A New Standard of Cinematics Imaging Unfolds with vivo X80 Series

vivo Malaysia today announced the photography flagship vivo X80 series, bringing users the next level of premium mobile experience with new cinematic imaging capabilities in collaboration with ZEISS. Riding on vivo X series’ professional mobile photography foundations, the vivo X80 series – featuring X80 and X80 Pro – continues to demonstrate the relentless pursuit of the perfect user experience in photography and videography with the artistic cinematic mode, top-notch configurations, and technological innovations.

Ground-breaking Professional Imaging Features with ZEISS

Mike Xu, Chief Executive Officer of vivo Malaysia, said: “The vivo X80 series demonstrates our constant pursuit of user-oriented innovation and premium mobile imaging technology. In the successive collaboration with ZEISS, a global leader in optics and opto-electronics, we are once again delivering revolutionary experiences to users who can capture memories and create quality photographs and videos with more dynamics and perspectives.”

Powered by dual chips for professional imaging, the vivo X80 series features extensive upgrades that go beyond the unmatched mobile photography experience, and, for the first time, delivers cinematic style video modes in collaboration with ZEISS. The new ZEISS Cinematic Video Bokeh feature creates a powerful, oval flare bokeh with a 2.39:1 ratio, creating a widescreen cinematic lens effect that can capture highly aesthetic and expressive videos. Meanwhile, users can also create portrait videos with regular lens video bokeh in one tap. The bokeh effect varies to match the focal length, aperture, and shooting distance, and the flares are round, in a 16:9 regular frame.

The vivo X80 series adds ZEISS Cinematic Style Bokeh into its range of ZEISS Superb Portrait feature, enabling users to recreate classic Hollywood aesthetics by applying a film-like bokeh effect combined with artistic long oval flares. The overall effects can be enhanced with vivo cinematic lens simulation algorithm and a dual-camera depth-of-filed technology that combines flare rendering and processing. The technology identifies the brightest point in the picture and elevates it with artistic blue light traits that resemblances blue glares in movie lenses.

vivo maintains its outstanding night scene effects through the ZEISS Superb Night Camera. With upgraded features such as Pure Night View, the X80 series can capture city night scenes while retaining the authentic look and feel of the scene. In addition, the X80 Pro supports XDR Photo, which improves clarity for backlit images and tones that better reflect what the human eyes can see. Night scene performance remains top-notch, thanks to the exclusive ZEISS T* Coating available on all devices, which enhances light transmission to reduce night reflectivity and stray light.

To deliver the ultimate mobile photography experience, vivo’s X80 series also includes ZEISS Natural Colour aided by the series’ first AI Perception Engine to improve colour accuracy and facilitate colour changing and brightness during a shoot. ZEISS Natural Colour is an industry-leading hue shifting technology that reproduces natural colours. Coupled with the AI Perception Engine, it automatically optimises both the accurate exposure and white balance for an authentic shot. This feature upgrade includes the ability to adjust tone brightness, capturing experiences that appear more life-like, refined, and natural.
