On Monday, vivo unveiled the V50 Lite 4G and now, just a few days later, it has also announced a 5G version of the phone. It’s mostly the same, including the huge 6,500mAh battery with fast 90W charging, but it has a newer chipset with better connectivity.

The chipset of choice is the Dimensity 6300, replacing the Snapdragon 685 on the 4G-only model. It is paired with 8/12GB of LPDDR4X RAM and 256/512GB of UFS 2.2 storage. There is no microSD slot.

Besides bringing 5G, the Dimensity chip also enables newer Bluetooth (v5.4 vs. v5.0). Unfortunately, vivo didn’t list the Wi-Fi version that is supported, but it should be Wi-Fi 5 (ac) – that’s the latest that the 6300 supports and is the same as the 4G model.
The vivo V50 Lite 5G features a 6.77” OLED display, a 120Hz panel with 1080p+ resolution and up to 1,800 nits peak brightness. There is an optical fingerprint reader underneath and a 32MP selfie camera punch-holed top center.

The rear camera brings a surprise – the main still features a 50MP sensor (Sony IMX882, 1/2.0”), but now there is also an 8MP ultra-wide. The 4G phone only has a 2MP helper next to the 50MP main. Aura Light (ring flash) is below those two.

The V50 Lite is equipped with a massive 6,500mAh battery that vivo says will be in good health (at least 80%) even after 5 years of usage. On a full charge, it should last 10.5 hours of gaming. Compared to the V40 Lite 5G, the battery has 1,000mAh more capacity and double the charge rating – 90W. 100% charge is doable in just under 53 minutes, getting to 50% takes 23 minutes.
The phone is rated IP65 – dust tight and able to resist weak water jets. It has also been drop tested and promises real-life survivability with its “four-corner air-cushion technology”.
There is no headphone jack on board, but the phone is equipped with stereo speakers.
vivo V50 Lite 5G in Titanium Gold, Phantom Black, Fantasy Purple and Silk Green
The vivo V50 Lite 5G is already available in Spain where a 12/512GB unit sells for €400. You can find it on the online store. It’s available in Titanium Gold and Phantom “Black” (we put this in quotes as it appears to be more of a deep purple). There should be a Fantasy Purple colorway (with an interesting feather-y texture) and a Silk Green (with a wavy texture).
