Not many smartphones in the market offer an all-day photography experience in the mid-range. Typically, most smartphones tend to discharge quickly when using the cameras constantly for a prolonged duration. But the vivo V30 series is here to change that with professional portrait cameras, co-engineered with ZEISS (only V30 Pro), and a robust battery system.
Whether you are attending a wedding or heading out sightseeing on a vacation, you can have a long photo session day without having to carry your charging brick. Here’s why the vivo V30 series is the perfect photography companion for you.

50-Megapixel Goodness All Day, Everyday
The vivo V30 series is the flagbearer of powerful 50-megapixel cameras in the industry. Both the vivo V30 5G and vivo V30 Pro 5G come with 50MP cameras on the back as well as the front, which is a novelty in the mid-range segment. In fact, they are the only smartphones offering 50MP cameras across the board from primary shots to selfies.
Both smartphones flaunt a vivo Camera-Bionic Spectrum (VCS) True Color Lens and 1/1.49-inch Sony IMX920 sensor with ZEISS optics on the vivo V30 Pro 5G. These sensors are geared towards capturing accurate colour reproduction, unbelievable clarity, and high details, no matter what lighting conditions you are clicking in.
Other cameras on both these models include a secondary 50MP ultra-wide-angle lens and a third 50MP ZEISS Triple Main camera exclusive to the vivo V30 Pro 5G, which we will explore more later in the article. The ultra-wide lens offers an impressive 119° field of view for a grand perspective whether you are clicking landscape or taking group pictures.
The group portrait experience is further enhanced by the AI Group Portrait feature, which uses various algorithms to ensure extraordinary clarity and accurate skin tones of everyone’s face in the group photo. Both V30 series devices flaunt a 50MP Eye AF Group Selfie camera. It uses portrait autofocus and 92° field-of-view to capture individual and group portraits equally well. Moreover, an f/2.0 aperture ensures clear low-light selfies as well.
Forget Low Light Woes with Studio-Quality Aura Light
Speaking of low-light shots, gone are the days of using the LED flash on the phone for photography. With the advent of software-backed night mode on, the flash module is now used as a flashlight. However, no amount of AI or processing can imitate the natural luminescence produced but a light source. That is why the vivo V30 series brings Studio-Quality Aura Light, which is different from the conventional flash modules.
The Studio-Quality Aura Light on the vivo V30 series is a game changer when it comes to flash photography. The much-improved and bigger Aura Light is designed to automatically adjust the light intensity and colour tone based on the ambient lighting. This results in soft lighting in pictures and videos instead of unappealing overexposed and washed-out results with unwanted glares.
The new Studio-Quality Aura Light can adjust the white balance in low-light scenarios with warm hues like candlelight, to produce night shots with aesthetic warm hues. Similarly, in cold light scenarios like neon lighting in a bar or street, it switches to a cool tone resembling moonlight. The camera can even detect the distance between the lens and the subject to produce just the right amount of light.
The company has greatly improved the Studio-Quality Aura Light on the V30 series as compared to its predecessor. The light now utilises a nanoscale light guide process to offer a 19x larger light output area and a 20% improvement in overall performance. The technology also produces 50x softer light as compared to traditional flashes.
Incredible Photography Experience With ZEISS Professional Portrait Camera
The photography experience goes a notch above with the vivo V30 Pro 5G, which is the first V series smartphone to come with a ZEISS co-engineered imaging system. The Pro model is equipped with a dedicated Portrait Camera with a 50MP Sony IMX816 sensor. The dedicated portrait camera meets ZEISS optics standards.
The camera system does so by utilising a 50mm focal length, which delivers pro-level portrait shots. ZEISS Natural Colour produces true-to-life portrait shots right out of the camera. This profile is ideal for professional users who require room for post-editing and users who prefer a more authentic look for their portrait shots.
Cherry on the top is that the vivo V30 Pro allows users to change the look and aesthetics of the shot to their preference if they want to. With ZEISS Style Portrait users can effortlessly achieve professional-looking portraits with six iconic styles.
These include ZEISS Cine-flare Portrait, Biotar Style Bokeh, Sonnar Style Bokeh, Cinematic Style Bokeh, Planar Style Bokeh, and ZEISS Distagon Style Bokeh. These styles let you experiment with bokeh flare and background blur depending on the lighting. There’s also a ZEISS Cinematic Video Bokeh for achieving cinema-style effects in your videos along with an aesthetic circular or elliptical bokeh flare.
What’s more, you can lend an even more professional touch to your portrait shots using the custom ZEISS border watermark. The vivo V30 Pro 5G offers two sets of ZEISS border watermark and four sets of vivo custom borders to add a distinct touch to your photos.

Your kid’s first spoken words, that moment when your partner said yes to your grand proposal, and other such precious moments should never be missed by the pesky battery-low notification.
