In a bold move to redefine mid-range smartphone photography, Vivo has unveiled the Vivo V50e, a device that promises to blend cutting-edge camera technology with the latest Android software. The highlight of the launch is the phone’s Sony Multifocus Pro Portrait Camera, a feature designed to challenge flagship rivals, while its pre-installed Android 15 operating system positions it as a forward-thinking choice for tech enthusiasts.
A Camera That Steals the Spotlight
At the heart of the Vivo V50e is its 64MP Sony Multifocus Pro Portrait camera, which leverages advanced sensor technology and AI-driven algorithms to deliver studio-grade photography. The system boasts real-time focus tracking, multi-depth scene recognition, and enhanced low-light performance, making it ideal for capturing dynamic subjects like pets, sports, or candid portraits. Vivo claims the camera can switch between focal points in milliseconds, ensuring crisp details even in chaotic environments.
“The V50e is engineered for users who refuse to compromise on creativity,” said a Vivo spokesperson during the launch event. “With Sony’s expertise, we’ve created a camera that adapts to your vision, not the other way around.”
Complementing the primary lens is an 8MP ultra-wide-angle shooter and a 2MP macro sensor, rounding out a versatile triple-camera setup. Selfie lovers aren’t left behind either—the 32MP front camera introduces AI-powered skin retouching and cinematic bokeh effects.

Android 15 Out of the Box
The V50e is among the first devices globally to ship with Android 15, Google’s latest OS iteration. Early adopters will benefit from features like enhanced privacy controls, app archiving, and improved battery optimization. Vivo’s custom Funtouch OS 14 skin adds intuitive tweaks, such as Smart Window multitasking and customizable always-on displays, ensuring a seamless user experience.
Design and Display: Sleek Meets Immersive
The Vivo V50e sports a 6.78-inch AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate, HDR10+ support, and a peak brightness of 1300 nits—ideal for streaming and gaming. Its slim 7.5mm chassis houses a 4800mAh battery with 80W fast charging, promising a full charge in under 35 minutes. The device comes in Stellar Blue and Moonlit Black, both featuring a matte-finish back to resist fingerprints.
Performance and Pricing
Powered by a MediaTek Dimensity 8200 chipset and up to 12GB of RAM, the V50e targets multitaskers and casual gamers. While it may not rival premium gaming phones, its vapor chamber cooling system ensures sustained performance during extended use.
Though Vivo has yet to confirm global pricing, industry insiders speculate the V50e will retail between ₹32,999 and ₹36,999 in India, positioning it as a value-packed contender against the Pixel 7a and Galaxy A54.
Availability
The Vivo V50e is set to hit shelves across Asia and Europe starting October 15, with pre-orders opening next week. Early buyers will receive free Vivo wireless earbuds and a one-year screen replacement warranty.
With its camera prowess and Android 15 edge, the V50e reinforces Vivo’s strategy to democratize high-end features—a move that could reshape expectations in the mid-tier market.
