Global smartphone brand Vivo has launched its new smartphone, the V50 Lite, in the local market. The phone was unveiled at a grand event attended by popular star and brand ambassador Tahsan Rahman Khan. Launched on Saturday (19 April), the new handset combines an ultra-slim design with strong performance. Measuring just 7.79 mm in thickness and weighing 196 grams, the Vivo V50 Lite packs a large 6,500 mAh battery, offering long-lasting performance while ensuring style and comfort. Featuring a high-gloss metal frame and ultra-slim bezels, the smartphone’s 6.77-inch FHD 2.5D POLED display delivers a more vivid visual experience. The V50 Lite comes in two trendy colour options: Titanium Gold, inspired by desert twilight, and Phantom Black, offering a mysterious yet elegant look. With an ultra-clear sunlight display and a 120Hz Ultra Vision refresh rate, scrolling, gaming and video playback are smooth and lively. The screen also supports up to 1,800 nits of brightness and has SGS-certified low blue light protection, helping to safeguard the eyes during prolonged use. The powerful 6,500 mAh BlueVolt battery, paired with 90W FlashCharge, ensures extended battery life and super-fast charging—just a few minutes of charging can deliver hours of backup. The phone also supports reverse charging, reducing the need for a power bank. Vivo says the battery retains over 80% capacity even after five years. For durability and reliability, the device offers military-grade protection, five-star drop resistance, and reinforced shield glass capable of withstanding 20% more impact. With an IP65 rating, it is protected against water and dust. Powered by the Snapdragon 685 processor, the phone delivers smooth performance for gaming, video and everyday use.
