Vivo V30e

The Vivo V30e has a conventional, non-folding form factor measuring 164.4 mm tall, 74.8 mm wide, and just 7.7 mm thick, with a total weight of 179 g that keeps it relatively light in hand. It carries an IP64 rating, meaning it offers solid protection against dust ingress and resistance to water splashes, though it does not feature a rugged build intended for harsh environments.

The Vivo V30e features a 6.78″ OLED/AMOLED touchscreen with a 1080 x 2400 px resolution and a pixel density of 388 ppi, delivering sharp and vibrant visuals across its large panel. It supports a 120Hz refresh rate for smoother on-screen motion, along with an Always-On Display that keeps basic information visible without fully waking the screen. The display does not include branded damage-resistant glass, nor does it support HDR10, HDR10+, or Dolby Vision, and there is no secondary screen.

The Vivo V30e is powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 6 Gen 1 chipset, built on a 4 nm process with an octa-core CPU running at up to 2.2 GHz across four cores and 1.8 GHz across the remaining four, using big.LITTLE architecture with HMP for efficient workload distribution. It comes with 12 GB of DDR5 RAM at 2750 MHz and 256 GB of internal storage via eMMC 5.1, supported by a maximum memory bandwidth of 22 GB/s across two memory channels, with L1, L2, and L3 caches of 256 KB, 2 MB, and 2 MB respectively. Graphics are handled by the integrated Adreno 710 GPU clocked at 800 MHz, with 128 shading units, DirectX 12, OpenGL ES 3.2, and OpenCL 2 support, while benchmark results include an AnTuTu score of 575,000, Geekbench 6 single and multi-core scores of 943 and 2,748, a PCMark Work 3.0 performance score of 9,820 with a battery endurance result of 1,222 minutes, and a 3DMark Steel Nomad score of 199. The chipset also integrates LTE, supports 64-bit processing, ARM TrustZone security, and operates within a 7W TDP.

The Vivo V30e sports a dual-lens rear camera system combining a 50 MP primary sensor at f/1.8 with a 2 MP secondary lens at f/2.2, both using CMOS technology, with optical image stabilization helping to reduce blur during handheld shooting. Autofocus options include phase-detection and touch autofocus with continuous autofocus during video, though laser autofocus is not present, and there is a single LED flash without dual-tone or RGB capability. The main camera records video at up to 2160p at 30 fps with slow-motion support, while HDR10 and Dolby Vision recording are not available; manual controls extend to exposure, ISO, focus, and white balance, with burst mode, panorama, and timelapse rounding out the feature set, though manual shutter speed and RAW capture are absent. On the front, a 50 MP single-lens camera sits at f/2.5 in a standard punch-hole position — not under the display — and lacks a front-facing flash, with HDR mode available but no dual-lens setup on that side.

The Vivo V30e runs Android 14 and brings a broad set of software features to the table, including dark mode, dynamic theming, theme customization, widgets, split-screen multitasking, Picture-in-Picture, full-page screenshots, a media picker, and the ability to play games while they download. Privacy controls cover clipboard warnings, location options, and camera and microphone access management, along with the ability to block app tracking, though cross-site tracking protection and Mail Privacy Protection are not included. On-device machine learning, offline voice recognition, and voice commands are all supported, and the system accommodates multiple user accounts, a child lock, customizable notifications, sharing intents, phone tracking, battery health checks, an extra dim mode, and Live Text for selecting text in images. Wi-Fi password sharing, focus modes, app offloading, Quick Start, and the ability to function as a PC are absent, and OS updates do not come directly from the platform vendor.

The Vivo V30e houses a 5500 mAh rechargeable battery with a battery level indicator, and it supports 44W fast wired charging with a charger included in the box. The battery is not removable and wireless charging is not supported.

The Vivo V30e has a notably limited audio feature set — it lacks a 3.5 mm headphone jack and stereo speakers, and none of the advanced Bluetooth audio codecs are supported, including aptX, aptX HD, aptX Adaptive, aptX Lossless, and LDAC. There is also no built-in radio receiver.

The Vivo V30e supports 5G connectivity alongside a dual-SIM setup, Wi-Fi 4 and Wi-Fi 5, and Bluetooth 5.1, with maximum download and upload speeds of 2,900 Mbits/s and 900 Mbits/s respectively. It uses a USB Type-C port running USB 2.0, includes an external memory slot for storage expansion, and features a fingerprint scanner for biometric authentication, though NFC, 3D facial recognition, and an iris scanner are all absent. On the sensor side, the device is equipped with a gyroscope, accelerometer, compass, and GPS with Galileo support, while a barometer, infrared sensor, heart rate monitor, and ANT+ support are not included. Additional features such as HDMI output, a built-in projector, motion tracking, optical tracking, crash detection, emergency SOS via satellite, DLNA certification, and a stylus are likewise not part of the package.

The Vivo V30e features a curved display and includes a video light for use during video recording. It does not have a sapphire glass display or an e-paper screen.
