DESIGN

It’s only 6.47mm thick, which is remarkable for a phone with a 5,500mAh battery. The phone’s design is not only stunning but also functional, making it easy to handle and use. The Velvet Red unit looks beautiful and will turn heads. It’s also available in Silk Blue, which gives a premium feel, with a frosted glass texture that adds to the phone’s aesthetic appeal. The V30e’s most impressive feature is its IP64rated water and dust resistance, protecting against everyday elements like dust, dirt, and water. The phone’s slim and curved form makes it easy to hold and feels robust, giving users confidence that it won’t break easily.

PERFORMANCE

The Vivo V30e is a mid-range smartphone that boasts a Qualcomm Snapdragon 6 Gen 1 processor and 8GB of RAM. It can handle everyday tasks without lag or delay, even with multiple apps open simultaneously. While it’s not built for heavy-duty gaming, it performs well with casual games. However, more demanding games like BGMI and Call of Duty Mobile can cause the device to struggle to maintain a high frame rate. The processor also heats slightly when running heavy games, leading to thermal throttling and performance degradation. The device runs on Funtouch OS 14, based on Android 14. The UI looks neat and clean, but the preinstalled apps can be a nuisance. Despite the unwanted apps, the phone comes with useful preinstalled apps like Amazon, PhonePe, and Facebook. Additionally, Vivo offers its own V-app store, where users can download apps without signing in to an account.
