Vivo launched the Vivo S18 series smartphones in China in December 2023. The Vivo S18 series smartphones are tipped to debut under the Vivo V30 series moniker in international markets, including India. Our team at MySmartPrice has spotted the upcoming Vivo V30 smartphone in multiple certifications, including FCC, IMDA, NBTC, and TDRA. While we are still waiting for the V30 series to arrive in India, an exclusive report from 91Mobiles Hindi reveals that Vivo will skip the Vivo V31 and V33 series to make way for the Vivo V40 series.
Vivo to Jump to Vivo V40 Series
Vivo used to debut the V series smartphones with odd numbers, which include the Vivo V25, Vivo V27, and Vivo V29 series. The smartphone giant also debuted the V series smartphones with even numbers in exceptional cases, which include the Vivo V20 and the upcoming Vivo V30 series.
The report confirms that Vivo will not debut the Vivo V31, V33, and V35 series smartphones in international markets. The jump to the V40 series will be similar to Samsung shifting to the Galaxy S20 series after the debut of the Galaxy S10 series smartphones.
The report confirms that Vivo will debut the Vivo V40 series smartphones in the second half of 2024. The industry sources for the publication reveal that the upcoming V series smartphone will be unveiled at the end of August or early September in international markets, including India.
The publication does not have any access to the specifications of the upcoming V40 series smartphones. However, the report confirms that the forthcoming V40 series smartphones will sport significant differences in comparison to the V30 series smartphones.
The rumoured improvements include the addition of large camera sensors with the V40 series smartphones. Vivo might also equip the upcoming V40 series smartphones with an IP rating. The upcoming Vivo V40 Lite 5G has received IMEI certification with the model number V2337.
The IMEI listing of V40 Lite 5G smartphones hints that the smartphone might go official in the second quarter of 2024.
