Vivo has been teasing the launch of its flagship X50 series smartphones for a few weeks and now the Chinese company has officially unveiled both the devices in its home market. Vivo has also said that the phone will be rolled out globally in H2 2020.
The company has launched three devices in the lineup — X50, X50 Pro, and X50 Pro+, however, only the Pro model comes with the gimbal camera system.
Vivo X50 and X50 Pro
The smartphones features a 6.56-inch AMOLED Full HD+ display offering a screen resolution of 2376 x 1080 pixels and a 90Hz refresh rate. There’s also an in-display fingerprint sensor for added protection. Additionally, the Pro version comes with a curved design, making it first such phone in the X-series.
Both the devices are powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 765G SoC with 8 GB LPDDR4X RAM. On the front side, both the phones have a 32 MP snapper for taking selfies and video calling.
On the back, the smartphones features a quad-camera setup that includes a 48 MP Sony IMX598 main camera, a 13 MP portrait lens, an 8 MP wide-angle sensor, and a 5 MP macro lens. The main camera supports four-axis OIS, and up to 60x digital zoom.
However, the main difference between the devices is that the X50 Pro comes with a gimbal camera system which provides increased stability. It extends the rotation angle and anti-shake area significantly compared to the standard OIS systems nowadays.
