Vivo V50 Elite vs Vivo V50: How are both mobiles different?

Vivo has recently expanded its popular camera-centric V series lineup with the Vivo V50 Elite Edition launch in India. The device is priced at Rs. 42,000 and is available in a single configuration featuring 12GB of RAM and 512GB of internal storage, and it also comes bundled with the Vivo TWS 3e buds with the package. The Elite Edition bears a strong similarity to the standard Vivo V50, which was released in February of this year. In this detailed specification comparison, we will take a look at what the V50 Elite Edition has to offer and how it differs from its predecessor, the V50, to help you make an informed decision.
The Vivo V50 Elite and Vivo V50 share a similar visual design, with a pill-shaped rear camera setup and a blend of plastic back and glass front. However, the Elite Edition includes Diamond Shield Glass, offering a different layer of screen protection. Both models are rated for IP68 and IP69 dust and water resistance, which gives better durability than the Vivo V40, which only carries an IP68 rating.

On the other hand, the Elite Edition comes in only one variant, 12GB RAM and 512GB storage, available only in Rose Red. Meanwhile, the Vivo V50 is available in multiple colour options, including Titanium Grey, Rose Red, and Starry Night.
Both smartphones are equipped with a 6.77-inch quad-curved AMOLED display. Each supports full-HD+ resolution, a refresh rate of up to 120Hz, and a peak brightness of 4,500 nits. There is no noticeable difference in display specifications or experience.

The camera setup is one of the areas where the models slightly diverge. The Vivo V50 Elite carries a Zeiss-backed dual rear camera setup, with dual 50MP sensors, one standard and one ultra-wide, plus it also carries a 50MP front camera with Aura Light for better selfies. Additionally, the device supports AI-powered photo editing and productivity tools. The Vivo V50, meanwhile, offers a triple camera system with similar Zeiss branding, including a 50MP main sensor, 50MP ultra-wide, and a 50MP front shooter. The main difference is the extra camera on the V50.

Both devices run on Qualcomm's Snapdragon 7 Gen 3 processor and use Funtouch OS 15 based on Android 15. Vivo promises three years of OS updates and four years of security support for both phones. While the Elite comes only in a 12GB+512GB configuration, the V50 is available in three options: 8GB+128GB, 8GB+256GB, and 12GB+512GB. The software interface remains consistent across both devices.
Battery life is solid on both phones, and the Vivo V50 Elite and V50 are backed by a substantial 6,000mAh battery that supports 90W wired fast charging, compared to the Vivo V40's 5500 mAh battery with support for 80W fast charging.

The Vivo V50 Elite costs Rs. 41,999 for the 12GB RAM and 512GB storage model. Meanwhile, the Vivo V50 comes in several configuration options and is priced at Rs. 34,999 for 8GB of RAM and 128GB storage, Rs. 36,999 for 8GB+256GB, and Rs. 40,999 for 12GB+ 512GB. The price difference may influence buyers looking for budget-friendly choices. The Elite Edition's single colour and configuration also narrow down options.
In short, the Vivo V50 Elite offers a fresh look and slight refinements over the Vivo V50, but both share many core features. Buyers should weigh the price difference and available options before deciding.

Gen AI in cybersecurity: Will help defenders with better counter measures; India ahead of other nations

Generative artificial intelligence, while being increasingly exploited by cyber criminals to fuel their attacks, is also empowering defenders with faster and smarter responses to online threats, according to Heather Adkins, global VP of engineering at Google Security. Adkins, who has spent more than 20 years at Google, said, generative AI will give "defenders" a "leg up" over the threat actors.' 'We will be able to leverage Gen AI to protect infrastructure in new ways that we've never thought of before and also at a speed that we've never been able to achieve before,' she said, quoted by TNN. She said that the same technology being used to plan sophisticated cyberattacks can also help strengthen defence systems. Talking about cyberattacks in India, the Google security VP pointed out that the government is "very engaged" and has been ahead of many other nations in tackling these threats. 'It's a hot topic. They've done a very good job in getting involved quickly and partnering with companies. The workforce here and education levels in India are pretty high. There are parts of the world I go where they're just now starting to think about cyber security and they're much further behind India.' Google Security now plans to set up an engineering centre in India. She further warned of the growing threat posed by state-sponsored cyberattacks, particularly as geopolitical tensions continue to rise, putting the world at risk. 'It's a question of who has more time. And, if you think about a well-funded nation state, may be they'll create a project, put 100 people on it, and they just work on that project throughout the day... So, they often know more because they have more time, not because they're smarter. I would say they're more likely to be successful.' Adkins highlighted the need to educate users alongside building tools, stating that digital instincts must be developed to spot malicious content online. 'Unlike the physical world where you have instincts and senses to identify something dangerous, the online world does not have a parallel. We have to build that,' she said. Despite the rising tempo and complexity of attacks, Adkins believed that the cybersecurity landscape is in a better place today. 'There's no doubt that we're seeing an increase in the tempo and sophistication of attacks. But today, more than ever before, enterprises have better tools.' Cybersecurity looked 'primitive' 23 years ago, while now, most solutions have security built into them, she added.
