Dubai, UAE: Today, a smartphone without a camera is unheard of. Thanks to the cutting-edge technology embedded in their smartphones that they carry everywhere they go, users no longer see the need to invest in a professional camera as they are confident their smartphones will be able to capture life’s best moments.
vivo recently launched the X50 and X50 Pro as part of its all-new X50 series of flagship smartphones. With user-centric designs and innovation at the heart of their operations, the smartphones feature professional-grade camera technologies that revolutionize the mobile photography experience.
X50 and X50 Pro cater to amateur photographer’s keen to record a slice of life and share these on digital platforms in a seamless and efficient manner.
The X50 has a versatile camera setup with one 32MP front camera and four cameras at the rear. Offering greater flexibility and a broader range of compositions, these include the 48MP Main (with Optical Image Stabilization (OIS), 8MP Super Wide-Angle, 13MP Professional Portrait and 5MP Super Macro Camera (actual photo pixels are 2MP).
Meanwhile, the X50 Pro ups the ante and delivers an all-new professional-grade photography experience, comprising a 48MP Gimbal Main Camera and a 13MP Professional Portrait camera, as well as an 8MP Super Wide-Angle lens and 8MP 5x Telescopic lens and 32MP front camera.
Both the X50 and X50 Pro come preloaded with features such as Super Night Camera, Extreme Night Vision, Astro Mode, Pro Sports Mode, Motion AF Tracking and Digital Zoom, to name a few. Here is an in-depth look at what these features mean when it comes to elevating the photography experience:
Superb Night Camera: X50 and X50 Pro make every night shot stunningly sharp and crystal clear. Using the IMX598 sensor, the overall light sensitivity is stepped up 10 per cent, resulting in outstanding compositions.
Extreme Night Vision: Accompanied by vivo’s innovative new artificial intelligence denoise algorithm, the Extreme Night Vision feature kicks in automatically when extreme darkness is detected.
Astro Mode: This mode penetrates the darkest night and captures whatever lies beneath it – both city and country scenes at night are captured with astute clarity.
Pro Sports Mode: X50 and X50 Pro can take motion snapshots with almost zero-delay, thanks to a customized sensor, which reduces exposure time. These smartphones can capture people playing sport or engaging in activities that involve a lot of motion with impressive speed and precision.
Motion AF Tracking: Motion AF Tracking enables users to use the autozoom feature to zoom in on any object in a frame and keep it in focus. 3D Sound Tracking also follows the sound coming from a chosen subject – no matter where it goes.
Portrait Mode: Powered by a four-layer masking algorithm, Portrait Mode allows users to separate the subject from the background and apply separate effects for a more refined result.
Cinematic Master: Users can film anything they like with X50 and X50 Pro just as a professional vlog editing crew would. The combination of OIS and the accurate bokeh algorithm helps users to turn raw footage into a well-crafted work of art.
20x Digital Zoom – X50’s 2x lens leverages an industry-leading zoom algorithm to achieve 20x digital zoom. This helps users extend their view to the furthest distances.
60x Hyper Zoom – X50 Pro’s 60x Hyper Zoom is realized through integrating vivo’s zooming algorithm to a 5x telescopic camera with a periscopic lens. Together with the super stability delivered by the Gimbal Camera System, users can get close to things previously out of reach.
Using pivots, mounts, gyroscopes, and sensors, a handheld photography gimbal allows the camera to rotate smoothly along an axis, which offsets shaking and stabilizes the frame. X50 Pro’s built-in miniaturized gimbal module applies the same technology to stabilize the main camera, offering users an enhanced anti-shake capability.
Compared to OIS and Electronic Image Stabilization (EIS) schemes commonly seen in the industry, vivo Gimbal Camera System has the advantage of ensuring less distortion – the rotation of the entire module in the Gimbal Camera System means stability for the frame – there’s no image distortion or cropping, only authentic reproduction. In addition, with X50 Pro’s Gimbal Camera System, its anti-shake angle is maximized by up to three times that of the traditional OIS.
