The ZuPick verdict

3.2out of 5
ConsiderBest at display, weakest at performance.

The vivo V50 5G prioritises endurance, display quality, durability and social-media cameras. Its slower storage, middling gaming performance and lack of a zoom camera keep it from standing above stronger all-round alternatives.

Based on specs, expert reviews and owner discussions.
Performance2.5
It reaches about 821,000 on AnTuTu, below what quicker alternatives at this price manage. The 8 GB of memory is adequate for multitasking, but UFS 2.2 storage slows app installation and loading.
Camera3.4
Optical stabilisation, a 50 MP ultrawide and a 50 MP selfie camera create a flexible setup for everyday photography. Video tops out at 4K30, and the lack of optical zoom limits distant shots.
Display3.9
The curved AMOLED, 120 Hz refresh rate and 4500-nit peak brightness produce a smooth, highly visible screen. Its 1080x2392 resolution is less crisp than the 1.5K panels increasingly common at this price.
Battery3.7
The 6000 mAh battery lasts 16 hours 16 minutes in PCMark, while 90W charging takes it from 20% to 100% in about 39 minutes. Strong wired performance is tempered by cable-only charging.
Value2.6
At ₹34,998, the bright display, large battery, weather protection and high-resolution secondary cameras are attractive. The 8 GB/128 GB configuration, UFS 2.2 storage and modest gaming pace weaken the deal.

Pros & cons

What’s good
Bright curved AMOLED

The 6.77-inch curved AMOLED combines fluid 120 Hz motion with excellent outdoor visibility. HDR10+ support also improves contrast when streaming compatible films and shows.

Excellent battery stamina

The 6000 mAh battery lasts 16 hours 16 minutes in PCMark, comfortably covering a demanding day. Its 90W charging reaches 80% charge in about 39 minutes from 20%.

Useful high-resolution cameras

Optical stabilisation steadies the 50 MP main camera, while the 50 MP ultrawide captures detailed group and landscape shots. The autofocus-equipped 50 MP front camera is particularly useful for selfies and video calls.

High-grade ingress protection

IP68 and IP69 protection provides considerably more reassurance around dust, rain and accidental splashes than most alternatives. The 189-gram body remains relatively manageable despite the large battery.

What’s not
Gaming pace trails rivals

An AnTuTu result of about 821,000 sits below the usual pace at this price. Everyday use should remain smooth, but demanding games require restrained graphics settings.

Older slower storage

UFS 2.2 storage opens and installs apps more slowly than the UFS 3.x and UFS 4.x hardware used by quicker rivals. The ₹34,998 configuration also starts with only 128 GB.

No dedicated zoom camera

The rear system covers standard and ultrawide perspectives but cannot deliver true optical zoom. Distant subjects and portraits across a room lose detail when digitally enlarged.

Few premium conveniences

Wireless charging and NFC are both missing. Charging is therefore cable-only, while contactless payments and quick accessory pairing lose a useful option.
