I was invited by vivo, a Chinese budget smartphone manufacturer, to attend the presentation of their flagship series vivoX70, which will be released on September 15, 2021 and specializes in photography!
The vivoX70 is specialized in ZEISS-supervised camera and image stabilization, and at the presentation, I was able to hold the actual device and take photos of models and landscapes.
The meeting place is at the wharf?
The event venue is a private cruiser.
The meeting time is 3:00 p.m., and we will be put on the boat to start the one-hour presentation and photo shooting experience.
First, the specs and features!
What are the prices and specs?
The two models presented at the event were the high-end X70 Pro and X70.
The X70 and X70 Pro have a 6.56" display and a MediaTek Dimensity 1200-vivo processor. Memory is 8GB (X70)/12GB (X70 Pro) and storage is 128GB (X70)/256GB (X70 Pro).
The vivo X70 is priced at $4,998HKD (about ¥70450JPY) and the X70 Pro at $6,398HKD (about ¥90185JPY). Considering the price range and specifications, they are considered to be in the mid-range category.
High refresh rate with the latest E5 AMOLED
Refresh rate is important when viewing moving content.
The X70 uses the latest monitors to achieve a high refresh rate of 120Hz, the same as the iPhone 13 pro.
The X70 is also capable of running FPS games with 8GB (X70)/12GB (X70 Pro) of memory!
What is the selling point of the camera performance?
The X70 series' selling point is its ZEISS-supervised camera!
The X70 series is even more powerful than before with its gimbal function and 5-axis image stabilization, which has been a selling point for some time.
The sensor used is the Sony IMX766V made by Sony.
As for the number of cameras and images, the X70 has a triple-lens main camera with 40MP.
The top-of-the-line X70 Pro has a quadruple lens with a 50MP main camera, and both are equipped with a micro gimbal.
Let's take a look at the photos taken with the X70 Pro!

The lens is coated with Carl Zeiss T* anti-reflective coating, a technology often used in ZEISS SLR interchangeable lenses, and although it was a bit backlit, there was no light reflection or flare.

Although vivo is not currently in Japan, a mid-range phone that specializes in camera performance is very attractive.
I can't wait to see vivo's entry into Japan.
