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.

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.

Additionally, the device supports AI-powered photo editing and productivity tools.

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 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.
