When a phone claims it can last all day with a massive 6,500mAh BlueVolt battery, you naturally get curious. When it’s also thin and light—only 7.79mm thick—you start to question if that battery claim is as strong as it sounds. So we decided to test it the only way that matters: by using the vivo V50 Lite 5G as our main phone for a full day without holding back.

No battery savers. No power banks. Just one full charge and real-world use.

We took it through what a typical workday looks like in the city. Starting with a full charge, the phone powered through morning routines—social media scrolling, catching up on group chats, replying to emails, and a bit of YouTube over breakfast. With the 90W FlashCharge already topping the phone up in under an hour, the night before, we were ready to go.

The commute gave us another chance to push it. Mobile data on, brightness on auto, and our fingers busy hopping through TikTok, Messenger, Instagram, and Spotify. The 120Hz AMOLED display made every swipe feel snappy, while the stereo speakers held up surprisingly well in noisy traffic.

At work, the phone became a productivity companion—calls over Bluetooth, documents on Google Drive, Live Text to copy notes from the whiteboard, and even AI Translate when reviewing a supplier catalog. We even used the Circle to Search feature a few times to identify random items during a brainstorming session. It wasn’t just entertainment—it had to handle real tasks.

During breaks, we shifted gears into content consumption. Full-length vlogs on YouTube, a few downloaded Netflix episodes, and more social media doomscrolling. Even under bright outdoor light, the AMOLED screen remained visible, thanks to its 1800-nit peak brightness. The audio stayed loud and clear without distortion.

In the afternoon, we ran a few errands and captured some shots around the area. The 50MP Sony IMX882 main camera handled various lighting conditions well. Portraits using Aura Light came out sharp and clean, even whenthe  lighting was tricky. The ultra-wide camera was handy for wider views, though sharpness took a minor hit toward the edges.

Gaming was next. A few rounds of Mobile Legends and Asphalt 9 on medium settings gave us a solid feel for what the phone could handle. It stayed cool, stable, and didn’t lag. For a non-flagship chipset, the Dimensity 6300 held its own.

Back home, the phone became our media device again—Netflix on the couch, more social media, and even video calls to wrap up the day. We also used the AI tools for quick edits: removing photo bombers with AI Erase 2.0, cutting out a subject using Live Cutout, and adding some cinematic flair with the built-in Film Camera Mode.

By the time the day ended, the V50 Lite 5G still had over 20% left in the tank. That’s after more than 15 hours of screen-on tasks, content streaming, gaming, camera use, Bluetooth pairing, and 5G connectivity. No emergency charging. No low-battery anxiety.

We didn’t even need to enable power saver.

The Verdict: A Phone That Matches Real Life

The vivo V50 Lite 5G doesn’t just advertise its 6,500mAh BlueVolt battery—it lives up to it. Whether you’re in school, working in the field, commuting across the metro, or just someone who spends a lot of time on your phone, this device keeps up.

And for something priced as low as PHP 13,999 for the 4G variant, that’s a solid deal. You’re not just getting long battery life—you’re also getting 90W fast charging, a sharp AMOLED display, dependable cameras, and IP65-rated durability in a phone that feels slim in the hand. Grab it in vivo concept stores, kiosks, and e-store.One phone, one full day, and we still didn’t kill the battery.
Maybe that’s the best kind of problem to have.
