The vivo V50 Lite 5G has officially arrived in the Philippines, priced at ₱16,999. With its sleek design, powerful cameras, and impressive features, it stands out in the competitive mid-range market.
However, its 6500mAh BlueVolt battery is the real game-changer here, offering impressive stamina and fast charging capabilities.
Next-Level 6500mAh BlueVolt Battery
The vivo V50 Lite 5G is built for users who need all-day power. According to vivo, it delivers up to 14.16 hours of uninterrupted navigation and 27.41 hours of YouTube streaming. From our experience, we can confirm its impressive endurance — the phone is undeniably resilient. In Tagalog, “makunat” is the word to describe the battery.
In our full review, the device lasted us nearly 1.5 days on a single charge. We also wanted to see how short bursts of streaming impacted battery life. So we looped a YouTube video for 30 minutes at maximum brightness and volume, expecting a noticeable drop. Surprisingly, the battery remained at 100%.
Next, we ran the PCMark Work 3.0 Battery Life test. The benchmarking tool is designed to measure a mobile device’s battery life under simulated real-world usage scenarios. Instead of simply looping a single, synthetic task, it runs a series of workloads that represent common productivity tasks.
This test typically finishes overnight. However, the V50 Lite 5G was still running the test well into the next day (nearing lunchtime), which is a very good sign of endurance.
The results? The phone recorded an impressive 15 hours and 56 minutes. This translates to 14 hours and 7 minutes of screen-on time and 22 hours and 33 minutes since the last full charge — outperforming many competitors in its price range.
Fast Charging & Long-Term Battery Health
Charging is equally impressive, thanks to 90W FlashCharge. It delivered a full charge in under 55 minutes. Meanwhile, a quick 25-minute top-up provided 50% battery, which means more usage and less time plugged in.
The V50 Lite 5G also features 24-Dimension Security Protection, safeguarding against overvoltage, overcurrent, and overheating. Unlike most smartphones, it comes with a 5-year battery health guarantee, retaining at least 80% capacity even after 1,700 charging cycles.
Other Features
Despite its high-capacity battery, the vivo V50 Lite 5G remains incredibly slim at just 7.79mm, offering a comfortable grip without sacrificing style.
The handset boasts a 6.77-inch AMOLED panel with FHD resolution and a smooth 120Hz refresh rate. With a peak brightness of 1,800 nits, the display is vibrant, sharp, and easily visible even under sunlight.
Under the hood, the phone runs on a MediaTek Dimensity 6300 processor paired with 12GB RAM and up to 512GB storage. This ensures smooth multitasking and gaming. The Funtouch OS 15 (based on Android 15) and AI-powered features also enhance the user experience.
For photography, the V50 Lite 5G boasts a 50MP Sony IMX882 main camera and a 32MP front shooter, resulting in impressive photos, especially in bright lighting conditions.
Durability is another big highlight. The IP65 dust and water resistance and MIL-STD-810H military-grade drop protection mean the device can withstand everyday wear and tear.
Final Thoughts
If you’re looking for a long-lasting, budget-friendly smartphone that doesn’t compromise on style or performance, then the vivo V50 Lite 5G is a solid option.
It combines exceptional battery longevity with a sleek and modern design and reliable performance. Not to mention its durable build, which means you’ll get more out of the device for a longer period of time.
