Vivo V50e Launches with Sony Multifocus Pro Portrait Camera, Android 15

Key Takeaways

1. The Vivo V50e features a 5,600mAh battery, smaller than the iQoo Z10x’s 6,500mAh battery, enabling a sleeker design.
2. The V50e offers enhanced camera capabilities with AI Aura Light Portrait 2.0 and a secondary ultrawide-angle camera, unlike the Z10x.
3. The display of the V50e is superior with a 120Hz FHD+ AMOLED screen, HDR10+ support, and peak brightness of 1,800 nits.
4. The V50e is more durable with Schott Diamond Shield Glass and an IP68/IP69 rating, while the Z10x has a lower durability rating.
5. The V50e runs on Funtouch OS based on Android 15 with three major updates, while the Z10x will receive only two updates.

The iQoo Z10x may not be too pleased with Vivo for launching yet another Android smartphone that features the same Dimensity 7300 processor. However, it does come with a 5,600mAh battery, which is smaller compared to the 6,500mAh battery found in its iQoo sibling.

Design and Aesthetics

This smaller battery enables the V50e to present a sleeker, Luxury Design chassis available in striking Sapphire Blue with an aurora effect or elegant Pearl White.

Both of these smartphones sport a round ring-flash as part of their camera designs, but the Vivo device’s AI Aura Light Portrait 2.0 is claimed to be more adaptable, offering various Wedding-Style Portrait Effects like Prosecco, Neo Retro, or Pastel filters, which are exclusive to the Indian market.

Camera Features

The Sony IMX882 is also said to enhance wedding photography with an impressive Night Mode. Additionally, the V50e includes a secondary rear camera with an ultrawide-angle feature, unlike the Z10x, which lacks this.

On paper, the V50e also boasts a superior 120Hz FHD+ display, measuring slightly larger at 6.77 inches. It supports HDR10+, can reach peak brightness of 1,800 nits, and is, importantly, AMOLED instead of LCD.

Durability and Software

The display is safeguarded by Schott Diamond Shield Glass, which adds to its modern IP68/IP69-rated durability.

The V50e operates on Funtouch OS based on Android 15 and is expected to receive up to three major updates, whereas the Z10x will only get two.

However, the internal storage of the iQoo device is UFS 3.1, while the Vivo competitor falls behind with UFS 2.2.

The Vivo V50e can be ordered on Amazon from INR 28,999 (~$337), whereas the Z10x is set to launch on April 22, 2025.
