vivo has always been on top of its game when it comes to providing customers with good-performing phones that have eye-catching and stylish designs.
They are the first-ever smartphone brand in the world to bring in the concept of elevating cameras, which later on became a huge hit among customers. It was also the first one to globally introduce the world’s first half-screen in-display fingerprint scanning technology which truly changed how phones operate today
To further enhance the aesthetic appeal of its smartphones, vivo has integrated another innovation on some of its phones — Photochromic Technology.
Photochromic Technology is a first-of-its-kind innovation that allows smartphones’ backplates to seamlessly change color in mere seconds when exposed to ultraviolet (UV) light or sunlight. vivo’s latest version adds layers of color grading effect, thanks to the anti-glare and scratch-resistant glass on the back panel.
Unlike any other smartphone brand that just typically offers varieties of colorways for a specific phone, the color-changing effect of vivo enables users to have two different colors on one phone, which makes it more appealing, unique, and stylish.
Photochromic Technology is exclusive to vivo’s V Series, particularly the V27 5G, V25 5G, V25e, V25 Pro, and V23.
vivo V27 5G
vivo V27 5G was launched in March 2023. It has the Photochromic 2.0 version on its Emerald Green colorway, which can change to a darker green color when hit by sunlight or UV light.
Since it has the latest technology, its color-changing effect is much faster than its predecessor. It is more reactive and sensitive to light.
Along with Photochromic 2.0, the smartphone also has 12GB RAM + 256GB ROM, 120Hz refresh rate, 3D curved screen, EIS + OIS Dual-ultra stabilization, Aura portrait algorithm, and Sony IMX 766V sensor. You can check out our full review of the vivo V27 5G here.
