With the photographic capabilities of our phones reaching previously unimaginable heights, phone manufacturers are focusing their new developments on improving the video recording capabilities of our smartphones. vivo , which is now landing in Spain, is one of the most specialized in this field thanks to a Gimbal system, common in professional film cameras but not common in a mobile terminal. ”
One of the largest technology vendors in the world lands in Spain with the firm idea of winning the approval of a market through a job well done. That is why it comes to our country hand in hand with the vivo X51 5G , one of the most spectacular phones that we have been able to test in a long time.
As soon as you hold the mobile in your hand you will notice how light and thin it is. In fact, this vivo mobile is, with its 8.04 mm thickness, one of the thinnest 5G mobiles within its price segment. This, added to a weight of 181.5 grams, makes it a comfortable and ergonomic device when using it or making our recordings.
And it is that, video recording, is one of the strengths of this Vivo X51 5G.
Redefining video recording
A few months ago the brand launched its first phone equipped with a Gimbal on the market . For those who do not know much about the world of photography, this is the classic accessory in the form of a motorized platform that many camera operators use to keep the shot perfectly stabilized. It is controlled by a plate with several accelerometers and a magnetic compass that are responsible for maintaining a stabilized object at all times.
vivo has managed to introduce this element into its phone, bringing to life its Gimbal Camera System , a pioneer in the industry and that puts the brand at the forefront of video recording. The brand employs a double-ball suspension mount and mechanical movement to achieve flexible 3D stabilization that can cover angles 300% larger than traditional OIS (Optical Image Stabilization). In this way, the Gimbal compensates for shaking when moving to offer a smooth, stabilized and perfectly focused clip.
While this technology is beneficial when taking photos, it is much more so when we have to record videos
Best night and sports recording
The stability of the Gimbal Camera System can increase the efficiency rate and clarity of night shots, as the incoming light increases, for more detail in a low-light environment. Additionally, by reducing shake, clarity is improved, and together with the Motion Unlock algorithm, exposure time is shortened and perfectly focused shots of any action are generated.
60x zoom
Accompanying the 48 MP Sony IMX598 sensor equipped with this Gimbal, we have an 8 MP periscope camera that, when coupled with a zoom algorithm, manages to achieve a hyper-zoom of 60x. It does not matter that you are far from what you want to photograph, because the stabilization of the system manages to focus without problems on distant objects or people.
Professional portrait mode
Behind these two sensors we have a 13 MP professional lens that simulates a 50mm fixed focus camera. The 50mm lenses are the most used in professional portrait photography due to the similarity of their angle of view and the effect of the image to those of the human eye. For this reason, vivo has wanted to equip the camera of this X51 5G with this type of lens that achieves natural and authentic portraits without any distortion.
Super wide angle and macro mode
The last camera we find on the phone is an 8MP sensor that is used for wide angle shots or macro shots thanks to its 120º field of view. Whether you want to capture the best sunset or a coin up to 2.5 cm away, you will get a photo or clip full of detail.
4K at 60 fps
Of course, these 4 cameras allow us to make recordings at the maximum resolution, 4K and to be able to work with speeds of 60 fps that allow us to get our most creative side.
Hyper HDR
To improve the lighting and dynamic range of photos and videos, the smartphone has its own Hyper HDR technology for vivo. As a result, everything we record or photograph with the vivo X51 will be of the highest quality, even in strong backlight situations.
Other details of the mobile
With these features, the vivo X51 becomes one of the best mobile phones to record videos of all kinds, perfectly in focus, without shake, sharp and with high resolution. But the device is also complemented by other interesting features such as a high-performance Qualcomm Snapdragon 765G processor, which makes the mobile compatible with 5G networks, or a battery of more than 4300 mAh with 33W fast charge.
We add a 6.5-inch screen with FullHD + resolution and 90 Hz refresh rate with on-screen fingerprint sensor, 8 GB of RAM, 256 GB of ROM, Bluetooth 5.1 and a 32 M front camera and we are, without a doubt , before one of the most balanced premium mobiles of the year.
