Vivo V50 vs Vivo V50e : Vivo has freshly added two exciting phones to the mid-range zone: the Vivo V50 and the Vivo V50e. Both phones possess their own interesting features; now, it will really come upon the user to choose between the two from some special features unavailable in either of the two. Let’s see how these two phones differ in design, performance, cameras, battery, etc.
Design and Display
Once again, the Vivo V50 comes with an immersive, gigantic 6.77 inch AMOLED display, Full HD+ resolution, and very smooth 120Hz refresh rate. The brightness peaks at 4500 nits, ensuring very good outdoor visibility. The strong protection of diamond-shield glass goes a long way in rendering the sleek glass front and back design. It is very slim and light, weighing only 189 grams, and hence the grip feels really nice.
The V50e has a slightly larger 6.78-inch AMOLED screen, again with a 120Hz refresh rate, again smooth scrolling and very vibrant colors. Unfortunately, mention of brightness levels, glass protection, or otherwise is absent. Compared with the plastic back of the Vincenzo V50e, the phone may feel less premium; it’s lighter and perhaps makes the phone cheaper to manufacture.
Performance and Software
The Vivo V50, of course, comes with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 7 Gen 3 under the hood, which is claimed to be as fast and power efficient as possible. Memory options include 8GB or 12GB RAM, while up to 512GB of internal storage is provided with no expandable storage supported. Hence, this whole thing results in a very smooth experience while gaming, multitasking, or even running heavier applications on this phone. As for Android 15, V50 operates with FunTouch OS 15 and certainly brings in a presentable and user-friendly interface.
While the Vivo V50 runs on a much newer MediaTek Dimensity 8200, which is just a couple of steps behind the Snapdragon in the V50, the Vivo V50e offers a decidedly basic and lower-end chipset vis-a-vis the V50. The V50e supplies dependable 8GB of RAM plus an 8GB extended RAM feature assisting in multitasking. It has adequate internal storage of 256GB, which supports an external microSD card-reminding feature that is important for those wishing for more storage space for photos, videos and other apps. It also runs on Android 15 with FunTouch OS.
Camera Capabilities
Robust camera setups are apparently the case for both phones. The Vivo V50 has a dual rear camera setup: a 50 MP main sensor with Optical Image Stabilization (OIS), and a 50 MP ultra-wide lens. Hence, there must most likely be a 50 MP high-resolution camera available in the front for selfies. Built-in Zeiss optics and a Ring-LED flash ensure that the V50 performs well for low-light photography.
In contrast, Vivo V50e contains a triple rear camera: a 50 MP main camera plus a 32MP secondary lens and 8MP third lens-all providing a wider range of shooting possibilities. Great selfies are taken with a powerful 50MP front camera. The camera system of the V50e also provides 4K video, HDR as well as OIS and EIS for more stable videos and photos. In the overall camera department, both devices excel, albeit the V50 will have a slight edge in image quality due to its partnership with Zeiss.
Battery and Charging
Batteries are an essential part of any smart user’s life, and both these phones work well in this respect. The Vivo V50 boasts a mammoth 6000mAh power pack, expected to survive considerable day-to-day use for a day or even longer. Thanks to its 90W fast charging feature, it will take very little time charging from zero to full on a wall outlet. Reverse charging is also a handy feature to charge other devices, be it your earbuds or your smartwatch.
A 5700 mAh battery may sound a bit low when put side by side with the competition, but pairing it 100-Watt charging helps the Vivo V50e to juice it pretty quickly. Besides, it does support reverse charging but at a lesser speed of 7.5W compared to V50.
Extra Features
Such ratings of IP68/IP69 will lend the Vivo V50 extra reassurance if it happens to slip into a pond or is used in dusty conditions. The Vivo V50 offers a set of stereo speakers for elevating the audio experience, which is among the star attractions, modern Wi-Fi 6, and Bluetooth 5.4 for the connectivity department.
The Vivo V50e is also a well-rated device for water and dust protection, but the IP64 rating doesn’t go on to offer such high water-resistance as the Vivo V50. It would pay off on sound with Hi-Res audio on board and Wi-Fi 5 with Bluetooth 5.4 for connectivity. The back made of plastic doesn’t add to the premium feel, but it does lighten the weight of the phone.
Pricing
With four different configurations for storage, starting at ₹34,999 for the 128GB storage with 8GB RAM and going up to ₹40,999 for the 512GB storage with 12GB RAM, variants are available for the Vivo V50 in India. With options available to buyers with storage consideration and budget potential from low to high, this is a great opportunity to possess a potential premium product right.
Once again, the Vivo V50e’s pricing is likely to hover around ₹40,000 for the 8GB + 256GB variant: pricier than the V50, possibly due to either newer hardware or availability. Well, these prices can fluctuate a lot with the retailer and location.
If you are after a more premium feel and look for build quality, a better-performing phone, and one with great camera capabilities, then the Vivo V50 is for you. A good phone for someone who wants to game smoothly, multitask, and still serve them as a reliable phone for their daily use.
The Vivo V50e could be a good selection, in case expandable storage, fast charging, or overall slightly less weight are your priorities, combined with fairly decent specifications.
Both phones do indeed share good specifications for the price anyway, so picking the one that will suit your needs is foremost.
