Vivo appears set to launch its upcoming Vivo V50 in India, following the debut of the Vivo V40 series in August. Recent reports have revealed details about the launch timeline, expected specifications, and other key information surrounding the device, fueling anticipation among Indian consumers.

According to tipster Abhishek Yadav on X, the Vivo V50 is expected to be introduced in India next month, in February. If the timeline holds, official teasers and promotional campaigns may begin shortly. However, Yadav also notes that this time around, Vivo is unlikely to release a V50 Pro model, though the exact reasons for this decision remain unclear, 91Mobiles reported. On the other hand, a Vivo V50e has recently surfaced on the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) platform, suggesting that this variant might be available in the Indian market as well.
