The Vivo V40E is a mid-range smartphone that boasts an impressive 5500 mAh battery capacity and 80W super fast charging capabilities. In this test review, we put the phone's charging speed to the test. With a fully dead battery (1% charge), we connected the phone to its 80W charger and let it run for 15 minutes, after which it reached 46%. The charging speed was remarkably fast, considering the phone's size and capacity. At 25 minutes, the battery had reached 67%, and by 35 minutes, it had climbed to 87%. The phone continued to charge quickly, hitting 96% by the 40-minute mark. After a further three minutes, the battery finally hit 100%. The entire charging process took just 43 minutes, a testament to the power of Vivo's 80W super fast charging technology. In our test conditions (21°C room temperature), the phone's charging speed was impressive, and we would expect similar results in everyday use. While the battery size is substantial, the phone's overall design is still sleek, with a glass back and plastic frame, featuring dual cameras and a 50MP primary sensor. While this review focused solely on the battery charging test, it's clear that the Vivo V40E has plenty to offer, including its speedy charging capabilities. If you're in the market for a mid-range smartphone with impressive specs, the Vivo V40E is definitely worth considering.

The wide dynamic range mode offers excellent detail, sharpness, and contrast, making it a recommended setting for both photos and videos.
