Advancing Mobile Imaging Together with ZEISS

The X70 series is deeply interwoven with premium mobile image software and hardware features co-engineered with ZEISS, a legend in the world of optics for 175 years, reflecting vivo’s commitment to driving the area of smartphone photography.

Inside and out, the vivo X70 series includes top-notch computational imaging technologies, resulting in an intuitive photographic experience that allows users to shoot or film stunningly natural-looking photos and movies. On the camera front, the whole X70 family boasts 32MP front cameras, with rear quad-camera arrays on the X70 Pro (50MP + 12MP+ 12MP + 8MP), and a tri-camera system on the X70 (40MP + 12MP + 12MP).

In addition to the Biotar Portrait Style’s famed swirly bokeh, vivo has included three breakthrough ZEISS Style Portrait features for X70 series users to shoot with – inspired by the iconic, classic lenses Distagon, Planar, and Sonnar. The “Distagon” style has an anamorphic appearance and provides dynamic perspective effects for crucial architecture and interior photography with Hollywood filmmaking aesthetics. The “Planar” adaptation introduces classic bokeh effects to portrait photography, showing true traits and communicating authentic expressions. The “Sonnar” mode is recognised for its creamy bokeh, which makes it ideal for portraiture with depth and clarity to capture real-life occurrences.

The whole vivo X70 family has gained ZEISS T* Coating certification, reducing reflections and improving light transmission to decrease ghosting, stray light, and other image distortions for guaranteed imaging brilliance. The recognizable ZEISS logo and ZEISS T* Coating label are stamped on the X70 series’ rear camera array, while a ZEISS Vario-Tessar trademark has been subtly engraved on its protruding flashlight panel.

High-End Professional Photography Flagship

The X70 series incorporates new technologies as well as the most recent incarnations of vivo’s legendary multi-modal photography and videography functions, allowing users to fully express their creativity in high-definition and create vibrant multi-media content without sacrificing quality.

Users can take steady images or videos in dynamic motion with the X70 series’ Ultra-Sensing Gimbal Camera and Gimbal Stabilization 3.0 technology. The X70 Pro and X70 include VIS 5-Axis Ultra Stable Video technology, which combines increased OIS with EIS to transition the X/Y-axis with Z-axis rotation for well-rounded stability.

A suite of vivo’s multi-modal photography and videography features – including Real-Time Extreme Night Vision, Super Night Video, Pure Night View, Pro Cinematic Mode, and more – are available on the X70 series thanks to the high-performing device imaging capabilities, allowing users to unleash their potential and explore a variety of new visual aesthetics.

Top-Line Performance Gains

The X70 series lineup comprises of two powerhouse devices with specs that can satisfy even the most demanding high-performance smartphone user. It is vivo’s premium flagship that is reinventing mobile imaging.

The MediaTek Dimensity 1200-vivo chip powers the X70 Pro and X70 devices, delivering unparalleled CPU and GPU performance. Using LPDDR4X and UFS 3.1 for lightning-fast sequential reading and writing rates, these power-efficient integrated processors allow consumers to get the most out of 5G connectivity every day.

Despite their slim and compact design, the X70 Pro and X70 models are equipped with 4450 mAh (TYP) or 4400 mAh (TYP) batteries, as well as a vivo standard charger (FlashCharge 11V / 4A) that supports 44W FlashCharge technology for long-lasting performance.

The X70 Pro and X70 devices have 6.56-inch panels with a maximum refresh rate of 120Hz and a response rate of 240Hz for seamless scrolling and watching.

Perennial Design and Seamless Interface

Vivo has gone all out on the X70 series to ensure timeless style with a robust build to meet the demands of an ultimate professional photography flagship smartphone. The X70 series devices have been encased in crystalline glass with a prismatic surface that emits fluorescent effects under the light, thanks to Fluorite AG, a breakthrough industrial design method invented by vivo.

The back cameras on the X70 Pro and X70 are housed in vivo’s innovative Cloud Valley design, which boldly splits the camera array and flashlight into two opposing panels.

Cosmic Black and Aurora Dawn colours are available on the X70 Pro and X70 models. Cosmic Black is a colorway inspired by our universe’s unending vigour and exuberant vibrancy, a wide and deep darkness sprinkled with brilliant silver hues to depict the stars during a pitch-black night. Aurora Dawn is an homage to the iridescent radiance of the Northern Lights in the polar sky, an eye-catching and gorgeous complexion. 

The vivo X70 series is the first to include Funtouch OS 12, which offers a more efficient, immersive, and customizable user experience. Funtouch OS 12 introduces a new collection of widgets to let users manage and customise their home screens, rethinking how apps present critical information without requiring users to open the app, allowing them to personalise their phone experience and obtain rapid access to what matters to them. The newly introduced Nano Music Player also creates a hassle-free music experience by allowing users to access their favorite music from several apps, such as Spotify, with just one click and from a single widget on the home screen.

vivo TWS 2 bringing a new realm of sound quality

The X70 series comes with the latest vivo TWS 2 earbuds, the ideal companion to fully experience the X70 series. The vivo TWS 2 has automatic noise cancellation (ANC) technology that can detect ambient noise and alter the amount of noise cancellation automatically using clever algorithms. Transparency Mode on the earbuds allows users to listen to their surroundings and stay aware without having to take them out.

DeepX 2.0 stereo sound effects are included with the TWS 2 earbuds, a professional sound effect system designed specifically for in-ear earbuds and including three separate sound effects that have been rigorously fine-tuned to perfection. It’s like having a group of world-class musicians perform any type of music exclusively for you. The earbuds also provide 7.3 hours of audio playback (without noise cancellation) from a single charge and 29 hours if they include the charging case.
