The Vivo V30 packs a similar curved AMOLED display with a punch-hole cutout for the front camera. The rear panel is slightly different, with the camera island in a rectangular shape with two cutouts for the rear cameras and a similar rectangular Aura light below the cameras. The rear panel has a marble-like finish (for the Andaman Blue colour) and acetate finish for the Peacock Green and Classic Black colours.
