Vivo is preparing to broaden its V series with the introduction of the new V40 smartphones. Recently, the base model, the Vivo V40, has been seen on the Global Certification Forum (GCF) website under the model number V2348.
The GCF listing does not provide any specific details about the phone's specifications, but it does hint at a forthcoming launch. This phone has also been spotted with the same model number in the IMEI database.
Additional Models in the V40 Series
Earlier this month, reports revealed that Vivo is also developing the Vivo V40 Pro and V40e alongside the base model. These devices carry the model numbers V2347 and V2403, respectively.
This means that there will be at least three new smartphones in the Vivo V40 series, in addition to the Vivo V40 SE, which was launched in March. The Vivo V40 Pro has also surfaced on the UK carrier EE's website, although no specifications are revealed other than the inclusion of NFC support.
Launch Timeline
According to a recent report by 91mobiles, the V40 series is expected to launch in markets like India between August and September 2024.
Vivo S19
There are also whispers of a potential V40 Lite variant, which has been listed on the Bluetooth SIG certification website.
The Vivo V40 series is anticipated to be a rebranded version of the Vivo S19 series for global markets. Vivo recently confirmed that the S19 series will debut on May 30 in China.
Typically, there is a two-month gap between the China-exclusive S-series launch and the global V-series release. Therefore, the speculated August launch for the Vivo V40 series seems plausible.
