Hey Vivoicers,

Today i'm Sharing My 8 Months experience About Vivo V30.

I have been using the V30 (8GB RAM + 128GB) for 8 momths and here are my thoughts on Vivo's midrange premium Android phone.

Design, build quality and display


It flaunts a sleek design language with a curved screen that cascades up to almost the mid-rim of the frame on both the left and right sides.

On the back, Vivo V30 features a rectangular camera module vertically aligned with a unique square-shaped aura LED flash set-up.

device is super slim and so easy to carry around. Thanks to ergonomic design, it offers a good grip for the fingers to hold onto the device. It measures just 7.45mm in thickness and weighs 186g.

my unit is the Peacock Green variant. The company has incorporated Fluorite AG (Anti-Glare) Glass on the rear side. It is silky smooth and shines bright when sunlight hits the back panel.

The new gorgeous Vivo phone is capable of changing colours under direct sunlight. It turns from dark emerald green to dark ocean blue within a few seconds.

the device comes with an IP54 rating, meaning it can survive water splashes.

And, Vivo offers a free soft transparent silicone cover case with the retail box.

Display

Vivo V30 features a 6.78-inch full HD+ (2800×1260p) AMOLED screen with 20:9 aspect ratio screen. It supports HDR10+ and 120Hz refresh rate.

The company has used really good quality AMOLED panel. It supports peak brightness up to 2,800nits. It excels in delivering a good viewing experience.

When playing a motion picture, it reproduces near-natural colours of the objects bright and vibrant in the scene. When watching nature documentaries, one can notice how good the display is.

The display is very responsive to the touch input and thanks to the high refresh rate, it delivers a smooth browsing experience.

Performance

It is powered by 4nm class Qualcomm Snapdragon 7 Gen 3 octa-core with Adreno 720 GPU, 8GB / 12GB LPDDR4X RAM and 128GB / 256GB UFS 2.2 storage.

During the entire 8 months of time period, Vivo V30 worked smoothly without any pressing issues to complain about. It can handle everything, not just day-to-day tasks such as switching between apps, operating camera, streaming videos from OTT apps and playing graphics-rich Asphalt 9: Legends.

And, the phone doesn't overheat as such. It may get slightly warm while recording 4K videos, but not overwhelming enough to complain about.

Switching between the apps is also smoother and the user can resume exactly where they left off before moving to another app.

It runs Android 14-based Funtouch OS 14. It has a few third-party apps such as AmazonNetflixSnapchat and all the core Google apps.

Battery 🔋 

It comes with a 5,000mAh battery. Under normal usage, it consistently delivered more than a day of battery life. Even with extreme usage with three hours of video playback (offline), a session of gaming and a couple of scrolling on social media platforms, the device still had more than 25 per cent at the end of the night before I retired to bed.

the company is providing a free 80W fast charger with the retail box. The device can get fully charged from zero to 100 per cent under 50 minutes.

Camera

vivo v30 feature-rich dual-camera module--50MP(with 1/1.49-inch sensor, f/1.88 aperture, OIS: Optical Image stabilisation) + 50MP ultra-wide sensor (f/2.0, 119-degree field-of-view) + 2MP portrait camera (with f/2.4) with aura LED flash.

The highlight feature of Vivo V30 is the portrait mode. It does an amazing job of keeping a sharp focus on the subject and naturally creating a bokeh blur effect in the background.

It can record 4K videos up to 30 fps (frames per second). The video quality is good and on par with rival branded phones under Rs 40, 000 price range.

On the front side, it houses a fantastic 50MP autofocus camera with f/2.0 aperture and dual soft LED flash. It does an amazing job of smoothening the skin. Even if you have acne scars, it can clear them instantly and make them photogenic.

overall vivo v30 has very good camera setup.


Final thoughts

Vivo V30 is a reliable mid-range phone.

the device continues to stand apart in terms of design language with a magical colour transformation effect.

Performance-wise, it works smoothly without any pressing issues to complain about. It delivers good on long battery life.

And, concerning the photography, it does an amazing job. The photo quality is top-notch. It can give premium phones (in Rs 50,000 price range), a run for their money.

With good built quality and protective features such as customised aluminium alloy in the frame, IP54 rating, display shield and free cover case, the company has ensured the device serves the customer for several years.

This was my experience and review about the device and during my usage, Vivo V30 performed quite well, so I am quite happy with this device according to the price point.
