One of vivo‘s new camera-centric V40 series models is making its way to the Philippines in September.

(Update, September 18: The vivo V40 5G has launched in the Philippines!)

(Update, September 4: Check out the vivo V40 5G’s launch date in the Philippines, as well as its leaked prices!)

We at Revü recently spotted a vivo store adorned with promotional materials for the V40 lineup (showing brand ambassador Anne Curtis-Smith), along with a pre-purchase period for it. Preorders for the vivo V40 5G will start September 17 and continue until the 27th. Early birds can secure the smartphone with a P2,000 (approximately $36) discount and a free pair of vivo TWS 3e earbuds.

The specific pricing for the Philippine market is still unknown, but the company’s Indian launch gives us a rough idea. The vivo V40 5G starts at ₹34,999 (P24,018 or $417) in the Southern Asian country, while the V40 Pro 5G is priced at ₹49,999 (P34,321 or $596). In the Philippines, the previous-generation vivo V30 Pro cost P34,999 ($621) at launch, while the regular V30 was retailed from P24,999 ($444).

While it’s unclear if the brand will also bring the vivo V40 Pro 5G here, it’s possible that vivo may introduce it alongside the regular model. Given the company’s recent history of launching flagship and premium midrange devices in the Philippines, the Pro version’s arrival is a strong possibility.

The vivo V40 series boasts a sleek design with curved edges and premium materials. Powered by either the MediaTek Dimensity 9200 Plus (V40 Pro 5G) or Qualcomm Snapdragon 7 Gen 3 (V40 5G), the devices offer impressive performance for a mid-tier smartphone.

If nature is your happy place, let the ZEISS Biotar Style Bokeh in the new vivo V40 Series make it even happier.
Launching on 7th August.
