Vivo is set to unveil the much-anticipated Vivo V70 Series 5G in India today, expanding its premium mid-range smartphone portfolio. The lineup arrives as the successor to the 2025 Vivo V60 and Vivo V60e, and is expected to include two models — the Vivo V70 and the all-new Vivo V70 Elite.
Ahead of launch, Vivo has teased several key highlights, including ultra-slim bezels measuring just 1.25mm, claimed to be the narrowest in the under Rs. 50,000 segment in India.
The Vivo V70 Elite and Vivo V70 will be launched in India today at 12pm IST.
The company has scheduled a livestream of the launch event on YouTube, allowing users to watch the official unveiling online.

Rs. 61,999 – 12GB + 512GB

These price points place the V70 lineup squarely in India’s competitive upper mid-range segment.
The Vivo V70 series will include the Vivo V70 Elite and Vivo V70 models, both featuring upgraded hardware and premium display technology.
Vivo V70 Elite: Powered by Snapdragon 8s Gen 3
Vivo V70: Powered by Snapdragon 7 Gen 4
Operating System: OriginOS 6 based on Android 16
The Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 is positioned as a performance-focused chipset offering flagship-grade AI capabilities and gaming enhancements, while the Snapdragon 7 Gen 4 aims to deliver balanced efficiency and performance.
The Vivo V70 series is teased to feature:
6.59-inch 1.5K display
459 ppi pixel density
120Hz refresh rate
5,000 nits peak brightness
Ultra-narrow 1.25mm bezels
If accurate, the 5,000 nits peak brightness would make it one of the brightest displays in its segment, improving outdoor visibility and HDR performance.
The lineup is expected to feature a Zeiss-backed triple camera system:
50MP Sony IMX882 primary sensor with OIS
50MP telephoto camera
Ultrawide camera (unspecified resolution)
50MP front selfie camera
The Zeiss partnership suggests enhanced portrait modes, colour tuning, and professional photography features.
6,500mAh battery
90W wired fast charging support
A 6,500mAh battery is notably large for this segment and could deliver extended screen time, especially when paired with efficient Snapdragon chipsets.
