Along with being functional, a modern-day smartphone must survive rain, hail, and storms. I have been toying with numerous phones in the past year, but I haven’t come across a device that packs almost everything — a stellar camera, sturdy build, and a refreshing design. 

For the last two weeks, I have been using the Vivo V40 Pro, which the brand claims stands out in an ocean of smartphones with its focus on superior imaging capabilities. In this review, I will explore what sets the smartphone, launched earlier in August, apart from its competitors and help you make an informed decision. 

Slim and sleek

The first thing that caught my attention was the slim profile, and I feel housing a large battery makes it an engineering marvel. More so, I feel Vivo has done a great job, especially at reaching out to the segment of users who are averse to bulkier smartphones. With the V40 Pro, Vivo has managed to come out with a slim device despite packing a 5500 mAh battery. It is 7.58 mm thick, has a great design, and does not compromise on the battery life.
