Vivo’s new V70 and V70 Elite pack flagship‑grade specs into a price that feels mid‑range, offering a 6.8‑inch near‑borderless AMOLED, a massive 6500 mAh battery, ZEISS‑tuned night telephoto lenses, and the latest Snapdragon processors. You’ll get IP69 water‑dust protection and up to six years of security updates, making these phones a compelling choice for power users in India.
Design and Display Highlights
Borderless Screen
The V70 series features a 0.125 cm bezel, the thinnest you’ll find on a 6.8‑inch AMOLED panel. This gives the display an almost edge‑to‑edge feel while keeping the glass tough enough for daily wear.
Durable Build
Both models carry an IP69 rating, meaning they’re dust‑tight and can survive high‑pressure water jets. The sturdy frame pairs well with the large battery, so you won’t have to worry about accidental splashes.
Battery and Charging Power
A 6500 mAh cell powers each phone, promising more than a full day of heavy use. Charging speeds differ between the two variants:
- V70 Elite: 90 W fast charging, reaching 100 % in under an hour.
- V70: 66 W fast charging, still quick enough for a top‑up during a short break.
Camera System with ZEISS Optics
Both phones share a 50 MP ZEISS‑tuned Night Telephoto lens, delivering clearer low‑light shots and sharper zoom. The partnership with ZEISS isn’t new for Vivo, but the “Night Telephoto” branding signals a real focus on night‑time photography—a feature many Indian users have been craving.
Performance and Software Support
Under the hood, the V70 Elite runs Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 (branded “8s Gen 3”), while the standard V70 uses Snapdragon 8 Gen 2. Both chips support 5G, AI‑enhanced imaging, and smooth gaming performance.
- Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 (V70 Elite)
- Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 (V70)
- AI imaging, advanced GPU, and Tensor cores for AR experiences
- Six years of security updates, positioning the phones as long‑term investments
Pricing and Market Impact
Vivo aims to shake up India’s premium mid‑range segment, where OnePlus, Realme, and Xiaomi compete under ₹30,000. Rumors suggest the V70 Elite will sit around ₹34,999 and the V70 near ₹29,999, offering flagship‑grade hardware at a more accessible price point.
What Buyers Should Consider
The massive battery adds weight, so you might find the phones a bit bulkier for pocket‑carry. Still, the combination of a near‑borderless display, ZEISS optics, and long‑term software support makes them strong contenders if you value camera quality and endurance over slimness.
If you’ve been waiting for a phone that blends a huge battery, a sleek screen, and premium camera performance without breaking the bank, the Vivo V70 and V70 Elite could be exactly what you need.
