vivo V50 photographed in detail by NCC, the design is almost identical to vivo S20

A few months ago, EEC certifications emerged for several devices, including the vivo V50 (V2427) and V50e (V2428). Now another certification body, the NCC, has completed work on the V2427 and has shared images of not only the device but also its charger and even its battery.

In terms of design, the vivo V50 appears to be related to the vivo S20 launched in China in November. And since it was photographed with a ruler for scale, it appears that the device measures 160mm high and 74mm wide, which matches the dimensions of the S20 – presumably, this means the same 6.67-inch display.

Other photos show the battery (model BA77), a lithium-ion cell with a nominal capacity of 5,870 mAh (22.55 Wh) and a typical capacity of 6,000 mAh (23.04 Wh). This is where the V50 differs from the S20, which has a Si/C battery with a larger capacity of 6,500 mAh.

One thing that remains the same, though, is the charging support, at least judging by the charger that was photographed next to the phone: its best mode is 11V at 8.2A, which is equivalent to 90W. There also a USB-A to C cable to go with the charger.

Stepping outside of NCC’s expertise for a moment, there are two camera lenses visible on the back of the V50: if they’re the same as the S20, they’ll be a 50MP main (1/1.55″, OIS) one and an ultra-wide one. (106°.) And on the front there is a single punch-hole camera, which is expected to have a 50 MP sensor.

There is no official announcement date for the vivo V50 (and the V50e and other members of the series). However, the vivo V30 was presented in February 2024, the V40 in June. So, if we had to guess, we should hear about the V50 series in 2-4 weeks.
