Malaysia’s year-round summer makes water-based fun a staple of our lifestyle — whether it’s kayaking off the coast, hanging out by the pool, or bringing the whole gang to a water theme park. But if you’ve ever had to wrap your phone in a plastic pouch or stow it away in a dry bag just to avoid water damage, there’s a better way.
The vivo V50 offers a practical solution: IP68 and IP69 ratings for dust and water resistance, a robust camera setup, and a long-lasting battery in a slim, stylish design that doesn’t scream “rugged.” It’s a device made for people who want to live a little without worrying about every splash.
Built to Handle the Splashes — Without the Bulk
The vivo V50’s IP68 and IP69 ratings mean those playful splashes and accidental drops near the poolside aren’t cause for panic. It handles everyday water encounters with ease, like rainy day outings, beach trips where the surf sprays unexpectedly, or even just the condensation from a cold drink on a hot day – these are the moments the V50 is built to withstand.
A Camera Setup that Understands Portraits and Perspectives
The vivo V50 brings a ZEISS-backed all main camera setup, all sensors packing 50MP resolution — one for versatile shooting, and the other offering ultra-wide capabilities. Whether you’re capturing your friend’s mid-cannonball or shooting a wide scenic beach shot, this setup delivers.
But vivo goes a step further with smart portrait features:
- ZEISS Professional Portrait Mode: Adjust depth, focal length, and tone like a pro — great for those natural candid shots.
- AI Aura Light Portrait 2.0: Automatically adapts to lighting conditions, giving skin tones a more even, natural look, especially in tricky lighting near water surfaces.
- ZEISS Multifocal Portraits: Offers different focal lengths to simulate classic lenses — great for getting that cinematic look without editing.
Photography Tips for Better Water-Side Shots
1. Use Ultra-Wide Wisely
Perfect for capturing group shots where everyone’s standing near the splash pad — no need to ask someone to scoot closer.
2. Watch Your Light
Water reflects light strongly. Try to position your subject with the light behind you or during golden hour (early morning or late afternoon) to reduce glare.
3. Portrait Mode = Poolside Hero
Turn on portrait mode, step back slightly, and let the phone blur the chaos behind your subject. It’s how you go from snap to Insta-worthy.
Power That Keeps You Going — Even After the Pool Closes
Ever looked at your phone at 4pm after a long outing and seen that dreaded red battery icon? You’re not alone — but the V50 makes this a non-issue.
With a massive 6,000mAh BlueVolt battery, this phone powers through social media, photography, and even some light gaming without breaking a sweat. And if you do run low, 90W FlashCharge gets you back up quickly — enough to go from zero to about 50% in under 30 minutes.
Looks as Good as it Performs
Despite all the tech packed inside, the vivo V50 doesn’t feel bulky. At just 7.49mm thick, it’s vivo’s slimmest phone to house a 6,000mAh BlueVolt battery — and it comes with a 6.78-inch AMOLED Equal-Depth Quad Curved display for vibrant, immersive visuals.
Choose from three sleek finishes: Ancora Red, Mist Purple, or Satin Black.
