The FCC listing for the vivo V70 reveals that the phone is being prepared for a wider (global) launch and confirms key basics like Android version, connectivity features, and at least one memory variant. It also aligns with earlier benchmark chatter about Snapdragon 7 Gen 4 and hints that the V70 could closely match the recently launched vivo S50’s core hardware.

OVERVIEW: VIVO V70 CERTIFICATION REVEALS
Key FCC findings
The FCC certification lists the phone under model number V2538 and shows an FCC ID of 2AUCY‑V2538, while IMEI cross-checks referenced in the reporting connect this model number to the “vivo V70” name. After the India certification news, this FCC approval further supports that the vivo V70 isn’t just India-bound and is expected to launch more broadly. The same FCC material also exposes a tested firmware build string (PD2529KF_EX_A_16.0.4.2.W30), which helps confirm the software branch the phone is currently running in testing.
Wireless and bands
From the FCC documents, the V70 is shown supporting GSM, WCDMA, LTE, and 5G NR connectivity, meaning it’s intended to work across older networks and modern 5G networks. The 5G NR band support listed includes n2, n5, n7, n25, n26, n38, n41, n77, and n78, which covers a mix of low-band and mid-band 5G commonly used in many regions. The filing also indicates Wi‑Fi 6 (802.11ax) on both 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands, plus Bluetooth (2.4GHz), NFC (13.56MHz), and GNSS for satellite positioning.
Software, RAM, and chipset
The FCC testing data shows the vivo V70 running Android 16, and NESTGENTECH expects it to ship with OriginOS 6 on top when it launches. Memory information revealed in the certification points to at least one configuration with 12GB RAM and 256GB storage, while GSMArena also references a Geekbench appearance suggesting an additional 8GB RAM option. That Geekbench-related reporting further claims the phone will use Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 7 Gen 4 platform, which would place it in the upper mid-range performance segment.
Expected specs (if S50 rebrand)
The vivo V70 is expected to be a rebranded vivo S50 (with the chipset being the main potential difference), and if that turns out to be true, the V70 could feature a 6.59-inch AMOLED display with 1260×2750 resolution and a 120Hz refresh rate. In that same scenario, the camera setup could include a 50MP main camera with OIS, a 50MP periscope telephoto with 3x optical zoom and OIS, an 8MP ultrawide, and a 50MP selfie camera. Battery and charging, again based on the “rebrand” expectation, could be a 6,500mAh battery paired with 90W wired charging.
What this means for launch
The FCC documents don’t confirm pricing, exact camera sensors, or display protection, but they are useful because they typically validate the “real” connectivity stack and software build a phone is being tested with. Based on the same chain of leaks and certifications summarized by The Tech Outlook, the vivo V70 is being tipped for an India launch around February 2026, though that timing remains unofficial. Until vivo announces it, the safest take is: FCC confirms Android 16 testing, Wi‑Fi 6/NFC/5G readiness, and at least one 12GB/256GB variant—while the S50-like specs remain an expectation, not a confirmed final sheet.
