Zeiss Portrait Master vivo V40 now in Philippines for P26,999

MANILA, Philippines — Get ready for the next level of mobile innovation as vivo officially launches the vivo V40 in the Philippines. Available at a starting price of P26,999 with 12GB RAM and up to 512GB ROM, the vivo V40 combines high-performance hardware with industry-leading photography technology.

The vivo V40 raises the bar for mobile photography with its three 50MP cameras, all developed with ZEISS optics standards.

It also has ZEISS Multifocal Portrait, ZEISS Style Portraits and ZEISS Cinematic Portrait Video that will level up content creation.

Whether it’s daylight or low light, the AI Aura Light and AI 3D Studio Lighting features ensure every portrait is captured with studio-quality precision. 

ZEISS, a global leader in precision optics known for its lenses in professional cameras and scientific tools, is enhancing the camera system of the vivo V40.

Following the success of the vivo V30 Pro, the partnership continues to push the limits of what smartphone cameras can achieve. The vivo V40, equipped with ZEISS-engineered features, empowers users to capture high-quality photos and videos with ease, delivering a professional experience in the palm of their hand.

During the vivo V40 launch, Philstar.com spoke with ZEISS representative Franziska Hoffman about the challenges of integrating the company’s renowned optical technologies into the slim and sleek design of the vivo V40.
