Vivo, the renowned Chinese smartphone manufacturer, is gearing up to unveil its latest offering, the Vivo V40 Lite, on November 11, 2024.
Positioned as a more affordable alternative to the recently launched Vivo V40 series, the V40 Lite aims to provide a compelling value proposition for everyday users.

The device boasts a vibrant 6.78-inch AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate and 1300 nits of peak brightness.
Under the hood, it is powered by a Snapdragon 6 Gen 1 processor paired with 8GB of RAM, which can be further expanded by an additional 8GB.
The V40 Lite’s camera setup comprises a 50MP main sensor, an 8MP wide-angle lens, and a 2MP macro lens.
A distinctive feature of this model is the inclusion of a ring LED flash, enhancing low-light photography capabilities.
For selfie enthusiasts, the device offers a 32MP front-facing camera capable of recording 1080p videos.
To keep the device running, Vivo has equipped the V40 Lite with a 5500mAh battery that supports 44W wired charging.
