The third camera is where things get interesting. Vivo is said to be using a 50MP 3x telephoto camera with ZEISS optics. The telephoto lens is tipped to use a larger sensor than what is usually seen in this segment, which should help with portraits and low-light shots. The camera setup is also expected to rely on a new image processing system, referred to as NICE 1.0, which is said to focus on improving clarity and reducing noise without overdoing image processing.

Vivo V70 Series specifications (expected)

For the first time, Vivo is expected to bring near-flagship performance to its V-series. The Vivo V70 Elite is tipped to be powered by the Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 processor.

The regular Vivo V70 is expected to use the Snapdragon 7 Gen 4 chipset. While not a flagship processor, it should be capable enough for everyday tasks, gaming, and multitasking. Based on the leaks, Vivo appears to be clearly separating the two models in terms of performance. The Vivo V70 series is expected to ship with OriginOS 6 out of the box.

Vivo V70 Series India launch timeline, price (expected)

As per the leak, the Vivo V70 series could launch in India by mid-February 2026. Pricing is expected to stay below Rs 55,000, putting it close to Vivo’s premium offerings.
