Vivo’s Trailblazing Smartphone Developments that Stunned the Tech World

The competition in the mobile industry can be very stiff with new technology coming out one right after the next. But global smartphone brand Vivo has outplayed its competitors with innovations that made a mark in the mobile industry.

1. Over 20-MP front cameras 
The world has been obsessed with taking selfies to document one’s everyday life or the most cherished moments. But for years, not all smartphone brands took a special interest in developing their front cameras. Vivo, working hard to understand its patrons, revolutionized the selfie game when it came out with a 20-megapixel dual front camera in V5 Plus. It is the first smartphone brand to do so, and now others are trying hard to catch up.

It was then followed up by the whopping 24-MP front camera in V7, V7+, and the V9, proving that Vivo never stops pushing the limits in perfecting the features that matter most to its patrons. In fact, Vivo V7+ was hailed as the best selfie phone in 2017 by many tech blogs and sites.

2. Bezel-less screens
Aside from its selfie-centric developments, Vivo is also a leader in enhancing every patron’s screen display experience. 

Vivo at the Mobile World Congress 2018 in Barcelona, Spain last February revealed a concept phone called the APEX™ FullView™. It features a typical 5.99-inch screen, but its screen-to-body ratio nearly reaches 100%. This proves that Vivo is committed to producing a genuine bezel-less smartphone in the market.

In fact, its newest flagship smartphone, the V9, is getting closer to Vivo’s ultimate goal—it boasts of a 90% screen-to-body ratio with its 6.3-inch FullView™ Display.

3. In-display fingerprint scanner   

These innovative developments may be enough for some but Vivo does not want to be the second best. It is also a pioneer in developing ultramodern yet convenient unlocking methods. Vivo has recently revealed that it has advanced the fingerprint scanning method by making the technology available on a screen. It debuted the first ready-to-produce in-display fingerprint scanning solution at the Consumer Electronics Show 2018 in Las Vegas last January.

Vivo is also the first ever smartphone brand that dedicated a Hi-Fi quality audio chip in its models, making it the first brand that gave proper attention to its handsets’ sound quality.

This is quite a lot of achievements for Vivo, especially in an industry that is unforgiving to those slow to innovate. In fact, these developments Vivo introduced have earned the smartphone brand a spot among the trailblazers. And, it seems like the global smartphone company will not slow down on its pursuit of perfection anytime soon.

Vivo Continues to Usher the Industry to the Future

When young global smartphone brand Vivo entered the mobile industry, the market was dominated by two or three names. But in a matter of years, Vivo changed the game.  

Vivo has been determined to break barriers and introduce technology that ushered the industry into the future. After all, it was Vivo that introduced a 20-megapixel dual front camera in V5 Plus and a 24MP front camera in V7, V7+, and V9.

The V5 is the first smartphone with a 20MP camera.

The V5 was then followed by the release of the V5Plus (left) and V5s (right), both with 20MP selfie camera. The V5Plus, meanwhile, has a 20MP+8MP dual rear camera.

Aside from the selfie camera, Vivo also paid attention to the users’ need for a bigger screen. Earlier this year, Vivo released the ultimate iteration of a concept smartphone, the APEX™ FullView™, which nearly has a 100% screen-to-body display. The V9, Vivo’s newest flagship, is getting closer to goal with its 90% screen-to-body ratio.

Vivo is also the first to introduce the in-display fingerprint scanner that gives users another method to unlock their smartphones.

Vivo then introduced the first smartphones with 24MP front camera, the V7+ (left) and V7 (right).

Vivo then released the upgrade to its cameras, the V9 with a 24MP AI Selfie Camera and 16MP+5MP dual rear camera.

It is still a wonder what Vivo will do next. For instance, it wowed the tech world with its bezel-less APEX concept smartphone because of its pop-up selfie camera to achieve the 100% screen-to-body ratio.

Helping the brand unlock the next best thing in the mobile industry are 2,200 dedicated research and development personnel in several R&D centers worldwide—in San Diego, United States and in China, specifically in Shenzhen, Dongguan, Nanjing, Hangzhou, and Beijing.

With all its development, it is no doubt that the young smartphone brand is already leading the pack to the future.

Unboxing the Alcatel Flash 2

Good packaging, nice camera resolution, reasonable pricing.. These are some of my first impressions of the Alcatel Flash 2.

The Alcatel Flash 2 was first introduced couple of weeks ago. Fresh with their brand color " Flash Green" signifying innovation, youth energy. One mobile feature of the Alcatel Flash 2 stands out is providing mobile users a unique mobile experience - MOBIGRAPHY.

Launched exclusively in Lazada PH last September 30 at exactly 12 noon was a blast as it was sold out in couple of hours.

FEATURES:

• 5-inch HD Crystal Clear IPS Display
• 1.3GHz MediaTek MT6753 Octa-core Processor
• Android Lollipop
• 2GB RAM
• 16GB Internal Storage
• 13-megapixel rear camera with Real Tone Flash, f/2.0 aperture
• 5-megapixel front camera with LED Flash
• 3000mAh battery
• Dual 4G LTE dual-SIM

I was able to do a bit of a test drive of the Alcatel Flash 2 during Lazada's Unboxing Session.

The packaging is pretty impressive. I have never heard or saw a phone package that includes a leather casing and screen protector. I usually purchased such items separately.

Screen size is good enoough. Touchscreen responsive is also good. I wasn't able to robustly test the battery life and other apps like games. But I was able to check bluetooth connectivity. It took a while for me to pair my HTC Incredible S to the Flash 2. Luckily, the pairing was a success.

In every mobile phone I was able to get hands on is to test the camera. 13MP resolution of the rear camera is impressive, as well as the 5MP front camera. Perfect for those who loves doing selfie. To my surprise, the Alcatel Flash 2 has a time lapse capability. Love it!

How I wish there was more time to check the unit but our time ran out. Lucky for those who got picked in the raffle to own some of the units.

Looking forward of attending another unboxing session.
