Typically, we don't think of mid-range smartphones with good cameras. In reality, when it comes to photography, even some expensive cellphones fall short. One of the few smartphone companies that has been questioning this idea is Vivo, which may have raised the bar for mid-range cameras with its most recent model, the Vivo V50.After testing the Vivo V50 for more than ten days, I've written a thorough evaluation of this camera champion.During a product briefing, the Starry Night version of the vivo V50 that I have been testing looked normal from a distance. However, I was able to fully appreciate its beauty when I had it in my hand. In India, this is the first smartphone with 3D-Star technology. This gives the device depth, giving it a dreamlike appearance that is different from anything I have seen on a smartphone's rear.
The Vivo V50 has an underwater camera mode and is rated IP68/IP69. This is one of those phones that you may use while swimming in a pool or taking a shower.Another current smartphone trend that the V50 has adopted is the quad-curved display, which gives it an appearance that is nearly as high-end as the far more costly X100 Pro. Excellent visibility is guaranteed even in direct sunshine thanks to this 6.77-inch display's 1.5K resolution and 120Hz refresh rate, which can reach up to 4,500 nits in HDR mode. The screen protector is pre-installed on the display, which has consistent bezels on all four sides.
