SHENZHEN, China, Aug. 7, 2024
/PRNewswire/ -- vivo today unveiled the new V40
series, including V40 and V40 Pro, its latest smartphones
designed to elevate the mobile portrait photography experience.
Featuring a professional-grade portrait system co-engineered with
ZEISS, V40 series empowers users to capture portraits and videos
that tell their story in stunning quality. V40 and V40 Pro also
boast a powerful battery, all housed in a sleek, lightweight design
- making them vivo's slimmest devices with a 5500
mAh[1] battery to date.
"With V40 series, we've focused on blending powerful mobile
portrait photography, lasting battery performance and sleek design
as a way to enhance the overall user experience. We partnered with
ZEISS to co-engineer a professional-level portrait system that
provides endless opportunities for creativity and self-expression,"
said Yongduan Zhou, General Manager of the Overseas Product
Department at vivo. "The long-lasting battery, effortless
performance, immersive display, and intuitive interface ensure that
users can stay connected, productive, and entertained throughout
their day. We think of each device as more than a smartphone, it is
a companion that enhances every aspect of your digital life."
All you Need for Portrait Photography
V40 series is meticulously engineered for professional-level
portrait photography. Both V40 and V40 Pro achieve the quality and
imaging performance standards jointly defined by vivo and ZEISS.
This ensures the exceptional image quality and creative control
that ZEISS Optics are known for.
Users can capture every detail with the 50 MP ZEISS OIS Main
Camera[2], available on both models. The 50 MP ZEISS OIS
Main Camera[3] on V40 Pro uses the new 1/1.56-inch Sony
IMX921 sensor, while V40 features the 1/1.56-inch
Samsung ISOCELL GNJ Sensor. Both models have an f/1.88
aperture that enhances light intake, ensuring clear portraits and
landscape photos at night. The powerful Optical Image Stabilization
(OIS) further reduces blur and achieves a 2.8x[4] light
intake for consistently sharp and bright images.
For capturing portraits or distant subjects with remarkable
clarity, V40 Pro boasts an exclusive 50 MP ZEISS Telephoto Portrait
Camera[5]. This camera features the Sony IMX816 sensor
and allows for 2x optical zoom and up to 50x ZEISS Ultra HD
Zoom.
Both V40 and V40 Pro feature a 50 MP ZEISS Ultra Wide-Angle
Camera[6] with an f/2.0 aperture and autofocus
tracking. With an ultrawide 119° angle[7] and
powerful autofocus, it is ideal for capturing stunning
landscapes or group portraits, ensuring everyone fits in the photo.
At the front, the 50 MP ZEISS Group Selfie Camera[8] is
equipped with smart autofocus, helping users take detailed and
colorful selfies. The front camera image quality is further
improved thanks to the AI Facial Contouring Technology that
effectively reduces common facial distortion[9] issues,
including protruding or enlarged facial features, resulting in more
natural-looking portraits.
The new V40 series goes beyond the ordinary with innovative
features that empower creativity. With ZEISS Multifocal Portrait,
users can integrate professional portrait focal lengths into their
mobile photography. V40 Pro offers 24 mm, 35 mm, 50 mm, 85 mm, and
100 mm focal lengths, while V40 supports 24 mm, 35 mm and 50 mm.
For a seamless point-and-shoot experience, V40 series offers
master-level professional portrait templates tailored to various
scenarios. Each focal length offers optimized color tones and is
paired with a corresponding ZEISS Style Bokeh, offering a variety
of powerful portrait effects.
V40 series is optimized for movie-like video content with
options to shoot cinematic videos in 4K. V40 and V40 Pro offer ZEISS Cinematic Bokeh
Video that creates a unique oval bokeh and a 2:39:1 aspect ratio,
lending a classic film aesthetic to any video creation. The
movie-like style is further enhanced with ZEISS Focus Transition.
With this feature, the focus switches smoothly and follows the main
character automatically based on the direction they are facing. The
protagonist in the video remains the highlight, creating a
movie-like atmosphere.
Bringing Studio-Quality Lighting with a Smarter Aura
Light
V40 series redefines portrait lighting with the upgraded AI Aura
Light Portrait. V40 Pro boasts a smaller Aura Light which, when
using 2x zoom, is three times brighter compared to its predecessor
and 50 times softer compared to a regular flash[10]. The
newly upgraded electronically controlled dimming technology
optimizes lighting according to portrait scenarios, ensuring clear
and bright faces even at 4x zoom.
Both V40 and V40 Pro feature Studio-Quality professional fill
light, enhancing depth and dimensionality. The new AI 3D Studio
Lighting helps enhance image quality by adding precise and natural
fill light for challenging lighting conditions. AI 3D Studio
Lighting utilizes advanced AI algorithms for 3D facial light
recognition analysis, offering an additional layer of 3D fill light
to enhance the portraits taken in low light or at night. The Aura
Light capabilities have been extended to include indoor backlit
scenarios and support all focal lengths. Users can now also use it
to capture stunning images of family and friends with the Festival
Portrait style, including two distinct LUTs that enhance the
festive feel with carefully calibrated colors. Further, the new
Dynamic Light feature allows the Aura Light on the back of the
phone to be used in various scenarios, such as message notification
flash and photo countdown flash.
Smooth Performance with a Powerful Battery that Lasts
V40 series is designed to keep up with users' active lifestyle.
The large 5500 mAh BlueVolt battery allows users to listen to music
for up to 63 hours[11]. When the battery is low, users
can rely on the 80W FlashCharge Technology and Fast charging
Mode[12] to quickly power up and stay connected.
vivo has engineered a high-capacity battery within a slim body
by employing a range of innovative technologies. Using
second-generation silicon-carbon anode, the battery achieves a 20%
higher[13] energy density, and the capacity is increased
by approximately 1,000 mAh[14] compared with regular
batteries of the same size.
Effortless Performance and Immersive Entertainment
V40 series delivers a seamless user experience for work and
entertainment. V40 Pro is powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 9200+
Flagship Chipset, while V40 utilizes the Qualcomm Snapdragon® 7 Gen
3 Mobile Platform. Both models support up to 12GB + 12GB Extended
RAM[15], providing larger memory space and smooth
switching between apps. Users can multitask effortlessly with over
40 apps[16] running in the background.
For an immersive entertainment experience, V40 series has
1.5K Ultra Clear Sunlight Display
(AMOLED) and 3D curved screen. The 120 Hz refresh rate ensures
smooth visuals, while the peak brightness reaches 4500 nits, 60.7%
higher than the previous generation, providing a clear and vibrant
display even under bright sunlight. V40 series comes with a triple
SGS certification for low blue light, low flicker and low motion
blur, promoting eye health and ensuring comfortable viewing in
various lighting conditions[17].
For the first time in the V series, V40 series introduces a Dual
Stereo Speaker system, delivering 3D stereo sound with balanced and
rich bass. This elevates the audio experience for videos, music,
and games.
Exquisite Yet Durable Slim Design in Four Show-stopping
Colors
V40 series combines durability and elegance within a slim and
lightweight form. V40 and V40 Pro are built to last with a
Comprehensive Cushioning Structure that provides enhanced shock
absorption, while the protective glass is made from
high-performance Schott α, increasing drop resistance by
47%[18].
The V40 series devices are the slimmest vivo phones with a 5500
mAh battery to date, measuring only 7.58 mm in
thickness[19]. The 3D curved screen offers a comfortable
grip and immersive visual experience. V40 series also showcases a
stunning redesigned camera module, now featuring a Gemini Ring
Design. Inspired by the Gemini constellation, the camera module
complements the overall design craftsmanship, adding a touch of
luxury.
V40 series introduces four new colors. Nebula Purple (V40 only)
is a gray-toned purple shade, featuring delicate Fluorite AG
shimmer. Sunglow Peach (V40 only) is a warm, sunrise-inspired peach
color with a glossy glass finish and dynamic magnetic ink textures.
Meteor Blue (V40 & V40 Pro) has a pure blue hue with a glossy
transparent texture that adds a dynamic effect. Moonlight White
(V40 & V40 Pro) is a soft interplay of blue and white hues with
an Anti-Fingerprint Coating. Stellar Silver (V40 & V40 Pro) is
an elegant colorway that uses AG technology for enhanced scratch
and fingerprint resistance.
