vivo V40 Series elevates photography with ZEISS Imaging technology and Multifocal Portrait


By Timothy Teoh September 9, 2024

What happens when the glamour of the fashion world collides with the elegance of portrait photography? To find the answer, just look towards the newly released vivo V40 Series.

The vivo V40 Series combines the best of clean, cosmos-inspired stylish aesthetics with powerful cameras designed to make you stand out. These powerful cameras, by the way, are developed in collaboration with the legendary prowess of ZEISS Imaging technology. ZEISS has a wealth of experience and expertise relating to optics under their belt, which makes this collab a pretty big deal.

What exactly do they bring to the table? Allow us to show you.

Outstanding Portraits with 5 Multifocal Lengths

Ask any experienced portrait photographer and they’ll tell you this: the key to great portraits lies in the focal length. Depending on what you’re aspiring to achieve, be it a creamy bokeh background or an intimate close-up, it all hinges on the focal length you choose.

It’s a rarity for smartphones to put this much emphasis on portrait cameras, but the vivo V40 Series integrates ZEISS’ five multifocal lengths into its portrait lens. They encompass a broad range of portrait styles, offering 24mm, 35mm, 50mm, 85mm, and 100mm focal lengths.

With these, you have the versatility to create full-body portraits or zero in on the elegance of your subject’s facial profile. What enhances these photos further is the inclusion of ZEISS Style Portraits and ZEISS Style Bokeh, each offering the artsy touch you want to achieve with your portraits.

Is that all? No, because we have not yet touched on the AI Aura Light Portrait on the vivo V40 Series. Aura Light is not new to the V-series, but it is better now with a 33% increase in brightness. And not to mention, the new Electronic Control Technology which greatly enhances clarity and colour reproduction even in low-light environments.

It wasn’t too long ago that taking quality portrait photos at night was impossible. Now, with the vivo V40 Series fitted with ZEISS technology, glorious night portraits are just a tap away.

Cosmos-inspired Design

To play the part, you’ve got to look the part. And the part you’re going for is out-of-this-world sophistication. Not to worry, as that’s all imbued in the stellar colourways of the vivo V40 Series.

The vivo V40 5G’s Nebula Purple, for instance, is inspired by the cosmic ways of the galaxy. It’s adorned with bright, shimmering purple that demands attention wherever it goes. Adding to the celestial brilliance is the exquisitely crafted Gemini Ring Design gracing the rear panels, refined with precise curves that exude an air of luxury.

Longing for something a little more down-to-earth? You can always go with Sunglow Peach for a warmer, comforting aura. There’s also Stellar Silver and Moonlight White, both sophisticated and stylish in their own ways.

Performance worthy of praise

You may have had bad experiences with battery life on slim phones, but we can assure you that the vivo V40 Series will free you from that burden. Despite its sleek 7.58mm thickness, the vivo V40 Series successfully packs a 5,500mAh battery into its slim frame. This is coupled with swift 80W wired charging, giving you the best of both an all-day battery life and lightning-quick charging.

Not only that, but the vivo V40 Series features holistic hardware protection with an IP68 rating, which is what you’ll get on expensive flagships too.

Regardless of the model you choose, the V40 Series will get you a 6.78″ AMOLED display offering stunning 1.5K (2800×1260) resolution and 120Hz refresh rates for exhilarating visuals. Additionally, their displays have received SGS Certification for Low Blue Light, Low Flicker, and Low Motion Blur.

Finally, when you need a little extra push, you can always rely on the 12GB Extended RAM for enhanced functionality and boosted multi-tasking.

vivo V40 Series: Lighting up the mid-range segment

Despite being the new kid on the block, the vivo V40 Series is redefining the mid-range segment with its top-tier performance and stunning ZEISS cameras, all packaged in dazzling aesthetics.

Smartphone photography has always been innovative, but the vivo V40 Series with ZEISS Imaging only takes it up a notch – and we’re all for it.
