vivo V40 512GB Expert Review Summary
Expert Rating:
![Shekhar Thakran]()
Verdict
With meaningful upgrades, the V40 comes as a decent option in mid-range. With ZEISS goodness, the phone offers a better portrait camera experience than its predecessor but somehow struggles to capture details in certain scenarios. Some of the aspects that favour V40 include a sleek design, long battery backup, and a bright vibrant AMOLED display. However, in the performance department, some phones outperform the phone as Vivo has retained the same processor on the phone as its predecessor.
Pros
- Impressive portrait photography
- Peak display brightness of 4500 nits
- Slim design with 5500mAh battery
Cons
- Same chipset as its predecessor
- Cameras struggle with capturing details
Design and display
+
While other brands have made subtle changes to their phones over the years, Vivo completely overhauls its design with each new series. This time around, the brand has gone ahead with a circular camera module on the top-left at the back with the assisting Aura Light ring right below it. The phone comes with curved sides and a glass back. Although I am not a big fan of this combination, it looks quite elegant and minimalistic in the case of the V40. Admittedly, when I first saw the renders of the phone, I had my doubts regarding the design. But, in person, the Titanium Grey colour variant of the handset didn't just look good but also had a pretty decent in-hand feel. The phone is also available in Lotus Purple and Ganges Blue colours as well.

Cameras
+
The V40 ships with a dual camera setup at the back, featuring a 50MP primary sensor with f/1.9 aperture, 1/1.55-inch sensor size, PDAF, and OIS support. The primary shooter is assisted by an ultra-wide 50MP camera with a 119-degree field-of-view, 1/2.76-inch sensor size, and AF. As I mentioned earlier, the V40 comes with ZEISS-branded cameras this time around. To provide a more natural flash, the brand has included 'Studio Quality Aura Light' on the phone. To recall, the V30 series also had the Aura Light but in a rounded square shape. This time around, you get a circular light but the idea remains the same - to provide you with a natural flash that can improve low-light images without overexposing them, unlike regular flash.

Performance and software
+
While the Vivo V40 comes with some meaningful upgrades in many key areas, one aspect where it remains the same as its predecessor is the choice of processor. The handset comes with the Snapdragon 7 Gen 3 chipset at its helm, and this is hardly a surprise as many brands are still opting for this SoC in this price bracket. The phone comes with up to 12GB of LPDDR4X RAM and 512GB of UFS 2.2 storage but the unit I received had 8GB RAM and 128GB storage. The phone offers up to 12GB of extended RAM to help it tackle some of the more demanding tasks and run more than 40 apps in the background to make sure you don't have to constantly deal with reloading issues within the apps.

Battery life and charging speeds
+
With a 5,500mAh battery and 80W fast charging support, the V40 managed to offer a pretty good backup for me in daily usage. I usually had some battery left by the end of the day, which is always a good sign. In our PCMark battery test, the phone lasted for 13 hours. This is somewhat similar to the backup offered by other phones in this price range.
