If you’re running out of creative ideas on how to announce to the social media world that you are in love (without revealing who your new S/O is AKA soft launch), we got you.

We recently got our hands on the newest vivo V27, which features a 50-megapixel main camera — just the perfect phone to bring on date nights.

This newest vivo phone also features a 50MP selfie camera, and additional 8MP wide-angle + 2MP Triple Rear Camera that easily detects and enhances ambient light.

We reenacted some of the cutest soft launch entries from the internet, so we hope you take notes. 

Get creative on your dates and keep your followers intrigued with these soft launch ideas using the newest Vivo V27.

A mirror selfie, of course!

Perhaps one of the easiest shots: a mirror selfie with your faces covered. It’s fun and easy to get creative with this one. Just look for a full body mirror or a blind spot mirror (they’re quite the popular choice). Post this on your story and intrigue your friends.

The photo on the left was taken inside an establishment with low, warm lights. I loved how the camera still captured the true colors of the place.

The right photo, on the other hand, was taken using 2x zoom. The Vivo V27 camera can capture up to 10x zoom, and the photo quality is impressive. You can take a photo of a restaurant menu from afar and still read the text!

The color is still crisp even in low light environment, and you can adjust the light settings accordingly.

Mirror selfie… through another phone camera

If a mirror selfie sounds cliché for you, you can level up your creativity with a mirror shot… through the lens of both your phone and your SO’s.

What I noticed with Vivo V27 camera settings though, it automatically adjusts the color sometimes. The photos above were taken consecutively, and the color change is easily noticeable.

Again, this photo is taken in a low light environment, but the colors are still popping.

The “no cameras, please!” shot

POV: you are your SO’s biggest fan. 

Trust us, this shot would look great on your IG feed. Try to capture this with one of vivo V27’s signature feature — the aura light mode.

L: Aura Off | R: Aura On

Vivo V27 Aura Light looks like a mini ring light at the back of the phone. What I loved about this feature is how the light doesn’t overpower the subject and the photo in general, compared to the normal flash feature of other phones.

The aura light looks very bright on the outside, but when I saw the photo outputs, it gave just the right amount of light to give emphasis to the subject of the photo.

Vivo V27’s portrait mode is also pretty impressive. These shots were taken after sunset, and yet the photos are still bright and clear.

The “stolen” back/side profiles

Don’t want to be included in the shot? You can take solo photos of your S/O during your date… still without showing the face.

Perhaps my favorite vivo V27 camera feature, the Super Night Mode is great for your date nights. As someone who also takes night photos using a DSLR camera, I can attest that the vivo V27’s night mode is like using your professional camera without the need for soft box lights. 

This phone is definitely a low light and night mode beast. For the photos above, I can’t tell which one I liked better because both shots looked great.

The vivo V27 also features a super wide mode, which adds more character to photos. 

Western Movies Filter

Macarons Filter

Having a hard time finding the right filter to match the vibe of the place? Vivo V27 has a total of 11 filters for you to choose from. My personal favorites are the Yogurt and Macarons. Which one do you think fits the soft launch photos above? 

The movie poster style

Set up a self-timer with your vivo 27 and recreate a romantic movie poster for your soft launch! Or if you’re brave enough, ask a stranger to take a photo of your sweet moment with your S/O. 

I loved how the tree lights are captured well in the photos above. Finding the focus wasn’t hard either, so safe to say that Vivo V27 is a super reliable date night companion.

The minimalist shots

A photo holding hands, or an eye-level shot below the face will surely make your friends DM you asap. It’s like wanting your relationship to be lowkey, and yet you want everyone to know. 

Check out the samples above. Both are taken on normal camera modes.

Compared to other android phones, what I like about Vivo V27 is the camera easily adjusts to difficult lighting. 

In the photo above, the subject is against the window light. I was impressed when the camera easily adjusted the focus and lighting and the subject didn’t turn out shadow-y.

Shadow selfie

Whether it’s by the street or by the beach, shadow selfies are cute photos to show everyone you’re taken.  

Vivo V27’s Super Night Mode captures solid shadow photos as seen above, so no worries in achieving that Pinterest-like shot.

The ‘lowkey flex’ shot

This one’s pretty common on Instagram stories — you flaunting a photo of your drink.. or wait, are we seeing something else?

You can also take selfies for this shot! vivo V27 also features Bokeh Selifes — it’s like taking portrait except as selfie. You can choose the blur level of your background. 

I am personally not a fan of this feature, but it helps give emphasis to the photo subject especially when the background is busy. 

Take as much selfies as you want, since the camera features a 50-megapixel HD AF

Matchy shoes!

You know everyone would scream “couple alert!” when you post a photo of matching shoes.

If you want to take a less subtle one, try taking mirror shots with matchy clothes (while still covering your faces, of course).

Want to take more soft launch photos with a new phone? The vivo V27 is now available in the Philippines. It runs on 8GB RAM and 128GB memory so you can store as many date photos (and even videos) as you’d like! It retails at PhP 24,999.
