vivo today unveiled the new V40 series, including V40 and V40 Pro, featuring a professional-grade portrait system co-engineered with Zeiss. The company has been making smartphones for a while now and I’ve had the chance to use several vivo phones in the past, including the new vivo V40 series. Here’s what the press release had to say about the new vivo v40 series.
Featuring a professional-grade portrait system co-engineered with Zeiss, vivo V40 series empowers users to capture portraits and videos that tell their story in stunning quality. V40 and V40 Pro also boast a powerful battery, all housed in a sleek, lightweight design — making them vivo’s the slimmest devices with a 5500 mAh battery to date.
“With vivo V40 series, we’ve focused on blending powerful mobile portrait photography, lasting battery performance and sleek design as a way to enhance the overall user experience. We partnered with Zeiss to co-engineer a professional-level portrait system that provides endless opportunities for creativity and self expression,” said Yongduan Zhou, General Manager of the Overseas Product Department at vivo. “The long lasting battery, effortless performance, immersive display, and intuitive interface ensure that users can stay connected, productive, and entertained throughout their day. We think of each device as more than a smartphone, it is a companion that enhances every aspect of your digital life.”
The vivo V40 series is meticulously engineered for professional-level portrait photography. Both V40 and V40 Pro achieve the quality and imaging performance standards jointly defined by vivo and Zeiss. This ensures the exceptional image quality and creative control that Zeiss Optics are known for.
Users can capture every detail with the 50 MP Zeiss OIS Main Camera, available on both models. The 50 MP Zeiss OIS Main Camera on V40 Pro uses the new 1/1.56-inch Sony IMX921 sensor, while V40 features the 1/1.56-inch Samsung ISOCELL GNJ Sensor. Both models have an f/1.88 aperture that enhances light intake, ensuring clear portraits and landscape photos at night. The powerful Optical Image Stabilization (OIS) further reduces blur and achieves a 2.8x 4light intake for consistently sharp and bright images.
For capturing portraits or distant subjects with remarkable clarity, V40 Pro boasts an exclusive 50 MP Zeiss Telephoto Portrait Camera5. This camera features the Sony IMX816 sensor and allows for 2x optical zoom and up to 50x Zeiss Ultra HD Zoom.
Both the vivo V40 and V40 Pro feature a 50 MP Zeiss Ultra Wide-Angle Camera 6with an f/2.0 aperture and autofocus tracking. With an ultrawide 119° angle and powerful autofocus, it is ideal for capturing stunning landscapes or group portraits, ensuring everyone fits in the photo. At the front, the 50 MP Zeiss Group Selfie Camera 8is equipped with smart autofocus, helping users take detailed and colorful selfies. The front camera image quality is further improved thanks to the AI Facial Contouring Technology that effectively reduces common facial distortion 9issues, including protruding or enlarged facial features, resulting in more natural-looking portraits.
Starting today, vivo V40 series will be available in India, and will gradually roll out to other markets. The availability, pricing, and specifications of each model may vary according to local market conditions and consumer preferences.
