Vivo has launched its latest V-series smartphones in India. The lineup includes the Vivo V70 Elite and the Vivo V70. The new phones target premium buyers with ZEISS-branded cameras, bright OLED displays, and long-term software support. Sales begin later this month.

What’s new in the Vivo V70 series?

The Vivo V70 Elite and Vivo V70 share a similar design and core features. Both phones offer a 6.59-inch 1.5K OLED display. The panel supports a 120Hz refresh rate and delivers up to 5,000 nits peak brightness. This places the Vivo V70 series among the brightest displays in its segment.

The phones run OriginOS 6 based on Android 16. Vivo promises four generations of Android updates and six years of security patches. This is a notable move in the mid-premium category.

Which processors power Vivo V70 Elite and V70?

The Vivo V70 Elite is powered by the Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 processor. It supports up to 12GB LPDDR5X RAM and up to 512GB UFS 4.1 storage. The regular Vivo V70 uses the Snapdragon 7 Gen 4 chipset. It offers up to 12GB RAM and 256GB internal storage.

This split clearly positions the Elite model for heavier performance needs, while the standard model focuses on efficiency.

How capable are the cameras?

Camera hardware remains a key focus. Both phones feature a 50MP ZEISS-tuned main camera. The setup also includes an 8MP ultra-wide lens and a 50MP telephoto camera with 3x optical zoom. On the front, users get a 50MP selfie camera.

The identical camera system suggests Vivo is prioritizing imaging consistency across the Vivo V70 lineup.

Battery, durability, and charging details

Both the Vivo V70 Elite and Vivo V70 pack a 6,500mAh battery. Vivo includes a 90W fast charger in the box. The phones also come with IP68 and IP69 ratings for dust and water resistance, which is still rare at these price points.
