Today I am going to talk about the world's first rotating camera smartphone i.e non-other than Vivo X50 Pro.
Generally in the smartphone market, there are two kinds of companies. One, which waits for the other to introduce new and cool features before putting them into their smartphone and there is a second kind who always tries to be the first.
And we can firmly say that Vivo falls into the latter category. They were the first who introduces completely fullscreen phones. The first to use an In-display fingerprint scanner, the first to bring the motorized pop-up camera. Now here they are claiming the next big thing yet again for the smartphone.
Now if someone asks me how the 2020 flagship smartphone should look like, I 'll probably show them this pic.
It got a superb 6.56'' inch, 1080p Super AMOLED display, a fluid 90Hz refresh rate, curved display edges, and a little hole punch camera in the corner. The display is bright and has even smaller bezel than OnePlus 8.
When you look at this phone from the backside, it completely looks alien as it is from another planet.This is because of its stunning camera setup. It has 48MP main big camera, 2X Zoom camera for taking a portrait, an 8MP UltraWide camera, and a 5MP optical zoom camera at the bottom. All these 3 secondary cameras are fairly ordinary-sized, but this Main Camera is just enormous. You could probable live in there 😁.
They call this THE GIMBAL CAMERA. And when I say GIMBAL you would probably immediately think of a smartphone stabilizer. The objective of stabilization is to make sure the camera itself is moving as little as possible. So to achieve this stabilization, there are two existing ways the company uses it.
The first is the Electronic image stabilization and the second is the Optical image stabilization.
We will talk about these two stabilization techniques in a separate blog later now let's continue to concentrate on this GIMBAL part. So what exactly Vivo did to its camera. They have taken OIS (Optical Image Stabilization) to a completely new level. So first of all the camera doesn't just shift around in a flat plane UP and DOWN, LEFT and RIGHT. The Camera actually rotates. So when we actually move or shake our phone, its camera has the ability to correct itself. This ability enhances its OIS to 3 times. This is the first of its kind.
There is another perk to this GIMBAL system when you take photos on low light conditions. Most of the phones will fall apart, they will struggle to piece together the frames needed for stabilization. But because Vivo's got this GIMBAL fall on it, it doesn't need that EIS (Electronic Image Stabilization) that much. It enhances the stability and clarity of the night scene photos by extending the exposure time through F1.6 Aperture and leveraging the AI noise cancellation algorithm at the low level.
The Vivo X50 also comes with some pretty cool features, such as style mode when you are taking pictures in night mode. You can pick between four different modes and each mode produces its own distinct takes on the same scene. It has a rainbow mode and it also has something interesting which Vivo called it Movie Camera. It locks onto the subject and keeps it in a frame at all times.
With all the great and innovative features, there are few cons of this product as well. Like we don't get the IP rating, we don't get the wireless charging and we don't get the latest snapdragon 865 chipset.
Yeah, It doesn't have the so-popular snapdragon 865, but it uses Qualcomm's Snapdragon 765 chipset instead. But don't worry Snapdragon 765 is not that slow what you are thinking. This phone comes with 5G connectivity and super-fast 33W charging. Vivo has managed to fit not only 4315mA battery but also the entire GIMBAL system into the phone that's 8mm thick.
I don't know whether or not it turns out into a huge success, but I do know that it has started a new trend that's going to benefits all smartphones.
Let me know your thoughts in the comment section.
