The premium smartphone segment sure is a cut-throat one. This is not because manufacturers offer impressive hardware at this price point but because we often see smartphones from the next tier receive price cuts and tip the scales for devices launched in the sub-Rs. 50,000 segment. The Vivo V40 Pro becomes a victim for two reasons. Firstly, it's priced a bit too high from the get-go. Secondly, it also has to compete with some top-tier premium smartphones like the iQoo 12, which was launched at Rs. 57,999 a year ago but currently retails at Rs. 49,999. Vivo's V40 Pro is priced at Rs. 49,999 for its base 8GB + 256GB variant, while the 12GB + 512GB variant is priced even higher at Rs. 55,999. After using it for a while, I discovered that its price tag is not its only problem.
Vivo’s V40 Pro has a slim design which uses a polycarbonate frame sandwiched between two glass screens with curved sides. The device also offers a top-notch IP rating and finally offers stereo speakers. The phone has a curved edge display which gets really bright and has a thin bezel.
The device offers enough raw performance to easily handle day-to-day tasks. Gaming is also not a problem as the phone can easily handle high end games. The device, despite its slim design, surprisingly manages to pack in a vapour chamber cooling system which keeps its performance in check when under stress.
Camera performance of the primary and camera is good and the same goes for the phone’s telephoto camera, but the ultrawide camera’s image quality leaves a lot to be desired. Battery life is impressive and will easily last beyond a day of heavy usage. Charging speed albeit only wired is also quite fast.
