In 2019, almost all smartphone makers have been focusing on the gaming capabilities of their phones. This year, the focus has been moved on the camera capabilities. We mean, if you want to boast of your smartphone, it should not only sport a top-end camera but also come with a number of innovations.

Camera Features
The VIVO X50 series supports professional portrait mode, 60x super zoom, super night scene, night backlight portrait, starry sky mode, super wide-angle mode, super macro mode, and other functions. Among them, the night scene portraits of the VIVO X50 series can be targeted to optimize the face through the algorithm.
