The Vivo V70 is here – not in rumors and leaks, but as official as it gets. Once again, we're getting Zeiss cameras on board. If I have to summarize the Vivo V70 in a word, I'd say it's a phone that's not meant to break the bank but still aims to bring you fun moments (and then some).

Here it is in a nutshell:

• 6.59-inch OLED display
• A dedicated Super Telephoto Camera
• 6,500 mAh battery with 90W wired charging speeds
• OriginOS 6 and a number of AI tools

Camera goodness above all

While some mid-rangers – because that's essentially what this phone is – strive to bring you the largest display, or the largest battery, or the lowest price, the Vivo V70 bets it all on the camera setup.

Its imaging system is once again co-developed with the legendary Zeiss, as Vivo continues its successful partnership with the German company.

The main camera uses a large 50 MP 1/1.56-inch sensor with optical image stabilization; then, there's the 50 MP selfie with autofocus (this is impressive, as many phones pack far lower resolution selfie sensors!) and an 8 MP ultra-wide camera. The ultra-wide doesn't sound too inspiring, since I've seen too many 8 MP cameras fail miserably with smeared details and horrible dynamic range results. However, I'll wait to see some real-world examples.

The best thing about the Vivo V70 is its Super Telephoto Camera – the dedicated zoom snapper uses a 1/1.95-inch "ultra-sensing" sensor and a periscope lens. This, Vivo argues, should deliver sharper low-light pictures and will enable higher zoom levels without adding bulk.

Thanks to AI algorithms, the dedicated zoom camera can deliver "crisp stage photos" at 10x. If you're a fan of portraits, the telephoto camera offers some cool 85 mm portrait modes with various bokeh styles.

There are a bunch of AI editing tools, too, like AI Magic Weather, which can transform cloudy skies into sun glow.

Display, design and colors

Aerospace‑grade aluminum alloy frame: that's what the Vivo V70 is made out of. It has "near‑perfect" rounded corners and a flat display with ultra‑thin bezels (1.25mm) for a truly premium look.

If you dislike massive and obtrusive camera islands, the Vivo V70 might be the one for you, as its metallic camera module keeps it low-profile.

The back panel is presented as being fingerprint- and scratch-resistant.



These are the colors to choose from:

• Alpine Gray
• Sandalwood Brown
• Canary Yellow
• Authentic Black
• Sunset Glow (pictured above; it has flowing highlights that appear and fade)

The 6.59-inch Ultra Clear OLED display has a 1.5K resolution, a 120Hz refresh rate and a rather high 459 PPI (pixel density) for realistic and smooth viewing. There's a 3D ultrasonic fingerprint sensor which should work even with wet fingers. That's a big "small" plus in my book, folks!

Users can expect IP68 and IP69 dust and water resistance ratings and the V70 could withstand drops from up to 1.8 meters.

Hardware and software

It doesn't matter whether you're a casual gamer or a fan of video and photo editing – the LPDDR5X type of RAM and UFS 4.1 storage should make handling apps and tasks seamless. Although Vivo doesn't say a thing about the RAM or storage options, there's the Snapdragon 7 Gen 4 chipset on board. There's a 4,200 mm² ultra‑large vapor chamber, "the largest ever in the V Series", Vivo says. So, thermal management should be great.

The 6,500 mAh battery should last you at least a full day of use, but the best thing about it is that it supports 90W wired charging speeds. This is so practical: if you're rushing, you can literally get 30-40% of battery in some minutes time.

The Vivo V70 will come with OriginOS 6, which introduces Origin Island. That's a dynamic capsule at the upper end of the display. The Origin Island shows information to boost your workflow.

Of course, there are numerous AI tools, like AI Search, AI Creation (for writing tasks), AI Captions (real‑time transcription, translation and summaries) and Gemini Assistant provides personalized, real-time assistance via natural chat.

Users can enjoy four generations of OS upgrades and six years of security updates. If you're privacy-oriented, you should know that the Vivo V70 has Private Space. That's a fully isolated, personal environment for storing important or confidential information and apps.

Price and availability

So far, Vivo hasn't made the Vivo V70 price official; as far as availability goes, the phone should be up for grabs starting today in markets across Southeast Asia, Middle East and Europe. The US isn't mentioned, but Vivo says the V70 could be available in "other markets", so don't be surprised if it pops up near you.
