Sometimes, or rather, many a times I go on solo trips. Yes, there have been some wonderful instances, when I’ve made some lovely friends out of strangers and usually the chat begins with ‘Please can you click a pic of me?’ and when splitting and moving in our ways, after getting to know each other, we end up taking a group-fie!!! But then some other instances when selfie is the best option. My present phone has a 5MP selfie camera. I’m not much of a selfie person. I hardly take solo selfies. My need for selfie is in 2 categories – when I meet someone I adore or a VIP, I’d like a selfie with him/her and the 2nd, when I’m any interesting location, I’d like to take selfie to document for myself that ‘Yes, I’ve been there’!!! In both cases, I’d like a good clarity of the picture. Though I don’t expect a DSLR clarity, a decent level should do.
Very recently, I saw this ad of Vivo V5 featuring Ranveer Singh. Well, I didn’t care for a new phone but I was attracted to the ad, just coz I saw Ranveer in it, lolz! But then, I was more attracted when I realized it has 20MP selfie camera! It is the first ever 20 Megapixel front camera phone for a good moonlight selfie.'
Here are a couple of selfie disasters that has happened - One type when my face looks humongous when compared to the background which was pointless coz the main purpose of the selfie in those cases where the location (did you even spot the Copenhagen Mermaid behind me?). Another type is when I’m taking a selfie with someone, esp if it’s an important person, but when I’m in a place with bad lighting like a club!
With SONY IMX376 image sensor and moon light flash, Vivo V5 promises an excellent clarity and soft muted lighting that prevents these weird violet tones as well as good clarity in night selfie without giving out a harsh, bright flash. Also there is the inbuilt face recognition and beauty mode which helps in providing nicer final results.
It is a rather interesting phone with an only 13MP as rear camera, but a whooping 20MP as selfie camera. A good selfie stick, that will help me get a good all-over view of my location and the clarity of this phone would prove to be one of the best things for any solo traveler! There have been a couple of posts in this blog, where I managed to do an OOTD post with selfies or mirror selfie!!! Imagine how perfect those would turn out with a 20MP camera clarity? Hoping to lay my hands on this phone to feel its awesomeness, myself! Let’s see!
I am not really a selfie taker. I don't think I had ever posted a selfie of mine because they end up unflattering. Haha! I think you are an expert selfie taker already.
Interesting... I'm on iPhone and had been watching a lot of Vivo sponsored variety show in China. I definitely wonder if the camera is really that good!
A lot of brands are popping up these days and Vivo is one of it. I have seen it the first time when I bumped to one of the malls in the city. I am not sure about the brand not until when I saw first it on facebook then followed by a blog post about certain bloggers and this came. Sure it is an interesting phone. I'd love to try it soon.
Hi, I understand the USP behind creating a camera with 20MP selfie camera and i also understand your attraction to it, but being a photographer i would just like to point out that MP - Megapixel is just a measure of size, like centimeter or inches. Higher the MP means larger the size of the photo which is really useful only when you plan to get huge prints - like hoardings. Most of us dont really print huge hoardings so 5MP camera can give same output as 20MP camera given rest of the parameters are same.
The real characteristics of a good camera would involve other specifications like its sensor quality, its F number etc. which companies dont market as it is little technical. V5 may have good camera as such but just thought clarifying this marketing gimmick by phone companies would help you.
The phones camera are getting better and better, and even more the front ones now with the selfies. Let's just be careful about the race of the Mpx. That's not only what makes a good picture and at some point, too much becomes useless. But you have nice pictures there, you visited loads of places and the "monuments selfies" are kinda cool!

ReplyDeleteOh this phone is definitely made for selfies. It's a great idea because millions are into selfie. This would be a hit.
ReplyDelete20 MP for a front camera is impressive. The resolution is also superb based on your photos.
ReplyDeleteThis looks really interesting...Didn't know about V5. Selfie disasters? so true, even I have gone through many...
