The Rumored Vivo V30 Spotted on TKDN
Recently, a TKDN listing for the Vivo V30 has surfaced, providing insights into the device’s design and key specifications. Identified by model number V2318, the listing reveals a sleek Black color option for the smartphone, along with other potential color variants. The back panel showcases a sizable rectangular module housing dual square camera setups and an LED flash, complemented by curved edges for an enhanced and comfortable grip.
On the front, the device boasts a curved display featuring a centrally located punch-hole cutout to accommodate the selfie camera. The right edge incorporates the volume rocker and power button, while the bottom section hosts a USB Type-C port, speaker grille, SIM tray, and primary microphone.
In terms of power, the phone is equipped with a 4,895mAh battery, likely marketed as 5,000mAh, and supports 80W fast charging. The TKDN listing also discloses that the Vivo V30 will feature 12GB of RAM and 512GB of storage.
Additional details from a previous Geekbench Vulkan benchmark listing suggest that the device will be powered by the recently introduced Snapdragon 7 Gen 3 processor. While the exact launch date remains undisclosed, it is anticipated to occur significantly earlier than its predecessor. The global debut of the Vivo V29 series took place in July, with availability in stores beginning in September. For the Vivo V30 series, a launch in early 2024 is anticipated.
