Vivo’s latest V-series lineup welcomes a new addition with the Vivo V50 Lite — a more budget-friendly sibling to the higher-end Vivo V50 (Review). While the V50 grabs attention with its premium features and sleek finish, the V50 Lite aims to deliver a similar design language and user-friendly experience at a more accessible price point.
Vivo V50 Lite: Design
The Vivo V50 Lite keeps things sleek and stylish with a design that feels both modern and minimalist. One of its standout visual elements is the pill-shaped camera module on the back that gives the phone a clean and refined look.
At just 7.79mm thin and weighing 197 grams, the phone strikes a nice balance between being slim and sturdy in hand. It’s comfortable to hold for long periods and slips easily into pockets or bags without feeling bulky.
The Titanium Gold variant that I’m holding on brings a subtle yet stylish flair to the phone’s overall design. Likewise, the slightly matte finish also adds a touch of sophistication, giving it a soft sheen that catches the light without being too flashy. It certainly does a great job in minimizing fingerprints to ensure it looks fresh throughout the day.
On the front side, the Vivo V50 Lite continues to impress with its spacious 6.77-inch AMOLED display, offering a sharp resolution of 2392 × 1080 pixels. Colours are rich and vibrant, blacks are satisfyingly deep, and the overall viewing experience feels immersive, making it perfect for everything from binge-watching shows to casual gaming.

On top of that, the 120Hz refresh rate also adds an extra layer of smoothness which makes everyday interactions — like scrolling, swiping, and gaming — feel more fluid and responsive. Along with an impressive peak brightness that goes up to 1,800 nits, the screen remains clear and legible even under direct sunlight, ensuring a consistently great viewing experience whether you’re indoors or on the go.
Vivo V50 Lite: Performance
Under the hood, the Vivo V50 Lite is powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 6300 chipset, paired with a generous 12GB of RAM and a massive 512GB of internal storage. This combo ensures smooth multitasking, responsive app launches, and enough storage space for everything from high-res photos to large apps and games.
Although the Dimensity 6300 may not be a powerhouse for heavy gaming, it handles everyday tasks, streaming, and light gaming with ease. The phone stays snappy and reliable throughout daily use, and it’s certainly one of the strongest performers in the mid-range segment.
Complementing its reliable performance is a massive 6,500mAh battery, which easily powers the device through a full day of active use. And when it’s time to recharge, the 90W fast charging steps in to deliver a quick power boost — cutting downtime significantly and getting you back to full in under an hour.
Vivo V50 Lite: Cameras
On the imaging front, the Vivo V50 Lite keeps things sharp and simple with a dependable dual-camera setup. Leading the way is a 50MP Sony IMX882 main sensor, which consistently delivers crisp, detailed shots with vibrant colours — whether you’re snapping portraits, food shots, or scenic landscapes. In fact, the camera also performs well even in trickier lighting, making it a solid everyday shooter.
While the 8MP ultra-wide camera on the Vivo V50 Lite may not match the main 50MP sensor in sharpness, it still excels in capturing expansive scenes. With its 120° field-of-view, it’s ideal for group photos, sweeping landscapes and architectural shots, thereby bringing extra versatility to your photography toolkit for more creative compositions.
Vivo V50 Lite: Verdict
The Vivo V50 Lite delivers an impressive mix of style, performance, and endurance at a wallet-friendly price of just S$499. From its sleek design and immersive AMOLED display to its capable cameras and massive battery with ultra-fast charging, it checks all the right boxes for everyday users looking for a dependable and stylish mid-range phone.
