Iconic, durable, and versatile, the vivo V40 5G lets you create memorable content in every scenario and environment.
You can now buy the vivo V40 5G for a starting price of PHP 26,999. It’s equipped with powerful ZEISS lenses to catch moments on the fly and enable aspiring content creators to do their thing. But is that price tag reasonable? Let’s find out.
The vivo V40 5G is powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 7 Gen 3 processor. While it isn’t a very powerful CPU, it still scores over 831K AnTuTu points.
Multitasking apps shouldn’t be an issue with the 12 GB of RAM (expandable) while storing files can fit in the 256 or 512 GB onboard storage. Though, no microSD card expansion slot is available.
The real strength of the vivo V40 5G lies within the two 50 MP ZEISS lenses at the back and one 50 MP ZEISS lens at the front. These lenses mean business because they can truly capture images with accurate colors and detail.
Video recording also comes with amazing presets for convenient content creation and expressions. But the phone’s 4K video recording is a bit limited.
Situations can be rough outdoors when hazards head your way without notice. Thankfully, the vivo V40 5G has an IP68/69 rating for dust and water resistance, Schott ɑ glass, and durable to body design to resist twisting.
Is the vivo V40 5G an ideal content creation companion for PHP 27K? Yes but with considerations. If you’ve tried or witnessed ZEISS captures, this phone can provide that quality.
To give a more concrete detail, here are the strong points of this handset:
- 6.78” curved AMOLED panel
- 1260 x 2800 pixels or 1.5K resolution
- 120Hz refresh rate

If you have a higher budget, you should check the HONOR 200 Pro, powered by the better Snapdragon 8s Gen 3, 12 GB RAM, 512 GB ROM, and comes with similar display specs. Its ace in the camera department is the 50 MP telephoto sensor. This is also great for content creation.
If you’re looking for more raw performance and decent cameras, check the POCO F6 Pro, powered by the former flagship Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chipset, up to 16 GB RAM, up to 1 TB ROM, and 2K display. It’s particularly designed to handle demanding operations.
