HUAWEI MatePad 12 X (2026) Review
vivo is hyping up its upcoming Philippine release of the vivo V40 5G. In a Facebook post, the brand shared three photo teasers of the device showing its different color options.
There’s the Nebula Purple as seen in the phone’s Europe release last June. Apparently, there will be two new colorways in green and in peach.
Since the vivo V40 5G has already been launched in Europe, we can expect the same specs and features. It sports a 6.78-inch 1.5K AMOLED display, a Snapdragon 7 Gen 3, and an IP68 rating for dust and water resistance.
Of course, it still comes with Aura Light feature accompanied by a 50-megapixel main and another 50-megapixel ultrawide sensors. This setup is the same with its predecessor, the vivo V30 5G, except the V40 now gets co-engineered by ZEISS.
