Unboxing The Vivo V40 Pro

So today we got the new V40 and V40 Pro from Vivo

and these are co-engineered with Zeiss, so there is a huge focus on camera

but these are also apparently in the V series here, the thinnest device is packing 5,500 milliamp hour batteries

so I'm really interested in checking out just how slim these are, considering they're still a large battery inside

This is the standard V40, this is the V40 Pro. Difference in box size is kind of interesting

Let's start with the V40. Now these are obviously gonna be available in a couple of different colors

I have purple. I like that. Just straight up simple purple. And it's got 12 gigs of RAM, 512 storage

You're getting a Snapdragon chip in the V40, whereas you go to a MediaTek in the V40 Pro

Well, that's nice. Purple phone, purple case included in the package. C to A cable, the device

and I'm guessing the reason we have the bigger package on the V40 Pro is because we're probably gonna have

a charger in there. Now, both of these devices are capable of recharging at 80 watts

Now, this is our first glimpse at the Zeiss co-branding, the partnership

Also, we have something here, Auralite, optical image stabilized portrait. That's an interesting looking flash area

USB-C, SIM tray, power switch, volume rocker, and a unique camera layout

The device is extremely thin for something that's packing 5,500 milliamp hour battery

Okay, moving on to the V40 Pro. Identically slim, but that's pretty cool

Even though you go to the Pro model. The camera area you can see is laid out slightly different

Ring light is below the added camera here. And inside the Pro package, we're also gonna get a case

This time in black. Same USB-C to A cable. And then the beefy charger

This is flash charge, 80 watt max. And either of these two devices will take advantage of all 80 watts

Ooh dirt bike So here we can see the screen resolution 2400 by 1080 and our screen refresh is set to smart switch to move between fast and slow in order to maintain your battery life however you

can lock it at 60 or lock it at 120 and the screen is actually higher resolution than 2400 by 1080

but it's going to save power if you use it in that mode you can also run it at its full resolution

2800 by 1260. all right let's do some standard photos we have our favorite prop ultra wide is

quite wide, represented as 0.6, but if I tap on it, you can see it's also got the focal length

representation of 15 mil, 1x or 23 mil, 2x or 50 mil, and 4x or 100 mil. You can see the camera

versatility you get from ultra wide all the way up to 100 mil. Now for video, we can shoot up to

4k 60 frames i'll be the judge of how entertaining mo is so this is our 4k 60 frame

mo camera test that we are very familiar with and we like to evaluate the detail actually

tremendous detail i can see little fibers and stuff on your hat oh really because it's black

Yeah, like, you know, like typical little fibers. How's your hairs, though

Gray hairs? Oh, yeah. I got them. I got a couple of grays in there

Audio? Testing one. Oh, and let's also test the audio while we're at it

This is officially an audio test. Timo, that wasn't so bad, was it

No, it wasn't. I could have done you worse. Either you're getting nicer or worse. I could have done you worse

I thought it through. It crossed my mind. So there's a couple of different portrait modes that Zeiss wants to highlight here

The first is called multifocal portrait, then there's style portrait, and then lastly, aura light portrait with 3D studio lighting, utilizing this section here of the camera

Now, there's also portrait that moves into video. They have something called cinematic portrait which works as expected aiming to behave like portrait mode in stills but instead carry that over to video So studio portrait uses a lot of these features in one It got the Zeiss Portrait Lens Kit the bokeh flare the beauty mode all with one tap so you get this kind of studio effect

And you can see the different focal lengths are represented like you would have on an actual

traditional camera, 100 being a very popular choice for portraits. You can go in and select

different bokeh settings, which is pretty wild. And these different bokeh settings mimic popular

Zeiss glass, Biotar, B-Speed, Aplanar, Distagon, Cineflare, and Cinematic. So if you want your

bokeh balls to have a slightly different shape, you can create that. You can also increase or

decrease that effect. Now they have some presets that they're calling portrait lens kit. This will

aim to mimic very popular portrait lens combos and choices. Let's try a 100 mil close-up on Mo

Are you ready? Oh, you look very beautiful. You've been beautified. Look at your complexion

just beyond perfect superhuman complexion. You can see the specs of this particular photo 100 mil f4

150th shutter iso 145 now what's cool is you can actually refocus it as well so if you want to

change your settings after the fact you just click on the bokeh button and then go in there

and make your adjustments monitor mo camera mo watch monitor mo and then the amount of bokeh

Oh, right here. Now I'm gonna try it again, but this next time

what I'm gonna do is turn off the beauty mode and just use the remainder of the portrait effects

And Mo is gonna have a little bit more background. I'm gonna try an 85

You stay where you are. You stay right there, Mo. All right

So this is kind of a complicated task. You see his hat is like meshing with the ceiling there

You've got some detail in the foreground. He's obviously the focal point, and you can see the fall off over here to the side

like where his shirt is. Background, foreground, background, foreground. Right on the eye done Without the beauty mode turned on you get a more natural complexion You can see a little bit more detail in his face and obviously the imperfections Like if you want the full studio portrait effect

look at this guy. Look at that guy. It's a lot. There's a lot to it. If I switch to 24

you can see that it resets 35, 100, boom. Depending on the focal length that I select

that will change the spread of the light, whether I need a slimmer beam to travel further

or if I wanna diffuse that light and have a wider spread. Both the V40 and V40 Pro come with this upgraded Aura light

and this is 33% brighter than on the previous generation. Is there such a thing as a front portrait

Yes, there is. Should I try beauty or no beauty? What do you think? Damn, that is like for a selfie camera

on the front of the phone. Are you seeing this? This front facing image looks like old rear facing images

Like from not that many years ago. Maybe I should just also, while I'm here, do a more intense beauty mode

Oh yeah. See, it's smoothing me out even more. I'm getting smoother as we go

All right, let's try this movie bokeh in the cinematic mode. And I'm going to make it as strong as possible because I'm just curious how this is going to work

Oh, Mo, you are definitely a cinematic man. And is it cutting me out

You're cut out, brother. You are cut out. Does it look good

You decide. Oh yeah, dude. That looks really good. Stereo speaker. Speaker one

Speaker two. Charge animation check. Charging

Flash charge. Real time. Be even faster if the battery was lower

Dolphins. I'm in the animal kingdom. Vibrance. So there you have it

V40 and V40 Pro purple and silver, which is more appealing to you
