This Vivo phone works on FuntouchOS 14 based on Android 14. This customized operating system comes with many utility apps.

Vivo V30 5G Review: Buy or not?
If we look at every aspect of this Vivo smartphone from design to camera, it justifies its price. The design of the phone is premium and it is very thin, due to which it can be easily carried. The phone has a high quality curved AMOLED display, which improves your viewing experience. It has the latest Android operating system and this phone does not disappoint in terms of performance. Talking about the camera, you can use it for Vlogging and photography. The only drawback we found is that it works on UFS 2.2 storage technology. Many brands in this range offer UFS 3.2 Offering technology. We can call it a ‘value for money’ smartphone.
