    So I bought the Motorola Edge 50 Pro instead. Same price, more memory, telephoto, wireless charging, aptx wireless, and hopefully a bit better display. Main camera will be a bit worse though and Motorola is terrible with system updates.

        Gusta, 11 Oct 2024It's bottleneck on CPU power. Just like u buy a PC. -... moreIf the CPU is VERY slow then you have a point, but a modern midrange processor can benefit a lot from UFS 3.1. Samsung A55 is a good example. It has UFS 3.1, and the difference is notable. Opening apps, switching between, and the whole usage experience feels notably faster and smoother. I had tried the A54 in the past and it wasn't nowhere near that snappy.
        Storage and memory have a huge impact on how snappy a phone feels in day to day tasks. Higher impact than the actual CPU in my opinion, once you go past a certain performance point.

          shame with curved screen so no for me....

              With prices close to Vivo X100 & even Xiaomi 13 Ultra with it's reduced price, it's hard to consider V40 & V40 Pro especially when it comes to the camera performance.

                Even this modest Vivo model seems to produce better photographs than the highest tier products of some major brands.

                    jiyen235, 11 Oct 2024yeah it's all just based on the vibes lolYeah. The Vivo V40 seems to be be giving pretty good vibes anyway. Must have that x-factor whatever it is!

If they did they should have an article explaining in the interests of transparency. However it seems to just be a overall impression score based on the overall impression of the reviewer

                            V40 is very expensive where i am. It is priced higher than 14T, priced higher than a less than 1yr old 13T pro phone.

                              - SATA SSD speed (600 MB/s) is more than enough for Celeron.
                              - Low speed NVMe (1800 MB/s) is for Pentium.
                              - Medium speed NVMe (3600 MB/s) is for Core Ultra 3. - High speed NVMe (5400 MB/s) is for Core Ultra 5.
                              - Extreme speed NVMe (7200 MB/s) is for Core Ultra 7.
                              More speed than 7200 is fore Core Ultra 9.

                              Trying to put UFS 3.1 on Snapdragon 7 Gen 3 is like u put NVMe high speed NVMe on Pentium processor. U won't notice the difference because the processor can't run super fast read/write.

                                The main thing is that I think the EU wants companies to get rid of chargers so European versions don't get it. I think I saw some indian youtubers get the charger. It most likely is a Europe only thing.

                                  I think if you consider the Indian price, this is a stellar phone, european people always get bad deals.

                                    I don't understand why it got 4.2
                                    For me it's 4.5 or 4.6 easily.

                                      Now all we need is the phone screen to not be curved.

                                        UFS 2.2?
                                        Minimal it should be UFS 3.1, UFS 2.2 usually for Smartphone below $260
