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.

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.

The Vivo V50 Elite Edition is launching soon with a focus on portraits and sound
Vivo has officially confirmed that a new addition to its V50 lineup — the V50 Elite Edition — is launching in India on May 15. This model will join the previously released Vivo V50 and V50e, but it's expected to stand out thanks to a stronger focus on photography and audio, based on the teaser released by the teaser doesn't list hardware specs, but it does show a circular rear camera module and prominently features Zeiss co-branding. Vivo is also hinting at "portraits that captivate" and "sound that surrounds," which suggests potential improvements to both the camera system and speakers over the standard V50. This move could be an attempt by Vivo to strengthen its position in the upper mid-range smartphone market in India, where competition is increasingly fierce. Rivals like the OnePlus 12R, Samsung Galaxy A55, and Xiaomi's 14 Civi are all fighting for attention in this segment, often using high-end camera hardware and design as differentiators. For reference, the regular Vivo V50, launched earlier this year, offered a solid package of hardware at a competitive price. If the V50 Elite Edition builds on this base with improved portrait capabilities and enhanced audio, it could appeal to users who prioritize media consumption and photography. The Zeiss partnership hints at more refined image processing or new camera features, while the audio claim might suggest stereo speakers or spatial audio tuning — something not highlighted in the standard V50. The V50 series hasn't been widely reviewed yet, but initial impressions suggest it strikes a good balance between performance and battery life, with a standout screen. The Elite Edition could elevate that experience further, though pricing will be key. Some suggests that the V50 Elite Edition could possibly be just a repackaged V50 with some extra accessories, but we won't know if that is the case until the official unveiling. That said, if Vivo can keep the pricing relatively low under control while offering a camera-centric experience, this new model might find its place among this year's better value smartphones.
