If you’ve been waiting for a 5G phone that looks premium but doesn’t feel too expensive, the Vivo V40e 5G might be worth a look. It has just launched and is already getting attention for its neat design, bright screen, and solid features. Let’s walk through what it offers.
Premium look without the premium price
Vivo has added the V40e 5G to its mid-range phones for people who want a nice design, steady performance, and good cameras — without paying flagship prices. It’s available in two variants and two colors, so you can pick what fits your needs.
Simple, slim, and comfortable
One of the first things you’ll notice is the design. The phone has a curved glass back, slim body, and weighs only 183 grams. It feels light in the hand and easy to use.
You also get an IP64 rating for basic protection against dust and light splashes, plus Schott Xensation glass on the display for extra strength. The round camera setup and soft glow finish give it a clean, modern look.
Bright AMOLED screen that feels smooth
The V40e 5G comes with a 6.77-inch curved AMOLED display. Watching videos, scrolling through social media, or reading feels comfortable and smooth.
It supports HDR10+, has a 120Hz refresh rate, and gets nice and bright. There’s also a Wet Touch feature, which helps the screen respond even when your fingers are slightly wet — handy when you’re outside or sweating.
Good performance for everyday use
Inside, the phone runs on the MediaTek Dimensity 7300. It’s made for everyday tasks like browsing, chatting, streaming, and some mid-level gaming.
You get 8GB RAM, and it can borrow another 8GB as virtual RAM when needed. It runs Funtouch OS 14 based on Android 14, and Vivo promises long-term software and security support.
Cameras that do a good job
On the back, there’s a 50MP main camera with optical image stabilization, which helps reduce blur, especially at night or if your hand shakes. You also get an 8MP ultra-wide camera for bigger scenes.
On the front, there’s a 50MP selfie camera that can record 4K videos. Features like AI Photo Enhancer and AI Eraser make small edits easier.
Battery that lasts, charging that’s fast
The 5500mAh battery is built to easily last a full day, even if you’re using the phone a lot. With 80W fast charging, it can go from empty to full in a little over 30 minutes. There’s no wireless charging, but the fast wired charging helps balance that out.
Price and availability in India
The phone comes in two versions:
- 8GB + 128GB — listed at ₹33,999, available for about ₹24,999 after discount. You also get 5% cashback with a Flipkart Axis Bank credit card.
- 8GB + 256GB — listed at ₹35,999, available for around ₹26,999 during the sale.
Final thoughts
Overall, the Vivo V40e 5G offers good looks, a smooth display, capable cameras, and quick charging — all in the mid-range segment. If you want a phone that feels premium without going over budget, it’s a solid option to consider.
