At the core of the V50 is a powerful ZEISS co-engineered imaging system, making it an advanced portrait smartphone in the country. The 50 MP “All Main Camera” setup features DSLR-level stabilization (CIPA 4.0), AI Aura Light Portrait 2.0, and three portrait focal lengths with ZEISS Style Bokeh effects tailored for creators, influencers, and photography enthusiasts.
Speaking during the launch, James Irungu, vivo Kenya’s Brand Manager, emphasized the brand’s user-first philosophy:
“The vivo V-series has always been about empowering users to capture life’s moments. With the V50 5G, we’re taking another leap in mobile imaging.

We’re focused on delivering tools that enhance every part of our customers’ digital lives.”
To connect with local audiences, vivo is offering the V50 mobile phone in stunning range of colors inspired by nature such as the “Mombasa Starry Blue,” inspired by Kenya’s coastal scenery and the Satin Black.
