In time for the European Football Championship, Vivo releases a mid-range phone with a Zeiss camera.

The collaboration with the German optics expert should result in excellent image quality from the Vivo V40.

It’s highly likely that everyone who follows football games on TV has heard of Vivo. The Chinese smartphone company has long sponsored important football tournaments, such as the EURO 2024 in Germany this year. Vivo has unveiled its newest smartphones in line with the European Football Championship; these devices will be prominently promoted and on display throughout the month-long competition.

The Vivo V40 and V40 Lite models

The mid-range Vivo V40 phone boasts a superior camera at a cost-effective pricing. While it performs worse than the Vivo V40 Lite, it nevertheless makes an effort to live up to this claim.
