vivo V50 Lite brings tough competition to mid-range market with excellent power and portability

The newest smartphone offering from vivo may have ‘lite’ in its name, but don’t underestimate its capabilities. Featuring a long-lasting battery, heavy-duty build, pro-level cameras, and more, the vivo V50 Lite packs a punch in terms of power and performance—especially if a competent mid-range smartphone for on-the-go use is what you’re looking for. 

Here’s a first look at the superb features that make the vivo V50 Lite a top (and tough) phone for everyday use.

Tough build, slim design

When it comes to durability, the vivo V50 Lite does not disappoint with its IP65 dust and water resistance and military-grade drop protection that shields it from various possible damages you may face every day—from accidental coffee spills to unexpected tumbles. 

Together with a comprehensive cushioning structure and toughened shield glass, this SGS Five-Star Drop Resistance-certified smartphone has proven to be impact-ready after enduring rigorous multi-angle drop tests, height resistance, 600 times sitting pressure tests, and more. It can even power through high and low temperature environments ranging from -20°C to 50°C.

Aside from its durable build, the vivo V50 Lite delivers long-lasting use with its massive 6,500 mAh BlueVolt battery. Built with advanced sealing and energy density innovations to keep the power flowing, it can run for up to 27.4 hours of YouTube streaming or 10.5 hours of gaming on a single charge—perfect for non-stop streaming, playing, and enjoying your day.

The vivo V50 Lite is also capable of reverse charging, although this feature is limited to devices with a Type C interface only. If you need to juice up your battery ASAP, the V50 Lite’s 90W FlashCharge also has you covered with only up to 52.5 minutes needed to get your phone on a full charge.

Despite these tough protection features and a massive battery, the vivo V50 Lite is exactly what its name implies—compact and portable. Its 7.79 mm ultra-slim build lets it comfortably fit in your hand or pocket, while its weight of 197g is still quite light considering its battery. 

Its 6.77” display also sticks to the slim design with its ultra-narrow bezels and a 94.2% screen-to-body ratio—qualities that also help deliver a better immersive viewing experience. Combine these with 120 Hz Ultra Vision AMOLED and SGS-certified eye comfort technology, and every viewing session, whether for streaming or gaming, becomes a smooth visual feast.

Comfort isn’t the only benefit of the V50 Lite’s compact design, though—because it also adds to its refined and stylish look that captures attention. Featuring a high-gloss metal frame that radiates sophistication, vivo’s newest phone comes in three vibrant colorways: Titanium Gold, Fantasy Purple, and Phantom Black.

Jam-packed features, light on the budget

Another thing to love about the V50 Lite is its versatile dual rear camera system, which brings you a 50MP Sony IMX882 main camera and an 8MP wide-angle camera for crisp and vibrant snapshots. It also features a trademark vivo camera fan fave: the Aura Light, a built-in ring light system that intelligently detects low ambient light and adds brightness to capture clear photos even at night.

Post-processing your snapshots also gets easier with the V50 Lite’s AI Image Studio, which features AI Erase 2.0 to remove unwanted objects and AI Photo Enhance to improve your images’ detail, color depth, and clarity without any hassle.

This new vivo phone’s AI capabilities aren’t just limited to its camera, though. To help improve your efficiency, the V50 Lite is equipped with AI Circle to Search, AI Live Text, AI Screen Translation, and AI SuperLink for everyday use. These features elevate the V50 Lite’s performance, which is already smooth and capable of handling multi-tasking thanks to its MediaTek Dimensity 6300 chipset. From intense gaming sessions to high-speed downloads, this chipset on the V50 Lite has you covered with its reliable CPU and GPU performance.

Despite these jam-packed features and superb performance—headlined by a durable build and reliable battery power that does the heavy lifting, the vivo V50 Lite is available for as low as PHP13,999. That’s considerably light on the budget, especially among the mid-range market and given the range of efficient everyday features it offers.

• Php1,000.00 discount
