The Vivo V40 Lite is not a mile different from its sister phones, it embodies a fusion of aesthetic brilliance and cutting-edge innovation in its design. According to the company, the V40 Lite is poised to become a symbol of style and a powerhouse of technology. Combining a chic design with groundbreaking AI camera features, it transcends the ordinary smartphone experience.

“Vivo V series has always been a trendsetter in the smartphone industry, serving as the perfect companion for our users around the clock,” said James Irungu, Brand and Communications manager at Vivo Kenya in a press statement. “We are eagerly anticipating the market’s response to the upcoming vivo V40 Lite.” He added, “At the core of our product design is a steadfast focus on user needs. We strive to make premium materials and cutting-edge innovations accessible to everyone.”

The Vivo V40 Lite is set to captivate the market with its fashionable sleek design, powerful performance, and advanced camera capabilities.

The V40 Lite will come with an AMOLED Display with a refresh rate of 120Hz, under the hood; a Snapdragon 685 Processor, Android 14 OS, 8GB RAM (which can be expanded to 16GB), 256GB onboard storage, and 5,000mAh battery support 80W fast-charge.

Despite its ultra-slim profile, vivo V40 Lite offers unparalleled durability, ensuring robustness for its users. The device boasts an IP64 Dust and Water Resistance, providing reliable protection against dust intrusion and accidental splashes. It also incorporates Wet-hand Touch Technology, ensuring that the phone remains responsive even when users interact with it while their hands are wet.

As the newest member of the vivo V series family, V40 Lite is poised to elevate photography to new heights. Armed with a 50 MP Main Camera, a 2MP Bokeh Camera, and the iconic AI Aura Light, the V40 Lite will be capable of crafting high-quality portraits with ease. The AI Aura Light Portrait feature is expected to help users capture stunning portraits in nighttime settings. The device incorporates a suite of AI-powered photography features, such as AI Erase for effortlessly removing unwanted elements and AI Photo Enhancement for boosting image clarity.

The rear camera setup and AI Aura Light are exquisitely crafted in a Cushion-Cut Diamond Camera Shape module, merging the softness of rounded edges with the precision of sharp geometric lines. This innovative design marks a bold step away from the V series’ signature rounded design, achieving a harmonious blend of modern innovation and enduring elegance. It promises to provide users with a revitalizing, premium visual experience.

The Vivo V40 Lite will be available in two colors; Titanium Silver and Emerald Green. It will be priced at around KSH30,000.
