AdminVivo officially launches the vivo X90 Series, the company’s latest X series flagship smartphones. Available in two variants, the X90 and X90 Pro series deliver a whole new set of advanced camera features and all-around performance upgrades.
It is powered by a cutting-edge dual flagship chip technology that includes vivo’s exclusive V2 chip, as well as the company’s ongoing collaboration with ZEISS in imaging and camera system innovation, including optics, anti-reflective coating, software, and system integrations.
“The new vivo X90 Series combines our in-house innovation with some of the industry’s leading imaging technologies to bring consumers a smartphone line-up equipped to tackle some of the most challenging scenarios, such as night photography and videography,” said Mike Xu, Chief Executive Officer of vivo Malaysia.
Powerful Imaging Specs, a Big Leap Forward
The new generation of the vivo ZEISS co-engineered imaging system includes hardware upgrades as well as software breakthroughs. It has improved light sensitivity, aperture, natural colour processing, and stabilisation for a simple and straightforward point-and-shoot camera experience. The vivo X90 Series includes three rear camera systems, each with ZEISS T Coating certification.
With a 50MP ZEISS 1-inch Main Camera, a 50MP Portrait Camera with a Large Sensor, and a 12MP Wide-Angle Camera, the vivo X90 Pro pushes the boundaries of smartphone imaging. The vivo X90 Pro’s main camera features a 1-inch IMX989 sensor, the industry’s largest to date.
The vivo X90 Pro’s f/1.75 large aperture and 3.2 m large pixel (4-in-1) size increase light intake per pixel, resulting in brighter, purer night images. When compared to the GNV sensor used in the previous X generation, the new IMX989 sensor has a 77% larger photosensitive area and a 43% larger light intake capacity.
The 50MP Portrait Camera features an ultra-sensing portrait lens, with an IMX758 sensor that helps to achieve an aperture of f/1.6. With the support of the stabilisation system, an exclusive large-aperture lens and 4-in-1 sensor technology, vivo X90 Pro delivers subtly detailed portraits, even in low light.
vivo X90 Pro also introduces an independent optical image stabilisation (OIS) technology developed by vivo, allowing for more intelligent and precise stabilisation correction compared to standard OIS. It also supports Active Centring OIS System, significantly reducing smears between frames and motion blur.
The 50MP VCS True Color Main Camera, a 12MP Professional Portrait Camera, and a 12MP Wide-Angle Camera are all featured on the vivo X90. The VCS True Colour Main Camera optimises the sensor spectrum to better achieve the target RGB colours, improving native image colours, ensuring colour consistency, and lowering noise.
Pro-level Camera Features
The upgraded camera sensors, vivo’s exclusive V2 imaging chip, in-house developed AI algorithms, and ZEISS Optics with T Coating all work together to improve night photography and astrophotography capabilities, making the new vivo X90 Series the ideal stargazing companion. New tools for creating unique and professional-grade content are also introduced.
4K Ultra-Sensing Night Video is now made effortless with vivo’s Super Night Video 3.0 algorithm, supporting exceptional photosensitivity in extremely dark environments. The V2 chip ensures clarity even at high ISO settings with its noise reduction algorithm.
The vivo X90 Pro comes with an overhauled Handheld Astro mode to capture starry sky with greater clarity without the need of a tripod. This feature is supported by the device’s enhanced light sensitivity, upgraded stabilisation technology and a new AI PD Extreme Night focus technology, that improves focus accuracy.
Taking landscape moon photos is made possible with the Super Moon mode, available on both the vivo X90 and X90 Pro, which combines the hardware upgrades and the new Super Night 3.0 algorithm. At the blue hour, the period just before sunrise or after sunset where the sun dips below the horizon, vivo’s sky-segmentation technology optimises blue-tone colours while its Double Exposure algorithm integrates the landscape and the moon into one stunning image.
The AI Night View feature addresses the issue of getting the right tone in night photos. AI Night View, which is powered by AI network learning, can shoot up to ten frames in RAW while maintaining a high dynamic range. It recognises elements in night scenes such as the sky and human faces and performs segmentation to fine-tune the tone and colour of each segment. For more subtle colour transitions, it processes HDR tones with a colour depth of up to 22 bits.
ZEISS Natural Color 2.0 in the new vivo X90 Series has been further calibrated to present colours with more authenticity and accuracy, bringing captured images closer to what is seen with the naked eye.
For the first time, a new ZEISS Natural Color Display is now added to screen colour style settings, ensuring the captured colours are not affected by the display. Now every individual display of the vivo X90 and vivo X90 Pro gets calibrated to guarantee that the colour rendition of the display is close to perfect.
Another powerful creation feature is the Zero-Shutter-Lag Motion Snapshot, which makes capturing motion easier than ever before. The zero-second delay means what you see is what you get in key moments, even in low light settings. In Sports mode and Night Sports mode, the combination of the high-speed shutter and motion detection algorithm can instantly freeze frames, keeping any fast-moving subject clear.
The series also brings new creative effects jointly developed by vivo and ZEISS. The new ZEISS Cine-flare Portrait style simulates the flare effect seen in many classic films. Users can also capture unique miniature landscapes using the ZEISS Miniature Effect. This effect only keeps a small part of a landscape image sharp to generate the illusion of a miniature scene with no post-editing needed.
