Vivo V40 Review

The Vivo V40 is a device that positions itself as a strong contender in the mid-range smartphone market. With a focus on delivering a balanced experience, the V40 aims to cater to users who value camera quality, battery life, and overall performance without breaking the bank. Here’s a detailed review of the device, covering its key features and performance.

Design and Display

The Vivo V40 boasts a sleek design, with a slim profile that feels premium in hand. The device features a 6.56-inch AMOLED display, which delivers vibrant colors and deep blacks, making it ideal for media consumption. The display is also Widevine L1 certified, allowing for high-definition streaming on platforms like Netflix and Amazon Prime Video.

With a peak brightness of 1300 nits, the screen remains visible even under direct sunlight. The design is further complemented by an under-display fingerprint sensor, which is both fast and responsive.

Performance

Under the hood, the Vivo V40 is powered by the Snapdragon 7 Gen 3 chipset, which offers a decent performance boost over its predecessor. Paired with up to 12GB of RAM and 512GB of UFS 3.0 storage, the device handles multitasking and demanding applications with relative ease. However, it’s worth noting that while the performance is solid, there are other devices in the same price range that offer more powerful chipsets.

For gamers, the Vivo V40 provides a smooth experience with high frame rates, thanks to the Adreno 720 GPU. The device also performs well in benchmarks, scoring high in tests like Geekbench, although it may not lead the pack.

Camera

The camera setup on the Vivo V40 is one of its standout features. It includes a 50MP primary camera, a 50MP telephoto lens, and a 50MP ultra-wide-angle lens. The camera performance in daylight is impressive, with good color reproduction and sharp details. The Zeiss optics play a crucial role in enhancing the portrait mode, providing various options that produce professional-looking photos with excellent depth of field.

In low-light conditions, the V40 also performs admirably, thanks to its advanced sensor and software optimizations. The camera can capture detailed images even in challenging lighting, though there is some noticeable grain in the darkest environments. Additionally, the 50MP selfie camera delivers high-quality self-portraits, making it a great choice for users who prioritize front-facing camera performance.

Battery Life and Charging

The Vivo V40 is equipped with a 5500mAh battery, which is a significant improvement over its predecessor. This large battery ensures that the phone can easily last a full day of heavy usage. The device also supports 80W fast charging, which can recharge the battery to 100% in under an hour, a feature that is particularly convenient for users on the go.

Software and User Experience

Running on Funtouch OS based on Android, the Vivo V40 offers a smooth and user-friendly interface. However, some users may find the pre-installed bloatware to be a minor annoyance, as these apps can reappear after a factory reset. Despite this, the overall software experience is positive, with plenty of customization options and features.

At a starting price of approximately $420, the Vivo V40 is a well-rounded device that excels in areas like camera performance, battery life, and display quality. While it may not be the best performer in its price range, it offers a compelling package for users who prioritize photography and a premium display experience. The lack of NFC and some other high-end features might be a drawback for some, but overall, the Vivo V40 is a solid choice for those looking for a capable mid-range smartphone.
