At the back are four cameras: a 48MP f/1.8 main camera, an 8MP f/2.2 ultrawide, a 2MP f/2.4 macro lens, and a 2MP f/2/.4 depth sensor. The brand has removed the rather traditional rear-mounted fingerprint scanner and is now using a modern in-display fingerprint sensor.
The vivo V19 is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 712 with 8GB of RAM and up to 256GB of expandable storage. It runs on Android 10 with FunTouchOS 10 and gets its juce from a 4,500mAh battery compatible with 33W Vivo Flash Charge 2.0 via its USB Type-C port.
