The Chinese smartphone manufacturer has placed an emphasis on the design of this mid range smartphone. It features a rear panel that appears to have a unique design engraved onto the surface.

Under the hood, the device is equipped with a MediaTek Helio G99 SoC that is paired with up to 12GB of RAM and up to 256GB of internal storage.
On the rear, it features a triple camera setup that consists of a 64 megapixel primary sensor that supports OIS, 2 megapixel macro camera and another 2 megapixel depth sensor. The front houses a 32 megapixel selfie shooter.
The V27e is powered by a 4,600mAh battery pack that supports 66W fast charging.
