Vivo V40 Price in Pakistan
The price of the Vivo V40 is Rs. 139,999; there is no change in it compared to the Vivo V30’s price. While it may seem a little high, it’s important to consider that mobile phone prices have been on the rise in recent years due to the poor economic situation. With that in mind, the price seems reasonable. Alternatively, you may find other Vivo phones at lower prices on platforms like OLX.
Final Verdict
All-in-all, the Vivo V40 is a cosmetic upgrade of the V30. If you are someone who already has a Vivo V30, upgrading to the Vivo V40 may not give you a huge upgrade. If you like the design, high brightness, and Zeiss optics, then you may consider this phone. If you have any other phone and want to switch, this one might be an attractive choice at this price range. Now, the choice is yours!
