Vivo is teaming up with Amazon India to bring its latest mid-range marvel to the market — the Vivo V50e. This camera-centric smartphone has already made its presence known with live landing pages on both vivo.com and amazon.in. With a striking design, some unique camera features, and a few surprises under the hood, the V50e is shaping up to be more than just another mid-ranger.

Design
At first glance, the Vivo V50e might remind you of the Vivo S20 series, and that’s not a coincidence. The design language is similar, but not identical. The standout difference? The V50e features a quad-curved display, a premium touch that’s only seen on the S20 Pro, not the regular S20 (which comes with a flat screen). This subtle design shift gives the phone a sleeker, more high-end vibe.
Selfie
If you’re someone who loves snapping selfies or creating content, the Vivo V50e’s front camera won’t disappoint. It boasts a 50MP ultra-wide selfie shooter with two field-of-view options — 0.8x and 1.0x. The wider angle is 106°, perfect for group selfies or scenic backdrops. There’s also a fun addition called the “Wedding Portrait Studio,” a feature that lets users apply unique filters and decorative frames, making every selfie a little more festive. This feature is shared with the V50 as well.
Rear
Flipping to the back, the main highlight is the 50MP Sony IMX882 sensor. This 1/2-inch sensor is equipped with Optical Image Stabilization (OIS), which means sharper shots even when your hands are shaky. Vivo calls this setup a “multi-focal camera” because it supports 1x, 1.5x, and 2x portrait modes, giving users more flexibility in framing their shots.
To complete the camera system, there’s a 116° ultra-wide-angle lens for those sweeping landscape shots and group photos. Another nice touch? The Aura Light — Vivo’s signature ring light — which helps with low-light photography and gives portraits that soft, studio-like glow. And both the front and back cameras are capable of shooting in 4K, which is impressive for a mid-range phone.
Durability
One of the unexpected wins with the Vivo V50e is its durability. It comes with IP68 and IP69 ratings, which means it’s protected not just from dust and regular water splashes, but even from full submersion and hot water jets. This is a serious upgrade from the S20 series, which only has an IP64 rating — and even the previous V40e doesn’t come close.
But it doesn’t stop there. The V50e also received an SGS Five-Star drop resistance rating. Apparently, it survived 42,000 drop tests under all sorts of conditions. So yeah, it’s not just pretty — it’s built to last.
Performance
While the design and camera tech take center stage, we also know there’s a different chipset powering the V50e compared to the S20. Although the exact chip hasn’t been officially confirmed, benchmark leaks suggest a change in the performance game. Combined with the tougher build and higher water resistance, it’s clear that the V50e isn’t just an S20 clone. It’s carving its own path.
We’ll have to wait for the full launch to get all the details, but from what we know so far, the V50e is bringing serious value to the mid-range segment.
