<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\nThe power of ZEISS<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\nCrafted to be the \u201cultimate professional portrait flagship of the year,\u201d the vivo V50 offers three 50MP sensors that are co-engineered with a ZEISS imaging system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This system comprises two rear sensors and one front sensor, as follows:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n- 50MP ZEISS OIS Main Camera <\/strong>\u2013 CIPA 4.0 DSLR-level stabilisation.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- 50MP ZEISS Ultra Wide-Angle Camera<\/strong> \u2013 119-degree field of view.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- 50MP ZEISS Group Selfie Camera<\/strong> \u2013 92-degree wide angle.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
Once we started putting these sensors to the test, it was clear that the ZEISS branding wasn\u2019t just for show.<\/p>\n\n\n

<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\nPortrait images were the star of the show, with the vivo V50 offering a range of ZEISS multifocal portrait features that mimic classic camera lenses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This allowed us to switch between three Bokeh effects: <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n- Landscape Portrait (23mm)<\/strong> \u2013 ZEISS Distagon Style Bokeh for wide-angle shots.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Street Portrait (35mm)<\/strong> \u2013 ZEISS B-Speed Style Bokeh for everyday moments.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Classic Portrait (50mm)<\/strong> \u2013 ZEISS Biotar Style Bokeh for that cinematic blur.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\nEach of these focal ranges allowed us to capture stunning portrait images with perfectly blurred backgrounds and a razor-sharp focus on the subject.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The AI Aura Light Portrait feature took these shots to the next level, adding a soft, studio-like glow that ensured every shot looked professional and polished.<\/p>\n\n\n

<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\nFurthermore, the CIPA 4.0 DSLR-level stabilisation combined with Optical Image Stabilisation (OIS) provided next-level clarity in photos and impressive stabilisation while filming. We even managed to film while running, and the V50 produced professionally stabilised footage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Selfies aren\u2019t an afterthought, either. The 50MP front-facing camera delivers crisp, flattering results with excellent skin tone accuracy, and its 92-degree wide angle allows for stunning group shots.<\/p>\n\n\n

When accounting for the 90W FlashCharge, the result was an impressive six hours of phone calls or three hours of video streaming with only a 10-minute charge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
All of this impressive performance was housed in a sleek, stylish, and sturdy chassis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
vivo equipped the V50 with an IP68 rating and double-strengthened Corning Gorillas Glass 2 for superior dust and water resistance \u2013 even promising underwater photography up to 1.5 metres.<\/p>\n\n\n
