In addition, the 50 MP AF Ultra Wide-Angle Camera features Auto Focus and 119° wide angle, allowing users to effortlessly capture expansive landscapes or special group photo moments without missing a beat. It's V series' first 50 MP Ultra Wide-Angle Camera equipped with Auto Focus and boasts 6.25 times the pixel count of the more common 8 MP wide-angle camera. What's more, the camera also features AI Group Portrait for group photos, ensuring the clarity of up to 30 people in the portrait. V30 also comes with VCS True Colour Main Camera, the vivo-exclusive Camera-Bionic Spectrum (VCS) technology enables the camera's vision to be closer to that of the human eye. This improves image clarity by 25% and colour reproduction by 15% compared to the previous generation.

Beyond its impressive photography prowess, the unique exterior design of vivo V30 underscores vivo's dedication to harmonising style and innovation. With a comfortable 3D Curved Screen design for improved grip, V30 is easy to hold for extended periods of time. It also features a 1.5K Ultra Clear Sunlight AMOLED Display and a 120 Hz refresh rate, which ensures peak smoothness. With a peak local brightness of 2800 nits and a maximum overall brightness of 1200 nits, it offers ultimate viewing experience, even under the brightest sunlight. To incorporate a large-capacity 5000 mAh (TYP) battery into the slim frame, the 7.45 mm V30 employs an industry-leading One-Piece Encapsulation Technique, which involves reconfiguring the battery casing to make it thinner.

V30 debuts new Color, Material, and Finish (CMF) innovations that are inspired by nature. The V30 comes in Peacock Green and a classic Noble Black shade made with Fluorite AG Glass.

Coupled with the enhanced Extended RAM technology and Qualcomm Snapdragon^® 7 Gen 3, V30 delivers smooth and uninterrupted performance for an exceptional multitasking experience. In terms of battery technology, the 5000 mAh (TYP) battery can be fully charged in just 48 minutes, owing to the 80W FlashCharge. For daily use, V30 has doubled its battery lifespan. Even after 1600 charge-discharge cycles, the battery capacity remains above 80%, maintaining a battery lifespan of four years.

vivo V30 is a best-in-class flagship that truly combines innovation with elegance, showcasing an ultra-slim profile, a range of stunning colors and cutting-edge features. It is truly a visual delight that captivates at first glance.
