• Premium Premium Design & Durability: Despite packing an enormous battery, the phone maintains a sleek, elegant chassis. It features a stunning watch-dial-inspired camera module on the back and carries an IP64 dust and water resistance rating, making it tough enough to handle accidental splashes or dusty environments.

• Capable 5G Performance: Powered by an efficient Snapdragon 5G processor, the device balances multi-tasking capability with excellent battery optimization. It handles daily social media apps, web browsing, and media streaming smoothly without system stutter.

• 50MP AI Camera with Smart Aura Light: For photography, it utilizes a sharp 50MP primary rear camera optimized to capture clear daylight snapshots and portraits. It is paired with Vivo’s intelligent software and portrait lighting features to deliver bright, natural-looking photos even in low-light environments.
