As we mark yet another milestone for vivo flagship smartphones in collaboration with ZEISS, we plan to constantly innovate and strive to bring the most premium mobile imaging technology for our consumers. We have received phenomenal response for our previous X series offerings and have witnessed steady growth in the premium segment. We are expecting to set a new benchmark for premium smartphone photography and videography experience with the new X90 series by addressing the varying needs of our consumers, including extreme low-light photography and videography. X90 series goes even further, resolving night photography and videography difficulties that have long challenged the industry and consumers. Offering top-notch experience, the X90 series surely packs the best of everything, from professional imaging technology to stellar design and performance.”
vivo X90 Pro features the ZEISS 1-inch Main Camera along with Industry’s largest IMX989 sensor, which brings increased light sensitivity to capture high-detail and clear images in extreme low light. The new sensor has a photosensitive area increased by 77% and light intake capacity by 43% which allows it to capture brighter and cleaner night images. It also features one of the Industry’s best 50MP Portrait Camera with a large IMX758 Sensor comprising a large aperture of f/1.6 with OIS. With the support of the stabilization system, an exclusive large-aperture lens, and 4-in-1 sensor technology, X90 Pro can click artistic portraits with more subtle details and smoother transitions between subject and background, even in extreme low-light scenes.
X90 Pro introduces independent optical image stabilization (OIS) technology, developed by vivo, allowing for more intelligent and precise stabilization correction compared to standard OIS. It also supports Active Centering OIS System with CIPA Level 4 standard stabilization, significantly reducing smears between frames and motion blur.
vivo X90 features a 50MP VCS True Color main camera with IMX866 sensor, a 12MP Portrait camera, and a 12MP ultra-wide camera. The main camera brings spectrum computation technology introduced by vivo & Sony jointly that makes image data received by the sensor look similar to what the naked eye sees, thereby delivering more authentic colors. Compared to the previous generation, it now has a 20% improvement in noise reduction and a 15% improvement in color reproduction to ensure color consistency.
Both smartphones also come with the new generation Pro Imaging Chip V2, which works in sync with the smartphone’s primary chipset. The advancements in the new generation enable users to capture videos in extreme low light conditions, offering excellent noise reduction for Night videos while consuming less power. In addition, the V2 chip’s Game Frame Interpolation makes playing games at 90 frames per second run as smoothly as playing games at 120 frames per second.
For enthusiasts who love to capture the star-lit sky, X90 Pro now also brings the new Handheld Astro mode, eliminating the need for a tripod to capture the starry sky full of stars with the landscape. Along with this, smartphones have the capabilities to capture motion pictures in both day and night conditions. The Pro Sports and Night sports mode has a Zero Shutter Lag Motion Snapshot feature that combines the high-speed shutter and motion detection algorithm, which can instantly freeze the frame, making subjects look clear without any blur in motion scenarios.
X90 series are the latest devices coming out of the vivo and ZEISS Imaging Partnership, which has been in the works for nearly three years. It brings a number of advancements and Industry first features to provide superior photography and videography experience.
Bringing the Industry’s best portrait features, the X90 series now brings the newly added ZEISS Cine-flare Portrait that simulates the effect which people usually see in many classic films. Under a strong light source in the background, it generates a nice-looking flare. Along with this, the smartphones also feature Cinematic, Biotar, Planar, Distagon, & Sonnar from the previous generation that are now available even in the front camera.
To enable consumers to capture the true-to-life details, the X90 series features the updated ZEISS Natural Color 2.0 which has improved color cast accuracy, and saturation adjustment, making the pictures look more real and natural. ZEISS Natural Color 2.0 is assisted by AI Perception Engine 2.0 which automatically adjusts live exposure and white balance to capture images that are as close to what the human eye can see.
For extreme clarity and imaging experience, the number of lenses on the X90 Pro has been increased to 8 (7P + 1G) with ZEISS T* Coating on 7 lens pieces compared to 2 in the previous generation. ZEISS T* Coating in 7 lenses reduces light reflection between the lenses, thereby eliminating ghosting, & producing cleaner images with less glare.
In addition, the X90 series brings the all-new ZEISS Landscape and Architecture Mode. It comes with the Miniature Effect feature and Automatic Perspective Correction (APC) that gives a new creative approach to photography. The Miniature Effect feature is realized in Tilt-shift and introduces algorithm blur during imaging to turn the real world into a miniature landscape. Automatic Perspective Correction enables consumers to see tall building perspective correction in preview, resulting in horizontally and vertically aligned images in a single click.
Both X90 and X90 Pro come with a dual-chip flagship chipset, and large batteries with superfast charging capabilities to provide an unparalleled user experience. The dual-chip setup comprises India’s first MediaTek Dimensity 9200 chipset paired with a Pro Imaging V2 chip for ground-breaking flagship performance. X90 Pro comes with LPDDR5X, while vivo X90 also comes with LPDDR5, paired with UFS 4.0 storage. In addition, X90 Pro has a large VC of 4002mm², 35% larger over the X80 Pro, the largest ever for X series phones so far. With the help of multiple cooling channels and a 24-layer cooling structure, both phones can run at optimal temperatures even at peak processing.
X90 series brings TÜV Rheinland-certified 120W FlashCharge, which has 24 dimensions of security protection for the first time in the vivo X series. vivo X90 houses a 4810 mAh battery and the vivo X90 Pro comes with a 4870 mAh battery with 50W Wireless FlashCharge as well. X90 Series offers two charging modes, and the Rapid mode in both X90 and X90 Pro can charge the smartphones to 50% in about 8 minutes and 100% in 27 minutes.
X90 and X90 Pro have a 6.78-inch Ultra Vision Eye Protection Screen, bringing cinema-like display effects along with professional-grade eye protection. The 3D curved screen features a larger viewing area, 1.07 billion colors, 100% DCI-P3 wide color gamut HDR10+ support, and a refresh rate of up to 120Hz, making the smartphones ideal for binge-watching and gaming. The display also has a new ZEISS Natural color mode to give you accurate and more natural screen colors.
X90 Series brings 3 Level Eye Protection for the first time at both hardware and software levels. The chip-level Smart Eye Protection Mode, developed by vivo and MediaTek, intelligently monitors and controls the proportion of blue light on a real-time basis while balancing the colors. Furthermore, the display is made of a new luminescent material with pulse width modulation of up to 2160Hz, which also effectively reduces blue light, providing the ultimate eye protection. The smartphones also boast a Dual Stereo Speaker setup and an X-Axis Linear Motor for a more immersive audiovisual experience and rich tactile feedback.
X90 series adopts a new design language, drawing inspiration from natural scenery and cleverly blending mathematics and aesthetics to strike the perfect balance between imaging capabilities and aesthetics. The smartphones carry a Skyline design with Big Eye Camera Module Halo Ring with surgical grade stainless steel in X90 Pro with Corning Gorilla Glass protection for the camera module and an ultra-hard, anti-reflective coating on the surface.
