Vivo’s new V30 Lite mid-range smartphone goes global

Just a few days before the end of the year, Chinese phone maker Vivo launched its first-ever V30 series phone, the V30 Lite. Probably the most affordable of the new series, the Vivo V30 Lite is a standard mid-range smartphone that offers some interesting features.

To begin with, the phone is equipped with Qualcomm's Snapdragon 695 processor, coupled with 12 GB of RAM and 256 GB of internal storage. Unfortunately, this one doesn't run Google's latest Android 14 operating system. Instead, Vivo decided to include Android 13-based FuntouchOS on the V30 Lite and offer a software upgrade later.

On the bright side, Vivo's new mid-range smartphone sports a very bright screen. The 6.67-inch FHD+ AMOLED display offers a peak brightness of 1,150 nits and a refresh rate of 120Hz, which seems to have become the norm for mid-range handsets.

In the camera department, the V30 Lite also feels pretty strong thanks to its triple-camera setup, which includes 64-megapixel primary sensors (OIS included), 8-megapixel ultra-wide sensors, and 2-megapixel depth sensors. megapixels. Additionally, the phone comes with a generous 50-megapixel selfie sensor, which is quite rare not only on mid-range phones but also on any other tier.

It's worth noting that the V30 Lite features an IP54 rating, NFC (Near Field Communication) support, 5G connectivity, an in-display fingerprint scanner, and a huge battery of 4,800 mAh with a charging speed of 44 W.

For now, Vivo V30 Lite is available for purchase in Black Forest and Rose Gold for around $530. Mexican customers are among the first to be able to get their hands on Vivo's new mid-range smartphone, but we can assume that its availability will expand to more countries in the coming weeks.
