Vivo has launched its V40 and V40 Pro smartphones, featuring significantly larger batteries while maintaining their sleek profiles. The new devices also come with advanced camera systems and updated designs.
Design and Display:
The V40 and V40 Pro share identical dimensions of 164.2 x 74.9 x 7.58 millimeters and both sport a 6.78-inch AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate and a resolution of 2,800 x 1,260 pixels. The screen brightness has been notably increased, reaching a peak of 4,500 nits, a major enhancement over the previous V30 series display.
Internals and Software:
The V40 retains the Snapdragon 7 Gen 3 chipset from its predecessor, the V30. In contrast, the V40 Pro receives a significant boost with the Dimensity 9200+ processor, an upgrade from the Dimensity 8200 in earlier V Pro models. Both phones run on Android 14 with Funtouch OS 14 on top. Vivo has committed to providing OS updates for 4 years.
