Privileged that vivo Philippiines allowed us to borrow the official commercial unit of one of their smartphones in the V series - vivo V30e
You can check our unboxing and first look of vivo V30e official commercial unit at the link here
As rthe last V phone that we handled is on V29, we were surprised that we had more fun on Funtouch 14 based on Android 14. One missing thing though for us is the 5G toggle in the pulldown. Snapdragon 6 Gen 1 in the mix which made the phone smoother in navigation.
We got no problem in connectivity department from calls, texts, WiFi, mobile data,, Bluetooth and GPS. Even though that it only has hybrid dual sim set-up, at least there's a micro SD slot expansion compared to those phones with only dual sim support. Sounds are excellent both on speaker and on Bluetooth
In battery life, we were surprised on how power efficient it is as we got 2-day battery life in medium heavy usage from its 5500 mAh battery. Charging it from zero to 100 percent with it's 44 watt charger, it can go for less than 90 minutes..
On camera, vivo V30e can produce more than average in image quality although there are some shots that are a bit of a miss in color accuracy
Here are our camera samples

vivo V30e price in the Philippines is Php 17999 which is a bit expensive compared to its' nearest competitor at Php 16,119 (as of Aug.16 2024 in their offical online store). Looking at the advantages., the aura light gives life to photos, better Funtouch 14 compared to V29 series, choice of processor, connectivity, camera and battery life. Only thing that is really missing is the 5G toggle in the menu
vivo V30e for us is 4.25 out of 5
