The phone also offers an exceptional selfie experience with its 50MP AF Selfie Camera.
In terms of design, the vivo V27 5G showcases a dynamic and elegant appearance. It is available in colour options such as Magic Blue with a colour-changing effect under UV light and Noble Black with an embossed glitter texture. The 6.78″ 3D curved screen with a 120Hz refresh rate, ultra-high brightness, and contrast adds to the visual appeal. Notably, it is the thinnest phone with a 3D curved screen in vivo’s history, measuring only 7.36mm in thickness and weighing 180g.
Under the hood, the device features a 4nm advanced processor, Dimensity 7200, which offers improved processing speed, low power consumption, and enhanced performance compared to its predecessors. Users can seamlessly switch between apps and store data with the availability of extended RAM up to 8GB.
The vivo V27 5G incorporates 66W FlashCharge technology and an advanced cooling system, allowing users to charge up to 50% in 19 minutes even with the screen off. This enables uninterrupted video playback, gaming, music streaming, and prolonged connectivity. Additionally, the device has a longer lifespan compared to the industry standard.
Similarly, the vivo V27e is a lightweight and stylish smartphone equipped with a 64MP OIS Ultra-Sensing Camera and Aura Light Portrait feature. It offers Hybrid Image Stabilization (OIS + EIS) for bright and clear videos in low-light environments. The 6nm MediaTek Helio G99 chip provides solid and energy-efficient performance. The Aura Light Portrait feature enhances night portraits, and the 64MP OIS Ultra-Sensing Camera enables longer exposures and increased light intake, resulting in stable snapshots and improved image quality in low-light conditions. The 32MP front camera ensures clear and detailed selfies, while the multi-style portrait system offers customization options for images.
The design of the vivo V27e highlights the vibrant colours of nature, with options like Lavender Purple featuring a glowing peacock feather pattern and Glory Black with a silky, glittery texture. The phone has a slender and elegant look, with a flat frame, 7.7mm thickness, and a weight of 185g.
