You’re with friends, ready to take the perfect group photo, but getting that flawless portrait shot can be a struggle—whether it’s poor lighting or a lack of sharp details. The Vivo V40 changes all of that. With its cutting-edge portrait photography capabilities and picture-perfect features, it captures every detail with precision, ensuring everyone looks their best, no matter the angle.

Thanks to its collaboration with ZEISS, the V40’s camera goes beyond standard photography, giving every shot the professional touch it deserves. Whether you’re taking a candid photo or a solo close-up, this phone promises to elevate your photography game and everyday experiences—here’s how it does just that.

Mastering Portrait Perfection

The V40’s 50 MP ZEISS OIS Main Camera redefines portrait photography, delivering unmatched clarity and precision through its cutting-edge 1/1.56-inch Samsung ISOCELL GNJ Sensor. This powerful lens, crafted to meet ZEISS Optics standards, guarantees the sharpest shots—even in tricky low-light conditions.

Paired with the main camera are two lenses: the 50 MP ZEISS Ultra Wide-Angle Camera, ideal for capturing landscapes, and the 50 MP ZEISS Group Selfie Camera, perfect for taking group selfies. Together, these high-performance lenses ensure that every shot, whether wide-angle, portrait, or selfie, is captured with pro-level detail and brilliance.

If you’re someone who’s into sweeping landscapes or bustling street scenes, the V40’s 50 MP ZEISS Ultra Wide-Angle Camera is your next go-to tool. With a pixel count that’s an impressive 6.5 times higher than a standard 8 MP wide-angle camera, this feature takes wide-angle photography to a new level. The 50 MP resolution ensures that every detail is preserved, allowing your wide shots to be more vivid—from the intricate textures of a cityscape to the sprawling visuals of natural vistas.

Picture-Perfect, Your Way

With ZEISS Multifocal Portrait, you can now choose from three professional focal lengths (24 mm, 35 mm, and 50 mm) to match your shooting needs. Whether you’re capturing a scenic landscape or intimate moments at home, the V40 makes it effortless to achieve the perfect shot with just a few adjustments.

These versatile focal lengths let you switch seamlessly between wide-angle travel shots and close-up, emotionally rich portraits. The intuitive portrait mode gives you the flexibility to frame your subject exactly as you envision, making every shot feel tailor-made.

Visuals and Video, Redefined

Not only does the V40 excel in still photography, but its video capabilities are equally impressive, delivering a cinematic experience with a click. Equipped with ZEISS Cinematic Video Bokeh, the V40 introduces a distinctive oval blur effect, giving your videos a film aesthetic that instantly stands out. Enhanced by AI-driven depth calculation, this feature creates a natural, softly blurred background while keeping your subject sharply in focus. Paired with the exclusive 2.39:1 cinematic aspect ratio, your videos achieve a professional, widescreen look, perfect for creating content with a polished, movie-like quality.

The ZEISS Focus Transition adds another layer of cinematic storytelling. This feature allows for seamless, automatic focus shifts, following the character’s movements based on their gaze direction. By effortlessly transitioning between subjects, the V40 maintains the flow of the scene, ensuring the main character remains the center of attention. Together, these advanced features—ZEISS Cinematic Video Bokeh and ZEISS Focus Transition—transform your video content into a cinematic masterpiece that’s sure to impress across any platform.

Lighting Like a Pro

Lighting can make or break a portrait, and the vivo V40 nails the perfect shot with its upgraded Aura Light and next-level AI 3D Studio Lighting. The Aura Light now shines 33% brighter than its predecessor, bringing pro-level brightness that transforms night portraits into scroll-stopping visuals. Paired with the ZEISS Style Portrait feature, it makes capturing nighttime moments a breeze—and guarantees they’ll pop on your feed.

For the first time, the V40 introduces AI 3D Studio Lighting, which uses advanced AI algorithms for 3D facial light analysis. This technology provides three-dimensional virtual fill light, working alongside the physical Aura Light to enhance facial features even in difficult lighting situations, such as low light or backlighting. By accurately illuminating shadowed areas, it ensures that portraits come out looking effortless. With this dynamic duo you didn’t know you needed, you can snap pro-level shots anywhere, anytime, no matter the environment.

The vivo V40 is set to hit stores soon and will be available in two variants: the 12GB + 256GB model, priced at Php 26,999, and the 12GB + 512GB model, priced at Php 29,999. You can purchase the vivo V40 at concept stores and kiosks nationwide, or conveniently shop online through LazadaShopee, or the official vivo website.
