Vivo V30 5G will soon be available on shelves across the country as it will be coming to the country later this month.
Vivo V30 5G will be succeeding the V29 from late last year which according to me[Full Review] ranked number one in terms of midrange and overall camera smartphone of 2023 so the V30 has really big shoes to fill.
Vivo V30 5G has a glass look for both front and back with IP54 ingress protection. It has dual microphones, dual nano-sim card slots, a bottom-facing speaker, face unlock and an under-display fingerprint reader.
Vivo V30 comes in Noble Black, Bloom White, Lush Green and Waving Aqua.
It has a 3D curved 6.78-inch AMOLED screen. This is a 10-bot display with a 120Hz refresh rate and HDR10+ support. It now sports increased brightness peaking at 2800 nits compared to the 1300 nits of the V29.
The display is protected by Schott Alpha.
The processor gets boosted from Snapdragon 778 5G to the new Snapdragon 7 Gen 3. The Vivo V30 5G was the first phone featuring this processor from Qualcomm.
It has 12GB RAM and 256GB storage. You get up to 8GB of virtual RAM too. It also has an Ultra Large Smart Cooling System to help with cooling during heavy multitasking and intense gaming sessions thanks to the large 3,002 mm2 vapor chamber.
Vivo V30 boots Android 14 and FunTouch OS 14. Its predecessor currently runs Android 14 with the January Security patch as it got the update in December last year.
In terms of software support, the V30 will get two years of major OS updates and three years of security updates. As seen with the V29 software upgrades, we expect the same timely updates as well on the V30.

Optics get improved as well as the Vivo V30 has a 50MP dual primary setup that includes a 50MP main with OIS and a 50MP ultrawide. The ultrawide lens is the same one found in the flagship Vivo X100 series. The depth camera gets ditched here.
Like the V29, the V30 has a 50MP selfie camera just like it predecessor. Video recording is capped at 4K 30fps for both the main cameras and the front camera for selfie videos.
Vivo switched the circle Aura Light for a Square one for the V30.
The Aura Light feature brightens faces when taking lowlight portrait shots. Smart Color Temperature Adjustment from the V29 will be present as well and it works by detecting the surroundings when the Aura Light is enabled which is a nice addition and the pictures are appealing.
Battery capacity gets increased from 4600mAh to 5000mAh battery with support for 80W ultrafast Type-C charging.
Vivo has yet to announce the official date and pricing but we expect a launch later this month. Stay tuned for more details.
