vivo and ZEISS first announced their collaboration in 2020, and since then they have co-engineered a number of mobile phone camera systems together. One of the most recent products of their collaboration is the vivo V40 series which boasts pro portrait photography features. So how good are the cameras exactly, and how does the partnership between vivo and ZEISS work?
vivo invited us to Germany to visit the ZEISS headquarters in Oberkochen to see how deeply ZEISS is involved in designing and building the camera systems for some of vivo’s flagship devices. We also got the chance to tour the ZEISS Museum of Optics, and do a series of photo walks around Marienplatz and Olympiapark in Munich, as well as an idyllic town called Aalen near Oberkochen using the vivo V40 5G.
What’s our verdict on the vivo V40? It is indeed good for portrait photography, and quite underrated for how fun it is for street photography. The phone’s camera is fun and simple enough to use that taking a good photo is almost too easy.
