The newly launched handset arrives with a notable value addition — the Vivo TWS 3e earphones included in the box — and is available in a single configuration featuring 12GB of RAM and 512GB of internal storage.
The Elite Edition bears strong resemblance to the standard Vivo V50 that debuted earlier in February. However, it brings with it a fresh Rose Red finish and slightly refined features aimed at premium users.
Under the hood, the Vivo V50 Elite Edition is powered by Qualcomm's Snapdragon 7 Gen 3 processor and runs on FuntouchOS 15 based on Android 15. Vivo has confirmed that the device will receive three years of operating system upgrades and four years of security patches.
It sports a 6.77-inch quad-curved AMOLED display with full-HD+ resolution, up to 120Hz refresh rate, and peak local brightness of 4,500 nits. Designed for immersive visuals and fluid scrolling, the display is one of the highlights of the device.
On the camera front, the handset features a dual rear camera setup developed in collaboration with Zeiss. It includes a 50MP primary sensor with optical image stabilisation (OIS) and a 50MP ultra-wide lens. Selfie enthusiasts can rely on the 50MP front-facing camera, complemented by an Aura Light feature and AI-assisted photo editing tools.
The device is backed by a substantial 6,000mAh battery that supports 90W wired fast charging. Connectivity options include dual 5G, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 5.4, GPS, OTG, and USB Type-C (USB 3.2). The phone also comes with an in-display fingerprint scanner and boasts IP68 and IP69 ratings for dust and water resistance. It measures 163.29 x 76.72 x 7.57 mm and weighs 199 grams.
The Vivo V50 Elite Edition is priced at ₹ 41,999 for the 12GB + 512GB variant. It is currently available for purchase through Amazon, Flipkart, and select offline retail outlets. Customers purchasing the device online can avail themselves of up to ₹ 3,000 instant cashback via HDFC, SBI, and Axis Bank cards, or opt for an exchange bonus of the same value. Additionally, no-cost EMI options are offered for up to six months.
Offline buyers can also access a ₹ 3,000 instant discount through cards from banks including SBI, Kotak, HSBC, Yes Bank, and others. They are also eligible for Vivo's V-upgrade programme, which provides a ₹ 3,000 exchange bonus.
For comparison, the standard Vivo V50 is priced at ₹ 40,999 for the same 12GB + 512GB configuration, with lower-tier options starting at ₹ 34,999.

Vivo X Fold 5 India launch leaked, may launch soon after Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7

Vivo is launching its new generation foldable smartphone, the Vivo X Fold 5, in the global market. The smartphone is making its China debut on June 25 and is expected to launch in India in July. The Vivo X Fold 5 was also spotted on the BIS platform, hinting towards an imminent India launch. As we get closer to the launch timeline, a new report has come forward revealing the India launch timeline for the new Vivo foldable. Additionally, it might come as a surprise to many that the Vivo X Fold 5 could launch soon after the global launch of the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7. Therefore, it will be a clash of two strong competitors in the foldable smartphone market. According to a 91Mobiles report, the Vivo X Fold 5 could launch between July 10 and July 15 in India. However, the official launch date is still awaited. This launch timeline is very close to the Samsung Galaxy Unpacked event, which is expected to take place on July 9. Therefore, in the same month, we will get two flagship book-style foldables, enabling buyers to have wider options. Alongside the India launch timeline, the Vivo X Fold 5 is expected to come with a thin and lightweight design. Therefore, the smartphone's slimness will be compared with the upcoming Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 and the Honor Magic V5. In terms of numbers, the Vivo X Fold 5 could measure 11.2mm when folded and 5.2mm when unfolded. Despite having a slim build, the X Fold 5 is rumoured to be backed by a 6000mAh battery that may come with 80W wired and 40W wireless charging support.
