Vivo V50 India Launch Timeline Leaked; Said to Run on Snapdragon 7 Gen 3 Chipset

Vivo V50 India launch could happen very soon. While a launch date is yet to be officially confirmed by the Chinese tech brand, new leaks suggest that the latest V series smartphone will go official in India next month. The Vivo V50 is said to be powered by the Snapdragon 7 Gen 3 chipset. It is tipped to carry up to 12GB RAM and a maximum of 512GB of onboard storage. It could be available in four colour options. The Vivo V50 is likely to arrive as a rebranded version of the Vivo S20.

Tipster Yogesh Brar (@heyitsyogesh) in association with SmartPrix claimed that the Vivo V50 will be launched in India in the third week of February. The report suggests a tentative launch date of February 18. The Vivo V50 Pro is said to land at a later date in the country.

It is said to be available in three RAM and storage configurations — 8GB+128GB, 8GB+256GB, and 12GB+512GB.
