[ad_1] My comparison focused on the supposed benefits of Vivo’s micro gimbal camera, which means in most cases, it’s the X50 Pro’s 48-megapixel f/1.6 camera versus the S20 Ultra’s beastly 108-megapixel f/1.8 shooter. Coincidentally, both main cameras output 12-megapixel images by way of pixel-binning, except the latter uses 3×3 combos instead of 2×2 to mimic […]

Vivo’s next gaming phone can fully charge in 15 minutes
[ad_1] Vivo has used its lineup of iQOO gaming phones to push the envelope on smartphone tech for a while now, and it looks like the company has a significant new innovation in its next device. A video from the iQOO brand on Weibo shows a new device using the 120W wired fast charging solution […]
Vivo explains the X50 Pro’s gimbal-like camera stabilization
[ad_1] Specifically, this micro gimbal mechanism consists of a magnetic frame controlled by voice coils (similar concept to conventional OIS but further refined), along with a suspension bracket connected to the base with double ball bearings. Together, these enable X- and Y-axis tilt angles of up to 3 degrees each, which is apparently three times […]
Nearly every top-selling smartphone in 2019 was an iPhone or Galaxy
[ad_1] Just where these phones dominated is another matter. It won’t surprise you to hear that Apple ruled North America, taking all of the top five slots, and took two of the top spots in Europe. In most other places, though, it’s a Samsung planet. Samsung had the most top-five phones in Europe, Latin America, […]
Vivo’s new concept phone comes with a ‘gimbal camera’
[ad_1] The 48-megapixel “gimbal camera” below the zoom camera is rather fascinating. As the name suggests, Vivo managed to stuff some sort of “gimbal-like structure” into this camera, so that “it achieves optical stabilisation in the front-back and left-right inclined directions with enhanced performance.” This design was actually inspired by the chameleon’s eyeball, which steadily […]
India is now a larger smartphone market than the US
[ad_1] This isn’t to say non-Chinese brands fared poorly, but the results were mixed. Apple grew quickly at the end of 2019 thanks to iPhone XR price cuts and the debut of the iPhone 11. Samsung, however, saw flat results at the same period and ultimately declined five percent in 2019. It’s not shocking that […]
A closer look at Vivo’s all-glass, port-free concept 5G phone
[ad_1] To jog your memory, APEX is Vivo’s line of concept phones, with the edition that was announced earlier this year being its second model. The pitch? It was some crazy all-glass “Super Unibody” sans buttons nor ports, and boy did it look slick in the press shots. It wasn’t until yesterday — weeks after […]
