The Vivo V40e recently made its debut under the V40 series. While it retains a similar design to the Vivo V40 series, there are surely some differences in the material used and the camera module. The Vivo V40e comes with a plastic body which does not feel very premium and is quite slippery in hand. In terms of colour, I received the Mint Green colour which has become quite common among smartphones, however, I found the Royal Bronze colour more attractive . In terms of display and viewing experience, the Vivo V40e features a 6.77-inch 3D curved display that provides a pleasing usability and HD content viewing experience. As of now, the smartphone is quick and responsive with a 120Hz refresh rate. Everything about the smartphone is smooth. Over the past couple of days, I have watched a few YouTube videos on the devices, and I am thoroughly enjoying the crisp colours and visuals. In terms of performance, the Vivo V40e is powered by the Mediatek Dimensity 7300 processor that makes everyday tasks a breeze. During the short time of usage, I have not encountered any significant lags or stutter, and I am easily able to carry out day-to-day tasks such as scrolling through social media, messaging, watching video content, and others. However, to know more about performance, I’ll explore more of its performance areas. For photography, the Vivo V40e features a dual-camera setup that includes a 50MP main camera with Sony IMX882 and 2x portrait mode and an 8MP ultrawide camera. Although it does not have a Zeiss optics lens like its sibling, it manages to capture promising images when I test the main camera in good lighting conditions. I have yet to examine its other camera capabilities. The Vivo V40e is backed by a 5500mAh battery which provides an impressive battery life. With low to medium usage the smartphone lasts more than a day. Additionally, it comes with an 80W charger which recharges the device in about 40 to 45 minutes.
