vivo recently introduced its latest flagship, the vivo V40 5G, to the Philippine smartphone market. Co-developed with ZEISS, its camera system is designed to rival professional-grade equipment, able to capture stunning photos and videos.
At the heart of the vivo V40 5G’s photography system are three 50MP sensors, all paired with ZEISS optics. The back has a 50MP main camera and 50MP ultra-wide lens, supported by the AI Aura Light. While at the front is a 50MP shooter for selfies.
One of the V40’s highlight features is the ZEISS Multifocal Portrait. This innovative tech provides users with different focal lengths typically found in more expensive cameras used in professional portraits. Additionally, ZEISS Style Portraits offer a variety of artistic bokeh options to enhance each photo.
The result? Crisp, clean portraits with a soft, flattering focus on the subject’s skin and features.
Further, the V40’s primary camera can consistently deliver high-quality photos with vibrant colors and a wide dynamic range. Images are sharp, with fine details and clarity.
Moreover, the phone excels in videography. The ZEISS Cinematic Video Bokeh adds a cinematic touch to videos, using AI-powered depth calculation to ensure the subject remains in focus while creating a natural background blur.
The V40 is more than just its cameras. It also boasts a sleek design, a powerful processor, and a long-lasting battery.
The phone is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 7 Gen 3 chip with 12GB RAM and up to 512GB of storage, delivering smooth performance. It also features a 5500mAh battery with support for 80W fast charging.
The device also has an in-display fingerprint scanner, stereo speakers, Funtouch OS 14 based on Android 14, and robust IP68 and IP69 dust and water resistance.
