Recently, vivo launched the new V70 in the Philippines, a premium mid-range smartphone that combines ZEISS cameras with a golden design, making it a great partner for capturing your daily moments.
The past few V-series devices have featured ZEISS cameras, and the vivo V70 is no exception. In fact, its camera system may just be the best one yet for a V-series smartphone, as it features an impressive 50MP ZEISS Super Telephoto Camera that’s capable not only of great zoomed-in photos, but also up to 20x video. This is complemented by ZEISS Portrait features, along with a range of AI photo enhancements for more creative editing options.
On top of these, the vivo V70 has a striking design that’s made in collaboration with POP MART. Thanks to these, the newest vivo smartphone is a promising daily driver, but if you need more convincing, here’s a quick rundown of how the vivo V70 lets you capture your golden moments in style.
Capture Golden Moments with the 50MP ZEISS Super Telephoto Camera
The vivo x ZEISS partnership has been ongoing for years now, and while this partnership initially was only for the X-series flagship line, the vivo V-series phones have also gotten ZEISS shooters over the past years. For the latest V-series entry, vivo and ZEISS went with an impressive camera array, headlined by a 50MP ZEISS Super Telephoto Camera with an IMX882 Ultra-Sensing Sensor. This camera can deliver lossless-quality 10x zoom shots thanks to its setup.
To complement this camera, the vivo V70 also packs a 50MP ZEISS OIS Main Camera, along with an 8MP ZEISS Ultra Wide-Angle Camera and a 50MP ZEISS Group Selfie Camera. With this setup, you can enjoy plenty of flexibility, as the phone promises to deliver great photos in all sorts of conditions. Thus, you can get great quality landscapes (both in daytime and nighttime), as well as portraits, selfies, and more.
Here are some sample photos taken with the V70’s cameras:
As you can see, the V70 is able to take excellent photos in a variety of shooting scenarios. Photography isn’t all it’s capable of though, as the V70 also excels at videos. That’s because the 50MP ZEISS Super Telephoto Camera has a 20x ZEISS Telephoto Stage Mode. This combines the capable telephoto snapper with AI Image Enhancement for sharp details and crisp colors, making it a capable concert partner, even if your spot is near the middle or the back of a venue.
Here’s a look at some photos taken with the Stage Mode:
-
- 3x zoom
-
- 10x zoom
If that’s not enough, the vivo V70 also has 4K60FPS video capabilities – a first for the V-series. You can go to the camera settings to turn this on, and you can enjoy high-resolution videos that are ultra-smooth.
ZEISS Multifocal Portraits and AI Visuals for More Creative Options
The 50MP ZEISS Super Telephoto Camera is designed for videos, as well as for portraits, especially as the ZEISS Multi-Focal Portrait System is back.
With this, you get more “pro” style focal length options. So, instead of just 1x, 2x, and 3x zoom, what you’ll see in the Portrait section of the camera app are the following focal lengths: 23mm (for environment shots), 35mm (for street photography), 50mm (the classic portrait focal length), 85mm (for a flattering, natural look), and 100mm (for close-ups). These are nice for pro photographers who prefer to shoot at specific focal lengths. On the flip side, this is also good for budding photographers who want to get a more pro-style experience.
What’s also back is the range of ZEISS Style Bokeh effects, with each emulating a specific ZEISS lens. These dramatically change the bokeh effect, making for more eye-catching portraits.
Here’s a look at some portrait samples:
To top it all off, vivo has some new AI features to give users even more post-processing options that are easy to use. For starters, there’s AI Magic Weather, which adds natural weather effects to photos. This is great if you’re shooting in overcast conditions outdoors but still want a dazzling photo. With this, you have options that range from adding a golden sunset to the glow of twilight.
Another AI feature is AI Magic Landscape. These enhance island, desert, and snow scenes with better colors and contrast, making for more social media-ready shots.

Great Everyday Reliability with OriginOS 6 and 6,500mAh BlueVolt Battery
Having impressive cameras is one thing, but that’s not all the vivo V70 is offering. This new vivo offering is powered by a Snapdragon 7 Gen 4 chipset, enabling it to run popular social media and productivity apps with no issues. It should also have enough power to run today’s most-played Android games.
The vivo V70 also runs on OriginOS 6, vivo’s UI that is designed to deliver a smooth experience. This is thanks to its features like Dual Rendering, Ultra-Core Computing, and Memory Fusion across display, computing, and storage. What’s more, OriginOS 6 has stylish additions that are helpful for everyday use, such as Flip Cards, AI Search, and more. Plus, vivo promises that the phone will get four major OS version updates, meaning you can use the V70 for years.
Speaking of longevity, that also won’t be an issue here, as the vivo V70 has a large 6,500mAh BlueVolt battery that should deliver over a day of use on a single charge for years to come. This is complemented by fast 90W FlashCharge, enabling the phone to reach 100% in well under an hour.
Eye-Catching Design in Collaboration with POP MART ZSIGA
Finally, let’s talk design. As mentioned above, the vivo V70 is designed in collaboration with POP MART Zsiga, one of POP MART’s most popular characters. Fittingly, the phone comes in its signature Golden Hour colorway, which evokes adorable Zsiga.
The color isn’t the only thing that POP MART brings to the table with the V70, as the phone also features Flip Cards that show off Zsiga on the phone’s lock screen. This should be a great touch for POP MART fans and collectors.
While vivo put a lot of emphasis on the looks, the V70’s design isn’t just made to look nice. It’s also built with protection in mind, as it features IP68 & IP69 water and dust resistance. This means the phone should be able to withstand high-pressure water jets, along with up to 48 hours of rain. Thus, the vivo V70 should be tough enough to brave the elements.
vivo V70: Price and Availability in the Philippines
Thanks to its capable ZEISS camera setup, POP MART Zsiga design collab, and good daily performance plus battery life, the vivo V70 is no doubt a fitting daily driver that lets you capture golden moments with extra flair.
In the Philippines, the vivo V70 is available now in vivo stores nationwide and online via vivo e-store, Shopee, Lazada, and TikTok Shop with a starting price of PHP 31,999.
