Vivo

Vivo, along with many other China-based original equipment manufacturers (OEMs), has been pushing the boundaries of mobile photography. In recent years, handsets such as the Vivo X200 Pro (review) and the Vivo X Fold 3 (review) have proven that you don't need an expensive professional camera to take amazing photos. A big credit for this also goes to Zeiss, whose continued partnership with Vivo has been highly fruitful for the brand. To aid its ambition of bringing exceptional mobile photography to the mid-range segment, Vivo launched the new Vivo V60 earlier this month.

After launching the Vivo V50 in India this February, Vivo followed up with the more affordable V50e in April. While both phones share a similar design language, the V50e features a smaller battery, a different chipset, and a scaled-down camera system. It still retains key features from the V50 like the quad-curved display, IP69 rating, and 90W fast charging. Compared to last year's V40e, however, the upgrades are minor. The Vivo V50e starts at Rs. 28,999 for the base variant with 8GB RAM and 128GB storage. Is it worth the upgrade? Read on to find out.

The compact flagships are finally making a comeback in 2025. Multiple brands are now eyeing this trend, while some, like Vivo, are already ahead of the curve. The company recently introduced its compact smartphone in the X200 series, known as Vivo X200 FE. The Vivo X200 FE India price starts at Rs. 54,999 for the 12GB + 256GB model, while the top-end model is priced at Rs. 59,999 with 16GB RAM and 512GB of storage.
