* TOP MidrangerMidrange

EDITORIAL: Vivo’s V series delivers some of the best midrange phones. While always playing on the battery+screen+imaging formula the V60 brings the first periscope telephoto to a V series phone. It is excellent. The battery endurance remains class leading, a true 2-day performance. Along the 4 Zaiss tuned cameras (3 with AF) you also get a large, bright screen. The Funtouch OS is stable and mature, easy to use and like but the screen has grown in size while dropping to 1080p. Overall, V 60 is a joy to use and it’s main, periscope telephoto and selfie cameras are hard to beat.

PROs
good SnapDragon 7 Gen 4 with UFS 2.2 performance, outstanding endurance of the 6500mAh Si-C battery with sub-1hr 90W wired charging, bright >1300nits AMOLED HDR10+ screen with high frequency PWM, IP69 protection, Zeiss branded 50MP OIS main + 50MP OIS periscope telephoto (both with PDAF), great 50MP AF selfie, 4 years of OS updates
CONs
wider and harder to use one hand, only 388ppi screen, 8MP ultrawide with no AF, no SDmemory, no desktop replacement feature or even video out, slow USB-C 2.0 port

Midrange

EDITORIAL: Vivo V50 comes 6 months after the V40 and it brings the same Snapdragon 7 Gen 3 chip (same as V30 too), a bigger (6000mAh) Si-C battery and a selfie that is now also Zeiss enhanced. This is a great example of Vivo’s strategy of focusing on battery-screen-photography and is another midranger that will best many flagship phones with it’s very thin body and a lovely, solid feel (despite having a plastic frame), top battery life and excellent photo and video performance. This time, screen resolution is dropped to 1080 and the body is even wider than on V40. Could Vivo be saving the compact size for it’s future flagships?

PROs
thin and very comfortable to use build, Outstanding 2-day 6000mAh Si-C battery endurance with sub-60min 90W charging, good 1080p almost 1300nits 3840PWM AMOLED screen, IP69 element protection, 50MP OIS PDAF main + 50MP AF ultrawide + 50MP AF selfie – all with Zeiss optics for excellent portraits, great photographs and videos
CONs
wide 76.7mm body, a 1080 screen (albeit with HDR10+), no memory expansion, just 3 years of OS updates and no desktop replacement software (updated Jun 9, 2025)
