Vivo has officially launched the Vivo V40 in India as part of its popular V-series. Positioned in the premium mid-range bracket, the V40 brings a bright curved AMOLED display, Snapdragon 7 Gen 3 performance, ZEISS-tuned cameras, and a 5,500mAh battery with 80W charging. Alongside these hardware highlights, Vivo is offering special bank discounts, EMI options, and protection plans to make the device more attractive at launch.
Display and Design
The Vivo V40 sports a 6.78-inch curved AMOLED display with Full HD+ resolution (1260×2800 pixels), 120Hz refresh rate, and HDR10+ support. The panel reaches a peak brightness of 4,500 nits, making it one of the brightest in its class — great for outdoor use and HDR video.
Design-wise, the phone weighs around 190 g and measures 7.58 mm slim. It is IP68-certified for dust and water resistance, giving it durability rarely seen in this price range. In India, the device is available in Ganges Blue, Lotus Purple, and Titanium Grey finishes.
Performance and Hardware
Under the hood, the V40 runs on the Qualcomm Snapdragon 7 Gen 3 chipset (4nm), paired with 8GB or 12GB LPDDR4X RAM and up to 512GB UFS 2.2 storage. The chipset handles gaming, multitasking,
and content creation with ease, while Vivo’s cooling system keeps performance stable during heavy use.
Camera System
Vivo’s collaboration with ZEISS continues on the Vivo V40. The rear setup includes:
50MP OIS primary sensor
50MP ultra-wide sensor
The ZEISS partnership ensures natural colors and cinematic portrait effects. The phone also supports 4K video recording with advanced stabilization.
On the front, a 50MP selfie camera delivers sharp portraits and smooth video calls, making the V40 an excellent choice for vloggers and social media creators.
Battery and Charging
Vivo V40 is powered by a 5,500mAh battery, offering a full day of heavy use. Thanks to 80W FlashCharge technology, the device can go from 0 to 50% in under 25 minutes. This combination of high capacity and fast charging makes it one of the strongest battery performers in its price band.
Software and Features
The phone ships with Funtouch OS 14 based on Android 14. Vivo has committed to 2 years of major Android updates and 3 years of security patches. Features like Smart Charging, AI-based photography enhancements, and customizable Always-On Display add extra polish.
This pricing places the Vivo V40 against competitors like the iQOO Neo 9 Pro, OnePlus Nord 5, and Samsung Galaxy A36 5G.

Flat 10% instant discount on select HDFC, SBI, and ICICI bank cards.
