As the business world becomes increasingly mobile and visually-driven, entrepreneurs are seeking smartphones that can keep pace with their demanding lifestyles. Enter vivo’s new V30 5G – a device packed with innovative features tailored for the modern go-getter. But does it truly deliver on its lofty promises?
The V30 5G’s headline feature is its advanced imaging system, spearheaded by the Aura Light Portrait mode. Vivo claims this offers vastly improved low-light photography compared to traditional LED flashes. While impressive on paper, one has to wonder if the average user will notice a dramatic improvement over other flagship camera setups.

Where the V30 5G seems to genuinely innovate is design. The curved 3D screen allows for a slim, pocketable formfactor while still packing a massive 5000mAh battery rated for multiple days’ use. The unique ‘Waving Aqua’ colour option is eye-catching, if a bit gimmicky.
Under the hood, the V30 5G is a powerhouse running Qualcomm’s latest 7-series chip and packed with RAM supplemented by vivo’s ‘Extended RAM’ software. This allowed for smooth multitasking in my testing, effortlessly juggling apps, video calls, and more simultaneously.
Perhaps the V30 5G’s biggest selling point for entrepreneurs is vivo’s incredible after-sales support. The 4-year battery replacement guarantee is unheard of in the smartphone world and could potentially save owners hundreds in future repair costs. Early buyers even get one free screen replacement.
Overall, the vivo V30 5G shapes up as an extremely capable smartphone geared towards entrepreneurs and mobile professionals. While its photographic advantages feel slightly overhyped, the combination of top-tier performance, striking design, and outstanding after-sales support make it a compelling option for those prioritising productivity and longevity. Only time will tell if vivo can truly disrupt the flagship market.
