Vivo V40 Launch in India Imminent as Phone Shows up on BIS Website: Vivo V40e Spotted on IMEI Database

Vivo could be gearing up to launch the next line of V series smartphones in India. To recall, the Vivo V40 was released in Europe last month. However, the Vivo V40 and V40e were recently spotted on the IMEI database and BIS certification website.

The Vivo V40e showed up on the IMEI database, hinting at a global release soon, while the vanilla Vivo V40 was listed on BIS, suggesting a launch in India is imminent. It is worth noting that the Vivo V30 series arrived in India back in March, with the V30e's launch pushed to May.

The Vivo V40 was spotted on India's BIS database with model number V2348. On the other hand, Gizmochina sourced information about the Vivo V40e on the IMEI database with model number V2418.

Apart from the model number, other details about the Vivo 40e are still scarce, although it could be a rebranded version of the Vivo V40 Lite, which made its debut in Europe alongside the V40.

And since the Vivo V40 has already hit European shores, its specifications are well known. It is also worth noting that the specs of the global version of the Vivo V40 are nearly-indentical to the Vivo V30 (review).
