Vivo launches V50 Elite Edition with Snapdragon processor, 6000 mAh battery

Vivo India has officially introduced the V50 Elite Edition, bolstering its mid-range smartphone line-up with a premium offering. The latest handset arrives in a single variant featuring 12GB RAM and a substantial 512GB of internal storage — and includes a notable value addition: the Vivo TWS 3e earphones packed in the box.

A refined iteration of the standard Vivo V50 that debuted in February, the Elite Edition sports a striking new Rose Red finish and enhanced features tailored for discerning users.

Sleek design meets solid performance

At its core, the V50 Elite Edition is powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 7 Gen 3 chipset, coupled with Vivo’s FuntouchOS 15 based on Android 15. Vivo has pledged three years of Android updates and four years of security patches, ensuring long-term software support.

The device features a 6.77-inch quad-curved AMOLED display with full-HD+ resolution, a 120Hz refresh rate, and a peak local brightness of 4,500 nits — ideal for vivid visuals and seamless scrolling.

Camera and imaging capabilities

The camera system, co-engineered with Zeiss, comprises a dual rear setup with a 50MP primary sensor (featuring optical image stabilisation) and a 50MP ultra-wide lens. On the front, users get a high-resolution 50MP selfie camera, enhanced by an Aura Light and AI-powered editing tools for social media-ready portraits.

Battery, connectivity and build

A robust 6,000mAh battery fuels the device, with support for 90W wired fast charging. Connectivity options include dual 5G, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 5.4, GPS, OTG, and USB Type-C (USB 3.2). The phone also features an in-display fingerprint scanner and boasts an IP68 and IP69 rating for dust and water resistance. It measures 163.29 x 76.72 x 7.57 mm and weighs 199 grams.

Price and availability

The Vivo V50 Elite Edition is priced at Rs 41,999 for the 12GB + 512GB variant. It is now available via Amazon, Flipkart, and select offline retail outlets.

Online buyers can avail of up to Rs 3,000 instant cashback using HDFC, SBI, or Axis Bank cards, or opt for a similar-value exchange bonus. Additionally, no-cost EMI options are available for up to six months.
