vivo V30

The highly-anticipated vivo V30 series, which features a ZEISS camera system, has finally been released in the Philippines.

The latest V series smartphones’ launch officially marks the start of vivo’s partnership with the German optics leader, bringing highly-capable cameras to vivo’s popular midrange line.

The series-headlining vivo V30 Pro features four 50MP cameras, while the cheaper model, the vivo V30, has three 50MP shooters.

Price, availability

The vivo V30 is available in Petals White and Green Sea for PhP 24,999 (256GB) and PhP 27,999 (512GB). Meanwhile, the the vivo V30 Pro (Petals White) comes with a PhP 34,999 price tag.

Customers may purchase at vivo’s official store, Lazada, Shopee, TikTok, and authorized retailers. Those opting for installment plans may do so via Home Credit.

New era in portrait photography

The vivo V30 Pro is accompanied by the following cameras:

  • 50MP VCS True Color main camera OIS
  • 50MP AF ultra-wide angle camera
  • 50MP Portrait Lens camera
  • 50MP AF group selfie camera

Meanwhile, the vivo V30 has these shooters:

  • 50MP VCS True Color main camera OIS
  • 50MP AF ultra-wide angle camera
  • 50MP AF group selfie camera

Through the partnership, the vivo V30 series’ rear cameras underwent a rigorous development process that meets ZEISS imaging standards.

The flagship-level main camera has a 1/1.55-inch sensor size, offering topnotch sensitivity and OIS to allow users to capture night scenes with ease.

The 50MP AF ultra-wide angle camera, meanwhile, is a leap from the typical 2MP, 5MP, and 8MP ultra-wide cameras from previous generations. With a significantly higher pixel count and 119-degree field of view, this shooter gives users more detail for expansive landscapes and other scenarios.

The only difference between the two models is the extra 50MP lens on the Pro, which is specifically designed for portraits.

This series also brings a color system that features three ZEISS filters to aid users when shooting: Vivid, Natural, and Textured. In addition, the phones are introducing six new ZEISS-inspired portrait bokeh styles, offering users to be even more creative when snapping photos.

The series’ camera system is not only ideal for stills; with hybrid OIS+EIS, the phones support smoother and more stable filming. What’s even better is users may leverage the Vlog Movie Creator to help with shortform video creation.

Aura Light 3.0

Accompanying the vivo V30 phones’ cameras is the redesigned Aura Light.

First introduced in the past two V series lines, the Aura Light has expanded with a squared look. The light it emits covers an area 19 times larger, yet softer than a standard flash. This improvement preserves the smooth texture of skin most specially in captures.

Moreover, vivo also expanded the Smart Color Temperature Adjustment feature’s color range. With this, users can aptly complement the subject and its surroundings with the proper light color.

An ultra-sensing algorithm system works in conjunction with these hardware. The Portrait Beautification algorithm also processes images right from the moment they are taken, enhancing them when viewed.

Food connoisseurs will also love the new 3D fill light that aids in shots of food even in dim lighting conditions.

Capable hardware, software

The vivo V30 is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 7 Gen 3 processor. On the other hand, the Pro variant houses a MediaTek Dimensity 8200 chipset. Both devices have a 5,000mAh battery that support 80W FlashCharge.

Design-wise, the phones are just 7.45mm thick, making them the thinnest 5,000mAh phones in the market.

For their display, the phones have a 6.78-inch Ultra Clear Sunlight Display. This 3D curved screen has a 120Hz refresh rate and 2,800nits of maximum brightness.

Furthermore, the phones run on the Android 14-based Funtouch OS, and supports 12GB of RAM and up to 512GB of internal storage.

OPPO Find X10 Series features

Dual 200MP and Triple 200MP camera systems

The OPPO Find X10 Series puts mobile photography at the center of its flagship experience.

The standard Find X10 combines a 200MP main camera and a 200MP telephoto camera with a 50MP ultra-wide camera. This setup gives users three perspectives for different subjects, from expansive landscapes to distant objects.

The Find X10 Pro Max takes things further with three 200MP rear cameras. Its ultra-wide camera features a 124-degree field of view and autofocus for macro photography. The 200MP main camera uses a custom ISOCELL HPC sensor co-developed by OPPO and Samsung, while the telephoto camera is designed for detailed shots of distant subjects.

Both models support high-resolution photography and offer flexibility when cropping and reframing images. Users can also pair either phone with the optional Hasselblad Teleconverter to extend the reach of the telephoto camera.

LUMO True Image Engine aims for natural-looking photos

OPPO’s LUMO True Image Engine is designed to reproduce colors, lighting, and textures more faithfully.

The computational photography system combines OPPO’s imaging technology with Hasselblad Master Mode’s tonal rendering. It also uses color information from a new-generation True Color Camera to improve color reproduction across different lighting conditions.

Rather than aggressively brightening shadows or sharpening every detail, the system aims to preserve the natural relationship between highlights and shadows. It also takes a more restrained approach to noise reduction to preserve textures in subjects such as skin, hair, fabrics, and architecture.

On the Find X10 Pro Max, DeepPix technology works with the custom 200MP main camera sensor to support up to 17 stops of dynamic range. This helps preserve information in scenes with bright highlights and deep shadows.

Hasselblad imaging and teleconverter support

The Find X10 Series continues OPPO’s collaboration with Hasselblad, bringing the camera manufacturer’s color science and Master Mode to both smartphones.

Both models support dedicated Hasselblad Teleconverter accessories for users who want greater reach when photographing distant subjects. With the accessory attached, the Find X10 Pro Max supports true 10x optical zoom, while the Find X10 delivers 11x optical zoom, according to OPPO.

The accessory gives photographers more flexibility when shooting concerts, wildlife, and distant subjects. In the UK, buyers can also choose the Hasselblad Teleconverter as their complimentary launch accessory.

High-resolution video recording

The Find X10 Series also brings upgrades for video creators.

The Find X10 Pro Max supports 4K recording at up to 120fps and 8K recording at 30fps across all three rear cameras. The Find X10 offers the same recording capabilities on its two 200MP cameras.

Both models introduce Open Gate Capture, which uses the sensor’s full imaging area to capture more of a scene. This gives creators more flexibility to crop and reframe footage for landscape, portrait, and other formats during post-production.

Displays with up to 144Hz refresh rates

The Find X10 features a 6.59-inch flat display, while the Find X10 Pro Max has a larger 6.78-inch panel.

Both support adaptive refresh rates of up to 144Hz and the BT.2020 wide color gamut. These features are designed to deliver smooth interactions and vivid colors when browsing, gaming, watching videos, or reviewing photos.

Large batteries and durability

Both smartphones feature an 8,000mAh silicon-carbon battery designed to support extended use. OPPO says the batteries can provide up to two days of typical use and retain more than 80% of their original capacity after five years of typical use.

The Find X10 Series also carries IP66, IP68, and IP69 dust and water resistance ratings. Both devices have SGS Five-Star Drop Resistance Certification, offering additional protection for everyday use.

MediaTek flagship processors

The Find X10 runs on the MediaTek Dimensity 9600M, while the Find X10 Pro Max uses the 2nm MediaTek Dimensity 9600 Pro.

The processors are designed to support demanding workloads, including photography, video recording, gaming, and AI-powered features.

ColorOS 17 and AI features

The Find X10 Series runs ColorOS 17, which introduces a refreshed interface called Living Flow Design.

The software also features AI Mind Pilot with Agent Mode. It connects agentic AI with files and photos stored on the phone, helping users handle more complex tasks through a single prompt.

Dual 200MP and Triple 200MP camera systems

The OPPO Find X10 Series focuses on delivering high-resolution photography across different focal lengths.

The standard Find X10 combines a 200MP Ultra-Clear Main Camera and a 200MP Ultra-Sensing Telephoto Camera with a 50MP ultra-wide camera. This setup lets users capture detailed shots of everyday subjects, distant objects, and wider scenes.

The Find X10 Pro Max takes a different approach by equipping all three rear cameras with 200MP sensors. Its main camera uses a large 1/1.3-inch sensor, while its 124-degree ultra-wide camera supports autofocus for close-up macro photography. The telephoto camera is designed to capture distant subjects while retaining detail.

Both models also let users crop and reframe high-resolution photos, giving them more flexibility when composing images after taking them.

LUMO True Image Engine aims for natural-looking photos

OPPO’s LUMO True Image Engine is designed to reproduce colors, lighting, and textures more faithfully.

The system combines computational photography with OPPO’s True Color Camera and Hasselblad Master Mode. Its True Color Camera uses 24-channel multispectral capture and delivers 5.5 times the dynamic range of its predecessor, according to OPPO.

This helps the phones interpret colors across different lighting conditions and preserve details such as natural skin tones and subtle color variations.

The imaging system also aims to retain the balance between highlights and shadows. It takes a more restrained approach to sharpening and noise reduction to preserve textures in subjects such as skin, hair, fabrics, and architecture.

On the Find X10 Pro Max, DeepPix technology supports the custom 200MP ISOCELL HPC main camera sensor co-developed by OPPO and Samsung. OPPO says the system supports up to 17 stops of dynamic range to help retain details in scenes with bright highlights and deep shadows.

Hasselblad imaging and teleconverter support

The OPPO Find X10 Series continues the company’s collaboration with Hasselblad. The partnership influences the phones’ color reproduction, tonal balance, and Hasselblad Master Mode.

Both models also support dedicated Hasselblad Teleconverter accessories for users who want greater reach when photographing distant subjects.

With the accessory attached, the Find X10 Pro Max supports true 10x optical zoom, while the Find X10 delivers 11x optical zoom, according to OPPO. These accessories can be useful for photographing concerts, wildlife, and other subjects that are difficult to approach.

The Hasselblad Teleconverter Kit is sold separately for PHP 15,999 through the OPPO Online Store.

4K 120fps and 8K video recording

The Find X10 Series also offers high-resolution video recording for creators.

The Find X10 Pro Max supports 4K recording at up to 120fps and 8K recording at 30fps across all three rear cameras. On the Find X10, these recording options are available on its two 200MP cameras.

Both models introduce Open Gate Capture, which uses the sensor’s full imaging area to capture more of a scene. This gives creators more flexibility to crop and reframe footage for landscape, portrait, and other formats during post-production.

Up to 144Hz displays

The Find X10 features a 6.59-inch flat display, while the Find X10 Pro Max has a larger 6.78-inch flat display.

Both support adaptive refresh rates of up to 144Hz and the BT.2020 wide color gamut. These features are designed to deliver smooth interactions and vivid colors when browsing, gaming, watching videos, or reviewing photos.
