The Vivo V50 5G marks the latest evolution in Vivo’s legacy of delivering innovative, feature-packed smartphones at competitive price points. Building on the success of its predecessor, the V40 5G (Review), which was widely praised for its performance, design, and value, the V50 5G promises to raise the bar even further.
From the moment I picked up the Vivo V50 5G, I knew this wasn’t just another smartphone — it was a statement piece. Vivo has crafted something truly special with its dual-ring camera design, a feature that immediately catches the eye and refuses to be ignored. It’s not just about looking good — this design exudes premium craftsmanship, making the V50 5G feel like a work of art in your hands.
This is especially true for the Ancora Red variant which offers a refined, sophisticated take on the traditional glossy finish, with a soft, textured surface that feels luxurious to the touch. The matte finish not only enhances the phone’s overall premium appeal but also reduces fingerprints, keeping the device looking pristine even with daily use. The deep, velvety red hue exudes a sense of elegance and modernity, making it stand out without being overly flashy.
On the front side, the V50 5G continues to impress with its Ultra Slim Quad Curved Display which wraps seamlessly around the edges to create an almost borderless, fluid design. The subtle curves don’t just add to its beauty; they enhance comfort, making every swipe and tap feel incredibly smooth.
Beyond its stunning design, the V50 5G’s display delivers where it matters most. The 6.77″ AMOLED panel bursts with life, offering deep blacks, vibrant colours, and razor-sharp details that make every image and video pop. The high refresh rate ensures ultra-smooth scrolling and animations, making interactions feel buttery smooth regardless whether you’re gaming, streaming, or simply navigating through apps.
Like any other V series smartphones, the new V50 5G is designed to deliver a fast, smooth, and reliable experience, thanks to the Qualcomm Snapdragon 7 Gen 3 chipset. Whether navigating through apps, streaming in high resolution, or switching between multiple tasks, the phone maintains an effortless fluidity without lag or slowdowns. For gamers, the combination of the Snapdragon 7 Gen 3 and a high refresh rate display ensures buttery-smooth gameplay, crisp visuals, and fast response times. Even with graphics-intensive titles, the phone stays cool and performs without frame drops.

Battery life is yet another strong point. The V50 5G balances performance and power efficiency, offering all-day battery life even with heavy usage owing to its high-capacity 6,000mAh battery. In the event that the battery runs out, it also supports 90W fast-charging that’s able to fully recharge the device from 0 to 100% in just around an hour time.
The Vivo V50 5G takes smartphone photography to the next level with its dual-cam system co-engineered with legendary optic maker ZEISS, combining cutting-edge mobile imaging with professional-grade optics. These cameras include a 50MP (f/1.88 aperture) main camera as well as a 50MP (f/2.0 aperture) ultra-wide camera that are capable of handling all sorts of photography needs.
Regardless whether you’re shooting in a well-lit or dingy environment, the main camera never fails to deliver sharp, detailed images with lifelike colours and outstanding dynamic range. More importantly, the combination of a high-grade optic lens and Optical Image Stabilization (OIS) helps to ensure every shot remains steady, reducing motion blur and making low-light photography a breeze.
The 50MP Ultra-Wide Camera on the other hand, is specifically designed to capture expansive landscapes, architectural shots, and group photos with edge-to-edge clarity. More importantly, the collaboration with ZEISS ensures that images maintain minimal distortion while delivering consistent colour accuracy and exceptional detail, making every shot look naturally stunning.
ZEISS’s influence extends to Vivo’s advanced image processing, bringing features such as ZEISS Style Portraits for professional-looking bokeh effects and refined skin tones. Whether you’re a casual photographer or an enthusiast, the Vivo V50 5G’s ZEISS-powered dual-camera system ensures every shot is a masterpiece.
In short, the Vivo V50 5G is an exceptional device that blends cutting-edge performance, stunning design, and ZEISS-powered photography into one sleek package. Hence, if you’re looking for top-tier features, reliable performance, and exceptional photography without the flagship price tag, the Vivo V50 5G is a clear winner.
For those who’re interested, the Vivo V50 5G is available for purchase in Singapore starting today at an enticing launch price of just S$699.
