Vivo has established a name for itself here in Kenya, being a mid-range focused smartphone and has now announced its latest flagship—the vivo V40. This latest flagship is designed to push mobile portrait photography to a whole new level. With the professional portrait system co-engineered with ZEISS, the V40 empowers users to capture breathtaking portraits and cinematic videos with unparalleled clarity. Sleek and light in design, with a robust 5500 mAh battery, it is also the slimmest device vivo has ever produced, complete with a high-end 3D Curved Screen boasting an impressive 120 Hz refresh rate.

Revolutionize Portrait Photography with ZEISS

Right at the heart of the V40 is its professional portrait system, developed in partnership with ZEISS. Whether you're a photography enthusiast or simply love capturing portraits, the V40 provides tools that transform ordinary shots into cinematic masterpieces. The ZEISS Focus Transition feature enhances the video experience, smoothly transitioning focus while keeping the subject sharp, just like in professional movies. Additionally, the 2:39:1 aspect ratio creates a cinematic feel, complemented by the ZEISS Cinematic Video Bokeh with its distinct oval shape.

On the hardware side, the V40 is equipped with a 50 MP ZEISS OIS Main Camera, based on a 1/1.56-inch Samsung ISOCELL GNJ Sensor. Paired with an F/1.88 aperture, this setup helps capture sharp, clear portraits even in low light. The Optical Image Stabilization (OIS) further reduces blur, ensuring that your photos are always bright and crisp.

Unmatched Creativity for Photography Lovers

The V40’s excellence extends beyond its hardware. AI-enhanced features such as the ZEISS Style Bokeh deliver professional-grade portraits, while the AI Aura Light Portrait significantly improves low-light photography by simulating studio lighting conditions. Additionally, AI 3D Studio Lighting adds precision and natural light to images, making it ideal for indoor and backlit settings.

Sleek Design, Stunning Display

Vivo V40 has balanced aesthetic and functional features. It is just 7.58 mm thick-the thinnest ever smartphone from vivo to pack in a big 5500 mAh battery. The 3D Curved Screen of V40 carries a 120 Hz refresh rate for seamless visuals, while the 4500 nits peak brightness allows the screen to be clear and vibrant even in strong sunlight. That's a 60.7% improvement over previous models. Adding a ring of luxury to the mobile phone's overall look, the Gemini Ring Design adds a luxurious touch to the rear camera module. It will be a class apart in performance and equally distinctive in design.

It comes in two colors: Moonlight White - a soft blend of blue and white along with anti-fingerprint coating-and Stellar Silver with enhanced scratch and fingerprint resistance due to AG technology-make it combine elegance and durability powerfully.

Powerful Performance and Long-Lasting Battery

Under the hood, the vivo V40 features the Qualcomm Snapdragon® 7 Gen 3 Mobile Platform, ensuring seamless, fast performance. Besides, it has support for 12GB RAM with an additional 12GB Extended RAM to offer seamless multitasking and quick app switching. Meanwhile, the 5500 mAh BlueVolt battery is paired with 80W FlashCharge to make sure users can stay connected longer but quickly recharge when needed.

Another strong suit of the V40 is the durability-IP68 and IP69 ratings against dust and water, respectively, make the device pretty resilient in harsh environments.

With a more deft camera, fashionable looks, and robust performance, the vivo V40 keeps going into the lists of top choices for a mobile user who wants more than just a smartphone.
