Vivo has debuted the V70 series in India. The company has launched two phones – the V70 and the V70 Elite. Both phones come with Zeiss-branded cameras and a premium design. The phones target the midrange segment, for users who want a good camera experience in a decent overall package.
The V70 series comes just a few months after the Vivo V60. The V60 was launched in August last year, with the V60e coming in October.
Let’s delve in to see what Vivo has in store with its latest V-series devices.
Vivo V70 series design
In terms of design, the V70 and the V70 Elite are identical. You get a new square-ish camera module on the back, instead of the vertical pill-shaped design we had on the V60. The camera module comes with a metallic-finish, and you get prominent Zeiss branding. The Aura Light is also placed here.
Though, the camera arrangement may remind you of certain other phones.
The V70 series gets a flat aerospace grade aluminium frame. The back is made of glass and comes with a matte finish. Both devices measure under 7.6mm in thickness.
The V70 and V70 Elite come with IP68 and IP69 ratings for dust and water resistance.
Vivo V70 series cameras and display
Both phones come with the same camera setup. You get a triple camera setup on the rear – a 50-megapixel main sensor, 50-megapixel Sony IMX882 telephoto with 3x telephoto zoom, and an 8-megapixel ultrawide. On the front, the Vivo V70 series packs a 50-megapixel main sensor. All cameras get Zeiss branding.
According to Vivo, you can take videos up to 4K at 60fps with the V70 series. You also get AI filters for images directly in the camera app.
The Vivo V70 and V70 Elite come with a 6.59-inch AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate. The resolution of the panel is 1.5K. Vivo claims that both devices get the slimmest bezels in their segments, at 0.125cm.
Both devices have a peak brightness of 5,000nits. There is also an ultrasonic fingerprint scanner.

Performance is where both phones differ. The Vivo V70 Elite uses Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 SoC, while the vanilla V70 uses the Snapdragon 7 Gen 4. Both devices get LPDDR5X RAM and UFS 4.1 storage.
The V70 Elite also gets an X-axis linear motor for better haptics and feedback during gaming.
