LEVELLING IT UP

FACT got its hands on vivo’s new high-performance, colour changing V25 Pro, a smartphone with enhanced photography features that encourages artistic expression.

vivo have just unveiled their latest smartphone offering, the vivo V25 Pro, which we wasted no time in trying out.

We all know it’s what’s on the inside that counts and the vivo V25 Pro provides a solid performance along with high-power efficiency that supports the daily needs of the smartphone’s users. The new V25 Pro is equipped with an octa-core CPU, MediaTek Dimensity 1300 with 12GB RAM and 8GB extended RAM that power its 5G capabilities.

This setup also delivers greater AI imaging capacity that allows for the capture of outstanding 4K videos along with a smooth gaming experience. We found movie watching and game playing to be polished and uninterrupted. Performance is vastly improved thanks to the new Bionic Cooling System.

Design wise the new model is pretty to look at. The slim body is just 8.62mm thick and features an elegant 3D Curved Screen with a punch hole at the top of the front camera.

Our favourite design feature is the revolutionary Colour Changing Fluorite AG Glass enabling the rear panel to display various vivid hues, at different angles, when exposed to UV light. The V25 Pro comes in Surfing Blue and Starlight Black. The Surfing Blue edition, for example, changes from light sky blue to a deep ocean blue, depending on the angle it’s held at in the sunlight.

The Pro delivers an excellent imaging experience with its 64MP OIS ultra-sensing rear camera that features upgraded OIS and EIS capabilities, along with an 8MP wide-angle camera. This setup allowed us to effortlessly capture highquality selfies and super-wide landscape shots without having to change a single setting.

The 50MP and 32MP HD front cameras contain autofocus and eye focus capabilities, respectively. This enables users to capture crystal clear images any time of the day or night. The front camera is also equipped with an AI HD Algorithm that optimises sharpness. Additionally, the Pro’s AI Skin Retouching Algorithm provides an airbrushed look when required.

The upgraded Super Night Mode feature accurately restored all colours and brightness levels of any highly saturated images we took. This feature is coupled with the new Real-Time Extreme Night Vision feature that allows users to manually adjust the exposure intensity when previewing an image.

As well as great still images, we found filming videos with the V25 Pro to be a rewarding and fun-filled experience. The SuperNight feature is brilliant at brightening videos shot in darker settings, as well as at noise reduction.

Natural Portrait video mode enhances overall skin texture and clarity and Hybrid Image Stabilization (OIS+EIS) ensures videos are clear and more stable.

vivo have included a new Vlog Movie feature designed to improve the filming experience. It comes with video tutorials and templates to guide users on how best to shoot in various scenarios.

The vivo V25 Pro houses a 4830mAh large battery along with a 66W FlashCharge capability which can be charged from flat to 71% in as little as half an hour. ✤
