MANILA, Philippines — vivo recently launched two new smartphones, the vivo V30 and vivo V30 Pro, as part of their V Series lineup in the Philippines.
Having a pleasant experience with our recent vivo V30 review, especially considering its price point, our attention now turns to its premium sibling: the vivo V30 Pro.
What features does the V30 Pro boast to earn the "Pro" in its name? Here are the promising features you can get.
50 MP cameras – front and back
The vivo V30 Pro has impressive 50MP cameras on both the front and back. This means you can take high-resolution, detailed photos whether it's a beautiful landscape or a close-up selfie.
At the back, the V30 Pro's camera setup includes a 50MP True Color Main Camera with Optical Image Stabilization, a 50MP Professional Portrait Camera, and a 50MP Autofocus Ultra Wide-Angle Camera with a 119° field of view.
The cameras also offer three color options that you should experiment with, according to your liking. There’s “vivid” for punchy colors, “textured” for rich images, and “natural” for true-to-life tones and colors.
Sounds impressive? Wait till the next point.
ZEISS optics technology
Renowned for its optics technology, ZEISS makes its debut in the vivo V series with the V30 Pro, enhancing the device's camera capabilities to nearly professional levels.
All of the vivo V30 Pro’s cameras are certified and co-engineered with ZEISS, ensuring that every photo captures the unmatched expertise and precision of the brand.
The thing about ZEISS’ integration into the V30 Pro’s optics is not all about the hardware, but also its software expertise. Case in point: the portrait mode where the vivo V30 Pro truly shines.
During our testing across various scenarios—daytime, indoor, outdoor and nighttime—the subject detection and separation in the V30 Pro's portrait mode proved to be stellar.
The beloved bokeh effect is present, and what's more, the level of blur can be adjusted even after the photo has been captured. This level of control allows users to fine-tune their portraits to perfection, ensuring stunning results in every shot.
6 portrait-style bokeh options
During the media launch of the vivo V30 Pro, emphasis was placed on portrait photography being a major focus, particularly in the Philippines where many users appreciate well-captured portraits.
True to this statement, the vivo V30 Pro lives up to expectations, delivering exceptional results in portrait photography.
The collaboration with ZEISS brings additional magic to the portrait mode with the introduction of new ZEISS-powered bokeh styles: Biotar, Cinematic, Cine-Flare, Sonnar, Distagon and Planar.
These offer users more creativity in customizing the style of blur in their portraits, adding a touch of artistry and personalization to each shot.
Here’s how some of them look:
