If you watched the live on their social media, then you’d know what I’m talking about. vivo Malaysia had announced their latest offering to their smatphone line, the X70 series 5G of flagship devices that heavily emphasizes on mobile photography.
Partering with ZEISS once again
Continuing their fruitful partnership with ZEISS, both X70 models come with ZEISS T* Coating on their sensors. It reduces light flares which’ll reduce ghosting and weird discolorations from happening in your shots. Is it going to work like a built-in UV filter? we’ll find out soon enough.
What’s cooler are the 3 new Style Portait features from ZEISS, Distagon, Planar and Sonnar, which are unique to the brand and now made accessible in a smartphone.
Gimbal Stabilization 3.0
Carrying on their reliable legacy of gimbals on a phone, the X70 series gets the latest enhanced Gimbal Stabilization 3.0 version, which features a VIS 5-Axis Ultra Stable Video, OIS, and EIS to aggressively stabilize both the X and Y axis to give users the most stable footage a smartphone can do without attaching to a physical gimbal.
Which one should I buy?
At a glance, both models are pretty similar, with the major differences coming from the camera department and memories. Both come in the same colors, Cosmic Black and Aurora Dawn
