Vivo has been steadily making inroads in a lot of key markets, including India and its home market China. The company has also been adding new products to its growing portfolio, with devices like the Vivo V19 in India and the Vivo iQOO Z1 in China, which is also the first device to run on the new MediaTek Dimensity 1000 Plus SoC. Vivo is intent on marching forward with even more distinct devices. The company had been teasing the launch of the X50 series on Weibo, highlighting the gimbal camera system on the X50 Pro in particular. And now, the X50 series has finally been announced, coming in the form of the Vivo X50, Vivo X50 Pro, and Vivo X50 Pro+, alongside the Vivo TWS Earphone Neo for the Chinese market.

The highlight of the Vivo X50 series is the gimbal camera system on the X50 Pro and X50 Pro+. The main camera on both of these variants utilizes a gimbal camera system that is modeled after a full-sized professional gimbal, which moves the camera module in the direction opposite to that of the shake, increasing the stability of the main camera. As against simpler OIS, a gimbal system widens the rotation angle and anti-shake area.
Vivo is also adding a Gimbal Radar within the camera UI, depicting it as an animated ball that reflects the gimbal’s movement. The idea behind it is to let users know when the frame is stable. There are other neat tricks at play too, like motion-deblur algorithms and continuous focus tracking to enhance the image and video clarity. Camera modes include Super Night Mode and Astro Mode, which enable users to capture photos of city and country scenes at night, respectively.
Vivo X50
All the phones within the series focus on smartphone photography with a fairly usable and versatile quad-rear camera setup. The X50 Pro and X50 Pro+ come with a periscope lens with support for up to 60x Hyper Zoom. On the X50 Pro+, you get the new 50MP ISOCELL GN1 sensor that has a big 1/1.3″ optical format and 1.2μm pixels — the sensor size is actually bigger than the Galaxy S20 Ultra’s 108MP sensor.
Vivo X50 Pro
There are a fair few differences across both the phones, so refer the specification sheet for the full rundown. Notably, the X50 is obviously the most basic variant with a flat display, lack of gimbal OIS, and periscope lens. The X50 Pro+ differs from the X50 with an upgraded SoC, upgraded 120Hz display, faster charging, different audio chip, and the new Samsung 50MP sensor.
