Vivo just launched the X50 series in China. The company introduced three new devices in the X50 line up, including the Vivo X50, X50 Pro, and X50 Pro+. All three phones in the new X50 series utilise a primary camera with heavy-duty stabilisation. The management said the new phones offer 'professional-grade camera technologies' and are the first phones to feature a gimbal system for image and video stabilisation.
Vivo X50 Pro Plus The Vivo X50 Pro+ is the only flagship in the line up, powered by a Snapdragon 865 chipset with the X55 5G modem. The phone packs a 4,315 mAh battery with 44W fast charging support. The X50 Pro Plus sports a 6.56-inch FHD+ OLED screen with a 120Hz refresh rate. The screen features noticeable curvature on the edges with an under-display fingerprint reader.
On the back, the X50 Pro+ gets a quad-camera setup. The Vivo X50 Pro+ is the first smartphone to feature Samsung's new 50-megapixel ISOCELL GN1 1/1.3" sensor. The other three sensors include an 8-megapixel, periscope camera, an 8-megapixel ultra-wide snapper, and a 13-megapixel standard telephoto shooter.
The periscope camera features an f/3.0 lens with around 5x optical zoom and 50x hybrid zoom. The ultra-wide shooter offers a 120-degree field of view and can also be used for macro shots. The final telephoto camera is a regular 2x zoom camera. Vivo claims that the combination of motion de-blur algorithm and continuous focus tracing make videos and stills look amazing at night.
Vivo X50 Pro The X50 Pro is a mid-range smartphone, powered by the Snapdragon 765G chipset with an integrated 5G modem. The phone sports a 6.56-inch FHD+ OLED panel with a 90Hz refresh rate and noticeable screen curvature. The Vivo X50 Pro is equipped with a 4,315 mAh battery and 33W fast charging support.
The Vivo X50 Pro's main camera features gimbal-style stabilisation that promises to deliver advanced stabilisation unseen on any other smartphone. The X50 Pro packs a 48-megapixel Sony IMX598 sensor with an f/1.6 aperture. The other three cameras are nearly identical except for the periscope module that offers a slightly slower f/3.4 aperture.
Vivo X50 The Vivo X50 sports similar specifications to its 'Pro' counterpart with a few differences. The standard X50 has a smaller 4,200 mAh battery, a flat OLED panel, and regular OIS, instead of gimbal stabilisation. The vanilla Vivo X50 is the thinnest 5G phone measuring just 7.49mm.
All three phones opt for a punch-hole camera cutout with a 32-megapixel selfie shooter. There is a difference in the aperture on the selfie shooters with the X50 featuring an f/2.48 lens and the X50 Pro and Pro+ offering an f/2.45 lens.
