Vivo has debuted its X70 series of flagship smartphones with professional photography features. The X70, X70 Pro and X70 Pro+, sporting new portrait modes from Zeiss, will launch gradually in India, Thailand, Indonesia, Malaysia, Taiwan, the UAE and other countries across APAC and the Middle East.
The entire lineup has 32 MP front cameras, with rear-quad-camera arrays on both the X70 Pro+ (50MP+48MP+12MP+8MP) and the X70 Pro (50MP+12MP+12MP+8MP). The X70 will use a tri-camera system (40MP+12MP+12MP).
The new Zeiss Style Portrait features are inspired by the classic lenses Distagon, Planar and Sonnar. The first is useful for architecture and interior photography, the second introduces classic bokeh effects for portraits and other shots, while the last is known for its creamy bokeh, to document events or also for portraits. All of the phones in the series comply with Zeiss T* Coating, to reduce reflections and enhance light transmission for less ghosting or stray light.
The X70 Pro+ has a new Imaging Chip V1, designed by Vivo, and High Transmittance Glass Lens. The chip uses AI to reduce noise and also boost motion estimation and motion compensation. The device also has a 50MP Ultra-Sensing GN1 Sensor and 48MP Sony IMX598 Ultra-Wide Gimbal Camera with 360 degree Horizon Leveling Stabilization technology. The X70 Pro and X70 models also have Ultra-Sensing Gimbal Camera coupled with Gimbal Stabilization 3.0 technology, for users to capture steady images or videos in dynamic motion. VIS 5-Axis Ultra Stable Video technology has been furnished on the X70 Pro and X70, integrating enhanced OIS with EIS to transition the X/Y-axis with Z-axis rotation for well-rounded stability. All of the phones have Real-Time Extreme Night Vision, Super Night Video, Pure Night View, Pro Cinematic Mode and other features.
The X70 Pro+ is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 Plus 5G Mobile Platform, while the X70 Pro and X70 devices run on the MediaTek Dimensity 1200-vivo chip. The top line phone comes equipped with a 4500 mAh (TYP) battery and vivo standard charger (FlashCharge Adapter 11V / 5A) that supports 55W FlashCharge and, for the first time, Qi-compatible 50W Wireless FlashCharge technology. The X70 Pro and X70 models hold 4450 mAh (TYP) batteries or 4400 mAh (TYP) batteries respectively, along with a vivo standard charger (FlashCharge 11V / 4A) that supports 44W FlashCharge technology.
The top phone features 6.783-inch WQHD Display made of E5 High-Brightness Luminescent Materials, with support for a native 1 billion color display, up to 2K resolution, and a high pixel density of 517 PPI. The X70 Pro and X70 devices are outfitted with 6.56-inch displays that can peak at 120Hz refresh rates and 240Hz response rates. Finally, the X70 Pro+ is the first Vivo phone to get certified with an IP68 rating, offering splash, liquid, and dust resistance.
All of the phones sport Fluorite AG, a new industrial design process developed by Vivo that shroud the devices in crystallized glass with a prismatic surface, for fluorescent effects under the light. They also come with Funtouch OS 12 and the newly launched Nano Music Player.
The X70 Pro+ is available in Enigma Black, while the X70 Pro and X70 models will come in Cosmic Black or Aurora Dawn colorways. “Cosmic Black is inspired by the eternal vigor and exuberant vitality of our universe, a colorway symbolic of vast and deep darkness dotted by glittering silver hues to represent the stars during a pitch-black night. Aurora Dawn is an homage to the iridescent radiance of the Northern Lights in the polar sky, an eye-catching and gorgeous complexion,” Vivo explained.
