Last week’s poll shows mixed opinions about the vivo V40 Pro – some think that it’s a great option for the money, but even more people think that it’s overpriced. To be fair, there are regional variations when it comes to pricing and competition.
The vivo V40 Pro is seen as a version of the V30 Pro with a flagship chipset. Speaking of, the V30 Pro is only a few months old (it launched this March), so some are tempted to wait for the V50 Pro. But in the here and now, the V40 Pro is a solid pick if you want high-quality cameras.
There were some complaints about the curved screen, as usual, but the durability of the IP69K rating, the large 5,500mAh battery, the 50MP 50mm tele camera and the Dimensity 9200+ are all seen as good reasons to pick the V40 Pro.
The vanilla vivo V40 is a much smaller upgrade – same Snapdragon 7 Gen 3 chipset, same curved 6.78” OLED display too. True, it does gain the IP69K rating (up from a basic IP54) and the battery is 500mAh larger. However, the popularity of this model will depend on reviews even more so than with its Pro sibling.
The Zeiss label on the back promises superior optics compared to what the V30 used, so an improvement in image quality might tilt things in favor of the V40. The price is an issue, though, as the same amount of money can get you a Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 chip with the Xiaomi 14 Civi, which also has a tele camera, unlike the V40.
