vivo V40e features

The vivo V40e has a 6.77-inch 3D curved AMOLED display with 120Hz refresh rate. Besides that, its curved design gives the phone a modern look to it, thus making it offer an immersive viewing experience especially when watching videos or gaming.

The phone sports the MediaTek Dimensity 7300 chipset along with 8 GB RAM and an additional 8 GB of virtual RAM. This will probably be sufficient to handle common tasking such as multitasking, browsing social media, and some light gaming.

For photography, there’s a 50MP Sony IMX882 sensor at the back, and there’s 8MP ultra-wide for wider shots. In addition, the 50MP camera on the front side is a show-stealer, particularly because it comes with eye autofocus and gets you in more sharp and focused selfies.

The design of the phone is really impressive; its thickness is measured as 7.49 mm and weight at 183g. Despite a slimmer form factor, the V40e has a 5500mAh battery, vivo claims that it can be used throughout the day with moderate usage. Plus, it supports 80W fast charging for quick refiling.

The V40e runs on Android 14, topped with Funtouch OS 14. Also, the company promises that it will provide three years of Android update and four years of security updates. That is a good indication for buyers who look forward to using their phone for a couple of years.
