Was this smartphone worthy of its reputation? Was it a great goal or a foul? Here we tell you.

Mira: High-end, mid-range, entry-level: How are mobile phones differentiated by quality?

Specification

design

First and foremost, the most striking Vivo V30 SE It’s the look of it that has more than a passing resemblance to the Samsung Galaxy A55 phone. There’s reason to follow in the footsteps of the Korean giant, as it has an elegant design with thin bezels that allow the screen to stand out.

The edges are also very nice, made of metal-look plastic, giving it the feel of a refined device. Speaking of thinness, if you are concerned about the space it takes up in your pocket, the device’s 7.99 mm thickness makes it one of the thinnest in its category. The back is covered with violet faux leather, which is pleasant to the touch and sets it apart from many of its competitors, reinforcing this feeling of distinction, although the Chinese company also offers a version with a black glass back for those who are more purist. In terms of the appearance of the smartphone.

Whatever background color you choose, this part of the phone will be adorned by a famous photographic module composed of three different lenses, as well as the flash module.

The phone has a 6.67-inch amoled screen with a resolution of 2,400 x 1,080, a maximum brightness of 1,800 nits, and a refresh rate of up to 120Hz, which is acceptable for a mid-range phone. This translates into a sharp image with vivid colors, allowing you to watch movies with a certain amount of detail. Less commendable are the speakers, which have dual stereo speakers assisted by a volume amplifier, and we saw the volume reach a thunderous 300%, but this loudness did not eliminate the slight metallic tone heard throughout the sound spectrum.

Performance

he V30 SE It has Vivo’s proprietary operating system Funtouch OS 14, which is based on Android 14 and is known for its high customizability, allowing you to change themes, modify different animations, and even add widgets almost everywhere on the screen. The operating system claims to stand out for its multitasking capabilities, seeking to innovate by including mini windows that allow two applications to run simultaneously, with one of them minimized.

This is a very convenient feature that requires some power from your smartphone to keep running smoothly. V30 SE It achieves this thanks to its Snapdragon 4 Gen 2 processor, 8-core CPU architecture and 8 GB RAM, allowing you to easily perform everyday tasks such as browsing the web, watching videos and checking email even at high speeds. Switch between multiple apps or open two of them at the same time.

he V30 SE The Ultra Game Mode was introduced, which prioritizes such programs to increase their quality and frames per second to enter the world of video games in the best possible way. However, when testing system-demanding games such as Call of Duty Mobile and Genshin Impact at medium quality, the experience was no longer so smooth, with brief slowdowns in the movement of the characters.

camera

he Vivo V30 Southeast Europe It has four cameras: a 16 MP front-facing camera with an f/2.0 aperture, and three rear cameras, with the main 50 MP and f/1.2 aperture, 8 MP wide-angle and f/2.2 aperture, and 2 MP macro camera and f/2.4 aperture. Photos taken with these cameras (including the 50 MP) were of acceptable quality, but details were lost in some landscape photos. This was most noticeable when using Night mode.

You’ll have better luck when photographing people, with the front-facing camera being particularly handy for selfies. That’s thanks to the mobile software, which has a wide range of effects, styles and filters to spice up your images. Even more surprising is the Beauty Mode, an extensive catalogue of AI-based beauty techniques that lets you perform “virtual surgery” to slim your face, change skin tone and modify facial features.

Some of these effects are so subtle that in some test photos, the annotated editor didn’t realize they were activated and thought his improved complexion might be a spontaneous beautification caused by improved health, an illusion that lasted long until he was presented with a mirror and the tyranny of truth. Jokes aside, this set of options will provide plenty of tools for those who want to achieve the perfect selfie without having to question whether it’s a worthy goal.

Video is also adequate, presenting 1080p quality at 30 FPS. Perhaps the most interesting thing about recording is the possibility of making dual-view videos, which can show the perspective of the front and rear cameras.

Battery

What you worry about in vivo Is to give your phone enough autonomy to handle everyday life. For this, they are equipped with a 5000 mAh battery that guarantees about 8 hours of continuous use with intensive use of the device. The device also has an Ultra Power Saving Mode that can further extend the power of the phone, but at the cost of limiting operations and the catalog of applications that can be used. This is complemented by FlashCharge technology, which allows the battery to be charged quickly, charging about 30% in just 15 minutes and fully charged in 75 minutes.

Is it worth it?

With a price tag of around S/.1,299, the V30 SE seems to be almost completely in the middle of the mid-range, so its performance does not stand out too much in any aspect, although it stands out among the crowd. They offer options to beautify images and a good battery that gives you autonomy in everyday work. It is a competent phone that, while not going to be the champion of the competition, at least deserves a place in the competition.
