Here’s my feedback for anyone considering buying this phone. I've been using the Vivo V30 since its release, and I have no regrets.
While the audio setup isn't dual stereo, it doesn't bother me because I mostly use earbuds these days, allowing me to enjoy podcasts, audiobooks, and music while multitasking. The front and back cameras are pretty decent as well.
I also play games on this phone—COD, ML, and Genshin. It does heat up a bit when playing Genshin, but that’s expected with graphics-heavy games. The battery life is still going strong, and I find it super reliable. I also love the design—it’s sleek and has a premium feel.

Ultimately, the best phone for you depends on your needs and style,

but for me, the Vivo V30 is totally worth it!

If only this phone has good stereo speakers, then it would be a no-brainer midrange with complete features. The V30 is so close to being the perfect midranger 🥲

This phone is great. I have tried the display ones I've seen in stores. I'm still using the V25.

GSMArena is always the BEST.Thanks for share

Appreciate your work. Love from Pakistan 🇵🇰

What's with the company over exaggerating the camera bumps!!? That black square is good enough and more stylish than those cringe designs

[ELPCOTILLION-SD]

That 6.7 Inch Absolutely Splendid Bezeless Display Alone~Has My Interest...Amongst Other Features...

[spinkick]

Great video, next try the Oppo a79 5g please.

[JudGaoilan]

When will you gonna have a full review on the new vivo V40 5g??

[Unanmouz]

I honestly LOVE the ultrawide camera! Prolly some of the best for an upper mid-range phone... BUT it's only downfall is when it comes to video recording!! Even at 1080p, the video doesn't look that sharp... 😅😅 Maybe Vivo needs to optimize this camera. For photos tho, it's excellent day and night 😁

I wish Vivo V30 have a telephoto cam with 12MP with 2x optical zoom or 50mm focal length and 12 MP ultrawide cam, stereo speakers and yes a flat display with thin bezels. Otherwise, there is nothing much to complain about this good midranger.

[Lestyanto-yf]

is there a flash in the front/selfie camera ?

[Ai-nsfm]

can it be considered a budget flagship?

[distar]

How I wish Vivos would sell in Europe. We're really missing out.

[beatomanago]

Which has better camera? Vivo V30 or Redmi 13pro+?

#VivoV30Fan! This phone's a camera champ - captures amazing pics & vids anytime, and the battery lasts all day for endless memories. Plus, the sleek design & smooth display are perfect for browsing & videos. Only bummer? The back is slippery & scratch-prone. Fixed that with a clear, grippy body & screen film from gadgetshieldz tho! Stylish protection that lets me hold it with confidence & showcases the phone's beauty! #WorthEveryPenny ✨

[wanderfulcolour]

The fact that it doesn't have stereo speakers baffled me

[Theultimateathletic]

S22 ultra or s23 which should I go for?

[IzendarToday]

The display IS curved acually. You could see that when objects get near the edge of the screen whli swiping for example.

I suggested my lolo to buy this so he can replace his aging Realme GT ME, and he's totally satisfied with this phone, he even bought the 12+512 model so he won't get low storage messages anymore
