With smartphones getting more powerful day by day, the vivo V50 Lite takes a slightly different route. It aims to deliver the features most people actually use—good battery life, a decent camera, and a durable body—without overwhelming you with technical jargon or bloat.
Let’s start with one of the most practical features: battery life. The V50 Lite comes with a 6500mAh battery, which is large by any standard, but it’s packed into a surprisingly slim and light frame. It also charges quickly thanks to vivo’s 90W FlashCharge, meaning you can top up the battery in minutes rather than hours. For those who forget to carry a power bank, the phone can even reverse charge other devices. vivo has included a smart charging system that learns your habits to extend the battery’s lifespan—backed by a 5-year battery health guarantee.
On the camera side, the phone is solid without trying to be flashy. There’s a 50MP Sony main sensor that holds up well in both daylight and lower light settings. The 32MP selfie camera delivers clear shots, and an 8MP ultra-wide lens lets you capture more in a single frame—whether it’s a group photo or a scenic view. Features like the Aura Light Portrait adjust lighting automatically for better-looking portraits, especially indoors or at night.
The display is another strong point. It’s a 6.77-inch AMOLED screen with a 120Hz refresh rate, meaning you’ll get smooth scrolling and vibrant colours. It’s also certified to reduce blue light, which could help if you’re someone who spends long hours on your phone.
For sound, the dual stereo speakers are loud and clear—even in noisy spaces—and tuned to push volume up to 400% without much distortion.
When it comes to performance, users have a choice between two processor setups: a MediaTek Dimensity 6300 with 5G support or a Snapdragon 685 for solid 4G performance. Both are more than capable of handling everyday tasks like video calls, casual gaming, and app switching, helped along by software optimizations like Memory Booster.
One of the more underrated aspects of the V50 Lite is its build quality. It has passed multiple durability certifications, including military-grade testing and a 5-star drop resistance rating. An IP65 rating means it can survive dust and water splashes—useful for anyone who’s ever dropped their phone in the sink or had it covered in dust at a work site.
The software experience is rounded out by smart features like AI Erase for cleaning up unwanted parts of photos, Live Text for copying words straight from images, and AI SuperLink, which helps speed up file transfers and app syncing.
Overall, the V50 Lite feels like a phone designed for people who don’t want to think about their phone too much—but still want it to work well, last long, and take good photos. It’s not trying to be the flashiest device out there—but for many users, that’s exactly the point.
