SOMEONE once said it on Pinterest: “Self-confidence is a selfie without filters.”
It’s a challenge that changes the game in your pursuit of the ‘perfect selfie’—the selfie that looks more like you and less like a product of tedious editing and one that drives a multitude of ‘likes’ to your Facebook, Instagram or Snapchat post.
And the good news? Selfie enthusiasts can ditch those blurry and heavily edited selfies as top five premium global brand1 Vivo introduces the Vivo V5s—the newest member in its ‘perfect selfie’ V5 line.
The V5s will be available in stores nationwide starting May 19. The big reveal at SM City North Edsa will be graced with performers and key personalities from the industry, including actor-model Tony Labrusca, Boyband PH, lifestyle blogger Verniece Enciso, and Vivo Executives.
Advanced selfie technology
Be prepared to marvel at the V5s’ superior camera features and advanced selfie tools. Equipped with a 20-megapixel front camera with f2.0 aperture, the V5s gives you crystal clear, high-resolution selfies, wherein all the details are astonishingly visible. The light-sensing area is also larger than average at 1/2.78 inch, allowing more light to come in, which in turn enhances photo brightness.
Even better, the V5s’ 20-megapixel front camera is supplemented by a 13-megapixel rear camera with f2.2 aperture and an ultra-high-definition mode that renders stunning ultra HD images of up to 52 megapixels.
The V5s also boasts of the newest group selfie technology, which allows landscape-panning effects in ‘groufies’ or group shots. This exciting new feature supports both portrait and landscape orientations so that no one is left out in barkada shots.
The V5s likewise features a selfie softlight technology that creates lighting effects similar to those in a professional photography studio. Offered by other V5 models but updated for the V5s, the selfie softlight has an enhanced night mode for clearer and more fabulous selfies taken at night or in poor lighting conditions.
Moreover, Vivo optical experts fine-tuned the selfie softlight so that it uses the most suitable colors from the spectrum, producing natural-looking and gender-appropriate selfies.
Other remarkable features of the V5s include its face beauty mode 6.0, which works like a skincare tool that automatically detects your gender and applies beauty touches accordingly. For instance, females get softer skin tone, a more delicate face contour, and bigger eyes while males get a more masculine look.
Other premium specifications
The Vivo V5s is equipped with 5G capacity for a more stable Internet connection—an upgrade from the 4G capacity of previous V5 units and other phones in the same price range. It also has an OTG feature,
