vivo has made the V40 official in the Philippines as the brand’s most affordable offering to be co-engineered with ZEISS. This makes the V40 a more competitive midrange phone for photography–especially when you have ZEISS’ expertise on board.
This also means that the V40 gets the ZEISS features we appreciated from the V30 Pro–and more. We explore some of the ZEISS features found on the V40 and show how it can level up your content creation:
ZEISS Natural Color
As a seasoned optics manufacturer, ZEISS is known for the color rendition of its lenses–and you get that natural look with the V40. Using ZEISS natural color tweaks the V40’s post-processing algorithm to make images more natural and color-accurate to what our eyes see. Having this tweak on the V40’s camera allows you to take professional-quality portraits without the need to bring a separate camera along with you.
ZEISS Cinematic
The V series are great phones for content creation, and the V40 can be used for filmmaking as well with ZEISS Cinematic, where you get to shoot at a 21:9 aspect ratio and 24FPS in Full HD for that cinematic look using the 50-megapixel main camera. You also get good depth of field using this mode, along with OIS+EIS and tap to focus to give you steady and sharp footage.
ZEISS Multifocal Portait
A new feature that makes its debut on the V40, ZEISS Multifocal portrait makes the most out of the 50-megapixel main camera to simulate three classic focal lengths used in photography: namely 24mm, 35mm, and 50mm. Utilizing digital zoom and complex algorithms, the V40 can shoot photos that are close to the said focal lengths–all while maintaining that trademark ZEISS look.
ZEISS Style Bokeh
The V40’s portrait mode also has the ZEISS style bokeh feature that debuted initially with the V30 Pro. This lets you choose between 7 different bokeh modes to give you more creative control over how the background blur will appear.
Paired with the V40’s low-light performance, this allows you to take quality portrait shots with a nice artistic effect to make your photos stand out when you post them on social media.
BONUS: AI Erase
Completing the V40’s set of tools for photography is AI Eraser, which is a handy tool for cleaning up images free from photobombers and unsightly details.
The V40’s AI Eraser is easy to use, with Smart Circle being intelligent enough to detect details that you want out of your image. The whole process is fast: it only took a few seconds for the V40 to clean up unsightly details in the photo.
The vivo V40 is priced at Php 26,999 for the 12GB/256GB model and Php 29,999 for the 12GB/512GB model in the Philippines. The V40 is also available in Shopee, Lazada, vivo Website, and authorized vivo stores nationwide.
