One of the things that makes photography so endearing and dynamic is that it allows us to freeze moments in a world that refuses to stop moving.
With the constant reverberating threads that bind us to this state of unfolding moments, the tools that we use to slow down time and create evidences of moments has changed over the years. With the advent of smartphones, the camera has morphed into an object that is not just with us at all times, but a device that we continue making demands of especially with regards to how we choose to make photographs.
vivo is one of the few companies that has attuned itself to the needs of photographers, and now with its latest phone, towards videographers as well. Since its inception in 2009, it has brought about incremental changes in the camera technology employed in its phones. It was the first company to introduce the pop-up selfie camera in 2018, and very recently launched the first-ever use of gimbal technology for stabilisation in phones, in their latest offering, the vivo X50 Pro.
K Madhavan Pillai, Chief Editor of Better Photography and I, Conchita Fernandes, Senior Features Editor, took the X50 Pro for a spin to see just how well the camera works in different environments.
