People we asked about how they dropped their phones shared a variety of anecdotes, from dropping their phones on hard surfaces to accidentally stepping on them during daily activities. These stories formed the basis for subsequent trials to test the durability of the Vivo V30.
Throughout the testing phase, the Vivo V30 has demonstrated remarkable resilience against all simulated crashes, sustaining no visible damage. This test showcased the quality of the phone’s build and its resistance to common physical damage that can occur from everyday accidents.
If we look at the features of Vivo V30, it offers users a superior image quality with its 6.78 inch AMOLED screen, 1.5K resolution and 120 Hz refresh rate. The screen’s 452 PPI pixel density and 2800 nits brightness value promise clear and vivid visuals.
Powering the device from Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 7 Gen 3 processor, V30 runs on the Android 14-based Funtouch OS 14 operating system. In addition, the 5000 mAh battery can be charged quickly with 80W wired charging support.
For photo and video shooting, the V30 has a 50 Megapixel main camera and a 50 Megapixel ultra wide-angle camera on the back. On the front, there is a selfie camera with a resolution of 50 Megapixels. The connection features of the device include options such as 5G, Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth 5.0, GNSS and NFC.
