Vivo is all set to turn up the heat in the Indian smartphone market this festive season. Ahead of Holi, the company has officially announced the launch of its highly anticipated Vivo V70 Series, featuring the first-ever ‘Elite’ model in the lineup.
While the series is packed with power, the real showstopper is the design—boasting bezels so thin they make most current flagships look bulky. Here is everything you need to know about this upcoming “Bezel-less” marvel.
Official Launch: Mark Your Calendars for Feb 19
Vivo has confirmed that the Vivo V70 and Vivo V70 Elite will debut in India on February 19, 2026, at 12:00 PM IST.
- Availability: The devices will be sold via Flipkart, Amazon, and the Vivo India online store.
- Price Bracket: The series is expected to be priced in the under-₹55,000 segment, with the standard V70 likely starting around ₹39,999.
1.25mm Ultra-Thin Bezels: A Visual Revolution
The highlight of the Vivo V70 Elite is its 1.25mm ultra-narrow uniform bezels. To put this in perspective, these are even slimmer than the bezels on several top-tier global flagships.
- Golden Grip Design: Despite the massive screen, the phone features a 6.59-inch “Golden Grip” size, designed to fit perfectly in one hand.
- Peak Brightness: The 1.5K AMOLED display reaches a staggering 5,000 nits of peak brightness, ensuring crystal-clear visibility even under the harsh midday sun.
- Refined Aesthetics: Moving away from the curved edges of the V60, the V70 Elite adopts a flat aerospace-grade aluminum frame for a more modern and premium feel.

Available exclusively in India from February 19 to March 15, this feature uses AI to enhance skin tones and vibrant colors, making your Holi celebrations look professional and cinematic.
Elite Performance and Durability
The “Elite” tag isn’t just for show. The Vivo V70 Elite is powered by the Snapdragon 8s Gen 3, achieving an AnTuTu score of over 1.8 million.
- Rugged Protection: Both phones come with IP68 and IP69 ratings, meaning they are fully protected against dust, heavy rain, and even high-pressure water jets.
- Endurance: The 6,500mAh battery supports 90W FlashCharge and includes Bypass Charging, allowing you to play games while plugged in without heating up the battery.
Final Verdict: The New Design King?
With 1.25mm bezels and a powerhouse processor, the Vivo V70 Elite is positioning itself as the most “Elite” V-series phone ever made. It is clearly targeting users who want a flagship design and pro-grade cameras without crossing the ₹60,000 mark.
