Vivo Jovi V50 5G : Vivo has taken an interesting step in Brazil by launching two new smartphones named Jovi V50 5G and Jovi V50 Lite 5G. While these names might seem completely new, these phones are actually Vivo’s familiar models, but under a different name specifically for the Brazilian market.
Why the Name Change?
Vivo could not use its original brand name in Brazil because “Vivo” is already registered by another company, Telefônica Brasil. To avoid legal problems, Vivo chose to rename their phones as “Jovi” only for Brazil. Despite the new name, the phones keep the same design, features, and performance as their global versions.
Meet the Jovi V50 5G: A Stylish Powerhouse
The Jovi V50 5G is a high-end smartphone designed to impress. It has strong build quality with IP68 and IP69 ratings, meaning it is protected from dust, water, and accidental drops.
The display is one of the best features, boasting a 6.77-inch curved AMOLED screen with a sharp 1.5K resolution and a smooth 120Hz refresh rate. It’s extremely bright too, with a peak brightness of 4500 nits, making it easy to use even in direct sunlight. The phone also has a modern in-display fingerprint sensor for quick and secure unlocking.
Inside, the phone is powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 7 Gen 3 chipset, offering fast and reliable performance whether you’re gaming or multitasking. The large 6000mAh battery supports 90W fast charging, so you can quickly recharge and stay connected all day.
With 12GB RAM and 512GB storage, the Jovi V50 5G can handle heavy apps, games, and large media files smoothly.
Camera lovers will appreciate the powerful setup: a 50MP front camera for clear selfies and video calls, plus a triple rear camera system featuring two 50MP lenses (main and ultra-wide) with optical image stabilization (OIS) and a bright Aura LED flash for low-light shots.
The phone runs on the latest Android 15 with Vivo’s custom FunTouch OS 15, offering a smooth and user-friendly experience.
Jovi V50 Lite 5G: Mid-Range with Big Battery Life
The Jovi V50 Lite 5G is a strong mid-range option. It shares the same 6.77-inch AMOLED display with 1.5K resolution and 120Hz refresh rate but has a slightly lower brightness of 1800 nits.
Powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 6300 processor, it delivers reliable performance for daily use without a high price. It comes with 8GB RAM and 256GB storage, enough for most users.
The highlight here is a massive 6500mAh battery, offering long-lasting use for gaming, streaming, and social media. Like its sibling, it supports 90W fast charging.
Camera-wise, it features a 32MP front camera and a dual rear camera setup: a 50MP main sensor (Sony IMX882) and an 8MP ultra-wide lens. It runs on Android 15 with FunTouch OS 16, has an in-display fingerprint sensor, and an IP65 rating for dust and water resistance.
Pricing and Availability
Vivo has not yet revealed the official prices for these phones in Brazil. Judging by their specs, the Jovi V50 5G and Lite will likely be priced in the premium mid-range segment, offering excellent value for money.
It remains unclear if Vivo will expand the “Jovi” brand beyond Brazil, but this clever rebranding allows them to enter the market without legal issues and deliver their latest technology to new users.
Whether you call it Vivo or Jovi, these smartphones promise top-quality performance and features for Brazilian users.
