM and has a USB 2.0 standard charging port. According to TheTechOutlook, the base variant will be priced at €599. The vivo V40 5G will be available in Europe starting July. For more information, visit vivo Europe’s official website.

    Snapdragon 7 Gen 3 vs Snapdragon 7+ Gen 2: Choose the Right Processor

    Qualcomm offers a range of impressive products, although navigating their naming conventions can sometimes be perplexing. To provide clarity, we will delve into a comparison of two renowned Qualcomm processors: the Snapdragon 7 Gen 3 and the Snapdragon 7 Plus Gen 2, shedding light on their disparities and specifications.

    Snapdragon 7 Gen 3 vs Snapdragon 7 Plus Gen 2: Distinctions and Specifications

    In scrutinizing the Snapdragon 7 Gen 3 and the Snapdragon 7+ Gen 2, it becomes apparent that both leverage an advanced 4nm fabrication process, likely resulting in enhanced power efficiency. Nonetheless, the 7 Plus Gen 2 claims an edge in CPU performance. Boasting a maximum clock speed of 2.91 GHz, it surpasses the 2.63 GHz maximum clock speed of the 7 Gen 3.

    Specifications:
