vivo Malaysia previously announced that it will be launching the V27 on 30 March. With that being today, the company has officially launched the phone, almost a whole month after the V27e variant, which launched at the start of the month. It’s also worth mentioning that both variants were launched internationally on the same day, alongside a Pro model that has yet to make an appearance.
But back to the vivo V27, the local variant of the phone looks pretty similar to the international variant where its spec sheet is concerned. We’re looking at a 6.78-inch FUll HD+ AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate, a MediaTek Dimensity 7200 chipset, 256GB of storage, and a battery that’s rated at 4600mAh, with support fort 66W charging. You also get a fingerprint sensor under the screen. On the software side of things, the phone runs Android 13 with the Funtouch 13 overlay out of the box.
For its cameras, the vivo V27 comes with a 50MP primary camera, an 8MP wide-angle shooter, and a 2MP macro lens. Alongside the main camera setup is the familiar ring-shaped Aura Light Portrait LED that we saw on the V27e. The front-facing camera is a 50MP unit which sits in a punch hole cutout.
When the phone launched in international markets, the vivo V27 came with two RAM configurations, which were 8GB and 12GB. You’ll be glad to know that both models have made their way to local markets. As for their prices, they are RM1799 and RM1999, respectively. Both are already available via the company’s official e-store, as well as flagship stores on Lazada and Shopee. While they are available now, you can get it in between 1 April and 1 May to be entitled for free gifts worth up to RM957. These include a one-year extended warranty and a one-year screen protection, as well as a gift box.
