The vivo V40e is about to make its debut in India, and while it may seem like a lower-tier option in the V40 series, it’s packed with impressive specs. If you’re in the market for a slim, fast-charging smartphone, this one is worth considering.
A sleek design with a bright display
One of the first things that stands out about the vivo V40e is its design. The device is set to be available in a stunning Royal Bronze color, which takes inspiration from the iPhone 16 Pro series’s Desert Titanium. The back design is reminiscent of its siblings in the V40 series, so if you’ve liked their aesthetic, you’ll appreciate this one too.
The display itself is another highlight. Reports suggest it will be a curved screen with a peak brightness of a staggering 4,500 nits. That’s brighter than most phones on the market, ensuring visibility in even the sunniest conditions. Not only that, but the V40e is being marketed as India’s slimmest smartphone, proving that you don’t have to compromise on design for performance.
Powering the vivo V40e: MediaTek 7300 chipset
Under the hood, the vivo V40e doesn’t skimp on power either. It’s expected to run on the MediaTek Dimensity 7300 chipset, a reliable processor that’s been seen in other mid-range devices like the Oppo Reno 12 Pro and Motorola Razr 50. Paired with 8GB of RAM, this means the phone will handle multitasking and everyday usage with ease. Whether you’re switching between apps, playing games, or streaming, the V40e should provide smooth performance.
Additionally, the phone will come with FunTouch OS 14 based on Android 14, giving you access to all the latest features and security updates.
Impressive battery life and fast charging
Battery life is one area where the vivo V40e shines. It’s set to feature a hefty 5,500 mAh battery, which should last through a full day of usage, even if you’re a heavy user. But what’s really impressive is its 80W fast charging capability. With such speed, you won’t be waiting around long to top up your phone. This is the same charging power that vivo offers on its higher-end models, meaning you get premium features without the premium price tag.
Expected launch and availability
While there’s no official word on the exact price of the vivo V40e yet, it’s expected to make its debut in India by the end of September. Its launch will follow a series of successful product releases from vivo, and if the rumors are true, this phone will be competing with mid-range contenders like the OnePlus Nord 4 and Realme GT 6T.
In terms of availability, the phone has been spotted on benchmarking websites like Geekbench, and it has even surfaced on the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) website, which means it’s ready for its launch soon.
