Vivo V40 5G — Flagship Looks, a 200MP Main Camera and 5G

Vivo’s V40 5G promises a head-turning blend of premium design, a very high-resolution camera system and long battery life — without the usual flagship price tag. The company lists the device at ₹13,999 (~RM665) in the announcement we’re reworking here; note that local retail prices and conversions can vary by region and time of purchase.

Design that punches above its price

First impressions matter and the V40 5G leans hard into style. A glossy back, narrow bezels and gently curved edges give it a premium silhouette — something you’d expect from much costlier phones. The ergonomics favour one-handed use, and the finish catches light in a way that makes the handset look more premium than its price suggests.

Display — smooth, vivid and watchable

The AMOLED panel with a 120Hz refresh rate delivers fluid scrolling and punchy colours, which is ideal for streaming, social feeds and games. Deep blacks and good contrast lift movies and photos, making the screen one of the V40’s more convincing highlights for daily use.

Performance — responsive for everyday life

Under the hood the Snapdragon 7 Gen 3 is a strong mid-range performer. It handles daily apps, social media, multitasking and casual gaming with ease. Vivo’s memory and background app management keep things smooth for most users upgrading from older mid-range phones.

Camera — 200MP detail and practical software

The headline is the 200MP primary sensor: it’s built for detail. Expect large images that hold up to heavy cropping, and the chipset plus Vivo’s image processing aim to make the majority of photos look ready to share straight away. Night mode, portrait features and AI scene detection round out a camera package that prioritises flexibility — and selfies are notably strong for a device in this segment.

Battery & charging — reliable for a full day

A 5,000mAh battery combined with software power optimisations means most users will see a full day of mixed use. Fast charging keeps the phone useful for travel or long sessions; quick top-ups restore meaningful runtime when you need them most.

Software & connectivity — modern and full-featured

Shipping with Funtouch OS on Android, the V40 covers modern connectivity standards: 5G, Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth 5.3. Vivo also packs in useful camera and display features that are easy to reach from the main UI — practical touches that improve the everyday experience.

Who should buy the Vivo V40 5G?

The V40 5G is a strong contender when you want:

  • High-resolution photography without flagship prices
  • A premium-looking handset for social and content creation
  • An upgrade path from older 4G phones to dependable 5G

Price note: the announcement price shown here is ₹13,999 (~RM665). Actual retail prices, regional SKUs and real-time currency conversions may differ at the point of sale, so check local stores or carrier deals for the precise final price in Malaysia (RM) or India (INR).

Frequently Asked Questions — Vivo V40 5G

1. Does the Vivo V40 5G actually have a 200MP main camera?
Yes — the V40’s main sensor is marketed as a 200MP unit designed to capture very high-resolution shots for greater cropping latitude and detail retention. Vivo pairs it with AI modes and scene optimisations for everyday shooting.
2. How long will the battery last with mixed use?
With a 5,000mAh battery and typical power management, expect a full day of mixed activity (messaging, streaming, browsing). Heavy gaming may require an evening top-up, but fast charging keeps that short.
3. Is the Snapdragon 7 Gen 3 good enough for gaming?
Yes for casual to moderate gaming. The SoC handles popular titles smoothly at balanced settings. For the most demanding esports-level performance you may want a higher-tier chipset, but the V40 balances performance and efficiency well.
4. Will the V40 support Malaysian 5G bands?
The phone supports modern 5G standards, but exact band support can vary by regional model. Check the specific SKU’s listed bands against your Malaysian carrier before purchasing.
5. How does the V40 compare to other budget 5G phones?
Its standout is the camera and the premium styling at a lower price. Some rivals may offer stronger raw gaming power, faster charging or longer software support, but few match the V40’s combo of design and high-resolution imaging at this price point.

If camera detail and a premium look are priorities, the Vivo V40 5G is a clear value proposition. For the final buying decision, compare local prices and check the exact model’s network bands and warranty options in your country.
