The vivoV40 And vivo V40 Pro officially launched today, featuring significant upgrades to battery capacity while retaining their ultra-thin bodies. New camera setups and designs are also part of the package.
The vivo V40 inherited the Snapdragon 7 Gen 3 from the vivo V30, while the vivo V40 Pro takes a big leap forward and now features a Dimensity 9200+ chip, which is a lot more powerful than the Dimensity 8200 that’s featured on the previous three vivo V Pro phones.
The V40 and V40 Pro have the same dimensions (164.2 x 74.9 x 7.58 mm) and the same display: a 6.78-inch AMOLED with a refresh rate of up to 120 Hz and a resolution of 2,800 x 1,260 pixels.
The display now reaches a peak brightness of 4,500 nits, which is a huge upgrade over the similarly sized panel on the V30 series. The panel features a punch hole for a single 50MP Samsung ISOCELL JN1 camera.

On the back, the V40 Pro features a 50MP main camera with a Sony IMX921 sensor, a 50MP telephoto camera with a Sony IMX816 sensor, and a 50MP ultra-wide camera with an unnamed sensor.
The standard V40 features dual cameras on the isle, which the company says are inspired by the Gemini constellation: a 50MP main camera and a 50MP ultra-wide camera.
The main cameras feature OIS and AI Aura Light Portrait, enabled by a ring-type LED flash.
The phones come with Funtouch OS 14, based on Android 14. The company promises “50 months of smooth experience”, which refers to the length of their software support. Additionally, the batteries are promised to be able to withstand 1,600 full cycles and retain at least 80% of their original capacity, which should extend the lifespan of the phones.
Even more impressive, the V40 and V40 Pro feature 5,500mAh batteries — the largest in the vivo V series to date. They also support fast 80W FlashCharge via wired charging.
The vivo V40 comes in three memory options: 8/128GB, 12/256GB, and 12/512GB. The vivo V40 Pro also comes in three different variants: 8/256GB, 12/256GB, or 12/512GB.
