vivo V40 Pro Expert Review Summary
Expert Rating:
7.8/10

Senior Associate Editor with 10+ years in tech, reviewed 500+ gadgets.
Verdict
While the Vivo V40 Pro comes just a few months after the V30 Pro, it brings several improvements and upgrades that justify its existence. The two areas where the V30 Pro felt lacking have been fixed in the successor: stereo speakers and better IP rating. Additionally, the Vivo V40 Pro gets a bigger battery, some good ZEISS-backed cameras, and an impressive Dimensity 9200+ chipset. But these upgrades also mean a higher starting price of Rs 49,999.
Pros
- Fast and smooth performance
- Reliable ZEISS-backed cameras
- Good battery life
- Stereo speakers and IP68 rating
Cons
- Limited AI features
- Expensive
Design and display
+
Design has been a key aspect for Vivo no matter the series, but the company does tend to push things with the V series in particular. The V40 Pro is the slimmest phone with a 5,500mAh battery, measuring 7.58mm in thickness. It is also one of the lightest phones with a 5,500mAh battery at 192 grams.

The V30 Pro had a terrific camera system, so Vivo didn't have to change things too much on the V40 Pro. You get a 50MP primary camera that uses Sony's IMX921 sensor with optical image stabilisation, a 50MP portrait Sony IMX816 lens with support for 2x optical zoom and 50x digital zoom, a 50MP wide-angle lens, and a 50MP selfie camera, for a total of four 50MP cameras, all backed by ZEISS. Vivo brought its partnership with ZEISS to the V series first with the V30 Pro and now to the V40 and V40 Pro, making it more accessible to the masses and giving the Leica-backed Xiaomi 14 Civi a run for its money.

Performance and software

The MediaTek Dimensity 9200+ chipset powering the Vivo V40 Pro was announced last year as a more powerful version of the older Dimensity 9200 SoC. Interestingly, the V40 Pro is the first model to launch with this year-old chipset in India. It offers a 10 percent CPU and GPU improvement over its predecessor. The octa-core chip offers a peak clock speed of 3.35GHz and that's enough power to make the Vivo V40 Pro one of the fastest phones in this segment, outscoring the likes of the Snapdragon 8s Gen 3-powered Realme GT 6 in the sub-Rs 50,000 segment.

Battery
+
Vivo has bumped the battery capacity of the Vivo V40 Pro to 5,500mAh from 5,000 in the V30 Pro. This 500mAh increase is welcome as it should mean improved battery life in day-to-day usage. You can now comfortably go through over a full day of usage on a single charge and still have enough in the tank by the end of the night. In our PCMark battery test, the Vivo V40 Pro managed to last 14 hours and 36 minutes from 100 to 20 percent on 80 percent brightness. This is among the best in the sub-Rs 50,000 segment, with only the Realme GT 6T performing marginally better at 14 hours and 45 minutes.
