vivo V15 Pro to get 32MP pop-up selfie camera: excessive or excellent?
July 19, 2025
Vivowas amongst the first smartphone brands to make a move towardspop upselfie cameras with the launch of thevivo NEXin 2018. It appears that the company wants to take the concept mainstream with the launch of the upcoming vivo V15 Pro.
As vivo gears up to launch the V15 Pro in India later this month, it has started hyping up the phone on social media. A teaser clip released onYouTubeearlier today reaffirmed some of the rumors floating around, including that it would house apop-up selfiecamera.
First seen on thevivo Apexlast year and subsequently, on the vivo NEX, the V15 Pro is expected to bring the innovative notch-avoiding concept at a lower price point. The teaser video also points at the phone having a 32MP front-facing camera. Allegedly, a world first.
A beauty shot of the rear of the phone points at a three camera combination. According toMySmartPrice, the phone will employ a 48MP+8MP+5MP camera set up. The primary sensor will, of course, be the48-megapixelsensor that will use pixel binning to improve low light capabilities and dynamic range. The remaining cameras might be used for a combination of telephoto, wide angle or depth sensing.
Specificationsfor the phone leaked earlier on Geekbench and suggest that the phone will have a Snapdragon 675 chipset. This is believed to be paired with 6GB of RAM and 128GB of storage. Not to forget, the phone eschews a traditional fingerprint scanner for anin-displayunit. The vivo V15 Pro will be powered by a 3,700 mAh battery.
vivo is said to be pricing the V15 Pro aggressively andMySmartPricesuggests that the phone might retail at around rupees 33,000 (~$465). We think vivo will have to undercut competitors like theOnePlus 6Tand theHONOR View 20by a wide margin to gain traction for the V15 Pro.
