The vivo V30 Smartphone: Enhanced Photos & Sleek New Design
The latest V-Series handsets feature overhauled camera technology, simplified video creation, and long-lasting performance in a slim package.
Tech company vivo has introduced the V30, the latest addition to its V-Series smartphones. With a slim profile, stunning screen, and 5,000 mAh battery, the V30 looks like a very decent handset, but it’s the device’s high-end 50 MP camera array that’s the real star of the show here.
Revolutionizing Portrait Photography
The V30 boosts the quality of portrait photography using its Studio-Quality Aura Light Portrait, which uses both hardware and software to tackle common problems such as poor lighting and inaccurate color rendition.
The upgraded Aura Light is said to be 19 times bigger and 50 times softer than a standard smartphone flash. This combination helps the V30 capture incredible detail while preserving the delicate texture and subtle tones of a subject’s skin.
In addition, the V30 also features an integrated Smart Color Temperature Adjustment feature enabling precise color temperature changes based on the subject’s surroundings. Meanwhile, Distance-Sensitive Lighting detects a subject’s distance in real time, altering the power of the flash proportionately.
Finally, a built-in Food Mode is on hand for those Instagram restaurant shots, featuring a 3D virtual fill light that works even in dim lighting.
Breakthrough Camera Setup
As for the hardware specs of the V30’s cameras, the device doesn’t disappoint. A VCS True Color Main Camera is augmented by a 50 MP AF Ultra Wide-Angle Camera and a 50 MP AF Group Selfie Camera.
For bright, accurate night scenes, the 50 MP VCS True Color Main Camera comes with a 1/1.55″ sensor offering flagship low-light sensitivity, supported by Optical Image Stabilization.
The huge 50 MP AF Ultra Wide-Angle Camera packs Auto Focus and a 119° wide angle lens, allowing users to capture expansive landscapes or group photos of up to 30 people. For equally great-quality selfies, a 50 MP AF Group Selfie Camera is on hand, again with Auto Focus and a wide angle of 92°.
Another interesting feature of the V30’s camera setup worth mentioning is the sensor, which features Camera-Bionic Spectrum (VCS) technology that mimics the human eye to offer improved quality.
Simplified Video Creation
vivo claims that the V30 series will allow users to shoot professional-grade vlogs with ease. The Aura Light Portrait technology works with videos as well as photos, and Hybrid Image Stabilization (OIS + EIS) should also boost quality by producing smoother and more stable footage. In terms of software, vivo’s Vlog Movie Creator is on hand to provide a variety of video effects and optimization tweaks to enhance the editing process.
Elegant Design And Long-Lasting Performance

Despite the V30’s slim chassis, vivo has managed to cram a large 5,000 mAh battery inside, boasting a capacity that of the outgoing model. vivo claims that the V30’s battery life won’t drop below 80% even after 1,600 discharge cycles, so the smartphone should be good for at least 4+ years of use.
When it comes to fast charging, an 80W FlashCharge system will fill the device up in just 48 minutes. Combined with a decent 23 hours of standby time, you shouldn’t have to worry about the battery lasting a full day of multimedia activity.
Additional Tech Specs
No smartphone update would be complete without a screen overhaul. The vivo V30 features a 6.78-inch Full HD+ AMOLED Ultra Clear Sunlight Display with a resolution of 2800 x 1260 pixels, HDR10+ support, and a 120Hz refresh rate.
Underneath the hood is a Qualcomm Snapdragon 7 Gen 3 chipset, backed by an Adreno 720 GPU for handling graphics-intensive tasks. The smartphone comes with 12GB of LPDDR4X RAM and up to 256GB of storage.
On the outside, the V30 sports an elegant look with multiple colorways, high-performance glass, and an IP54 rating against dust and water resistance.
Pricing And Availability
Preorders for the V30 are running between March 14 and 20 in the UAE, with a bundle of free add-ons included. For more details, visit vivobuy.com.

LUVED Is A New Curated Preloved Marketplace For The UAE
Sellers keep 100 percent of every sale and AI can build a listing in five seconds — though the app’s smartest tools are still coming.
Secondhand shopping has become mainstream in the UAE, but the experience is still scattered across resale sites, social media and informal group chats. LUVED, a mobile-first marketplace that launched in Dubai this month, is betting it can pull that activity into one place — and that the thing buyers and sellers actually want is not more inventory, but trust.
The app trades in what it calls circular luxury: preloved fashion and lifestyle pieces across men’s, women’s and children’s categories, bought, sold or given away peer to peer. Its main pitch is economics, with sellers keeping 100 percent of every sale under a zero-commission, fast payout model, while buyers are promised vetted pieces at lower prices.
Where LUVED is staking its reputation is verification. Sellers pass a KYC check, and items run through a two-layer authentication system powered by Entrupy that pairs instant AI screening with human expert review for high-value pieces. Authenticity certificates travel with each item, payments sit in escrow, and a buyer-protection package the company calls The Safety Net adds a 48-hour return window and dispute resolution. Door-to-door logistics removes the in-person meetups that make most resale deals awkward.
An in-app assistant called Luvbot — offering selling insights and demand-based recommendations — is soon to be introduced to the platform. Other features include autofill and dynamic pricing that lets users build a listing in as little as five seconds from three photos, plus a swipe-based feed, story-style drops and in-app chat in English and Arabic. Finally, a gifting layer, Luved & Gifted, lets users pass items to others inside the app rather than sell them.

“After moving to Dubai, I saw how difficult it was to sell or even give things away,” says founder and CEO Shaima Sibtain. The friction is real, and so is the competition. In resale, trust is won transaction by transaction — and that is the test LUVED has set itself.
The app is live on the App Store now, with Google Play to follow. The company also plans to expand across the region, which will be the real test for a marketplace staking everything on trust.
