Jia Jingdong, vice president of the Vivo brand in China, announced important details about Vivo S19 and S19 Pro through his official Weibo account. The Vivo S19 series was previously displayed on Geekbench, and its design was also revealed in the leaked posters of the phone.

Vivo S19 and S19 Pro will be powered by Snapdragon 7 Gen 3 and MediaTek Dimensity 9200+ respectively. While the S19 offers a massive 6,000mAh battery, the Pro model’s capacity is slightly lower at 5,500mAh, and both will support 80W charging. S19 Pro will have a 6.78 inch 2800 x 1260 OLED display, 16 GB RAM and 512 GB storage.

Confirming previous leaks, Jia Jingdong stated that the S19 Pro has an industry-first 50MP Sony IMX921 sensor, another 50MP Sony telephoto sensor (supports 50x digital zoom), and a “wide-angle dual soft-light selfie” with distortion protection. “. Both the s19 and s19 Pro offer a 50 MP front camera and an 8 MP ultra-wide camera.

Vivo focused on image processing for the S19 series

The Vivo S19 series has a “soft light ring” attached to the camera module. It aims to “evenly fill the light” of the subject and reduce excessive contrast of shadows on the face or other objects.

When shooting with the main camera, it spreads the light over a wide area, and when you switch to telephoto, it adapts and focuses the light into a narrower beam to cover distant objects; This seems like a great application of existing technology. It is stated that it provides excellent light distribution, light texture and light color temperature for different scenes.

According to the official, the “soft light ring” is an iconic innovation of the vivo S series. It also indicates that the portraits may be better than their competitors abroad. In addition to using lines to separate the subject from the background, he says they also deliberately used shadows to add contrast to the subject.

In addition to the soft light ring on the camera module, the Vivo S19 series also offers “synchronized focus shifting”, which means autofocus will be more reliable.

Vivo S19 series also offers the latest self-developed and constantly improved portrait algorithms. They also encoded a preference for “nice things” into the AI ​​display target using supervised machine learning.
