5 things we love about the Vivo V30 series

Here are five features we absolutely adore about the new Vivo V30 series.

Powerful cameras

The Vivo V-series is known for its camera capabilities, and the new Vivo V30 series is no different. The company has collaborated with Zeiss to improve the cameras of the Vivo V30 Pro. The phone offers a triple camera setup with a 50-megapixel Sony IMX920 sensor with OIS support, a 50-megapixel Zeiss portrait camera, and a 50-megapixel ultra-wide-angle lens. The phone offers six different types of portrait-like bokeh effects. Additionally, it includes video bokeh, which claims to deliver a cinematic experience.

Coming to the Vivo V30, it offers a dual camera setup with a 50-megapixel primary sensor with OIS support and a 50-megapixel ultra-wide angle lens. Another interesting feature of the Vivo V30 series is the new group portrait photo that uses the wide-angle camera to take 92-degree wide-angle shots. For the front, both models are loaded with a 50-megapixel IAF selfie camera. Additionally, both the smartphones also support 4K video recording on both the front and rear cameras.

Sleek design

The Vivo V30 series is set to be one of the slimmest smartphones of 2024. The phone is 7.45mm thick and features a borderless curved display that claims to enhance the in-hand feel. The phones have a strong central frame, metal edges, and custom aluminum alloy corners for added durability.

Vivo V30 has three color options: Andaman Blue, Peacock Green, and Classic Black. The Vivo V30 Pro comes in Andaman Blue and Classic Black color options. This time the special focus is on the Andaman Blue color option, which is said to represent the Andaman Sea.

Sharp display

The Vivo V30 series also offers some decent displays. The phones are packed with a 6.78-inch 1.5K curved AMOLED display that offers a resolution of 2800 x 1260 pixels. Both the phones also have a peak lock brightness of 2800 nits with a 120Hz refresh rate.

Vivo V30 series comes with Schott Xensation glass for display protection. Moreover, you get HDR10+ support, 100 percent DCI-P3 color gamut, and SGS eye protection certification.

80W fast charging

The latest models come with some solid battery specs. The Vivo V30 series offers a large 5,000mAh battery with 80W Flash Charge support. Additionally, the company claims that the battery of the new models can last twice as long as the previous generation models. Also, the company claims that the battery health will last over 80 percent for 4 years thanks to 1,600 charge-discharge cycles.

MediaTek Dimensity 8200 and Snapdragon 7 Gen 3 SoC

Vivo V30 Pro is powered by MediaTek Dimensity 8200 processor and Mali-G610 MC6 GPU. The phone packs up to 12GB of LPDDR5X RAM and up to 512GB of UFS 3.1 storage. On the other hand, Vivo V30 comes with Qualcomm Snapdragon 7 Gen 3 processor with Adreno 720 GPU. The model has 12GB LPDDR4X RAM and 256GB UFS 2.2 storage.

Both models feature a large VC cooling chamber and 11 built-in temperature sensors that improve thermal performance. Moreover, the phones will have three generations of Android and four years of security updates.

1 thing we didn’t like about the Vivo V30 series

Not all things are perfect, and the same can be said for the Vivo V30 series. Here is one thing we think could be improved.

Bloatware

FunTouch OS 14 is undoubtedly a heavier skin compared to the Android 14 operating system, and it comes with its fair share of bloatware, which may end up being a condition of the price tag. You still get several third-party apps, the unpopular V-appstore and more. However, you can easily delete some applications from the phone.

To conclude, the Vivo V30 series looks like an interesting phone that offers a premium and sleek design, a bright and sharp display, decent performance, and some good cameras. However, the company still needs to work on the user interface to make it more in line with the competition.
